This is a LONG overdue review of one of my favorite sushi restaurants-- ever. I'm a sashimi snob and have been to some of the best sushi restaurants in LA/SF/DC/NYC and around the world. I've had omakase in all those cities and have eaten at the fanciest as well as the worst. Sushi Yoshi is unparalleled in its value for the quality fish, food and service. You will not find a place more reasonably priced than Sushi Yoshi. Of course the fish and cuts are not what you'd expect at Nobu; but it's REALLY good. The fish is fresh and the portions are big!! It also serves the BEST hamachi Kama you will ever eat anywhere. Hands down the best. The meat is thick and not overly greasy like other places (that usually serves a very think piece of the collar.) The chef and owner Mark is also extremely personable and generous with his portions. You can trust him to use great quality ingredients and fish directly flown from Japan. My family ordered from Sushi Yoshi at least once a week during COVID. They stayed open all throughout the pandemic! In fact, we often had to wait for 15-20 min to place an order on the phone because they were so busy and popular! We still order almost every three weeks or so (whenever I visit my sister's.) And I eat two orders of chirashi sashimi by myself! (Without the rice) All in all, I'd highly recommend trying Sushi Yoshi if you haven't yet. It's a gem in Vienna!

I'm not a sushi snob and I wanted to give Sushi Yoshi a try even though I have heard about the bad reviews with the owner change many years ago. I ordered the lunch chirashi bowl to-go and my first impression was they provided a lot.The real review comes after I actually opened the container. The questionable quality was visible as it appeared slimy instead of firm. To their defense, the taste wasn't as bad as it's appearance but it was still below par from all the other local places.Now that I have confirmed the reviews, I won't be going back and I am sad to confirm the place is no longer the place that many of us loved and frequented.

Worst sushi I have ever had. The fish wasn't fresh at all. The fish is supposed to be firm, not soft.

Fantastic fresh fish. Can’t say enough about the quality of the food and the taste! Service was okay but we were there on a Sunday during an apparent rush, so I take it with a grain of salt. They made an effort to get us a table as quick as possible, however do not come here with a group more than 4, the tables are small. Parking right next to the restaurant is limited but there is some street parking and some lots across the street. Overall, great experience! Would take any of the less than favorable parts for the superior quality sushi.
It's cute.Quiet and friendlyoverflowingreallyIt's a good place

Sushi Yoshi is a hidden gem among local sushi spots. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an outstanding dining experience.One of the highlights was their tea, it perfectly complemented the sushi. I found myself savoring each sip as it enhanced the overall meal.The real star, of course, was the sushi. It was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. Each piece melted in my mouth, bursting with flavor. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or new to the world of sushi, you'll appreciate the quality and variety offered here.What sets Sushi Yoshi apart is its local charm. It feels like a neighborhood gem, where the staff greets you with a smile, and you can tell they take pride in their craft.I'm already planning my next visit. If it were possible, I'd dine at Sushi Yoshi every week. It's an exceptional local find, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone who appreciates excellent sushi and a welcoming atmosphere.
A decent all around Japanese spot in Vienna. They don't seem to specialize, offering both sushi and grill options. Food is good, staff is attentive and courteous. There are a limited number of tables, and the atmosphere is conducive to a small, intimate meal. There is a small lot (maybe 6 spaces) and street parking.

This is not authentic Japanese. Most of the food taste like Vietnamese or food off a Chinese buffet stand. What an insult to Japanese cuisine. If you read some of the previous reviews, they start off as “we are Japanese” obviously wrote fake reviews trying to justify their food is authentic. Most likely written by their staff because this place is gross.

We went here for lunch. Staff was prompt and attentive. Food came out quick. However, the food were sub par. We ordered roll combos. And I could taste coconut milk in sushi rice. Who on earth would cook sushi rice with coconut milk? The rolls were weird and gross.

Sushi is AWESOME! The scallop roll, you must order it. The Japanese lasagna also very good. This place is best in this area.
