Yokoso is a nice small restaurants. Portions seem to be much smaller, must be shrinkflation. Service tends to be good, but their is one prrson who makes the experience, even otdering unpleasant. The owners wifes sister, should not be working in hospitality, as she is not hospitable. She is rude, unprofessional and dismissive. When she is alone in the restaurant, even when they are not busy, she does not bother to answer the phone. Regarding delivery/takeaway orders, even when asked, she puts the hot items in the same bag as the cold, which does not make sense, as surely nobody likes hot sashimi that come on top of you katsu curry.
