Yokohama — Restaurant in Alameda

I enjoyed the food from Yokohama but please be aware that the prices on the website are not accurate. I placed the order while looking at the menu on the restaurant's website (which seems to really be struggling to even populate every time I visit) and estimated the total for carryout would be about $80 after tax and tip. The order was placed over the phone and it is my mistake for not asking the total to confirm I was in the ballpark. It came out to $93 before tip. I understand inflation is hitting everyone, food is EXPENSIVE, this is a small restaurant (with incredibly friendly staff), and "you shouldn't eat out if you can't afford it", but as a customer I would have really appreciated accurate prices on the website. I can't even get the website to pull up the menu at the time of writing this (this is a huge pet peeve of mine; I wish I hadn't closed the tab last night).

The nigiri dinner is currently $25 on the website- actual price is $30. The three rolls ordered were priced at about $14, $10, and $8. The actual prices (in that same order- $19, $12, $11. To me, this is kind of a considerable price difference and I absolutely would have chosen different items had I been provided accurate prices. I didn't mention this to the staff because it costs what it costs and I'm not going to cause a fuss, but I won't be ordering from here again unless I have budgeted to spend $100+ for...

We were considering the sushi bridges but at $45 for a set meal, we went with 2 combination dinners ($19.95) instead. Each combo dinner allowed 2 dishes and comes with miso soup and salad.

UNAGI DONBURI [+] delicious! It was so soft and tender [+] probably the freshest and well grilled unagi I've had in a while [+/-] came with ginger radishes and wasabi [-] and silly me decided to try a Yelp mint size of wasabi by itself, just for the heck of it and teared uppppp! It hit the roof of the back of my mouth and I basically inhaled it and aaaaah.... don't do that to yourself lol

SALMON TERIYAKI [+] salmon was done well, first few bites were tender and juicy [+/-] best when it was hot so eat up! [+/-] came w/ a bunchhhh of bean sprouts and several pieces of broccoli (so random); this filled up the majority of the plate

PORK KATSU [-] is a rather thin piece, not very substantial in size [+/-] tasted ok but would not get again bc of portions

SASHIMI [+] 7 pieces, 3 fish varieties (tuna, salmon, and some white fish) [+/-] nothing mind-blowing and majority of the plate was filled with veggies again

Overall, I'd give it a 3.5 mainly because I'm not in a hurry to come back. I'd rather pay less for decent teriyaki at Fujiyama-Ya or pay more for great sashimi at Tekka. Yokohama is the middle ground between the two, in both price...

I don't know what these people who gave good reviews to this place are smoking?? Because this place was very disappointing and awful! First it was the greeting; the Lady was cold and seemed annoyed at our presence, second the AC wasn't on or something, third we were the only ones in this place (Sunday) and she still took her sweet time to come to our table and take our drinks order, fourth, we all KEPT saying thank you and she never replied to us nor look at us in the face! The Sushi was super tiny and not good at all, it wasn't even fresh. She and other employees kept staring at us the whole time, with a frowny face. And when she would approach our table it wasn't in a "Can I get you something else way" but more like " Are guys leaving now?" We also noticed that she wouldn't do the same when non colored customers came in, her treatment towards them was different. Even the pictures of people on the tables were of only Caucasians and Asians. Our bill was too High. For the food, the experience , the ambient and service this place was way...
