Yi Sushi — Restaurant in California

This place is awesome. I ordered through door dash. I got the Teriyaki Chicken bowl, Pork Gyoza, and the Yi Maki for 2 which includes a Dragon roll, Shrimp tempura, rainbow roll and a sake roll. The teriyaki chicken bowl has broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots in it. The veggies were cooked perfectly, even the mushrooms (which is hard to come by). They include a LOT of chicken. It was well cooked and tasted great. The rice was absolutely perfect sticky rice. It wasn’t over cooked at all. So yummy! The pork gyoza is the only reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5. They were overcooked and they included the tiniest amount of sauce. It honestly looked like someone put a teaspoon of sauce in and then forgot to fill it the rest of the way. The flavor was also underwhelming. The rolls OMG, they were so yummy. The presentation was an extra bonus. They put it in a tray that has a small well in the center for soy sauce and they arrange the sushi so that it’s not just a random mess. They put real effort into it even though it was just being delivered. It’s not important when sushi taste good but it was a pleasant surprise. They give you plenty of wasabi for those who like it and included white pickled ginger. The Dragon roll was tasty. It was the least exciting of the rolls ordered, but it was still enjoyable. It has eel and cucumber inside, but there wasn’t very much eel. There was plenty of beautiful and perfectly ripe avocado on top. The shrimp tempura was great. The shrimp was cooked well and perfectly crispy. They put some kind of spring lettuce inside that I was weary of it not tasting good or being limp and slimy, but it was crisp and actually was great in the roll. The rainbow roll was awesome and they give you great large pieces of fish on top. There was 2 kinds of tuna, yellow tail and salmon. My favorite was the sake roll. It has spicy salmon and avocado inside and it’s topped with generous slices of salmon on top. It wasn’t too spicy, just right. I like a lot of spice, and compensate with wasabi, but those who like medium+ spice will not be disappointed. Even someone who likes mild will still enjoy it, IMO. There was so much salmon inside and out. It was amazing. Usually less expensive sushi places will skimp on the fish and it’s mostly just a ball of rice. Not this place! You will NOT be...

Yi Sushi Review

Today I stopped in at Yi Sushi for a quick bite and ended up staying for an experience! I was greeted by a young lady with such a kind spirit, which set the tone for the visit.

They had plenty of specials and happy hour deals that immediately caught my attention. The Shrimp Consomé soup intrigued me right away, and there was also a Salmon Kama special that sounded amazing. I had originally planned to get my food to go, but since the salmon was dine‑in only, I decided to stay—and I’m so glad I did!

I sat at the sushi bar, where the chef served each dish directly to me, fresh from his hands. Let me tell you, that Shrimp Consomé soup was chef’s kiss! The flavor, the texture, and the crunch of the patty with the green onions on top—it was absolutely perfect. I could have easily gone for a second bowl.

Next came the Unagi, served as a pair. Fresh, rich, and so satisfying. Then came the star of the night: the Salmon Kama. I didn’t know what to expect, but it did not disappoint! The salmon was grilled to absolute perfection—tender on the inside with just the right amount of char. Honestly, all it was missing was a side of rice, which I’ll make sure to order next time.

I was so full by this point that I had my Crunch Roll packed to go. But before I left, I couldn’t resist trying a piece of Yellowtail tuna. It was exquisite—soft, delicate, flavorful, and not fishy at all. That’s definitely on my list for my next visit!

Special shoutout to my server, Anne, who was an absolute darling—kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.

I came for a quick sushi stop, but Yi Sushi turned it into a memorable meal. I’ll...

I order the chicken hibachi meal and fried calamari from door dash. Absolutely disappionting and disgusting. First thing I noticed was the sickening, off putting smell of the calamari which doesn't make sense because the batter nor the actual calamari was not seasoned. I ate 2 then stopped realizing its first tasteless and the smell was disgusting and maybe the seafood went bad. So then I go to try the chicken hibachi which included fried rice and vegetables. The entire tray smelled like warm deli ham. The rice did have flavor just not a good one. The chicken was coated with some bitter teriyaki sauce and the meat itself just did not sit right with me because of the texture of the chew. Even if it is dark meat I've never seen dark meat like this, the chicken had spotty dark spots...the vegetables also covered in the same sauce was ruined because it took to the sauce too much. I tried to save the food by adding panda express teriyaki sauce but that couldn't even save it. This is how I know I wasn't dealing with covid symptoms because I could smell the pungent odor the food was giving off and my panda express teriyaki sauce tasted the way it have always tasted to me. Im very upset I wasted money on this place. Maybe they should only sell sushi and not venture into other cuisines at all. Seriously im sick to my stomach right now after taking a few...
