I always order a Mango Sake Roll, but today it looked different (couldn't see any mango). I tried it anyway. The first bite was spicy, which Mango Sake should not be. Had my husband try it, but he didn't notice the spice. It still didn't seem right though, so I sent it back due to lack of mango.
To my surprise, instead of making a new roll, the original was returned to me with a few bits of mango added on top. I tried another bite, and my mouth was on FIRE! I then dissected the roll only to discover fresh jalapeños inside. Mango Sake does not have jalapeños.
I sent it back and said I wanted the "real Mango Sake," but I now wanted it "to go" since my husband was finished at this point. The new roll had mangos, but still was not as it was supposed to be. I took it anyway.
All this was very disappointing, but because of my husband, I didn't discover till after we had left that they charged me for both the roll I ordered AND the jalapeño laced mistake I didn't ask for.
This experience soured my opinion of Yoko's...maybe for good. Although I like the rice there, Yoko's has little else going for it, and after today, I'm not likely to return. I can forgive their mistake, but charging me for it, crossed the line.
The $10 Yoko's got today for a roll I never ordered and had to send back, potentially cost them all my future business. I'm off to find a other place...
Read moreI remember the old Yokos on 10th...so wanted to try this one out and my wife and I loved it. I was actually surprised at how small the place is...the Yokos on 10th was a good size...this one felt small.
It was basically just us there so service was great. We started off with coconut shrimp and the cucumber crab salad (forgot the name) and wow....great start! I love cucumber salad with sweet vinegar...this one tasted fresh...the cucumber was crisp and cut just right. My wife had the coconut shrimp...they were fried just right and the sweet chili sauce was perfect. Loved it...
My wife ordered a ramen spicy soup with shrimp...I ordered the Neptune and Sexy Lady rolls. The soup was perfect...it had large strips of shrimp. Honestly, I was expecting those small "frozen" type shrimps but these felt fresh...they felt meaty. The vegetables with the soup didn't feel frozen...and the slow heat with soup definitely creeps up on you.
My rolls were quite delicious! They had a good ratio of filling to rice...each flavor was pronounced. Loved their eel sauce and the spicy mayo...
It is a little pricey overall but I'll be honest...I didn't feel robbed walking out because the food was...
Read moreWe got four different plates between me and my husband an appetizer, one sushi roll, and two plates of “stir fry noodles.” The waitress was really kind and kept up the service making sure our cup was always full! However, the food was not at all what we expected, the flavor was lacking on every single dish. The only one that was good enough to actually eat was the appetizer which me and my husband rated a 5/10. We took two bites of our meals and knew the food was very lackluster. The noodles tasted extremely bland and relied a lot on the sauce to give it flavor and even the sauce had no actual taste. Which is extremely upsetting when the tab came out to almost $60+, keep in mind we only drank water and got no fountain drinks. We had to inform the waitress that we couldn’t eat the food due to the flavor and left all of the food there, when I say we left the entire plate of food there I mean there was only maybe a bite or two missing from the food on the plates we ordered. We only got 4 dollars off. I pray they improve...
