Yoko Sushi — Restaurant in Virginia

Some bad, some good. My 1st visit. They greeted in Japanese but I later heard them speaking Korean constantly. So, excited to practice my bit of Korean, I asked in Korean if the waitress spoke Korean. She said yes and I said I speak it very little. She was very nice, relaxed, and helpful. I didn't get her name, but she was very slim with hair shorter than shoulder length. I did notice that the heavier and older woman named Sun stared me down seemingly Furiously when I later said excuse me in Korean just generally for whichever waitress would be able to come to my table. I asked how much extra to sub the avocado for fish or shrimp in the (~$7.50) eel roll and getting an answer took around 15 minutes, no exaggeration. First they said $3 more but then offered it at an extra $2 and I promptly agreed. Luckily, it was Delicious. However, the Salmon Skin salad was horrible. It was not on the menu but when I asked upon my arrival they said they offer it. It was very burned and of a sour flavor, not lightly burned and covered in a sweet sauce like I had elsewhere. Restaurants differ but I feel it at least shouldn't have been very burned. I ate it though...to not cause any inconvenience for the staff or risk problems of a bad attitude toward me. The reciept/check showed that tiny burned salad as almost $10. I had been told it would be around $7, so that was when I said excuse me (plainly, not angrily). After the angry stare Sun gave me as and after she approached, she quickly changed the price. The other waitress said sorry as Sun adjusted the receipt and I said it was okay. My total was over $17 plus I left a small tip. I have a meager budget and rarely dine out but I'm a 50% rate tipper (not 15%) if service is great/friendly and quick even if the food is average. I can't recommend this place due to the long wait time to get basic info even though there were only 2 other tables...plus the pricing and...

After reading positive reviews on Google, we decided to try out this Japanese restaurant in Oakton. We opted for the Sushi & Sashimi Set for Two, which included eight pieces of sushi, ten pieces of sashimi, a California roll, and a shrimp tempura roll. We were both impressed with the food quality; the sashimi was incredibly fresh and melted in our mouths, while the sushi rice was perfectly seasoned and of excellent quality. The portion size was generous, and the set also came with complimentary salad and miso soup, which were both fresh and flavorful. For our appetizer, we had Agedash Tofu, which was perfectly cooked and had an outstanding balance of flavor. Our server provided excellent service, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, with a minimal design and warm wood-toned furniture that created an authentic Japanese atmosphere. We plan to return to try more dishes...

First of all they serve me a small hot sake and charge me for a large. The miso soup was bland warm water. No seaweed in the soup or tofu! So the waitress brought me a second bowl of warm water that had two pieces of tofu and a couple little tiny bit of seaweed and a couple of onions floating on the top! I sat at the sushi bar because generally the person at the sushi is very nice and a lot of fun! He never said hello to me or how are you! The gentleman preparing the sushi had a frown on his face the whole time! Very unpleasant! He finally said something as I was walking to the door! I'm not quite sure what he was saying! But it was a bit too late! Average food at best and way too expensive! $40 for one person!!! I will not...
