2nd Yo Sushi

I logged onto Unilocal just to write this because I was stunned. Haven’t been on here in years. Read this whole damned thing for I only speak the truth.
I ordered last night b/​c family ate Thanksgiving meal at 3 and I’m hungry again at 10:30. Called to make sure they were open, which they were. Very polite on the phone — tells me it’s 30 minutes for my order that costs $ 12.95 on the menu.
Delivery man is prompt! 35 minutes later, he’s here.
As I open the door to greet him, he’s all «happy holidays“two or three times, and I greet him in kind. Hand him a 20, and his face lights up as he begins thanking me profusely. I’m now dreading that I’m going to have to ask for change, but I’m not exactly rich, and he’s crazy if he thinks he’s getting a ~75% tip. The bill comes to $ 14.10 with tax, so I figure a $ 3.90 tip, amounting to +30% is pretty nice for 10 minutes work.
I ask for 2 dollars back, and to sum up, he moans, groans, pretends not to understand my request, makes me repeat myself 3 times, and FINALLY when he takes out his wallet (do they not give delivery people cash?), he has the AUDACITY to hand me ONE FUCKING DOLLAR and go «ok?» like we’re fucking bartering in the stairwell, like I just visited his garage sale at 11 PM on a Thursday and decided to haggle for food.
I was dumbfounded. In my stunned silence, he then changes his mind, I think, and starts waving towards the dollar in my hand as though asking for it back, or maybe he wanted to increase it to $ 2, but I thought it would indeed be a bit much for me to shake this guy down for change when I’m fairly certain I am better off than he is… but I’ll be DAMNED AS A SATANIC HERETICAL ARSONIST if I ever order from that place again.
The food was decent. No soy sauce though, wtf? Luckily condiments last forever for some reason. The chicken, however, was gamey and not choice. Rice was good (thank fuck for that).
TL;DR
If you order delivery from this place, make sure you either pay and tip online, or have exact cash, because their delivery personnel are flat-​out rude.

Very disappointed that I spent 7.50 $ on a chicken katsu salad and it consisted of one piece of soggy chicken and iceberg lettuce…
Like, seriously? Not even a tomato?

Ordered some sushi rolls and I was pretty upset that I paid extra for spicy mayo but they forgot to give it to me. I had to eat it with nasty soy sauce. I always hated soy sauce because it tastes superrrrr salty and it burns my lips. Sorry but I just couldn’t enjoy the food. They did call me after I’d given up on my food to apologize and offer to refund my $ 1. I told them it’s ok… its not the $ 1 I care about.
Spicy crunchy tuna was neither spicy nor crunchy and eel avocado roll was like 1 part eel to 9 part avocado.
Delivery dude was kinda rude too. Closed my own door on me while I thanked him lol.
Portions are big.

Love the sushi. My only complaint is that they never provide enough chopsticks or soy sauce.

Terrible. The fish tastes like chlorine and it took them an hour and a half to deliver just across town.

Food is okay. But DELIVERY SUCKS… Literally waited an OVER AN HOUR and I live 0.2 miles away… NO…

Just ordered takeout from these guys and everything looks and tastes amazing! The eel avocado roll has a generous portion of eel and perfectly ripened avocado with a vibrant color and great taste. Really makes for a great taste. Great deal on salmon roe compared to most places. Highly recommend it in the Yellowtail Special Roll ($ 8) and as an a la carte piece ($ 3). Thanks guys for being fast and never making a mistake on an order! (:

I was in the area and stopped in for some sushi. There was no one in the restaurant except me ! The service was terrible. After sitting for 3 min we were given a menu. Then we waited while the one server dealt with the phone and take out orders. They did seem to have a busy take out business but the service was terrible. The 2 rolls I had were good, nothing spectacular but not bad. Would have been a better meal of the service was better. If you’re in the area it’s Ok, despite the ‘B’ health rating

Ordered delivery.
Food was bland, cleanliness dubious, and service unprofessional. The delivery boy first asked to come into our apartment to see the rooms (!!!), then requested more tip in cash even though it has been included in the order.
Don order from here.

Ordered delivery. Finished most of my sushi and later found a cockroach in one of the rolls. It was crawling and still alive. Never ordering from this place.

ok, so the sushi isn’t the BEST around, BUT their delivery service is super fast. I usually order the cooked lunch specials. you get a lot for your money. judging from the sushi rolls that come with the bento meals, I wouldn’t order sushi there. too much rice. ill stick to my teriyaki. not so terrible that I wouldn’t order from again, because I will.

Ew-​uhhhhhhh
Chicken teriyaki came swimming in watery teriyaki sauce. The onions weren’t sauteed well enough and tasted absolutely raw.

Had take out and it was hands down the absolute worse sushi I have ever ordered.
Unfortunately I was forced into this lunch by my co-​workers. Had the sushi entrée deluxe and the fish was old (warm and dry). Just terrible!!!

Today after work I was on a personal mission to arm myself with a massive amount of sushi and watch movies all evening. I turned to Yo Sushi as my accomplice as I figured this place might be a good compromise between quality and quantity.
I ordered the large chirashi, one of their signature rolls, a seaweed salad, and one piece of uni. It was definitely a lot of food, and they included a miso soup.
I placed the order on seamless, and they called to tell me they were out of uni. I asked them to just take it off the bill and I was a bit worried they wouldn’t refund the charge to my credit card. I am happy to report that it looks like they did issue the refund.
The sushi was okay. The tuna in the chirashi had a bit of a course texture. The miso soup was lacking flavor. The roll was good, but I did think the eel on top was sliced a unfortunately thin. Also, shrimp was one of the ingredients in the roll, but there was so little of it that it was hard to find. I would, however, recommend rolls from this restaurant over individual sushi pieces as the exact quality of the fish is less important in a roll.
I did not expect the sushi from this restaurant to be top notch, so felt fine about what I got for the sake of saving. After the meal though, I compared the prices from Yo with a higher quality sushi place in the neighborhood and I was disappointed to see that the prices are identical for most items. So in end I learned that it would have cost me exactly the same amount of money to order higher grade sushi from another area restaurant.
But I did take advantage of the 20% off deal on Seamless, so that represents a good savings I couldn’t have found elsewhere. I can’t say I would recommend this place though and I probably won’t be going back when I can get better sushi for the same price closer to home.

Ordered the 3-​roll sushi lunch special and it was alright. I like that Yo Sushi has a variety of rolls and comes with soup and salad — I was full after eating half my meal. It’s a decent price and delivery was relatively fast. The sushi seemed fresh — I just wasn’t wowed by it.
The main reason I ordered from Yo Sushi was because it would:
a) fulfill my sushi craving
b) was within my office’s delivery range and
c) gave me the most bang for my buck (out of all the sushi delivery places)
Was it the best sushi I’ve ever had? No — but it was a lot of food for what I spent — and that’s all that really matters at the moment.

Eek! Methinks not.
My food hasn’t even come yet, and I can already confidently give this place 1 star. Their quoted 30 – 45 minute delivery time is currently at an hour and ten minutes. When I called them, I got a disconnect sound. I called them again, and got a busy signal. I called a third time, and this unfriendly thing picked up. I told her my food was late, and she said «It’s on its way» just to hang up on me. B! tch.
Yo, Sushi… I hope you lose customers. You deserve to.
P. S. Guys, put your reviews on SEAMLESS too! This place is the highest rated Japanese place in Midtown, which is why so many people order from it.

Enjoyed this food for the most part. I’d give it a 3.5 for effort.
Decently fresh and tasty sushi box «lunch special». If it were up to me I’d call it more of a «lunch mundane» than a lunch special… but it was a solid mundane at that and my co-​workers seemed please with it too overall.
Well priced for the worth. My meal came with soup (corn egg drop — yum!) and left me feeling a positive vibe toward Yo Sushi.

My friends and I put in a large order through seamless and it took TWO HOURS to arrive. During that time they peppered our phone conversations with lies («Your order is already on its way»), run-​arounds («What is your seamless web order number?») and stall tactics («Look outside your window and tell me if you can see the delivery man!»). We should have realized it was a bad scene when we were put on hold and incidentally overheard them giving a gushing apology to another customer.
When the «sushi» finally arrived it was virtually inedible. It was, without a doubt, the worst sushi I’ve had in New York City. The fish was brown, oxidized, crusty. The rolls were falling apart. Fried things were soggy and undercooked. The best part of the meal was that sh! tty Japanese restaurant salad you get with the orange ginger dressing. One nice slice of cucumber and a single, insultingly small cherry tomato. I would rather have eaten sushi from a stinky midtown bodega.
Thanks, Yo Sushi! Your quality establishment is a great reminder that my immune system is still functioning properly.

Overall 3.5 stars.
Décor: ⁴⁄₅
–Looks very organized and clean but that’s cause we were the only diners tonight
Service: 3.5÷5
–Good service, they gave us some soup on the house which was generous of them
Sushi: 3.5÷5
–Super white tuna with avocado: large cuts of tuna and avocado. I wasn’t a fan of the sushi rice though. It was a bit on the hard side.
–Alaskan Roll: i’ve had better. but it’s decent.
–These rolls were priced on average ($ 4 to $ 4.50)
If you want AMAZING sushi, go to Sushi Yasuda.

This review doesn’t cover very much of Yo Sushi’s food.
SeamlessWeb was offering 20% off delivery from Yo Sushi. To be honest I’ve passé\ this place quite a lot and the awning/​look of it is so sub par that I never thought to go in and try it. So I figured why not, I order a spicy lovers roll from the special roll section of the menu and it was actually very good. All the ingredients were fresh (salmon, spicy tuna, avocado). I’m glad that now I know Yo Sushi has quality fish.
SeamlessWeb said 25 – 45 minutes for delivery — my food arrived in 15 with a friendly delivery guy. Because the prices were quite reasonable I’d consider eating from Yo Sushi again in the future.
