This place is real Japanese food. You wont get teriyaki sauce over rice with sesame chicken found in Americanized faux-Japanese places. Broths are different for each noodle type unlike other places that have the same broth used on everything. Portions and flavors are the real thing from Japan. You want low quality food-court grub, go elsewhere. We have been going to Yoshi Restaurant for a couple years and have found all of the food to be the most authentic Japanese food in Sacramento. [update 2017] Original owner of Zen Toro in Davis retired. The quality isnt the same and therefore cant be compared to Yoshis as in the previous review. Its not worth driving to Davis at this point. [end 2017 update] The Japanese palette is a lot more delicate and subtle than the standard American palette. This means folks who are accustomed to lots of sauces and mayonnaise poured over their food will not like this place. That said, Ive had food from Shizuoka, Ginza, Saitama, Yokohama, etc. and appreciate the level of craftsmanship that goes into all the foods prepared in Japan. Yoshi Restaurant brings it to Sacramento. This subtle complexity can be found in their broths, dipping sauces, salads, etc. The decor is minimalistic and thrifty, and the bathroom is quite clean. Im personally OK with this because I know the emphasis is on the food and not on the bling-bling. In short, if you want the best Sacramento and Japan has to offer, Yoshi is the real deal [update 2017] and remains the best in my opinion [end update 2017].

First time going to Yoshi Japanese Restaurant and my wife and I loved it very much! This restaurant isnt for the people who love the American style sushi thats smothered in sauce. Atmosphere is friendly and very homey! Our waitress was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. We will recommend this restaurant to all of our friends and family. OH and the Miso Soup was ACTUALLY HOT instead of the warm Miso soup from other sushi places, Thumbs up for that!!

Excellent and authentic Japanese food. The sashimi was very fresh and high quality. The katsu-don was less sweet than most Japanese places, with more focus on the egg flavor, and the addition of some traditional pickled garnish. The waitress was very nice, speaking to my kids in Japanese (they understand a little), adjusting the thermostat without being asked, and bringing out kid-friendly utensils. Best service Ive had at any restaurant.

Small family owned business with the best Japanese food around. I used to go to Mikunis but now I go to yoshis bc of the quality and authenticity of their food. Of course the menu is limited compared to the larger restaurants, but they make up for it with the favor and freshness of their food.

so far the only sushi place Ive been too, that has better prices than mikunis for what they have. Service isnt bad either, although I wouldnt complain. last, it feels homely and not that fancy! try out yoshis if you can, not bad, exceptionally good too, see if you like it or not

I go here every week to get the Sushi Mix, and I am never disappointed. The servers are very warm and welcoming and the fish is very fresh. I would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys Japanese cuisine and I am very glad to have such a high quality restaurant close by.

My husband and I have just discovered this tiny little restaurant and we have quickly fell in love with it. The restaurant may be tiny but, its full of warmth and kindness. The staff and owners are always nice and courteous. They even taught us some Japanese too

First time going here. The food is okay, but the portion you get for the price is bad. I would rather go to Mikunis. I dont think they have sesame chicken either. The service was bad. They never refilled my drinks or grabbed any finished plates.

I absolutely love this place! The nagiri is fresh and delicious and their buta bara don is one of the tastiest dishes I have EVER had. I cannot recommend Yoshi highly enough. If you like Japanese food, you will love Yoshi.
