Exceptional Food, Chill Spot
I search for places like this. It's a nice, quiet place for lunch. The food is exceptional and really quite cheap for what you're getting. Top-notch quality in a chill little spot.

Great Family Meal with Friendly Service
We came here based on a recommendation from my daughter and had a great meal here as a family. The food was great and the service was very friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town.

Huge Portions, Cozy Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the size L popcorn chicken for around $12, and the portion was incredibly generous, like a mountain. The food was super good, and the customer service was excellent. The environment was cozy and immersive. I highly recommend the popcorn chicken and suggest making your own spicy mayo sauce with it at the sauce station!

Exceptional Sunset Dining Experience
I'm struggling to decide what to praise first: the service, the food, or the price, as all three are among the best in the Sunset. While it's great for take away, dining in is always a treat. Do yourself a favor and stop in!

Delicious Japanese Food with Great Value
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great chill/casual sit-down spot to enjoy Japanese food. The sushi smacks hard, and the prices are great. I also enjoyed all the other curries, rolls, and soups. The owner, Yoyo, is knowledgeable and passionate, offering a quick lesson on fish, which shows she truly enjoys her restaurant.

Good Food, Friendly Service, Tricky Parking
My experience at this restaurant was positive. It's conveniently located and not too expensive. I ordered over the phone and picked up my food. The service was very friendly, and I appreciated the vegetarian options. However, parking can be difficult in this area, especially with several new restaurants nearby. I would return.

YO-YO is the GOAT!
My experience at YO-YO was exceptional. The reviewer considers YO-YO the "GOAT" and consistently finds quality Japanese food. Despite longer waits during busy periods, the staff "hooks us up" with complimentary miso soup and brown sugar boba. The prices are the best seen outside of Japan, with "quantity/quality does NOT disappoint. " The menu is extensive, catering to all "Japanese (food) fantasies. " The only "complaint" is that this "hole-in-the-wall gem" isn't closer. The reviewer strongly encourages showing Yo-yo some love! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing Homemade Sauces and Tasty Food!
My favorite thing about this place is the HOMEMADE SOY SAUCE 😍 It's very supple, not overly salty, and blends right into any dish you're having 😇 Among the other homemade sauces are the katsu sauce, salad dressing, and soy sauce. That's the quality you're going to enjoy here. The food is tasty and the portions are great! Worth it! 😁❤️👍

Delicious food, huge portions, great staff!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The staff were super nice, and the food was delicious with huge portions. I especially enjoyed the popcorn chicken, which was so fresh it couldn't have been made any better.
