We were craving something fresh, lite and delicious and this place definitely hit the spot. Delicious sushi and soup. We had seaweed salad, several rolls and the miso ramen soup and enjoyed all of them. The broth had a great flavor.

Really good miso ramen. Fresh ingredients. My daughters had udon with deep fried prawns . My son had chicken yakitori. Decent sized meals at a reasonable price. Good value.

The best sushi restaurant in town! I went there twice and I had bento boxes. The price was cheap and affordable for student like me. I love their miso soup, you can get the small one with $3 only!

Love a donburi chicken katsu curry and highly recommend this one. The cutlet was crisp and freshly cooked.. and the curry was so good! I was initially disappointed to see no ginger for zing, but the sauce is so good it doesnt need it :)

The staff are amazing and friendly. Truly would recommend to anyone in Auckland 👍
Jill Tuwhare
Beautiful, fresh, delicious sushi. Lovely atmosphere to eat in and no plastic with takeout. This is the best sushi and miso soup I have tasted in Auckland. Recommended!
Perry Stevens
Outstanding food, as a vegetarian it's difficult to find a wide range of options but the food here was amazing, I couldn't tell you the names of what I had to eat but it was all delicious, it was quiet and peaceful, clean and the staff were polite and helpful the decor felt traditional without hamming it up too much. I WILL be returning here again.

Yokoso Sushi make the best nagiri sushi. They make everything fresh on their premises and their food is delicious. It's our absolute favourite lunch spot. Dine in if you can. Staff are really friendly and the small dining area has a unique character. Oh... and they are open in the evenings most nights - so perfect for a light and tasty meal for dinner too! Check their website for details.

If you're looking for your new local sushi spot, look no further than Yokoso!!! It's an amazing family-owned restaurant with incredible food at an affordable price. All of the sushi is so unbelievably fresh, particularly the salmon, it's my favorite thing on the menu!!! Although, there are so many different options to choose from and there's something for everyone here. My partner is vegan and they can even accommodate for him with a vegan sushi options as well as a vegan bento box! Which is delicious, you get so much food for such a reasonable price. They honestly never disappoint. In my opinion, Yokoso has the best sushi in Auckland. If I could rate Yokoso more than 5 stars...I would!!!

Have tried a few things from their menu and have greatly enjoyed everything so far. Their Salmon Avocado Sushi, Chicken Teriyaki Sushi and plain Avocado Sushi is never a let down and they are big sushi pieces too. You can order fresh made sushi pieces (a minimum of 5), or choose a selection from their cabinet. I like to order my own, and will always try a sushi that catches my eye in their cabinet. Have tried a variety of donburi, including the tofu, beef, chicken teriyaki donburi. The flavours are never disappointing and the portions always fill me up. The Karaage donburi (chicken and prawn) is always crispy (the chicken is moist). The Katsu chicken donburi is very flavoursome and saucy, so definitely would recommend for a meal with a balance of crispiness and sauciness. The edamame is nicely seasoned along with the Miso soup that my mum goes for every time we’ve been in. The staff is very friendly too, it’s a nice little restaurant hidden away on dominion road 😋😃

Me and my bestie popped in here this afternoon for a quick sushi date after school and were both quite happy with our sushi we got. She got the teriyaki chicken roll and was happy and full off her 6. I got 5 pieces of the deluxe salmon and cream cheese roll, for my taste there was a little too much of the cream cheese other than that i was left quite happy and full after 3. The deluxe sushi roll is basically a california roll though. We also grabbed a katsu chicken salad to share and were all good with it. I guess it wasn’t the best i’ve had but not the worst. The pricing here is very reasonable and they have plenty of seating here. The service here was also very sweet.
Foodhunta
one of my fav lunch place for more healthy lunch option within walking distance of work. they have attractive sushis on display. and can also order bento set too. not a big restaurant but very clean, tidy and professional. staffs are friendly. As a salmon lover, i like their salmon bento and fresh salmon don. Today, got some sushis with a friend.
Lizzie
Such yummy sushi!! Hidden little place I stumbled across and the ladies there were so friendly! It was a little pricey but the quality was definitely evident!
Aria Mendes
Cutest little Japanese restaurant, the atmosphere was authentic and calming. Really lovely lady who served us and the older man ended up singing a song for the couple eating in store and played his little guitar/uke it was adorable!! Honestly can’t get better service than that. <br/><br/>The food was a solid 10/10 we had salmon and avo sushi roll, tempura prawn sushi roll, salmon nigiri and tempura prawn nigiri along with edamame and it was all perfect and so yummy!! We came in about an hour before closing, they made our sushi fresh and not to mention- the size of the rolls are quite large, I paid $26 in total (edamame being $6 of that) so for all the sushi being $20 was v worth it. <br/><br/>This place is amazing and I’ll always go back when I’m in the area❤️
Rosanne Choy
Came in tonight with the family for dinner. The tofu was flavourful and salad sauce was delicious. Karaage was deep fried perfectly. A variety of sushi was served inside the bento. Service was good. Would come again.
Shar Young
Came here to grab a quick lunch and was greeted nicely. Small little restaurant but cute and charming. Picked out a few pieces of sushi to go and they all looked mouth watering! Salmon was fresh- cut nicely, the nigiri and rolls looked well presented, and so delicious! You can tell it’s good quality sushi made with quality ingredients. Will return again very soon 🍣
The Poor Foodie
I would give it a 4.8/5 so rounding it up to 5/5!<br/>❤️: large variety of sushi and all sushi looked sooooo pretty. I especially like the black rice roll and the teriyaki beef (?) roll. Thought the beef would be quite dry and tough (from the appearance) but I was wrong. The beef was really well flavoured and not tough at all. Salmon was fresh. The lady who seems to be the owner was so nice and she even gave me free miso soup because I told her it’s my first time coming to this sushi place.<br/><br/>😑: sushi was slightly at the pricey end. The roll sushi is like $1.3 or $1.7 but the other fancy-looking ones didn’t have prices. I got 5 pieces and it was $9 (probably because of the nigiri I got (i think it’s $3 :/) <br/><br/>I took 0.2 point down because of the price but the quality was good! The free miso soup literally made my day!
Sarah Wallis
Yokoso is small and cute, like eating in the owners dining room, great food with authentic home made freshness. The bento box is great dinner with lots of yummy varity.
Sandra Judy French
Our go-to for Japanese in Mt. Eden. The karaage don - which comes in chicken or prawn is my fav. <br/>Also recommended the yakisoba. <br/>Not much for ambience, but a good feed. Very reasonable prices too. $30 for two.
Celina Chang
My partner came here for dinner and ordered a salmon salad and 2 bento boxes. Our bento boxes came with a side of tempura that was cold and had obviously been sitting outside all day before they were used for our meal. This is the coldest my meal has ever been at a restaurant - they hadn’t even bothered to re-fry it. Will not be returning to this place any time soon.
Hasiba Zareh
I had really high expectations for this place! Unfortunately the sushi was lacklustre and bland. The noodles were really salty and the gyoza was crunchy but not in a good way, they were rubbery <br/>It’s difficult when choosing sushi, as the cabinet doesn’t have labels. They are quite understaffed <br/>there is lovely artwork all over the little dinning area.
Sonia Wilson
My partner and I love eating at Yokoso. In a way, it has become a home-away-from-home of sorts in the sense we are always welcomed there with love, enthusiasm and delicious food. I tend to order the salmon bento box which is always delicious and never twice the same. I also like the miso ramen (ramen noodles topped with pork, egg, seaweed and vegetables). I must admit I usually stick to one of those two options but I have occasionally tried other menu items or sushi assortments and it's all been good... Highly recommended! The owners are lovely and very hard-working people. If you're lucky, you may even hear the chef playing his miniature guitar :) The recorded music selection here tends to be very enjoyable, i find, as opposed to other dining experiences i've had around Auckland recently.
CrazyCatLady_EmmaC
Visit here sometime as I work nearby. The food is average and portion is rather small. Taste and service speed is ok. If you feel like sushi or donburi this is probably the only place nearby.
Lo9ve3r 4s
Sushi is really yum and fresh, the amount of filling in each sushi is generous. There are some unique-looking ones and everything I've tried are delicious. Price tag not too expensive. Miso was a bit sweet/lacked depth of flavour but all in all great sushi place to go to, was quite popular too, and service is amazing. Would go back again.
Vitex
This used to be a regular lunch spot for me, and I have eaten their karaage chicken several dozen times, as well as much of the sushi menu. This is one restaurant that I rate for its atmosphere almost as much as the food. There is a strange, zen-like calm about the place. I like the proprietor. Although busy he never seems to be in a hurry, and will finish what he is doing before calmly turning to serve you. One of my finds in Mt Eden. Comforting, home-like setting - lots of long-term returning customers. Good, in a quiet Japanese way.
Alana McConnell
Affordable, but I only enjoyed around half of the food in the vegetarian bento box. Next time will definitely try the tofu donburi. Pretty nice service.
John Jung Ki Kim
Sushi was very yummy compare to other sushi takeaways. Portion was good for hot food. Woody ambience with relaxing music. Food served promptly sushi was self service. Will definately come more often.
Sylvester Kuo
Despite the owners being Koreans, Yokoso has authentic and innovative Japanese food of all sorts of styles. The service is top notch, I always feel comfortable picking my own sushi or just enjoying a nice cooked meal.<br/><br/>Their karaage chicken don is my go-to option, their yakisoba is pretty fantastic too.
Oones Connor
Yokoso is so cute. Always reminds me of a legit Japanese resturant with its interior. The customer service is great. The man in there is so sweet. I always gets the Yokosoba. They have an awesome range of sushi too. Great place for a causal lunch
Ayaan
Looking for good sushi look no further the tofu donburi is to die for sitting quietly on dominion road you don't realise how good it is to you try it I'll be back 🙏
Gabby
Would highly recommend this place. Ordered the edamame beans, gyoza, yakisoba and chicken bento box to share between two and it all only cost $40! The chicken bento box was the best bento box have had as it had such a variety of things within it, would highly recommend to order this!
Yusoff Kamal
Went for lunch here with a friend and I really like the interior of this place. It's nice and basic. <br/><br/>The teriyaki bento box is just delicious. I truly enjoy my meal. The miso sound that we start with have just the right Flavour. <br/><br/>There is no wow factor visiting this place but if u looking for a nice place n to have a good bento box then this is definitely one stop that you have to go. <br/><br/>
Queena
Finally made it here! Have always wanted to try out this place every time I drove past it. <br/><br/>Food wasn't bad. I got my usual teriyaki chicken udon. The chicken was nice. We also ordered the okonomiyaki which came after our mains. And that didn't taste too shabby either. <br/><br/>The service is alright. Did not get greeted or asked what we wanted to order -that kinda deal. Definitely not Japanese owned. When there's no customers, the lady behind the counter hangs out back in the kitchen. We got our own takeaway container from the sushi bar they had. Literally served ourselves. When we got up and left, they probably didn't even notice 😂
TonyF3
Hole in a wall in dominion rd, mt eden. Service was a little slow and hurried. Ordered the biggest bento box and 4 separate nigiri sushis. <br/><br/>Bad omen when all the sushis fell apart when picked up by chopsticks and later with fingers. Tasted ok but just dont like picking up the rice all over the...
Dyana Metson
Despite being a small area in size it makes the most of it, everything is well presented and I love the sushi display at the window, lots of variety and everything looks so tempting. Service is very good and staff are friendly. Very decent pricing and yummy meals, cant go wrong with this place.
Varsha Paul
My kids love their sushi. A local so we often get takeaways for the kids. Sushi is nice, interesting varieties. They could improve on their attentiveness as they are sometimes overwhelmed by customers and their service slips
Angela Trigg
Dined here for lunch. Pretty much your stock standard Japanese. Reasonable food but nothing spectacular. The service was good. Decent sized portions.
Cara
Yokoso is such an excellent Japanese restaurant! It is my favourite. <br/><br/>The food is simply delicious. Everything is fresh, flavoursome and beautifully presented. My ultimate favourite meal is the teriyaki salmon donburi. But the bento boxes are all amazing too with lots of different dishes to try. The sushi is wonderful as well.<br/><br/>The owners of the restaurant are very lovely people, so genuinely welcoming, it is always an absolute pleasure to see them. <br/><br/>I go often with a variety of people to Yokoso and we always enjoy it.
Squigglebee
Yokoso sushi has the best sushi on Dominion Road in my opinion. It also has a bar which faces the street for easy access when you are in a hurry. If you have time, their sit in menu is nice too. Their Okonomoyaki is full of flavour, same with their Teriyaki Salmon and Chicken Donburi. However it is still only average. Their Curry Katsu Chicken was not that nice, the curry was a bit watery and the vegetables in the curry were those frozen cubed ones you pick up from the supermarket. I would only go there again for the take away sushi
HJ
This little Japanese restaurant has a nice traditional feel to it through its decor and the staff that work there. We were left unattended when we first arrived as they were busy trying to fix the eftpos machine. Once sorted the service was still a little slow with general tasks like serving water and taking our order, however they were friendly.<br/><br/>We ordered the Teriyaki chicken don and the Teriyaki tofu don. Rated one of the top 100 cheap eats it was obvious why this made the list as it cost us $24. The dishes were on the smaller side for dinner portions but the teriyaki sauce was delicious. I personally think there is good potential here but need to be more customer service focused as we felt they could've been more attentive.<br/><br/>There menu offers all the usual favourites as well as sushi which is ready to go. Would recommend if your after a yummy cheap eat.
Peter Taylor
I have eaten a lot of Sushi. Would have to say that Yokoso is the best so far. I get takeaway sushi twice a week from here and would highly recommend the spicy raw salmon sushi. Great selection of vegetarian vegan options.
Daniel Stewart
First caught my attention from the street with the yummy looking sushi as your walking past. Now I come here often, love the food here! Lovely staff, great atmosphere. <br/>I've tried a number of dishes from the menu and enjoyed them all. Definitely recommend this awesome place
Nick Turnbull
Very friendly, very delicious, very reasonably priced, can't fault Yokoso! I've been in several times for sushi over lunch and have enjoyed every time :)
Gentlepig
Quality authentic Japanese food! Loads of guys that work around Dominion Road are able to sing it's praises as it's a frequent lunch spot for us. Sushi's are very fresh, and are presented immaculately. Flavours are very distinct, and the karaage always tastes crunchy, fresh and flavoursome. The owner operators are very nice people too (I promised I'm not being bribed by a free piece of sushi here and there...).
Sheena
We looked for a place with donburi and good ratings on Zomato... and found Yokoso! <br/><br/>We came for a meal around 3-4pm and surprisingly the little restaurant was empty! While we were eating, there were a couple of people who bought takeaway sushi though but only one of them dined in. <br/><br/>I got the spicy pork donburi and my boyfriend got the karaage chicken donburi. The presentation of my meal was amazing. So many colours on one plate! My pork was actually pork belly (with the layers of fat) and even though I don't like pork belly as much, the fat in this pork belly dish wasn't as noticeable. I think this was because it came in spicy sauce and it tasted so good! The only criticism I have is that my meal was slightly on the oily side. When I finished my rice you could see quite a bit of oil left on my plate. <br/><br/>The karaage chicken came drizzled with japanese mayo (which my boyfriend loved, but I wasn't a fan of). I had a stick(?) of karaage chicken and it was really crunchy and good! I felt like I couldn't taste as much chicken because most of it seemed like batter to me. My boyfriend loved his meal though. <br/><br/>Unlike most other restaurants, at Yokoso you had to pay extra for green tea and drinks. Not too sure about water but we weren't offered any when we sat down or during the entire meal at all. <br/><br/>Apart from this the staff was nice and the food was pretty good. Will most likely be back in the near future!
Emily Pavey
My absolute favourite place for sushi, have yet to find anywhere that rivals this (including nearby award winning places). So delicious and fresh, lovely service, very affordable. If I don't go for a little while I crave it and I often drive well out of my way to eat here!
Georgia Vossen
Food was delicious!! Were gonna go murder burger but walked past and changed plan, place had a lovely atmosphere nice music playing. Chef came out to serve me my food which was a nice touch, would definitely go back to try something else. Only thing is they didn't have a bathroom so I had to leave suddenly which was kinda stink coz I was enjoying the place
RJ
Delicious variety of sushi and priced well. They have a simple menu to choose from, its not expensive and the food is also made fresh. The owners are always so gracious and welcoming!
Samantha Lines
I really enjoyed the whole experience here! I went to sushi during my lunch hour and the service through a window style meant I had loads of time to eat within my half an hour off. I ordered a variety of sushi, about 8 pieces and paid $12.50 for it all which I thought was really reasonable. <br/>There are seats available inside but they're limited due to the size of the shop. It's open in the evening as well which makes it great for lunch and dinner and there are warm options too like miso. I would definitely go back for a lunch time snack or even for dinner. The soy sauce was served in a cute little plastic bottle and you can have wasabi and ginger as well. I was automatically handed a pair of chopsticks too which is something I'm not used to outside of Auckland. <br/>Overall I would recommend the place. It's probably the best sushi I've had in a long time.
Sarah Malcolm
Best sushi and friendly service! They remember us every time and we love coming here. All their staff are lovely and always very happy.<br/>We always order takeaway and its always ready on time. Chicken is always really good and they are always happy to change parts of the order for us. Well priced also! Highly recommended
Steve Thomas
My favourite Japanese place and it is cheap enough that you can have it often. The staff are super friendly, the food is tasty and the potions generous. Healthy too... Normally visit once in two weeks.
Andrea
My favourite sushi place! Have tried many flavours, all were delicious! Wish it was closer to home so I could go there more often. Great service, friendly people! Recommend this place for the sushi. Will have to return to try some of their other dishes.
Elly
I was absolutley disgusted with the service of this Sushi cafe. I have been to this place many times before but today when making an order for various vegetarian pieces I saw an option for a vegetarian Gouza (small fried dumpling). I asked the lady serving me what was inside to be told vegetables! When back at work enjoying my lunch I bit into this piece to find it FULL of meat (it appeared to be pork). I called the store for an explanation and was told it was a vegetable protein not vegetables as originally advised. It was no such thing! She said she would check her ingredients and check with her supplier which leads me to believe she truly had no idea what she was selling nor what ingredients were being used. Vegetarians beware!!! I will not be visiting again
Steve Huynh
I love the food here. Everything is so yummy. Sushi are large and fresh. I still remember the crispy ebi (shrimp). I've tried chicken donburi and it was very tasty. The staff are also friendly. I am confident to recommend this restaurant to my friends.
HayleyNieuwoudt
I love sushi and this place was beyond amazing. It is now my favourite place to eat sushi even though I live ages away from it... it's worth the trip! There is so much to choose from and everything is so fresh and delicious. Also very friendly which made for a great dining experience. Very authentic.
Cherry C. Thelmo-Fernandez
Great food with fast and friendly service. Love their sushi, large in size. Totally enjoyed the Beef Teriyaki, while my husband had a tasty and filling Chicken Bento (box). All at a very affordable price. Will certainly keep going back.
Jason Paul
Fresh, interesting sushi, friendly staff
