Yojimbo - Alameda

The food at this restaurant is fantastic! I highly recommend it. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is lovely. The spicy miso ramen with pork is delicious, and the chicken Katsu bento box is also a popular choice!

We arrived at this restaurant late in the afternoon around 3:30pm after spending a few hours at Alameda beach and we were quite hungry. The place had a very cool vibe, with its decor filled with art and animated paintings/drawings. It felt like we were in Japan as soon as we walked in. The service was quick and friendly, and we ordered 8 sushi rolls and makis which were all fresh and delicious. Our 5.5 year old daughter even said it was the best sushi she had ever tried and ate 11 pieces, enjoying each one. Although we were too full to try the complimentary miso soup they offered us, we appreciated the gesture. They do not serve sake or alcohol, in case that is something you enjoy pairing with your meal. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

Really good food, (in fairly large servings if you're hungry), pretty good service, and the atmosphere is amazing. They have lots of art, little figurines, and they play a lot of great movies (mostly Studio Ghibli as far as I could tell) on the TVs. Great place.

This restaurant is always a hit! I love the interior space and the vibe it brings with its paintings and cute little figurines. The poke salad was delicious and I will definitely be ordering it again in the future. However, the pork ramen was a little below average. There were too many bean sprouts and spring onions and barely any noodles. The charsiu was a bit dry as well.

4 out of 5 sushi place. The speciality rolls were decent. The nigiri was tasty but didn't seem super fresh. Would go back if my go-to was closed.
