Yoshi Sushi - LATHAM

I can’t believe so many years may have passed since we last had sushi from Yoshi. So many people have said the best sushi they’ve had in the Capital region was at or from Yoshi. But we kept on trying new places over the years as each one opened. None of them that are still in business today ever became a regular for us. Some had better and fresher sushi than others, and some offered fancier and bigger maki (rolls) that were almost a meal in themselves. But I think we may now start returning to Yoshi’s to make it our regular sushi place. It’s a warm and inviting, no frills type of place.<br/ <br/ First of all, the Miso Soup is just the way we like it. It is flavorful with just enough dashi, tofu, seaweed, and green onion. But most important is the freshness of all the fish used in the sushi. We had probably ten different fish on this visit and all of it was deliciously fresh. A real positive for my wife was the size of the maki pieces. She was able to easily place a whole piece of maki in her mouth without biting it and having all the remaining contents fall apart. The nigiri have an ample amount of fresh fish on each ball of rice allowing for two or three bites.<br/ <br/ Just looking at the pictures provided by reviewers should be enough to encourage you to visit. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of what is served. Interestingly, a comparison with a menu from seven years ago shows many prices have not changed. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. Large cups of hot tea were offered as soon as we sat down and refilled as needed. Yoshi Sushi does not have an alcohol license, but their web page says BYOB.

The lunch bento box is a great bargain. Service is so-so.

Yoshi's is a good, and friendly neighborhood sushi place. We have been going to Yoshi's since it has opened. The fish is always fresh and well presented. Many of the other local sushi restaurant alternatives are not Japanese owned and operated. We have always found Yoshi to be personable and accomodating. The greatest testament to a good sushi restaurant is consistency and freshness of the fish; that has always been our experience at Yoshi's.

Absolutely FANTASTIC. The chef here is a complete master and everything was superb. Highly recommend the sushi and sashimi platter. Service was excellent and they were very welcoming. Prices were great. Will definitely be back often.

I have been going to Yoshi's for the best sushi in the Capital District for nearly two decades. Yoshi and his wife run this small family business, where they do nearly everything themselves. They always remember their regular customers, and the food is consistently fresh.
