Yagumo Sushi: Reviews & Ratings
This place needs to be on the map for the most freshest sushi in town at a cheap price. I have ate here for decades and my dad used to come here for lunch when he used to work in the area. The owner is here preparing sushi here as well!
It was so good. Came in for lunch while I'm the area and we are so glad we did. Service was good and food was even better. The hand rolls were delicious and the soft shell crab roll was crispy. We will definitely be back again.
I have live next to this place my entire life never tried it until this week.some of the best hand rolls and spicy just thinking about it craving it
Finally tried this place dine in. Went on a Friday night and called again to make sure that there's no wait time. Personal who answered the phone said that there will be a table available and would reserve it for us so I told him I'll be there in a few mins since I'm already in the area. Got there and sat in a corner table in front of the tv. The place has a few tables and bar se. They have photos on the wall of people who were able to finish the level 10 spice. They're known for having that spice level on some of their rolls. We ordered a couple of tuna rolls, salmon roll, rainbow roll, L roll and some hand rolls - blue crab and avocado and spicy scallop level 3. We have no complaints with regard to taste and quality of the fish. I took out 1 star because my pet peeve with sushi cut rolls is when they're not rolled tightly. My son's L roll was loose so it sort of falls apart when you pick it up with chopsticks. They also missed 1 appetizer I ordered. They didn't charge me for it so I didn't follow up anymore. I don't recall if I asked for the check or our server just handed it to us. He was attentive otherwise with refilling drinks and the place isn't big so it's not hard to get their attention. Definitely a good place in the area for sushi - also very affordable so we would be back to try more items.
This place never fails to deliver delicious tasting sushi! The hand rolls are phenomenal and we love the fact that you can pick spicier options. The specials are also amazing! The waiter at is always friendly and attentive, amazing service from all of the staff. The owner is the best, he is very welcoming. You can tell he is extremely dedicated to giving customers the best experience.
My go to place one a week. I've been coming here for years! The owners are just the sweetest! Can't beat their pricing and quality of food!
NGL this is one of my fav hand roll places in the valley. The prices are really good, the flavors are there! What more could you want. I've ordered from door dash about 3 times now and I've never been disappointed. Hand rolls are one of my favs the crab and avocado one is always fresh and delicious same as the dynamite baked scallop! Also love tako yaki always hot when it arrives and always tastes fresh!
Hidden gem!!! Came here last minute with a friend for an impromptu celebratory dinner. Found through Yelp.. of course!! I initially called to ask if they do reservations.. no reservation needed.. perfect!! Arrived at the establishment at around 6pm. We were greeted and seated right away. Employees all wearing cloth face masks as so were we. Menus were given and the server took out drink orders right away. The menu was simple and straight forward. As Japanese cuisine should be. We ordered several dishes which arrived timely. The dishes we ordered were excellent. The rolls and hand rolls that we ordered were so nicely filled. Definitely did not cheap out on the ingredients. The grilled veggies we ordered were well grilled and very tasty. Price point was excellent as well. Totally worth it. Parking is available. Restaurant located in a strip mall. **my ONLY issue: I noticed the sushi chiefs wearing clothe face masks however the masks were not covering their nose. Which defeats the purpose of the face mask. I noticed them fixing their masks every so often and went back to preparing the sushi without washing their hands... - 1 star Food was great. Service was fast. Server was very nice. Cheers!!
