Sushi Yoko
I’ve been going to Sushi Yoko for many, many years — back when it was still called Sushi Yoshi. It remains my go-to place for a great yet inexpensive lunch. Yoshi was really stellar but the owners decided to move it to Spalding Dr. a few years ago, and ended up selling Yoko. As fate would have it, Yoshi closed not too long ago and Yoko, whose owners were smart enough to keep all of Yoshi’s fans is still going strong and has been for quite a while.
Everything here is good and I suggest you go during lunch if you want to eat through the menu at very reasonable prices. You see, a combination of two items costs only $7.50 and includes miso soup and salad. I always get two combinations for a total of 4 items which sets me back a mere $15. Can’t beat that. Sushi and sashimi lunch plates cost the same. Other items start at $6.85 and nothing goes over $10.50.
My favorite items here are: hamachi kama (small but very fresh, seasoned perfectly), broiled salmon, udon (chewy noodles), tempura, katsudon, gyoza (grilled and very good), nikujaga (beef stew, simmered for hours), chirashi, and of course, the sushi and sashimi. The fish here is good quality and always fresh. Be warned, though, as service has never been a selling point here. But the staff is quite responsive if you just make sure you flag them.
Insider tip:
Sodas have NO free refills.

Agree completely. Started eating there years ago and always thought it a hidden sushi gem of the ATL sushi-scene

I’m a sucker for good udon and that bowl looks delicious!
I find that with Asian restaurants (especially Korean ones) the service is either excellent or below-par. Not quite a happy medium

My mouth is watering over these dishes. Tomorrow, I will definitely eat some sushi.

@Grey couldn’t have said it any better
@Sean true. I’ve gotten used to sub-par.
@VSanchez and I’m craving for Mexican food

don’t forget the bonus of having the japanese grocery (Tomato) right next door!

I’ve only gotten to go to Sushi Yoko once, but I definitely want to return. I was pleased with the fish quality. Thank you again for letting me know about it!
