Reviews of Yoshi Japanese Steakhouse (Restaurant)

Robert Conley

The co-workers are really chill, and they keep the customers excited about eating there.

Matt Wood

Servers dont seem to enthused to be here. Soup had hardly any mushrooms or scallions. The gyoza was watery and under steamed, still cold in the middle. Sushi (crabmeat) was pretty good. The fried rice was luke warm and the chicken teriyaki was dry and seemed to be microwaved.

Ricky Haynes

The food was good but the service was horrible. The reason it gets a one star is because the place appeared to be understaffed. After complaining to the owner, he started yelling at the sushi chefs and it had nothing to do with them. Our waitress also had to wait tables in the habachi grill and was taking numerous orders and dealing with a full table and simply could not get to us.

Jason Rose

Good food...small environment

David Taylor

Food was Amazing, rating 1 star due to No Lobster being available. That was a major let down. I was really looking forward to it.

Cori Donton

Food was good. Service was lacking.

Rachel Morgan

lots of fun .lots of good food.

Lori Hathaway

It was absolutely amazing and delicious, would recommend highly

Amber Sperka

This is a great place whether you're eating at the hibachi or at a table. Staff is awesome and the food is really good. We've spent our last 4 anniversaries here and could ask for a better place

Leigh Photography

The only reason I gave it a 4 is because their waitstaff are horrible. I mean ... Every single time I eat there we get someone who doesn't smile, has no personality..my just an order taker. But the food is the best I've had. The food is the reason I keep going back. Wow. The best yum yum sauce... The best sushi and the best hibachi. The hibachi chefs, although repetitive using the same old material... are always friendly and upbeat. I will continue to go as long as their recipes don't change

Angel Code

Amazing food

Rhonda Young

Food was great, service was great. Our chef did a great job at the grill. Only reason for 4 stars is that he didn't interact with the customers. One of the main reasons for sitting at the grill is the experience.

Jeremiah Johnson

Closed before posted time, made us drive a bit out of the way to eat. Returned the next day just my two children and I. Hibachi chef was great with the kids and made them laugh! Waitor was great! Was inconvenienced by the night before though because we had drove 4 hours and set out to eat dinner there......

MasterIQ Yt

Great staff,really friendly,and the food was great

Richard McClellan

The food was awesome, and the entertainment was amazing! Highly recommend it!

Johnny Nelson

At one time was pretty good place to eat but portions have gotten smaller and if you show when one else comes in you have quite a wait

levi treat

If I could give zero stars I would! We are regular customers and have a family of 6 so you can imagine we spend a lot of money at Yoshis to eat. Within a 3 month time period that we have eaten there the food has been UNFIT to eat!!! The server nor manager if you want to call him a manager refuse to try to offer us any sort of comp for our food. We're not asking for free meals but maybe a discount for the OVER COOKED steak that we always get or the BURNT rice that seems to be the norm for them! We may not be every day or weekly customers but they have lost our business for sure! And telling the manager tonight he didn't even care! That's not management that's a greedy person who only care about money not his business and customers!! I would not recommend anyone to eat there it's a waste of money!!!

Always a great experiance

Good food and service

Great service and food. Hibachi wasn't as entertaining as previously but still good.

Blind Frogg Adventures

As a former restaurant employee for over 20 years, I can honestly say that this is one of the best experiences I've had in a very long time. Our waiter Christian was nothing less than excellent. He had a great attention to detail, you took such good care of us I completely forgot and I was eating out LOL. The Hibachi Grill was delicious and my steak was prepared rare perfectly. Everyone in my party adults and children alike had a great time and enjoyed some delicious cuisine. Make sure to ask for Christian when you go in it will definitely take good care of you. I will refer Yoshi's to everyone that I talk to you for quite some time.

Richard E Vie

Fun and good food. Great family dining with entertainment.

Moon Light

Worst japanese restaurant that I've ever been

Casey Zimmer

Fun has gone down in quality

Andrew Couche

I eat sushi on a regular basis and I live in Florida and New York, so I can tell you that this was the furthest thing from a Sushi bar. Fish wasn't cut properly and served on a bed of spiral cut carrots. Tasted like it was a day away from spoiling. Choked it down because the Mother in law lives here and wanted to take is out for a nice dinner. Next time I'll suggest the KFC buffet instead.

Mike Hoffman

It's a great and fun place to go. The staff is very friendly and the food is fabulous. The cook at are table was very entertaining and very fun we all enjoyed ourselves tremendously

alicia moyer

The food is very good and good choices for sushi. Its a little pricey.

Jason Wilhm

It was very good.. as usual.

Fate Clips

Always great, larger portion rice/ noodles would be greater Best in town, always fresh,quality ingredients and clean. Seems hard to find the basics these days. We are lucky to have this here in small town north Central ar.

Leah Myers

Gross!! Not wasting another dime.. had to wait for 1 hr to get the hibachi grill going because they had to wait for the whole area to get full of customer before they will fire up the grill..Seriously???

Taylar Sanders

Funny staff, amazing food, and I will be coming back.

Nicole Moore

I just called to make a to go order and the man I spoke with tried to tell me I couldn’t order something because they didn’t have it but it’s clearly on the menu. I proceeded to order something else and also asked for yum yum sauce. I couldn’t understand him so I politely asked him to repeat himself. He was very rude with me. He said if I wanted sauce it was an extra $4!!!

Avery Brooks

Very good food and excellent sushi, with a really entertaining show on the hibachi. Definitely have some competition with the new Ninja Steakhouse though.

Phyllis Weaver

I always thought if Yoshi as a more up scales restaurant with decent food. However, this time we order a bento box as I was craving beef teriyaki and the only way to get it was ordering the bento box. I would definitely not recommend the beef teriyaki from there as it tastes like store-bought sauce not homemade and it was horrible. The rest of the dish was just okay. I would not go there again as a food pretty mediocre for the price that they charge.

John Lange

Filthy Food over cooked

Crystal Boyce

Awesome food

Jamie Sisco

Great food fun atmosphere! Some of the best sushi kw

Artsy Silver

The food is great! But the only problem is the waiters. They aren’t very nice. The only reason we go back is because of the food. The sushi is great, especially rocky 2. That’s my favorite. Everything else is fine, it’s just the staff that is kind of rude.

Dylan Black

Awesome hibachi grill, sushi is a bit pricey but good as well. My family will definitely be going back.

Ashley AndBrandon

Dinner and a show at the hibachi grill! Kids love it and the chefs are good at it! Recommend the filet mignon with shrimp and scallops! One of the few places in town to get good scallops!

Carrie Geier

Love the hibachi!

Karen Mullins

Hmmmm steak and rice!

Michael Lake

Went to get fried rice and steak. Asked for him to put the fried rice in a larger container so I didnt have to walk out with 8 small containers completely ignored me had to tell him my order like 8 times when i got the bags they had no lie about 2-3inch of steak juice. But speedy service though

Jeremy Whittingham

Good food, decent price for a Japanese Steakhouse

Emma Hansing

Chicken was ok, but the steak was AMAZING! 10-10 would recommend this place

Mandi Waugh

The food was marvelous! And the grill show was spectacular! Job well done!

Johnathen Thompson

It's great food alittle pricey

Richard Ingalls

Very good teppanyaki (Japanese steak house grill) in the little town of Mt. Home. They do a good job preparing the food. You will pay extra if you want both fried rice and noodles. If you have a family, the value is during lunch time. The sushi is good and prepared fresh. My family loves to dine here.

NAN W

Waiter kept callin us "guys", as in hi guys, ready to order guys. Asked for napkins and got ONE. Had to ask for sauces, no coasters for drinks. Sushi was good, tho

Brooke brookeervin15@yahoo.com

Best sushi in town by far! Staff needs some work.

Jenean Hernandez

The food was good but the chef couldn't have been more rude. We asked him questions and we got dirty looks. Totally no interaction.

Jacob Zappa

Great food but the service can be slow

a pinch of suga with tae and kookie

We used to eat there but the place is to dirty to eat.

Alica Rutherford

Food is always very good, service is prompt and friendly.

Mark Bland

I love this place. I can eat the Bento Box 3 times a week

Haley Beasley

Food is good but the service is horrible.

Chris Cranfill

Great food and a show while it's being cooked.

Sheila Felts

Had a very nice Birthday dinner w jay wolfson. Thank you

Gage Pinn

Always very good and very good srvice/show very pricey though.

kris beard

Have been eating here since it opened and I have to say the overall cleanliness and service has plummeted ! Food is still great but I think the management needs to step up the game on everything else

Savy Vance

Food is ok unless you eat on sushi side then chicken is precooked and rice is microwaved and if a plate gets cold they just microwave the whole thing unless it's steak. They make the servers split their tips with the chefs and I someone they know try to give them a personal gift they still aren't allowed to keep it. The only way you get to keep anything is if your thier asain server or the chef. If someone hands the chef money they don't claim it or split it they pocket it. So let's say the chef is given a 5 and you leave a 5 for the server the chef gets 7.50 and the server gets 2.50. They dont pay the server extra when they dont make minum wage and over claim tips on taxes. They dont evens bother to learn female servers names they just call them girl. They serve tap water that taste like minerals if drank without ice. The soda machine nozzles are never cleaned and the carbonation is way off. If it wasn't for the new dishwashers a lot of things would not be getting properly clean. They are rude and don't care. Food is ok horrible management and horrible place to work.

Shawn Howerton

Enteraining. Good food. Great company

Connie Miles

I was treated by my friend recently. It was my first experience at one of these grills! Our cook was amazing! The food was cooked to perfection and delicious and we both laughed until tears came. I can't wait to return there.

Herd the Nerd

Great food, very entertaining habachi chefs, and good service at a very good price.

D Petty

No bar here, but the food is good and the staff is friendly.

Amber Baker

Only if was closed another day besides Mondays! Mondays are our days off and nothing is open on Mondays in our town so we have to drive out of town if we want to eat somewhere!

Kevin Baker

Meh. Poor poor service.

Wes Campbell

Posted hours for Saturday was til 9:30, arrived at 8:40. We were told We're Closed by Tony. Food is very good, but this is not the first time we've encountered rudeness by the owners.

Kaytlynn McDaniel

My favorite lunch time place!!!!!

Frank Tidwell

Waiter was rude. Wanted to substitute rice for veggies and they wanted more to substitute than the side cost by itself. Seriously when is rice more expensive then the veggies. Didn't even have Coke products there. I wish there was a way to put negative stars because this place deserves it if anyplace ever did. We got up and walked out very unhappy. Fujiyama is much better and has great service.

Brett Stevenson

Food is usually really good. Sushi not bad either. You will come out with a pretty good bill.

Joey Burnett

I’ve visited this restaurant before, and while it wasn’t the best, it was certainly an above average experience; the food was good and the wait staff was decent. However, that was not the case on my most recent (and final) visit. It took about 30 minutes after arriving and being seated to be brought our drinks and place our order. Another 15 minutes passed before the chef came out and began cooking our food. That’s where it went downhill. The chef did not give either myself or my guest the correct order, which we paid extra for. I waited until after it was cooked, and we agreed to just get the check fixed. The waiter then argued when we brought up the issue and disputed that our order was incorrect. The worst part is the chef then corroborated the waiters story to the manager, who said we would pay the up charge whether we liked it or not. Overall, a terrible experience in every part. We will not ever be returning, go to Sakura in Batesville instead.

Kierstin Jones

Great meal. Nice environment. Good experience. Thank you.

Peters Family

Almost always a good experience. Overall it's fun for the family and always friendly. Only 4 stars this time as our food was over seasoned (this is very rare for them) and our chef was kinda boring. He was very quiet and seemed distracted. We frequent this location and would definitely return based off of prior trips. Glad this wasn't our first experience or we may not have returned.

Lou Ann Norris

Food is always great.

Harvey Berg

Always a pleasant dining experience. Great food and great sushi. Highly recommended

Chris Hunsucker

"Dante" was our chef, it was only his fourth day we were told, and he did a great job for us! Outstanding sushi and sashimi, very generous portions and the best noodles and rice I've ever had. Don't wonder, just stop and get satisfied!! Thank you Jamie, Dante, and the rest of the Yoshi crew, can't wait for my next trip!!

Johnny Johnson

Great sushi and good show!!

Kerry Breuer

Our family loved to go to Yoshi's for lunch as it is a bit expensive for a family at dinner time. The food has always been excellent. They have had great turnover as far as cooks and the "show" during cooking has become almost non-existent. The cleanliness of this place is utterly disgusting; it has declined since the restaurant opening. The bathrooms haven't been cleaned since opening it seems. Keep in mind this was a brand new building when Yoshi's moved in. We love the food but will no longer go back because the place is so dirty. The manager needs to look up from his iPad and pick up a broom and rag!

Ray Weathers

The food was great the chef not very impressive and very sweaty

Jason Fraley

No different from any other Japanese steakhouse.

Heather Craig

Yummy food, okay cook

Kemberlee Woods

Great food. Enjoy the show. A little expensive.

Tara

Terrible. Salad was slimy and miso soup is from a cheap powder mix. Their yum yum sauce was a bland runny mayonnaise mixture. The chef strung juice all over the table, plates and drinks when he distributed the food. And he sprayed us with water?!? Never experienced that at a hibachi restaurant before. That was annoying. And the high chairs were all broken and dirty. Skip this place and grab a Big Mac instead. McDonalds is just up the road.

John Cosby

We enjoy eating there twice a month or so. The food is always well done, and the sushi is always fresh. The restaurant is always clean and we'll maintained we do enjoy the staff and they are usually very polite.

Mary G

It was delish! Had the filet and scallops. It was prepared well and the grill chef was really fun. Plum wine is always good!

Benjamin Granowski

Decided to make the trip to Mountain Home for some more restaurant selections on Mother's Day. First things first, we went during the normal lunch hours, however they decided to only make the dinner meals available for that day. We were already on the close to an hour waiting list and decided no big deal, its mothers day, we're here, and a couple extra bucks per plate isn't going to kill us. So after waiting for a half hour I noticed that there were empty tables. I thought to myself maybe they were reserved. Turns out they weren't, in the sushi area you could seat yourself... silly me asking for a waiting time and then not determining on my own that there were two separate lists. Oh well, so things were off to a rocky start but not too bad. Granted we waited 45 minutes for no reason but we had our seats and were ready to have some Japanese cuisine for the first time since we moved out to the mid-west. After sitting down, we were served our drinks relatively fast however practically had to walk into the kitchen to get some napkins and silverware. The service was awful BUT I don't blame the staff, our server was polite, attentive, but utterly overwhelmed. I noticed the management being very lackadaisical on a busy holiday. I believe this also had its effect in the kitchen. You could easily tell each part of the dish was cooked at very different times. Between the three of us we had chicken, steak, scallops, salmon, and shrimp. All of which seemed to take different turns under a heat lamp. The sushi was the only saving grace of the meal, even though it took over an hour to get to us. We wound up paying almost $80 for two adults and one child. The soup, salad were acceptable. The sushi was good. The main course was poorly planned out and parts were inedible. Perhaps the food is better on a day that the staff isn't so rushed by the amount of patrons and the management can afford to move at such a pace. I doubt I would go back but if I did it would only be for sushi, on a weekday, excluding Fridays.

Scott Davis

It's like heaven!

Pam Berg

We loved the food and the service was fantastic!

Joy Reich

Where do I begin. When we arrived our waiter was quite personal and actually nosy. My husband had got a phone call from a family member regarding a family emergency. The waiter didn't seem to understand that we could talk and order at that moment. I inquired if the steak was Teriyaki he said that it was. Actually it was not at all. It was actually quite bland and didn't have much flavor. The thing I have to say that upset me the most was an empliyee walking around the dining room bussing tables and chatting to customer vaping and blowing smoke everywhere. Really not OK in my book.

Black Ark Studios

Allways good

Robert King

I love places like these. This one has great food too! They used to be pretty popular but lately they seem to be dead all the time which means there is often times a wait for the hibachi during lunch. Not ide but manageable, and not why I gave it a 4 star. I have a theory that the reason no one comes here is the atmosphere or aura. The staff are nice the tables clean and decor not bad so I don't mean any of that. What I mean is some of the, what appear to be managers or owners bring a sense of dread to the place. They just seem upset or mad all the time. It doesn't seem to bother the staff however. I recommend the sushi and seafood here. It's as fresh as it can be in this landlocked state.

DesRayRay Tbo

We took my husband here for his birthday, he likes it there. I was too sick to really enjoy it, but from what I could taste, the food was good. They were having an off day with their sushi, but from what I understand, that isn't normal from them. Our waiter was nice, the chef was entertaining, but mildly inappropriate with his humor. We enjoyed it.

Willow Poynter

So fun and delicious! I eat here all the time. Great quality food, clean place, funny staff. Lunch specials are great.

Terrie Nelson

Fair

Shannon Young

I enjoyed the hibachi guy! But they were kinda skimpy on the shrimp and beef

Jeffery Hurst

Sushi is good and a great show

Sara Mellard

Food is great; entertaining. Will return.

David Bushong

Love the sushi

Terry Huber

Fantastic!

Kevin Sanders

It's moderate in price and food is fair.

Cara Leverett

So-so on food and service

Michael Church

They closed and re opened with a new name. Avoid this place. Blossom cafe is the dish.

Georgia Gubbels

Yoshi is a delightful experience when I'm visiting in Mountain Home AR and highly recommend it!

Tracy Meal

Great food, great service.

Cayla Blanchard

Great friendly service, hibachi guy does a great show, and food is pretty good!

Cathy Starkey

We love going and having our food cooked right in front of us.. The atmosphere!!! Not to mention the food taste great

Tim M

Tried the habachi grill, was good

Kyhle Desmedt

I would bring my WHOLE family to eat! VERY tasty food!

Melanie Vincent

This place has really gone downhill. Waiter (tall guy with a beard)had a snarky attitude, food was barely mediocre. Won't be back.

Jim Hurst Jr

The price was about $10 a person, but the food was delicious and the cook puts on a show as he cooks your meal. Well worth visiting!!!

Tiffany Hadley

My husband and I eat here very frequently and we drive 45 mins JUST to go here because this place is his absolute favorite hibatchi dine in. He travels and eats many hibatchi grills but still says this one is top of all. His food of choice is always hibatchi steak we both like it very much. Good servicing always. Great food. Great cooks. GREAT sushi. LOVE the Arkansas roll best ever!!

Katrina Worth

Great food.

Randy Prowett

Good food, great Sushi,very dry personality staff

Kay Harber

We had a great server, but our chef should be fired. Absolutely no personality! A good chef really enhances the experience.

Carmen Miller

Good food great atmosphere

jim brown

Good food. The chief wasn't as lively as some but he did a fine job.

Alvin Butler

Best Japanese food in the area

Kasie Linville

Good food

Lee Bedore

Very good food with very good friends....fun time!

Billy Johnson

AppArently they don't need business, won't be back, will drive to Springfield.

Mahal Burr

I was told they had good sushi but the waiter at the front is so rude, I can’t enjoy being here. The man at the front was watching a video when we came in on his phone and asked us what we wanted. He then missed what we said because he was watching the phone and then got frustrated. We decided to order to go and when paying I gave him an American Express card first. He threw it down and said we don’t accept that. I think he’s just having a bad day but... He definitely should know he’s passing along that bad energy. I haven’t eaten the food yet, so I have no idea about that, but I can say that the service I receive is the worst I’ve ever had.

Angela Powell

Food is acceptable, service is hit or miss, and often very slow.

DouglasNPaula Carter

Delicious food, great ambience, great service, excellent prices.

Amber Gelsinger

Very good!

Sherri Baldridge

Service gets slower and more sloppy each time we go... very long wait time in either section ... low atmosphere due to attitudes all the way around. From owner, to staff to customers.. Food is good. Prices are competitive with Little Tokyo in Harrison and others.

Nicolai Kashpureff

Great food, great service, the chef was very funny and entertaining.

Danielle M

Me and my husband went to yoshi's last night for the first time let me just say it takes alot to impress us and wow we were very impressed the food the cook the hibachi grilling was amazing the waiter was very focus on making sure we had everything we need. We will be going there again all the food was delicious!

Marjorie Victors

Insider information. There's ben an opossum loose in in the restaurant for three days. They serve "vegetarian" food with teriyaki which has beef both. One of them smokes in the kitchen. They will serve you shrimp that has been left out all night. The clear soup is basically soy sauce and water. If you "substitute" something on a plate, they just charge you to add it. Not take some away for subtracting. The only thing worth buying is the lobster dinner. They lose money on that.

Cheri Nease

Went for sushi, it was terribly disappointing! The eel roll was the only thing we even finished.

Sandy Morgan

Amazing food. Great service. Will definitely be back.

pamela westerman

Yummy. Good sushi.

Valley Eastwood

Food was great, and I had some to take home!!

Angela McIntire

Service was lacking. Waitress and waiters were playing with their phone's rather than tending to customers. Not kid friendly. No changing tables in restrooms. Waitress was very difficult to communicate with. I asked for a side order of plain noodles without sauce and was given the opposite. When I asked she claimed it wasnt "possible" to give me noodles without the sauce....that makes zero sense. She only came by the table one time at the end to give us our checks. Food was okay but would not recommend this place to anyone.

Randy Lancaster

Great food! Friendly service!

Pam Barger

Very tasty!

Steven Harber

I always enjoy eating here. Nice environment, friendly staff and terrific food.

Blain Forgey

Salad was NASTY, steak was way over cooked with absolutely no flavor. Soup and sushi was the only thing I could even eat. I ended up going to McDonald's for a big mac.

Ashley Phillips

Absolutely the worst customer service I have experienced in my life. I ordered a to go hibachi chicken and shrimp and received maybe 3-4 pieces of vegetables and 4 tiny shrimp with a small amount of chicken and rice. The man who runs the place lies and acts like he doesn't understand what you are saying when he doesnt want to answer your questions. When asked about getting the white sauce to go he says theres no sauce to go. We had to bribe him with money to be able to get a tiny cup of sauce to go and he still acted like he didnt know what we were talking about. Not usually someone to complain, but the service was just horrendous. Also likes to make up their own hours. On the sign it says they are open till 9pm. We went after work at 0815 and they would not seat us and said that they closed at 0830 for winter hours which is complete bs.

Dean Petty

Yoshis is the place to go for hibachi. Their noodles and rice is always the best. I go after work pretty often and rarely wait to get seated for the food prep to begin. It has all the classic staples of a hibachi restraunt, very fun cooks and they do some tricks I haven't seen before. They also have a quick side if you don't want the show. Food is excellent, everyone wants more of that yummy yummy sauce!

Brandt Marks

Usually food is great, today though, the chicken was so bad I had to send it back. It tasted as if you were to eat it, it would make you physically ill. I took one bite and had to spit it in my napkin. It tasted old, hard, and freezer burnt. The sushi was alright.

Chris Havner

Good food, great staff, and awesome managment

Kyndale Yancey

Horrible service. Waiter was rude from the moment we walked in. When asked about an item on the menu, his responce was, "I don't know, I'm not the cook" not a great way to start things. Also, we asked for clean forks, because the 1st set was spotty/dirty, he brought back the same forks we sent back. Finally asked anther waiter to bring us clean forks. Our waiter never refilled our drinks. When we finally got the check he practically threw the ticket on the table, no the edge of the table because it fell on the flood. All he said was, "my apologies" and walked ff without picking it up. The food was not great either. Especially from the almost $30 I spent on fried rice and a sushi roll. Not only will I never go back to this Resturant, but I wouldn't recommend this business to anyone.

Ernie Doiron

Great food!

Renata Williams

First time going, and we had a good time with friends. Food was awesome and so was the chef, will be going again soon.

Herschel Cox

My friends and I occasionally have lunch here. The food is usually very good, but does tend to be better on the hibachi grill rather than the normal tables. Not sure why but it doesn't taste as fresh when it's made in the back. They have a bento box that includes a variety of things if you're unsure of what to get, and most things come with miso soup and salad. The price is also alright, especially for lunch, and nowhere near as bad as hibachi in other areas. I would still suggest it if you like hibachi as it is good food, but preferably go when you have time to sit at the grill.

Kerri McHayle

Delicious Sushi.
