Reviews for Yojimbo in Alameda, CA
Best sushi to be had on the island. Service is always top shelf, food is ultra fresh and you get to dine amongst a superb... collection of Japanese action figures. 11/10 would stop for lunch here again on my way back from KOAK Read more
The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Miso Ramen, Spicy Ramen, Edamame, and side of White Rice. The miso ramen was... the best ramen I have had in a really long time. Definitely recommend trying! They said that the large is really large so we gotthe regular sized bowl of ramen. Huge portion of edamame. We had to take the rest home. The service was great. Everyone in thereis really nice and helpful. If you love anime they had lots of art from studio Ghibli and other movies/show. They were evenplaying Spirited Away on the tv. Read more

Update: Yojimbo has opened a new branch just a few steps away from its original. 2139 Santa Clara Ave, former space of... American Oak. Check it out!!! ****************£ We certainly love going to this place! Yojimbo is one of our favorite ramenand Japanese food restaurants around the Bay Area! We have been coming here for several years and have invited friends. All ofthe people we invited to eat here were very impressed and others kept coming back, some drove from Vallejo and Fremont. Ourfrequent visits was stopped due to the pandemic, in that two years of pause my wife managed to be nearby and got me some ramento-go but as best as it was packaged, we know that ramen is best eaten right away after serving. Well, we visited last week andwe came back yesterday to make up for lost time! haha The ramen is still as good as we remembered it, the only change is thatit now comes in two sizes, regular and large. It used to be just one size which was LARGE and you needed to use a big soupspoon. We used to have more than enough for two meals. On both recent visits, we ordered the regular size which is still agenerous portion. The broth is delicious, noodles are nice, the chasu is delicious also. People who come here regularly willagree that they are consistent with the taste and good quality of the ramen. Wait, there's more! For non-ramen lovers, thereis also quite good selections of japanese dishes and as others have complimented, it is fresh! I rarely order sushi here becauseI usually come for ramen, but when I do, it has always been fresh! There are also a good selection of appetizers to enjoy. Itried the pork bun last week and it was very good! I wanted to try the spicy tuna bun yesterday, but it was out. Oh well, morereasons for my wife and I to go back next week .. hehe. Lastly, as shown on my photos, Yojimbo has some very cool Japaneseanime inspired art work throughout the place drawn by the owner himself! There are also some action Read more
The food here is so good, and it was quiet when we went, so the service was nice and fast. Fish all tasted fresh and delicious,... served at the perfect temperature. Decent miso soup. Super impressed with the generous portion and beautiful presentation of thechirashi ???? we also got a great dragon roll, so good! There were also cute anime art, figures, etc. displayed around therestaurant for a nice cohesive theme. Very welcoming atmosphere and great food. Read more
What a beautiful experience. We definitely loved the ambient, the authentic Japanese interior design. We ordered some sushi... rolls and they were very delicious, also veggie curry and it was huge. We will come back here again. I wished they had moreoptions for drinks, besides sodas. Read more
