Yoshino Sushi - San Gabriel

I called Yoshino Sushi, and asked about the Sushi Buffet lunch and it was $19.95. With that OK being skeptical I went as it is 2 miles distant. and could also leave. Also a few reviews on Yelp which I think the 2 star reviews had a Long term wedgie while at Yoshino to leave review for a place with great food, ambiance, good service, dishes picked up pronto and no moans about the quantity of what I ate! NOW if your the TYPE with Bistro Mind set, and like rip off prices and uppity attitude at uptight Bistro Elmer Dills listed joints then quality, value, good taste, interesting combinations, and all you can eat is just not for you with that said As I have been ripped off at two local Yelp good rated local Japanese Sushi joints in past month or so, then personally I do not have believability with many yelp reviewers! I tell it as it is period! I walked into A Sushi binge waiting to happen! I did not see Buffet trays! Gulp then I was greeted at door, and asked if I wanted menu order or buffet so Buffet blurted out so next was table or would you prefer bar, and to this I said Sushi Bar. I was one of two customers at 1:30PM, and tow more came in while I was there. Why so few people?, as most in immediate area is all some kinda Chinese or Viet Names food house! We even have Pho 69 !!! The Ambiance is quite nice, very clean, heath rating “A”, and air conditioning perfect on a hot day. The waiter who seated me tried to explain Buffet order off actually the Sushi Menu. SO: 12 Appetizers to choose plus like 65 different SUSHI assortments! Knock yourself out! So I had: 2 orders of Yellow tail Albacore Smelt Egg rolls Freshwater eel Miso Sesame Chicken Sashami Tempura Roll Dynamite Lobster Roll Rainbow Roll Gold Caterpillar Roll and Green tea Ice Cream Full! You can view pictures, including final bill! The blending of the rolls, is quite different. My Favorite was the Sashimi Tempura roll this is a 5 rating, and unbelievable!!! So Good! The Seasame Chicken: 4 and good! The Yellow tail, albacore, eel, came laid out over a rice mound good . – fresh quite OK but not cut Sashami thick! Sashami is not on Buffet Lunch………. Miso bland… In the last Japanese Sushi Joint I was at 2 pieces of Salmon Egg Uni rolls cast $4.50, and really tasted like something I would fish for trout with! The Smelt Egg Sushi here, 2 pieces, was good! So, if you look at all I ate, and the visual, smell, taste, quality and amounts!!!!! for $19.95 Such a Deal! Still over 50 items to go…. I threw in the chop sticks, downed digestive enzymes, and paid! I will be back, and dinner is $21.95 all you can eat Sushi! Think these lame organizers of meet up ought to find deal like this, then foot massage following desert at one of the local next door shaved or milk tea houses! In the same Building – is a Quality Massage Place as I walked in checked it out, as I have been having $15 foot and body massages for close to 2 years now and this is a very nice clean place! Across the street is L H massage if a large group goes or you really want deep body massage and have some foot walking!!! My ratings: Food: 4 Ambiance: 4 Clean: 4 Service: 3.33 Taste of some dishes: 4.5 So, there is lots of parking in private lot. OVerall Value: 4.5 Enjoy!
