Yokohama Japanese Restaurant in Brookline

Absolutely delicious. A hidden gem. The only people working there are an elderly asian couple, so if you go there a meal can take kind of a long time if you have a large group of people. My favorite food there is the bento boxes with teriyaki beef. the sauce is SO GOOD!!!!

Best authentic sushi ive had. ever. I don't need to write more. Just go!

An older Japanese husband and wife run this restaurant and they're very friendly.The sushi and cooked foods are all excellent. My family and I have tried most of the items on the menu.The sushi deluxe meal is great, as is the teriyaki salmon dinner.Appetizers like tako-su (octopus with cucumbers and seaweed in vinegar) are not served at every sushi place in the area and so a treat as well.And, if you go enough times, the sushi chef remembers what you don't like, and will not include it in your meal (for example, I'm not the biggest fan of egg, and so he will not put the egg sushi in my meal).

Love the homey vibe. Inside is not that big, but very cute and authentic (Japanese goods for sale). Food is great as well. The owners are very cute and seem to enjoy what they do. Don't expect the typical restaurant waiter though who is there every 5 seconds to fill your water - the place feels more like you're over at your grandma's for dinner.

Very nice atmosphere, sushi is very well priced and well made. Note that the rolls are on the thicker side, in terms of rice and fillings, so be careful about ordering too many.

Not the best experience, the place is super dirty specially the walls and the carpet omg horror story! I couldn’t eat there to be honest

Incredible, with authentic sushi and Japanese style!

Easily the worst sushi experience I've ever had. It's safe to assume the salmon came from a can and the sashimi was the most lazy assembly ever. The beef in the lunch box was also of questionable origin or else just really low quality beef. Won't ever, ever return.

Great sushi and friendly atmosphere

excellent the "caterpillar"

Favorite restaurant in brookline

Never found a better sushi place, been going here all my life.

Amazing food! Love the lady!! So cool!

Very awesome restaurant! Cozy atmosphere serving authentic Japanese cuisine. Run by an adorable Japanese couple. Their Unagi Don is the best I have ever had in Boston.

Their service make you feel uncomfortable. They won't let you take the table near the window, even neither reservation for the table or few people in the restaurant. They don't serve food according which table order earlier. I don't figure out their rule even I have been there several times. But the food is good and the prices are reasonable.

By far my favorite Japanese place in the area. Not only is the food delicious, but it's run by the sweetest old lady.

My wife love the sushi

Great quality food and cute family run vibe!

Authentic, great rice, cozy place, good quality sushi…oh and an amazing price

This place is run by a Japanese lady and her husband (he's the cook), so they only open during selective hours, and might take a long time serving you if you're sitting down. I usually order on the phone before I go there. Their salad is amazing! The teriyaki lunch boxes are great too

Really simple, fresh tasting rolls - great lunch pricing too

Very good service and nice people 😁

The old couple that runs Yokohama are really really sweet. They food was terrific and the atmosphere was really comfortable. I would definitely come here again~!

The have awesome miso soup with generous chunks of tofu. The sushi soft and melts in your mouth. And the lady who runs it is now selling her beautiful pottery that she handthrows on her potter's wheel and beautiful glazework. I left with a full stomach, a bowl and a mug. This place is a great mom and pop shop, please try it!

A very friendly husband and wife run this delicious neighborhood Japanese restaurant. The Sansai Udon is great, with a delicate broth and a fresh vegetal flavor.

The place has a loving informal atmosphere, almost like you are a guest in a home rather than a customer. The owners and sole employees are the chef Jun and his wife, an older couple from Japan. Their back an fourth conversations are comforting while sipping tea and taking in the atmosphere. Food prep can be variable, but is always worth it. The sashimi lunch boxes are a major fav for me; miso soup, some of the best dressed salad imaginable, a bit of rice, an assortment of sashimi, and two slices of orange, all for under $10. The lunch soups are also amazing, and incredibly affordable. If you're tired of the same old Japanese restaurants from production line Wagamama to Chinese owned Americanised Japanese food, this is an excellent place to go.

Would rather not let the secret out ... not fancy but great food and very reasonable prices.

The most authentic Japanese restaurant in Boston area as far as I know. Everything here is recommended. The owners are a couple and they are super nice. They always provide high quality food, clean and fresh. Sushi here is simply beautiful.

This place needs a really good clean.

Awesome sushi. Best place ever

Genuine, cozy place run by a friendly Japanese lady and a Japanese chef behind the counter. Food was delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. Sashimi appetizer had several varieties of fish and was fresh. Tako-su was super! A great find in this neighbourhood and will definitely be coming back again!
