Found this little hidden gem on our way out of Prov on a Sunday afternoon.Ordered: Yoo Roll (45), Volcano Roll (13), & Rainbow Roll (11) also the Thai Ice TeaThe sushi was SO delicious and fresh and the presentation was beautiful. Tea was also good.Atmosphere is so simple & quiet, a relaxing place to wait for your sushi.I can see this place is busy with online/phone orders and door dash, the inside service was a bit slow, (hence the 4 stars) but once we got that delicious platter we forgot about the wait. It was worth the wait

Bad neighborhood and not great ambiance or service BUT the food is worth the drive and the wait and the bad parking. Delicious cuisine. Ak47 monster roll and Godzilla are intensely delicious. This place survived Covid and I am happy they did. The biggest portion of sushi and fish to rice ratio is great. Large pieces of fish and it's never fishy or bad tasting.

I've ordered their sushi through doordash, and for pickup and it's been excellent everytime. The staff is super kind and helpful. This sushi spot is a little bit of a hidden gem, the outside doesn't look like much, but inside is very humble and quaint. Definitely going to make this one of my regular sushi spots.

Well, they've done it. Earned 5 stars! My last 2 orders, they hit it out of the park. EVERYTHING was amazing. I wrote a really long detailed review but it exceeded the character limit so here's a shortened version with bullet points. *The salmon nigiri and sashimi were the BEST I'VE EVER HAD. And I've had a lot. No exaggeration. It was melt in your mouth amazing with a texture like otoro (fatty tuna belly) and the taste was perfection as well and it was fresh as could possibly be. Zero fishy smell/taste which can be an issue with salmon. Seriously I have never had salmon this good and I am addicted to it now. I ordered more the next day immediately. If I was rich, I'd live off this stuff and order it every single day. It is seriously that good. Mind blowingly good. My only tiny critique with the sashimi version is I just wish they cut it into several thin slices. Instead, you get one big block of delicious, melt in your mouth buttery tender salmon. Their tuna sashimi was the same so I guess this is a stylistic choice. I ended up just cutting it myself, but I definitely didn't do anywhere as good of a job as a sushi chef would. It's not a huge deal and it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the salmon, but it would just be nice to have it cut the same way the nigiri is. It would be more of an issue with a less tender fish than the salmon too. *salmon tartare-the tuna tartare was already one of my absolute top favorite dishes here and the salmon tartare is the same except even better because it has that orgasmic salmon! *white tuna nigiri-delicious, buttery, tender, almost as much as the salmon. I believe it is probably escolar (usually that's what white tuna means) which would explain the nice fatty buttery texture. Will definitely order this again and prefer it to the maguro *orange tobiko sushi-finally the tobiko I wanted! I thought all tobiko was the same, silly me. The orange tobiko is noticeably smaller than the black or green, and also much sweet, more delicate, and less briny. I thought their black and green tobiko weren't up to par on freshness but I was so wrong, it was just a different variety than what I was used to and looking for. The orange tobiko is perfection and was totally delicious. *eel (unagi) nigiri-most tender eel I've ever had! Melted in my mouth, no graininess as some eel can have. The eel sauce was just right too, not too sweet, and not too much of it, but just enough. *tom yum goong-absolutely delicious!! My first time trying a tom yum soup but it certainly won't be my last. They were pretty generous with the seafood in it given the price, and as always, the seafood was top notch. Big, fresh, juicy shrimp and fresh, ultra tender clams. The broth itself was also beyond delicious and just the right level of spicy (though personally if they had an extra spicy version I would definitely be interested in trying that too!). Now that I know how to order from here, I just have to give them 5 stars. I would advise to stay away from the fried food and fusion rolls, and stick to the more traditional raw fish and seafood based dishes. That is where they excel and I'm honestly so glad because there's way too much fusion/westernized cuisine here and not nearly enough authentic. I'm sick of complicated rolls, I just want fresh, quality sashimi and nigiri where the fish/seafood is the star and I can actually taste it, and Yoo sushi delivers! Yoo sushi-you have become my favorite sushi place to order from in providence! I can't wait to try more!

No consideration or care, plus I got jipped. 3 pieces is considered a full roll now? Never again. Now the food... bland. The sushi rice barely had any flavor. The half of the Chicken Tempura Chicken Roll I was given, but paid full price for, had no seasoning. The chicken needed salt and the avocado did not taste like avocado. The tempura tasted like old grease. Maybe the good flavor was left in the other half of the roll that's still at the restaurant ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My husband didn't even finish his Yellowtail Jalapeño roll or his Shrimp Tempura. Like I said, never again. I should've gone to the mall food court for sushi, smh.

A big miss here. I ordered three very easy to make standard rolls (spicy tuna crunch, shrimp tempura , and Philly) as I thought it best to play it safe with a new place. I ended up having to get a separate meal from my hotel because I couldn't finish this. The Philly roll was 50% cucumber, 40% cream cheese, and 10% fish. The shrimp tempura was the best of the group, but it had no flavor. The spicy tuna crunch was neither spicy or crunchy; I hope it was at least tuna. It had almost no rice on it and had no flavor at all. Definitely avoid this place.

The absolute best sushi place around! I get this delivered and it always gets to my house very quick. Their 2 roll lunch special is my go to. Their kani salad is also amazing!! The best kani salad I've had ever

Git delivery. If you enjoy sushi, do not eat here. The rice is so thick, it’s like paste. The fish is average. But good lord, the rice, it’s crazy how gluey and thick it is. Just don’t eat here. As someone who has eaten sushi all over the world including Japan: do not eat here.
