I love the inside aesthetic. The lighting feels just right. Perfect for a date, meal with friends, or any kind of meeting. The waiter we had was one of calmest and kindest waiters I've ever had, and that pushed my experience above and beyond. The food was amazing and on point. My only complaint would be the spring rolls, maybe the egg rolls too. A puffy cheeto makes it feel embarrassed. Overall it was an amazing restaurant. Especially for the area.

Waitress was nice, most of the food was subpar. Sushi was good, that's about the only good thing. Got the dumplings they were ok. I got the Ramen and it just didn't taste right to me, smelled good and looked amazing but just not for me. My friend got chicken and rice with zucchini, I wasn't impressed, she liked but also didn't take the leftovers home. I always do, no matter what it is if I liked it but definitely not this time

Food is good! Rice was a bit bland; I had to use soy sauce on it for the first time in years. Location is a bit hidden but I would recommend!

Well we desired to try a new place for sushi. Well we ordered a Philly roll and a spicy tuna roll. I’m really not sure what we got. But wow. To start the rice was stale the rice paper was chewy and well the tuna was one of the mushiest non flavoring with no cucumber the roll was loose fallling apart the salmon had no flavor the avocado was old cream cheese was warm and the roll was loose as hell. The wasabi was old and stale and the ginger didn’t look much better. We both got to about our second roll and I canceled the rest of our meal. Deff won’t be going back first time there and will be the last. Sad to say

Food wasn’t amazing but it wasn’t bad! Do not recommend the crunchy crab roll, it was very bland as well as the egg fried rice. Probably the worst thing i have tried here. It was just super bland and flavorless. Staff are super kind

I really wanted to give Yuyo 5 stars because the atmosphere and the service is really nice but the food just wasn't there. It wasn't bad, I ate everything but even in Lubbock I have eaten much better Japanese food. I might be back and try again, I hope it was only a bad day.

Have been several times with a family of five. Food and service have been on point every time. Everyone loves it here, Wife and kids picky eaters but big fan of the Bento box. I get sushi. Highly recommend.

Food is usually good but the first person eating will always be done before the last is served. The service is always terrible. If they remember your refill it’s usually as you’re getting your ticket.Kid-friendliness: Our 9 year old was the last to get his food in a party of five. Last time it was one of the ladies and the delay is usually extensive between first and last served.

While a little quiet, the place has charm, and the food is always delicious. I personally think that the quiet atmosphere adds to my experience.

Not a place to expect fast food, but definitely good food. Nice quiet atmosphere. Good portions and not overly expensive. The plum sauce is amazing. Dragon balls were good but could use a touch more spicy mayo. Yum.Vegetarian options: Veggie hibachi and tempura options!
