About Yokomi Sushi & Korean BBQ

Located on the L.G. Smith Boulevard side of the Renaissance Marketplace complex, Yokomi has both indoor and outside seating with a relaxed marketplace atmosphere. Closed Mondays. Open until 10pm most nights. Solid menu translation — staff comfortable explaining items and recommending pairings. Vegetarian and gluten-free sushi options well-marked. Takeaway and delivery available. Reservations not typically needed but welcomed for groups.

Menu Highlights & What to Order

On the sushi side: tropical roll, poi-poi fried rolls, shrimp fried rolls, and the dessert sushi (chocolate-strawberry combo) are the standouts. The Korean BBQ menu shines with ribeye and bulgogi — quality cuts, generous portions, fresh and well-seasoned. Tuna rice with jalapeño and eel sauce is a chef-recommended favorite. Pear sake is a popular cocktail-list pick. The ‘PoiPoi’ sushi rolls and the spring rolls shouldn’t be missed.
