FILTHY, RUDE STAFF. Pleeeez!!!! Don't give me this crap about how in order to produce great food you must employ surly employes who never manage to clean the place! I have eaten in sushi restaurants everywhere (incl. JAPAN regularly -- I am an intl. flight attendant) and they somehow manage to do it. I'd sure be interested to know why this place is exempt? When you hugging the toilet you could care less about how it tasted..............  View Less View More

The Best Quality Sushi In Oregon State. Yellowtuna gives an unfair review. This person is a born-again princess who just doesn't get it. Saying yoko's has a bad reputation is rediculous, unless it's among fools. The quality of yoko's sushi is the best in the state of Oregon by far! Yoko's in Portland is funky and small by design, fitting into the area itself. The emphasis is on the food itself. The one in Bend is more elegant. I could understand how lesser experienced diners wouldnt get it, Like a barrio taqueria being among the best, yoko's is exceptionally high-quality sushi tho the dining room itself leaves much to be desired and would distract inexperienced sushi goers.  View Less View More

Worst service and smelliest atmosphere in Portland. If you are looking for cold service and a negative vibe this is the place. If the crack smokin' waitress tries to charge you too much.. that's just protocol. This place has a horrible rotten odor as you walk in the door, looks like sushi has been deep rubbed into the carpet then never cleaned. The sushi was just average, and way overpriced, especially considering what you have to put up with to eat there. I expected more. I will never go back, there are so many good sushi bars in Portland it would be stupid to go back.  View Less View More

Yoko's. Have always loved the food, consistently great, but last visit there was treated really coldly by our server, guess cause we had a large group and asked if our table was ready 2x in the two hours we waited. I do understand large groups there are hard, it's a small place. The bad part was that she added gratuity and never told us or wrote it on the check. I've been a server for many years and that's just not cool. giving us poor, slow and rude service, and not telling us she added tip, I'll go back, but I don't think my friends will.  View Less View More

Bad reputation is justified. Horrible service.. Maybe they have great sushi, I'll never know because I'm not going to put up with being treated like crap long enough to find out. Look, I'm a server...have been a long time and I know it sucks sometimes, but if you can't handle it, go find a desk job. Expecting a server to be polite and helpful is NOT unreasonable as so many other reviewers have suggested. IT'S THEIR JOB. If you are in a tipped industry THAT IS HOW YOU EARN A TIP. I don't treat MY customers like sh*t and expect them to reward me for it or become a return customer. I have never been rude to a waiter in my life and I am very forgiving of a server that seems stressed and ready for the end of his/her shift...I've been there! The staff at Yoko's just come off as dicks who want to let you know you are in THEIR house and playing by THEIR rules. No thanks.

Note to Yoko's: If you advertise that you do Take Out, then don't tell people you aren't doing Take Out whenever you just don't feel like it.

We left and went to Bara's and had pretty much the nicest server ever and a great dinner. I'm sure Yoko is a lovely, talented business owner who just unfortunately has some rotten apples in her staff.  View Less
