Bar Yoshi Nantucket Reviews
Food is great.
Staff is friendly. Nice ambience!! Come here every time we're in Nantucket
This isn't your average sushi restaurant.
Bar Yoshi has some seriously high quality ingredients, preparation is next level, and the outdoor seating area is so relaxing (and great for people watching). Service is generally attentive although not the best I experienced on the island. Definitely worth the price and I would come here over Cru for great seafood all day long.
Another gem on the island that has reviews that I don't
Another gem on the island that has reviews that I don't quite understand! Everything we ordered here was perfect. We started with the scallion pancake with salmon and the shrimp Shumai. Both were special in their own ways and were very good. We then got the ichiban, California and dynamite roll. My personal fav was the ichiban. The fish was fresh and was presented perfectly. The amount we ordered was great for two people and will forever be a staple when visiting. Service was quick and ambiance was pretty being outside! Definitely recommend for some yum sushi!
Never again.
Went today at 1:30. Solo. Went to the bar where there were 4 places, only holds about 10. Was going to order to go for myself as I was on a mooring working. Was told by the bartender she couldn't do that. I said Ok I'll eat at the bar. 5-7 minutes later she took my drink order but followed up by saying that they are backed up if your ordering sushi. The thing is....i wasn't ordering sushi. I left while she explained it to other customers at the bar. I wouldn't go to this place if it had the best sushi or anything anymore. Went two weeks ago. Spent 125 for myself on takeout. Forget this place.

AMBIENCE 5 SERVICE 5 FOOD 5 This island gem & (its sister O Bar) never disappoints. Doesn't matter if we are seated inside or out, sunshine or clouds. Bar Yoshi is always a grand idea!
I had the most amazing experience at Bar Yoshi last week.
The drinks, the service, the atmosphere were all incredible but the STAR of the show was their manager, Andressa. Upon arriving, she was beyond welcoming, checked in on us a few times to ensure that our drinks and food came out to our liking. Also - their espresso martini is hands down the best on the island and 10/10 Instagram perfect. Thank you Andressa for an unforgettable experience!
What began as a lovely evening quickly turned into one of
What began as a lovely evening quickly turned into one of the most unsettling restaurant experiences I've had. My friend and I came in hoping for a quiet night of good food and drinks--and at first, it was exactly that. The bartender/waiter serving us was warm, attentive, and genuinely brought joy to our table and those around us. With barely anyone else in the restaurant, his energy helped fill the space in the best way possible. Unfortunately, the evening took a very upsetting turn. The owner, Terry, suddenly walked in and publicly reprimanded this kind and professional server--right in front of us and other guests--for reasons that were baffling. He claimed the waiter wasn't doing his job, when in fact he was doing it beautifully. The tone Terry used was aggressive and humiliating. He went as far as sitting the server down outside and berating him to the point of tears. It was deeply uncomfortable to witness, and frankly, unacceptable. No one deserves to be treated that way--especially not in front of customers while doing their job well. We were so disturbed by the interaction that we looked up the owner afterward and were not surprised to find a trail of lawsuits and troubling reviews that reflect a pattern of unprofessional conduct. We won't be returning--not because of the food or the atmosphere, but because of the way this manager chooses to treat his staff. If you value respect and human decency, you may want to think twice
Enjoyed dinner with the fam at Bar Yoshi.
The shishito peppers are a must if they are available. Perfectly blistered and seasoned. Edamame app is a healthy serving and a toddler favorite the sushi rolls were fresh and also toddler approved. Service was very good. Server was attentive and Pleasant. Would visit again.
Reservation only possible for US citizens
Reservations from non-US citizens are not accepted - is that really still the case these days? I've never really experienced anything like it. On Nantucket a no go.
Worst dinner experience on Nantucket.
Measly, yet incredibly expensive, bland sushi rolls. The sliced fish was paper thin and translucent. Do not get the rainbow roll, it was absolutely pathetic. And $30. But what made the dinner 1-star (zero stars) was the terrible service we received at the bar. The bartender was rude, aloof, inattentive and dismissive of our concerns. Want some water? Expect an eye roll. She absolutely should not be in a customer service profession. Will not return and forewarn others who are considering going. The ambience and cocktails were fine.
Someone already mentioned about the sushi being worse than
Someone already mentioned about the sushi being worse than supermarket sushi- the fish and hard rice were lukewarm! The U8 shrimp at $8 each were the absolute worst seafood we've had anywhere! They were tough, smelled old, and were very unappetizing! Another star knocked off for the unfriendly host.
First of all this is for management to consider.
Ambiance and service was fantastic. I'm sure the chefs are great as well. But whomever thinks the sushi and the sushi portion's are acceptable need to reconsider the head chef position. I have had better sushi at the local supermarket takeout. They could have just purchased takeout sushi and put it on a plate. They also sell sashimi, in 3 slices. Three slices? Who does 3 slices unless it's part of shrinkflation? And each sushi roll barely has any actual raw sushi in it that you need to really look hard to find it. Our group comes from California so maybe this is just the Nantucket over priced experience. My recommendation is the skip anything raw and go for the rest as all the other food was terrific. Skip the sushi.
Slow unorganized service. Ridiculous prices.
Last year this was great. This year, Slowest, worst service - and very expensive meal. Food was great. Small portions. 1st entree came out. Second entree 10 minutes later. Last two entrees 20 minutes after that with no explanation from the server until we sought her out. Claimed the sushi line was slow but we didnt order sushi. Not going back!
This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants on the
This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants on the island. I have never (not in four years) had a less than stellar meal here. The presentation and food = outstanding, but what really makes the place special = the staff. Attentive and knowledgeable, they will make you feel like you are the only table they are tending to. Two standouts are Vlad (request him!) and Amanda. Wow! We ate there twice during a four-night stay and both meals were exceptional. Amanda and Vlad contributed to such a great experience. We also tacked on a few drinks at the bar and an appetizer when we arrived. Bartenders are some of the best on the island. I love this place and we know good food coming from the DC restaurant scene. Make a reservation when on island. You will not regret it!

My fiancee and I came here for her 30th birthday and were treated to fantastic sushi and drinks. We enjoyed the laid back and friendly service and would definitely recommend a meal here to anyone visiting Nantucket - we will be back :)
Food is delicious; bartender is awesome; front of the house
Food is delicious; bartender is awesome; front of the house is arrogant and very attitudinal: we attempted to make a reservation via Resy which kept sending us error messages; when we attempted to call we were given a number to text so we texted and also left a voicemail neither of which was answered. When we showed up there was a lot of posturing and we were told only the bar was available even though there were seven (!) tables empty which remained empty the entire time we were there.
I would go back to this place every night if I could for
I would go back to this place every night if I could for the smoked salmon app, haha! such a fun restaurant, great outdoor/indoor vibe, and ALL of the food was phenomenal. don't miss the smoked salmon app and the dumplings! Will definitely be back on our next trip :)

Wow. What an amazing meal and amazing ambiance! Outdoor seating is the way to go at this place. The food was fantastic and the vibe made the experience that much better! Highly recommend for yummy sushi and a good time.

Incredible sushi every time! It's on Old south wharf, a shelled street right off of the harbor. It is a very cool location and a great place to sit outside on a nice day. We dine there often.
Stopped in at 0'bar for a drink before dinner.
...super nice, quaint, on the water vibe (even though you are inside!). Bartender was very attentive even though we were not seated at the bar! Loved this atmosphere!

Great place with a fab location (moved from previous village locale) on wharf, but the chef is the reason for 5 stars! He's talented and incredibly accommodating, food is fresh and delicious! Bar Yoshi is totally worth the visit to the wharf and 5 stars!
Bar Yoshi's food used to be great, but the staff is
Bar Yoshi's food used to be great, but the staff is generally rude. The staff proceeded to have an attitude throughout our entire meal. The manager was very inappropriate as well. When I inquired about the fee, she asked me about my morals! Disgusting! The restaurant also charges fees without informing their customers. The place is nice but Isn't worth being mistreated for.
Where do I begin.
My brother and I used to frequent this place when it was Sushi by Yoshi. Food was always good, but the service sucked and staff was typically rude. I've come to Bar Yoshi a few times now, and the food has actually gotten worse. For $3 for each piece of sushi(around $20-30 per roll)it's definitely not worth the price. The restaurant also throws on an additional gratuity fee, separate of the tip, without disclosing it to customers, in lieu of paying their employees. They simply slap on a fee at the end of each check, in the hopes their customers won't notice. It's not the cost of the fee that bothers me, but the fact that I am being charged for something that was not initially disclosed- that's simply unethical. Overall, considering food, service, hospitality, and prices, I wouldn't recommend coming to Bar Yoshi.
Went for a last minute, early dinner by the wharf.
Originally, we were sat outside but after 10 minutes with no service we decided to go inside and sit at the bar. What a great decision, the bartender acknowledged us immediately and served water quickly. We started with the spring rolls which were crunchy, flaky, & well portioned. Next, we had the dumplings, and they were good. Lastly, we shared the Ichiban roll, most popular according to the bartender. It was great. We were in-and-out in 25 minutes!
Loved it!
What a special place! I had an outstanding dinner. I was warmly greeted and seated at a table by the window. The location on the water was beautiful, and my server Mack was exceptional. I wanted something different than I would ordinarily order, and his recommendations were spot-on. The food was delicious. Because everything came together perfectly, this was my favorite restaurant during my week on Nantucket. Go- you won’t be disappointed.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bar Yoshi Nantucket at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bar Yoshi Nantucket page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process

3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Bar Yoshi Nantucket to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
