As much as I love their food, the customer service was horrible. At first they canceled our reservation 18 hrs before it. I understand everything happens but why not to offer something complementary?!Then I visited them another time and the only seating they could offer for a single visitor was their “bar” with 6 seats, the hostess kept telling me 5 more minutes until I waited for almost an hour. People who came in couples after were seated almost right away or with a slight wait.The manager of the restaurant never approached me even though I asked for it
Great food, service was good not great. BYOB, reasonable prices. Would definitely go again and prefer over most spots in lake view
Yellowtail is what happens when a restaurant focuses more on their appearance than on their food. Any sushi lover knows the best marker for the skill of the chef is the quality of the sushi rice… let’s just say Yellowtail misses that mark. Their chicken teriyaki tastes and looks like it’s off the miscellaneous section of a Chinese menu. Do yourself a favor and walk a block south to Sumo Sushi for a higher quality, more affordable meal.
Yellowtail is the best sushi in Lakeview! I said it cause it’s true, their menu is expansive and delivers on all fronts! Try and get a spot in the summer when they have outdoor seating, though the vibes inside are great too!
This sushi literally saved my life. I went here on July 3rd 2021 and was so dehydrated I felt like I was going to be sick and pass out. The wait staff was extremely attentive, served us quickly, got my blood sugar back up and made sure my water was always full. Best sushi of my life. I thought that might have been a one time affair, but nope. I came here April 28th 2022 and it was so amazing again. It wasn’t my delirium that made me think it was an amazing time, it simply was well made, well educated food. Jiro would dream of this sushi.
The sushi is really good. I went here a few times and the prices are fair since you get some good quality sushi. However the most recent time I ordered takeout, I noticed a piece of lobster shell in 2 of my sushi rolls. Thankfully I noticed it after fully chewing the roll but no big deal, stuff happens. Then I had another piece of my sushi with some glass or some sort of transparent plastic in it and the same for the piece after that. That was the last straw but I didnt want to leave a bad review prior to letting the restaurant manager know. I emailed them, followed up with management, but no response. I really liked this place but after that incident and the management team not responding, I wanted to let people know. Be careful getting sushi from here
AMAZING sushi! Fish flown from japan, both great special and traditional roles/pieces. Atmosphere is fun all seasons inside and on the patio in the summer too. Nicest waitstaff. I could live and die here. Thanks yellowtail!
We got carry out for Valentine’s Day and boy was that a mistake. Honestly the food is good, and they have awesome deals but my experience just picking up my food was horrible. I get that it’s a busy day, and I’ve been in the industry and it can be stressful! But my food was supposed to be ready at 7:37. I come at that exact time and was told come back in 25 minutes. I don’t have a car so I walked around and then get back there around 8:15. The lady at the front (tall woman with short blonde hair) was being so rude! I asked if my food was ready. Without her even checking she said no. I asked her when and she never gave me an answer but said “are you serious look around you it’s busy” and rolled her eyes. She then told everyone to wait in their car which majority of people didn’t have and was so rude to everyone in general. It did kind of ruined my Valentine’s Day as it took so long to get the food and I was treated poorly. It was my first time going there and probably my last solely because of how I was treated.
The best sushi in Lakeview. It’s always fresh & you can’t beat the price. BYOB & cheap corkage fee ($3 I think). Don’t sleep on the yakisoba.
Whomever was the host around 5:00 on this date was fantastic. She was kind, warm and helpful. It was refreshing to be able to make a reservation over the phone rather than online.Also this place has great sushi.
