Our Guestbook
“ Had a really great meal at YOKA this evening. Some of the freshest and best tasting sashimi I've had all year. I often enjoy AYCE sushi as part of my travels, YOKA ranks right up there. Staff were amazing, attentive and super friendly. Highly recommend, I hope I can get there again before I leave Truro! ”
“ My family and I have been eating here regularly now for 3 years so I feel qualified to have a serious opinion. The owner here is lovely and cares about her patrons. She always greets us with a smile. The food is quite excellent overall and the service is excellent. We have never been disappointed. We hope to continue eating here at what has become our favourite restaurant. We have to travel 45 minutes to enjoy the great sushi and sashimi here but it is most definitely worth our time. NJKew ”
“ Nothing beats the freedom and flexibility to order all you can eat sushi on demand! From first order to delivery to table, on demand service is fast and accurate. Portions are small so you don't over order and if you want more, you can simply order some! Food quality and portions were good. Price/value was very good. Definitely a go to when in town. ”
“ I ordered online before they opened at 4:30. I ordered delivery but failed to check my address and add a note about which door to use - could be figured out but confusing. My food arrived at 4:30 to the correct address and door. As usual the sushi was delicious. I also tried their Pad Thai for the 1st time. It's different than what I typically see as pad Thai but delicious- just sweeter than usual. ”
“ We arrived a touch after opening to lunch, lots of seating available. Within 15 minutes we has been seated, been brought tea, placed our order and had food. So incredibly quick service on all accounts. The food was marvelous as well with not 1 thing we ordered falling short of the rest. By the time 40 minutes had passed the restaurant was full and people were actually waiting for seating(I can see why considering how amazing it is). Finally we get the bill and it's half of what it would have been in Ontario. With better service, food quality, and price than the nation's capital YOKA is definitely my new favorite sushi spot. ”
“ Japanese/Thai cuisine. Incredible experience... all you can eat experience. Great way to try new foods, load up on the items you can't get enough of!!! Seating limit is 90 minutes, and the flow of hot, fresh, delicious choices come quickly. Outstanding customer service. A "must try" while visiting Truro! ”
“ The sushi is absolutely delicious, extremely fresh, and the service is generally top notch. We drive just over 2 hours, about every third week, just to eat here. The best sushi in-between Truro and Cape Breton for sure. Totally worth the money and trip to go to. I highly recommend the all you can eat, as they have a menu you can choose from or an all you can eat selection. A couple of the pictures uploaded are of the supper all you can eat menu. The all you can eat menu has changed a bit since these were taken, but will update with new pictures when I go for the supper next. More pictures to come at next trip. ”
“ They called me to confirm my special delivery request, great service. I order from YOKA all the time. Very very good food and once they gave me a free order of scallops. Highly recommend. Atmoshere is probably 5 stars but i only order delivery. ”
