Awesome prices, amazing maki & great sushi feasts, good quality, you get large portions for what you pay and, they are not skimpy with the size of the rolls!

I'm still a new lover of Japanese food, and my love is limited to: tempura, maki, and anything teriyaki.
The bentos here didn't offer a maki option, which was sort of disappointing, but my table mates enjoyed their sushi/sashimi bento combos immensely. My tempura/teriyaki chicken plate was amazing. Well, the teriyaki chicken was amazing, super moist and flavourful. The tempura was average.
It's a tiny little place but worth going to, and it fills up so I would recommend a reservation. Friendly service and lots of menu options.Listed in: Four-Stars, South Side, She loves sushi by the…

I first went to Yokozuna about a year ago when my family took me straight after they picked me up from the airport. My mom is in love with the dragon rolls. It's fitting that we then returned to celebrate my mom's birthday there.
Nine of us fit ourselves around the table and the ordering began. First came the tea, which was unlike any I have had before. They serve a unique blend including puffed rice which cuts out the bitterness of the green tea and adds a nutty flavour which made me drink more than I usually do.
I settled on a salmon bento box with two types of salad, miso soup, tempera and sashimi. The sashimi was thinner than that at Furusato and though I was told it should be on the thinker side, I liked this thinner cut. It allows me to savour the fish more in one bite instead of feeling overwhelmed by a mouthful of fish. I loved the glass noodle salad that came with it - so refreshing and light with a hint of lemon and cucumber. I wasn't as keen on the seaweed salad I got as a replacement for the spinach salad. I'm a wakame fan and this was the thin noodle like seaweed. That's my preference so I can't fault the restaurant.
Everyone around the table seemed to enjoy their meals. The California rolls stayed mostly untouched. They were beautiful to look at but way too big. As my step-dad said, he likes sushi to be a pop in your mouth type affair and these were at least three or four so the roll fell apart as you tried to eat it.
I think I may have preferred Yokozuna to Furusato. Of course dining in is always a different experience as are birthday celebrations but I thought the space was brighter, the menu more extensive and better priced. A bonus is as a smaller group, we could have had a private room with paper walls and sliding doors. A place where you take off your shoes and sit on cushions around a low sunk in table. A definite transportation to another world in the middle of the snowy prairies. -

Been here lots. It is my favorite sushi place in Edmonton. It is small but that is a good thing as service is personal and friendly. Fresh is the most important thing in sushi and they are always spot on. Have taken my team out there and even though some were sketchy on sushi they found alternative they liked. Prices are reasonable and the portions never disappoint. Also recommend the bento box for lunch....I

even after a renovation the place feels a bit sterile (as a lot of sushi places do). healthy portions and a lot of options. i really like the dragon eyes here. the private sitting areas are not very comfortable but remain sufficiently intimate for my purposes
update, second trip:
scuffs on the walls were kind of gross and the booths have not been well maintained in a short period of time! the dining room is now the nicer place to sit. some technical errors in the wall art are apparent after getting a second look and they should be resolved because they look kind of goofy. food is still good and came out quick at lunch. -

We have been going there for years at least 3 times a month. The food is always excellent (bento box) and the service is perfect.
