Love the family feel of Yokozuna. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. I prefer coming here as opposed to a trendier location. Having lived in Vancouver I know that sushi and other Japanese foods aren't trendy - they are food. Delicious foods, and they don't need to be charged a huge premium.
Yokozuna is a fantastic location, clean and elegant with private family rooms if you wish, and delicious high quality food. -

Went for lunch and the place was pretty busy. The decor was pretty nice and the service was okay. Unfortunately, my ratings are almost always based on the food. I ordered the standard fair for visiting a new Japanese place. Agedashi tofu, 2 pieces of Saba (mackerel) and a bento box which consisted of sashimi, teriyaki chicken and tempura. The tempura batter was very thick and the teriyaki chicken was like warm and hard (probably pre-maid). The sashimi was cut really nice and had some good flavours.
I'll probably try it again but it's. It on my bucket list. -

Unfortunately in Edmonton, we do not have a large number of great Japanese restaurants to choose from. I always miss the quality we experience from cities such as Vancouver or San Francisco. However, if you're looking for a quick fix to satisfy your sushi craving, Yokozuna definitely makes it onto my Top 10 list of Japanese restaurants in Edmonton.
We started off with the Geso Age, Assorted Tempura, and Yokozuna Garlic Tuna. The batter on the Geso Age and Tempura was light, crispy, and fried to perfection. Sadly, we were not a big fan of the Yokozuna Garlic Tuna. I love garlic, but the garlic chips completely overpowered the delicate flavour of the Albacore tuna.
Next we had the Chirashi, Spicy Tuna Maki, Yellowtail, Toro, Chop Chop and Mackerel Nigiri. The quality of the fish was good and the rice was seasoned well.
Overall, the restaurant has a great ambience and the service is always quick. We've been coming here for years, and will continue to support them in our Edmonton food scene. -

Finally got to try this place. A lot of my friends say this is the "best in town". It's definitely up there.
First the decor, it's a beautiful restaurant. Definitely takes you to Japan, and the service was really good.
Now onto the food, I was quite impressed, we had a nice mix of appetizers rolls and sashimi. The Beef Tataki was done thin and very nice. The sashimi was the star here. Tuna and toro. Huge slices, so the portions were very nice.
I usually don't get rolls but we did the dragon eye, which is a deep fried hot roll, negitoro and dynomite. They were all well done and the presentation was nice.
It's a bit pricy here, but definitely in the high end in this city. Would place it just under Japonaise. Will be back! -

Yokozuna Roll & Dynamite Roll are awesome! This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let it fool you! Modern look inside, great food and drink. Give it a try!
