I have dined at over 50 sushi restaurants all over the world. I can confidently say that my experience at Yokonyu was the worst. The first thing I noticed was the music . They were playing some sort of latin techno, not creating the ambiance expected at a sushi restaurant. Second of all I was astonished at the prices. $10 for a bowl of miso, $15 roles, $7 bottle of water. This place makes the award winning Uchi in austin look cheap. When I ordered a $10 glass of saki (which other nicer sushi restaurants charge $12 for a bottle of the exact same saki!!) and a glass of water the waiter made a comment about it being tap water.. of course. Still, none of this was a big deal. When the sushi arrived I was surprised how thin the fish was cut. The waiter brought a bottle of sauce I mixed it with the wasabi and started eating the sushi. I was shocked at how sour it was. I went on to a second piece and the same thing sour. On the third piece I questioned the waIter and he told me he would ask the sushi chef. It turns out that he had served some lemon juice mixture for what I thought was soy sauce. He said it had a latin flair. Whatever the case.. it ruined my sushi and left a disgusting taste in my mouth. Why in the world would you serve this with sushi.. not option of soy sauce.. unless requested.. and not warn the customers. I was also surprised that the waiter did not offer to replace the sushi this sauce spoiled. I paid my bill and left to order pizza. Very disappointing establishment!!
Cons: music, food, price
