Yoshi Sushi is a straightforward spot for sushi lovers in Latham who appreciate quality ingredients without the fuss of upscale decor. Tucked away on Loudon Road, it operates as a no-frills sushi restaurant where the focus is firmly on the craft of sushi making rather than ambiance or trendy interiors.

The dining experience here unfolds at a steady pace—fresh rolls and dishes are crafted carefully, so some patience during busy periods is part of the deal. The kitchen turns out a broad range of classic and inventive sushi rolls alongside Japanese staples like miso soup and sashimi platters. Specialty items such as the Spicy Tuna Roll, New York Roll, and caviar-topped sushi show a balance between familiar favorites and touches of creativity.

Customers often come for the freshness of the fish and the nuanced flavors, particularly those who enjoy a sushi meal where each piece reflects attention to detail—whether it’s the texture of the tamago sushi or the rich flavors layered in the soft shell crab roll. The chefs, who have recently changed but maintain the essence established by the original owner, are hands-on and approachable, adding a friendly vibe behind the counter.

The atmosphere remains modest and unpretentious, making it a practical choice for weekday lunches or casual dinners rather than special occasions. The restaurant complements its sushi with thoughtful touches like complimentary hot tea and miso soup, lending a sense of warmth especially on colder days. It’s a place where locals might drop in for a comforting meal after work or gather for a relaxed evening away from the rush.

Yoshi Sushi suits diners who prioritize taste and authenticity in their sushi over trendy styling or extensive beverage menus. Its location in Latham makes it a dependable neighborhood option for anyone craving fresh, well-executed Japanese seafood dishes without the distractions of a fancy setting.

Best sushi we have eaten in years, if not ever. Mom and pop shop, and every roll is made fresh, so you gotta be patient. (Came in right after a giant party of businessmen, and when I tell you we didn’t get our food for an hour and the sushi was worth the wait, you catch my drift!) The salmon skin with salmon on top absolutely to die for. Yoshi is very clearly a master of his craft!

Recent change of owners. I love the new owners. He has mastered the restaurants unique recipes such as the New York roll and given them his own unique style. Caviar roll is unique with 5 different types of roe. Tracy Roll great. Fresh ingredients. Friendly chef/owners

This place is a perfect no nonsense sushi place. Complimentary hot tea and miso made my winter morning. The sushi is high quality from what I've had. Atmosphere is average but you wanna go here for the sushi anyway. First time having Inari sushi. I need to have it again!

Was good, they changed owners. I think the new owners/chef are trying to get used to making sushi but decent and the service was great. The sushi rice was a bit soggy from too much rice vinegar. Fish was fresh, had a fun dinner. They gave out complimentary miso soup and house salad!!

ol' Yosh' must have really done his homework when finding a buyer for his restaurant because the new guy is absolutely on the same par. Usually you don't expect miso soup to be much more than bathwater; good enough for an appetizer and definitely not the most memorable part of the meal, but that was the most flavorful and comforting miso I've envountered; I wonder if he makes his own? The cucumber roll had this bitter sauce in it that I've never seen before either but IT WORKED with the sweet cucumber and the starchy rice and especially washed down with some earthy green tea. Yeah, this guy knows what he's doin

We stopped here for lunch. Ordered multiple rolls and sushi combo for two. Everything was fresh made, with fresh ingredients and great flavor.

Yoshi Sushi with new owners is... dare we say it, even better than it was before? We delayed visiting after hearing that Yoshi sold the business, especially after seeing the first few not-so-great reviews. We figured it would take the new owners some time to sort through things and get up to speed, and that seems to be the case. Our first visit back since the original owners handed off the baton was actually... great. We ordered a few old favorites: Mixed sunomuno, Eel avocado, etc. They taste nearly identical to how Chef Yoshi prepared them, indicating that the exact recipes were passed along. Even the egg was the exact composition (Though you can see the technique is not 100%, but tastes the same) The eel in the roll is still served warm, which was one of the things that Yoshi did that no other restaurants seem to do. Sushi was all about the same level of execution that we experienced before, with the only exception being the octopus- which was extremely tough and looked a bit freezer burned. I think the sunomuno is also slightly less substantial than what Yoshi used to serve, but honestly I am just glad that it still mostly tastes the same. A refreshing salad now comes with the meal, with miso soup still complimentary. The service is ... let's say, much less jarring for new customers now. The new owner is very nice, exudes Japanese hospitality, and is very attentive. A welcome change. Bottom line: Same sushi, now with great service and a different sort of charm. Another score for Latham foodies!

I've been coming here for many years, and it was always my favorite sushi spot. Recently, ownership changed, but the sushi and the menu as a whole did not. It's all still just as amazing as it's always been. Definitely a big step above any other sushi in the area.
