Sushi Yorokobu

I was really surprised that I could still get a reservation even after booking just one day in advance, especially considering how highly rated this place is on Google. It turned out to be the worst Omakase I’ve ever had. The ingredients were of very poor quality and didn’t seem Japanese at all. The taste was no different from an ordinary sushi restaurant. This is my honest review — I hope it helps others think carefully before deciding to come. The main point is that it’s not cheap at all — it cost 3,900 baht, and with additional charges, the total exceeded 10,000 baht. That’s completely unreasonable. I honestly don’t understand why others give such high ratings — what are they thinking? Have they never had proper Japanese cuisine before? Or are those reviews fake, possibly bought ratings?

Food was 5/10, nothing special. Price wasn't that cheap either. It was just easy to book. My issue was the service. We were the only customers in the restaurant for lunch service but they KEPT rushing us, like they wanted to get off work. We asked them to slow down service, they did maybe for one course, but the courses kept firing one after the other every 2 seconds not even joking. We finished a 16 course meal in 1 hour. Normally it would take 2-2.5 hrs? They kept keeping the next courses prepped and done immediately and the food was just waiting at the counter for us to finish the current course, out in the air to dry. Asked them to slow down multiple times, just kept rushing. Quite unpleasant service

Was here with my sister on our Bangkok trip. We had the 12 Course Omakase lunch. Very average. Total bill came to 5870bht for 2. Place is small and decor is standard. It would be more professional if there is a menu on the course you are consuming so you know what you are eating. I could hardly understand what the chef was saying on each dish. I must say out of all the Omakase restaurants I’ve been to around the world, this one would categorise as not value for money in terms of what you get with service decor and presentation. My sister and I were literally still hungry after the 12 courses and it seems like we were rushed through the course so that they could close up.
