Seems to be a setup to allow teenage kids to pretend to be staff while flirting with each other. I recommend ordering two drinks at the beginning because you will never see the waiter again. The greeter is particularly lethargic. Food is OK, but the overall experience is "sit down, eat, leave your tip(s), and leave" with little pleasure in the experience.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Pittsburgh! I love the decorations and the food. I always gets the hibachi dinners (big portion) and some sushi. The sushi is very fresh and is pretty cheap compared to other sushi shops I have been to. In addition, the steak in the hibachi dinner is cooked to perfection. Sometimes, the chefs are new and make a few mistakes... and its very very crowded on the weekends so the waitresses/waiters don't always give me the full attention. Be sure to have a reservation! In addition, my friends daughter worked there and complained that the waiters weren't "good" but nothing could be done because there aren't many "good" people that apply to be waiters. (obviously... from the looks of it they look like they came straight from high school)So when you go, expect good food but not the greatest waiters.

Four of us went to celebrate my daughter’s 17th birthday at her request, we notified the waitress that it was her birthday, and it was completely forgotten. Other guests had very elaborate drum banging performances to celebrate special occasions at their tables. The service in general was very poor, most of the staff, including the chefs and manager seemed to be teenagers who would rather be doing something else. We waited at the bar for 35 minutes after our scheduled reservation, the bartender seem annoyed to have to leave her conversation with another bar staff to make drinks. The chef had a glass of dollar bills on his cart, seemingly to indicate that he wanted a tip; I found it to be very unsanitary, and out of line considering the cost of the food. The food was not seasoned; I believe that the seasoning shaker that the cook was bouncing around the grill was actually empty. When the bill arrived, the tip was already added since it is their policy to include the tip on parties of four or more…. I would not have left a 15% tip due to the poor service, perhaps if the tip were not already included the service would improve. There are several other options for Japanese food in the area, skip Yokoso and try something else.

Yokoso is awesome!!!. The hibachi style of cooking is definitely a worthwhile experience. The food is great, and so is the service. While the price may be a bit much for some, the experience is definitely worth every penny. For anyone a little skittish about sushi, or ready to try it, Yokosu is a good place for a first experience.
