    The ambiance was great, as always. The food was disappointing considering the chicken lettuce wraps came with three sauces but the waitress never even took the time to explain them to us. The tempura fried green beans were excellent with the wasabi dipping sauce, their version of bang bang shrimp was really good. But one of the people at my table, ordered sushi and that literally took almost 20 to 25 minutes to come to the table again with no explanation from the waitress. All she had to do was stop by the table and just say I’m sorry for the delay, but the guys making sushi are extremely busy and I’ll get your order out to you as soon as possible. I then stop somebody and said are you a manager and he said no but I can help you I told him that I thought it was kind of upsetting that nobody notified us that her dish would take longer than the rest of ours he just looked at me like I had 10 heads and mention that he would tell a manager but new manager ever stop by our table. Needless to say they need help with training on customer service and how to talk to the guests and inform them of any delays or specifics about dishes that come to the table

    We took family and friends; some who were from out of town and all who had never been to Yo Sake before. The service was efficient and our waitress was attentive. It was a hit with everyone! There's a good selection of cold sake and the other bar drinks available satisfied our group. We love sushi and know fresh. This was fresh, delicious and well prepared! We arrived early for our 7 pm reservation and the place was packed. Be sure to make a reservation. We'll be back!!

    We got to Yo Sake everytime we're in Wilmington, sometimes twice. They have great staff, great ambiance, and amazing food. The happy hour pricing is the way to go for sure. We'll continue to come everytime we come to Wilmington. What an amazing place to eat.

    Love this spot. My fav downtown restaurant. Glad they have the elevator though as the stairs are steep. Service is always great and so is the food.
