The Food
Downtown Los Gatos has needed another sushi place for years. And this cute restaurant housed in the former Hug-A-Berry yogurt shop is a welcome addition to the dining scene. Fresh is the catch here. Owner Young Kim spends his mornings racing all around the Bay Area looking for the best that local fisherman have to offer. Take the hamachi, maguro and unagi raw and you won't be disappointed. Yokohama also serves some very interesting rolls such as the Philadelphia, with cream cheese and salmon, and the Spider, made from soft-shell crab. The California rolls are only mediocre. No tempura.
The Scene
As one would expect, this is a very hip place with cool jazz playing and a minimum of the tacky Japanese knickknacks to clutter the place. A really good place for an important first date.

To the previous reviewer....you ordered "california roll"...that's not even real sushi. This place is the best in the south bay, and I've tried a ton of places. The himachi, salmon, and albacore are amazing, as is the red dragon roll.

Yokohama is by far the best sushi joint in Los Gatos. The seafood is almost always fresh, and the chefs are always open to you asking "what's fresh today" and they'll make a great recommendation. I recommend the spicy tuna rolls, the spider rolls, and the sashimi. I've had the chicken teriakyi before it's average, nothing too spectacular there. The service is great, friendly warm staff. The interior isn't spacious, if you're going in with a group make sure to call-in in advance otherwise groups of 5+ will have a hard time getting seated promptly and comfortably. If you're into sake bombing, the chefs are sometimes into taking a few bombs with the guests at the sushi bar. Side note: Yokohama for some reason always seems to be playing 90's teen pop like Nsync and some other weird 90's VH1 music

This is a cute little place in Los Gatos. It's a little dining room, but it is very warm and inviting. The spicy tuna rolls were wonderful! And the miso soup and edamame were great too. I went later in the evening so we were seated quickly. I can see it becoming pretty busy during the dinner hour.
