Yokozuna Sushi Chalong

Yokozuna Sushi Chalong is a compact sushi spot in Phuket with neat plating and a calm, low-key dining atmosphere. Inside, you’ll find a minimalist space that blends subtle Japanese touches with Scandinavian simplicity — clean, bright, and uncluttered. There are two seating areas; the room on the right is quieter and more comfortable for conversation. A couple of minor downsides are the strong lighting and noticeable echo, which can make it feel less cozy. Parking is available right by the entrance.

The main draw is fresh, generously sized rolls and sashimi. Portions are substantial, with plenty of fish and cream cheese. The style is especially popular with guests looking for “Russian/Moscow-style” sushi — from classic Philadelphia rolls to variations with mango. The menu also includes well-executed crispy tempura, miso soup with salmon, kimchi, unagi donburi, and a drinks list with cocktails and wine. Presentation is tidy, takeout packaging is done carefully, and orders are usually prepared fairly quickly.

Delivery is available via Grab and Foodpanda, and takeout is convenient even close to closing time. Occasionally, small organizational hiccups happen — an item may be mixed up, an add-on not applied right away, or a late order cancelled due to a mismatch with the delivery app’s schedule — but these issues are typically resolved on the spot. Prices are mid-range to slightly above average, and a 7% VAT is included in the bill.
