Yokozuna Sushi Restaurant

Yokozuna Sushi Rawai is a small Japanese spot in the Nai Harn/Rawai area of Phuket, with an intimate dining room and just a handful of tables. Inside, it feels cozy and well kept: a pleasant interior, calm music, and air conditioning. The vibe is simple and unpretentious, with a clear focus on an open kitchen and cleanliness.

The menu centers on rolls, sushi, and sashimi, with miso soup and poke also available. The fish is served with a great texture and attractive presentation, while the rolls are tightly made, hold their shape well, and strike a generous balance between fish and rice. A real highlight is the selection of unusual signature items — salmon dog, mini tuna hotdogs, and nacho chicken — alongside options like unagi deluxe, unagi baked, salmon tempura, and a vegan roll. If you enjoy spicy and “healthier” flavors, you’ll also find kimchi on the menu. Drinks include a solid tea selection, and ordering is easy thanks to a tablet-based menu.

Service is fast and friendly, and the staff are polite — sometimes they can even help in Russian. Delivery is neatly packed: rolls arrive in separate boxes and keep their presentation intact. That said, the sauce portions may feel a bit small, and the soy sauce tastes on the milder side. Tinted windows make the entrance less noticeable from the street, and orders placed through delivery apps may occasionally require extra attention to timing.
