YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Serves Carmel Valley, CA

I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers. It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.

I’m speechless from the service I received from this amazing sushi company. I loved the food, designs, and service!! I would recommend this sushi over any other ones. Amazing job for my wedding.
