My husband and I absolutely love it here. They have a great staff and atmosphere and the food is delicious! We drive 50 miles just to eat here! The Jolly Rancher roll is the best on their menu! Thanks Yellowfinn!

Very cute sushi restaurant and great atmosphere. The music was a little loud. The food was very presentable and looked fantastic! The food tasted better than most small sushi places I’ve visited. Most the staff was friendly. Great little spot to eat sushi and relax. Would visit again.

Great service and atmosphere. Heated patio was a fun treat. Don't skip the tempura yams.

Staff was extremely friendly and prompt with service. The restaurant space is relaxing and welcoming. Definitely fits into the sugar house fun and casual atmosphere. Yellowfin has a nice outdoor covered patio space which was awesome to sit in. And the best part of the experience was the food. The sushi rolls were absolutely incredible. The drink menu is solid. Can't wait to come back.

Yellowfinn is a Sugar House gem serving exquisite Japanese food in an environment that exudes major neighborhood pub energy. I don't recall ever feeling more at home or authentically welcomed to a place on my first visit. The menu is about 80% gluten free, so it makes it easy for diners with those issues. I recommend the hamachi nigiri, Utah roll and tempura banana for dessert. The creamesicle saketini is perfect. This is a place you need to try.

The food was delicious at a great price. Our server was excellent and did a great job taking care of us. The coconut curry was delicious, with spicy tuna and salmon rolls.

Excellent experience last night. Staff are friendly. The music, lighting, and all around vibe was on point. Melissa, our server, was amazing. She bantered, joked, and laughed with us. The food was on point. I haven’t had that good of sushi in a very long time. I highly highly recommend. Five star for sure.
