all the food and drink were very yummy! service was also great. they great you when you walk in and leave and checked on us multiple times. we made a reservation online, which i highly recommend as they do get busy around peak meals. i do wish they let you reserve a certain table type, but i get that can be hard!

i enjoy the outdoor seating for summer lunches and adore the option for traditional japanese chabudai seating their sencha green tea is delicious and the lunch bentos are a great bang for your buck. however out of sushi destinations, i wouldn’t really reccomend Yosaku. i tried uni / sea urchin for the first time here and i dont know if it had went bad, but it was like funky spoiled sea water, not to mention the texture ive notice within the past few years they tend to absolutely butcher the fish which just ruins the texture and experience. as you can see in the picture of the tuna avocado rolls in the bento box

Awesome culinary Japanese experience. We ordered gyozas, bonito seared, edamame, pork katsu don, beef udon noodles, and a bottle of hakutsuru junmain sake… just beautiful. Besides a Japanese water pond, so natural and authentic, totally worth to visit.

Beautiful Japanese restaurant that was recommended to us by several locals. The staff could be a bit friendlier but the food is so good that it more than makes up for it. The fish in the sushi tasted so fresh and they have this beautiful patio. Highly recommend

My girlfriend and I went to Yosaku for a date the night before her deployment, and it turned out to be the perfect place for such a meaningful evening. We rarely go out to eat — and when we do, it’s always for Japanese food. It’s the only cuisine that consistently feels worth it. Living in Maine, truly good Japanese food and sushi can be tough to find, but Yosaku is about as good as it gets. The sushi was fresh and beautifully prepared, the menu had a strong range of options, and the sake selection was diverse and top-tier. We sat outside near a peaceful little water feature, and the entire setting — from the ambient music to the gentle background sound of the water — made for a truly relaxing and beautiful dining experience. The prices were more than fair for the quality of the food and
