Yokomo in Scheldebuurt

An absolute gem on Maasstraat! Original flavors, delicious cocktails, and a cozy vibe. Taste everything from fish to cauliflower – guaranteed top-notch.

The Food is incredible good, me and my Wife was blown away from the Flavours of the Food...but the kindness from the Service is what u get a second Time for sure back again!

Absolutely loved Yokomo! The food was fab — everything we had was full of flavour and the portions were really generous. The sushi roll was a particular highlight and the cocktails were delicious too. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and has such a great vibe, and the service made the whole experience even better. Huge shoutout to Ashley, who was so friendly and attentive throughout. Such a lovely meal and experience overall. We’ll definitely be back!

Food was absolutely delicious! Ashley was the best recommending dishes and very lovely. We’ll repeat for sure!

Amazing food, a great mix of Latin and Japanese. Ashley served us and was very nice.

Wow. We got the chef’s menu for 4 people. IT TOOK 3.5 hours. This is not fine dining at all but it took 3.5 hours for all these little bites to arrive. Honestly, food was fine. Not mind blowing. It was expensive too. So expensive, ok food that took forever to arrive…terrible experience.

Peruvian/Japanese dishes to share. A little gem in Amsterdam. Very friendly and professional service. Tasteful food with surprising dishes. Relaxed atmosphere.

Truly delicious food! There wasn't a single dish I wasn't satisfied with. The cocktails were good too. The service was also superb. Highly recommended and I will definitely come back here again 👌🏼 You can park right in front of the door.

Thank you for your attention! Excellent food and recipes. Great food! Worth the trip…

Disappointing experience overall. We ordered five plates to share and everything arrived at once, including the warm dishes. The tuna sushi and ceviche were OK, the empanada was not good, and the shrimp tacos were particularly bad. Portions were also quite small for the price. If you sit on the terrace, expect long waiting times. It felt like they brought everything at once and then basically forgot about our table. When we raised concerns about some of the food and drinks, the waiter was rude and dismissive. Overall, the quality, portions and service simply didn’t justify the price. We paid and left.

Deliciously refreshing dishes. Excellent service. Soft background music for the atmosphere.

So tasty! Perfect fusion, the dishes are beautifully presented and the cocktails are delicious too! Spicy Paloma was truly 10/10. Very sweet and helpful waitresses. Will definitely be back!

This is truly a great restaurant. We had an 8-course menu. We were surprised every time regarding the presentation and taste. The waitress took her time to explain exactly what we were being served. We had a delicious meal! I will definitely be back here.

My friend and I had dinner on the terrace on a quiet Thursday evening. The menu offered a wide variety of dishes with Japanese and Latin-American influences. The food was tasty and nicely presented. I especially enjoyed trying ingredients that were new to me, such as watermelon radish and purple shiso. Because the restaurant follows a tapas-style concept, the dishes arrived quite quickly. However, I think the experience would have been better if they had been served a little more slowly, as the beef skewers became cold before we finished them. Overall, we had a very gezellige and enjoyable evening.

Very good flavors and a nice menu. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff.

Highly recommended. Delicious and affordable food. Very nice concept.

The food was fantastic! We tried the 8-course menu and enjoyed every single dish. The cocktails were also excellent. The dishes are very well thought out while still having a comforting, homemade touch, which we loved. The waitresses explained every dish perfectly and were incredibly sweet, making us feel right at home. I absolutely LOVED the tres leches cake. I’d been craving one for so long and this one was special. I loved hearing that it was made by a mom, and honestly, you could tell, because it was SO good 🥰

Absolutely incredible food. The best we had our whole week in Amsterdam. The restaurant is nestled in a lovely neighbourhood behind a payphone as a front door. The sushi was unbelievable. So flavourful. The guacamole came with a mortar and pestal that you mashed together yourself which is so fun (and was so tasty). We barely had room for dessert but had to try the tres leches because everything else was so wonderful and we were not disappointed. The presentation for all dishes was 10/10. The staff were so lovely. The Pisco was so tasty and they even made us maracuya sours off menu which were delicious. This will be a restaurant we will always come back to when in Amsterdam from now on!

It was my second time in Yokomo already and I will be back again. A lot of choice from the menu and everything was amazing. Also love the way they serve corona beer in salty glass <3

Incredible experience. The food was amazing and the service 10/10. We even asked if they can make a maracuya sour for us and it tasted so good. Definitely a good option if you want to try Latin-American food.

We enjoyed the delicious food, the atmosphere, and the friendly, efficient service. We will definitely be back!

I loved this place! Dinner end service was 10/10! I would definitely coming back soon! The music was also perfect for the moment! My friend ordered 2 cocktails she loved it too! Super lekker! ❤️

Everything was delicious. If you are in the area, GO!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

In a word: AMAZING! 10 out of 10! The atmosphere, the staff, the food—we'll definitely be back!

Delicious food, a fun fusion kitchen, and very friendly service. Highly recommended!

Thank you all, go enjoy your food.

We had another delicious meal here. The staff really went out of their way to make you feel welcome.

Incredibly delicious food. We had a wonderful à la carte meal. The flavor was fantastic. The non-alcoholic mojito is also highly recommended.

What a gem in the neighborhood! Delicious, flavorful dishes to share; a feast for the eyes too. A non-alcoholic cocktail is recommended. Service with a smile; we'll be back!

Excellent restaurant based on latin and Asian fusion cuisine with impeccable service!!

The food was delicious, but it was quite noisy inside. Could you do something about the acoustics? Perhaps some sound-absorbing wall coverings? Thanks in advance.

Great food, friendly and good service.

Yokomo in Amsterdam’s quiet Rivierenbuurt is an absolute treasure. Tucked away in a calm, cozy neighborhood, this restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience built around Nikkei cuisine—a beautiful fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavors. Everything, from the atmosphere to the plating, is curated with care and attention to detail. The food was outstanding. Every dish felt vibrant, balanced, and full of character. Highlights included the miso aubergine tempura, perfectly crisp with deep umami notes, the tuna tostada with its fresh, bright flavors, the gamba ceviche and the guacamole with crunchy corn crackers, which was so simple yet incredibly addictive. Each plate not only tasted amazing but was presented with real artistry. The drinks were just as impressive, thoughtfully crafted and beautifully served, complementing the food perfectly. On top of that, the staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with exceptional food and a refined but relaxed vibe, Yokomo is a must-visit. A standout in Rivierenbuurt—and in all of Amsterdam.

A delightful family-run restaurant with a beautiful combination of Latin and Asian dishes.

We had a wonderful meal. Guacamole started, followed by a delicious tuna ceviche, then delicious shrimp sushi, and finally, a delicious steak skewer (sorry, I don't remember the name). It was very well prepared and wonderfully tender. The patatas braves were also delicious. Finally, a delicious dessert with tres leches and ice cream, melon, and even macaroni. All very tasty, and that for a €42 menu for six courses. A very nice sharing menu. The service was also very good; it wasn't very busy, so highly recommended! The Japanese and Peruvian influences are clearly noticeable. I will definitely be back!

The food was amazing, super delicious. We came 2 days in a row since it was so good. Also the cocktail. We ordered a few fish dishes, the crispy tuna roll, a great pekin duck. Yammmi. The waitresses were lovely. It is one of the best restaurants ever. The atmosphere is very nice, good music in a perfect volume. Nicely designed. I recommend.

Quiet and nice atmosphere, the food was delicious. I loved the eggplant

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, nice music in the background. I recommend it. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Very nice place, friendly staff

Delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere. After visiting many restaurants, this one is definitely recommended. The cocktails are delicious, and I really like the menu. Most importantly, I think, is the attentiveness of the staff; you receive truly friendly and professional service. Highly recommended again! Keep up the good work, Yokomo!

Had an excellent meal in this best kept secret of Holland. Came upon this restaurant after a search for a fusion place on my trip to Holland. Excellent cuisine mixing the Spanish and Asian styles of cooking. Food presentation was amazing and the food tasted just as delicious as it was presented. Look forward to returning on my next trip. You won’t regret visiting Yokomo.

These aren't typical Peruvian dishes (it says Peruvian restaurant outside and Latin restaurant on the menu), but despite the modifications, the result is quite good. At least the sautéed beef bowl (their version of lomo saltado) with rice. The extras (corn, edamame, etc.) went very well. The chicken chicharrón was also delicious. The pisco sour was a bit light on the pisco. They didn't have a good, fresh spice. Just Tabasco.

This is truly one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam. Friendly staff, amazing food. Great cocktails; I eat there regularly with my husband, children, and sisters. Lovely atmosphere and music. I think they deserve a bigger location and should expand throughout the Netherlands. Pricey, but definitely worth it!

The food was delicious, with excellent flavor. The service deserves a 10 out of 10. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy good sushi with a Latin touch.

Had a fantastic evening with my partner. Delicious food. The waitress was also very nice and hospitable! We'll definitely be back.

Everything was delicious, it was the second time we came back and we loved it.

Delicious fusion of Japanese and Peruvian food. Would highly recommend the crispy sushi. Will come back again.

Delicious food! Definitely worth it!

Service was non existent to be frank food was okay ish

The four of us had a great meal at Yokomo. I am vegan myself and am not allowed to have onion or garlic, which is often a bit of a hassle in many other restaurants. Here everything was freshly made and adapted to my intolerance. Super friendly and helpful waiter Marco and we laughed a lot. Next time I will definitely come back with my sisters and mother who have the same dietary requirements.

Excellent tapas. Their take on a Caesar salad is creative and perfect for sharing. Tuna tataki was very good. Would have been 5 stars, but when I order a beer and tap water, don't tell me "we don't have tap water." What a foolish way to start out your brief relationship with a customer. I'm paying for a beverage. Let me have Amsterdam's fine tap water as well.

What a secret gem! From the outside you can't tell that it LOOKS SO NICE on the inside! The service is really nice and cozy! Love it!!! We need more service like this. Maybe they should do a little more on the outside, because I've been living here for 9 years and I never noticed it. Otherwise I would have gone much sooner! See you soon Yokomo!

Very tasty food. A real surprise. Very tasty and super attentive and nice service. Highly recommended and will definitely come back

The place is very well located, the food is very delicious but the service is excellent. Thank you for your good service.

We took family visiting Amsterdam here because we recalled the food being so good. But felt so bad because every. Single. Thing. We ordered was terrible. Maybe the guac was acceptable but I mean it's just guac so... I don't know what happened to this restaurant. Did the chef change? The same dishes we offered the first time we visited tasted god awful the second time. We were still hungry when done but didn't bother to order anything else because it was no good.

I had a really good meal here! Every dish was so flavorful. Especially the birria taco. 3 dishes per person is fine. Staff were friendly. The music was very nice. Perfect volume. I don't understand how this restaurant isn't packed. I would recommend it to everyone!

Delicious food a great combination of japanese amd south american cusine. Especially the ceviche of seabass and tuna were perfect. I also loved pimentos de padron, freshly made guacamole and churros! Extremely nice service! Highly recommended!

Very nice place. A lot of options. Great cocktails and super nice staff!

Love it, good food, relatively affordable, great personnel

Some very nice latin sushi rolls!

Excellent food. Friendly atmosphere. Beautiful decoration

All in all it was an okay experience. We ordered 5 dishes in total. It was tasty but not over the top. The service was mediocre. While we were still eating something, we were asked twice if they could take it with us. (That could also be the inexperience of the staff). In any case, they tried very hard. All in all… it's a great place to do shared dining for once.

Super delicious food and friendly service. The restaurant is very cozy. Nice spot :)

The restaurant has a nice appearance and a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately the food was a bit disappointing. We opted for the all-you-can-eat menu to try different dishes, but we found the quality of the food disappointing. For example, the sushi rice was cold, which didn't really make it tasty, and it seemed like it came straight from the refrigerator. Furthermore, the dishes were beautifully presented. The service was mediocre. At such a location you would expect a more professional service, but the staff did their best. What really bothered us was the strict enforcement of the 'no waste' policy. We had only eaten two rounds, but still had to pay for a quarter of a portion of skewers that we had not eaten. We understand the importance of reducing food waste, but it does not feel comfortable to be charged extra for such small quantities. This has never happened to us in an all you can eat restaurant and unfortunately it did not contribute to a positive experience.

A beautiful and cozy restaurant and that's it. Definitely some areas for improvement here and there. Had an all you can eat here on Tuesday evening without any expectations. First of all, everything is served very nicely and in small portions, but the taste is a bit difficult to describe and everything is not quite right. Everywhere we never make an issue of 1 dish that doesn't taste good and the rest is okay. But we definitely recommend everyone to eat all your dishes until the last bite, otherwise you will be charged €2. In general, we had eaten everything except for 3 dishes (final score €6 extra for the last remaining bites...) We understand the rule of food waste, but if you are charged for something that is literally 1 bite, we thought it was incredibly absurd! Even after this was pointed out, the response was not too understanding. We've never had this at any other all you can eat, even though we left some edamame beans or fries, never mind! If things are this strict here, we also expect better service and quality of the food! I'm willing to pay extra for that! After 2 rounds and a dessert we called it a day. Unfortunately not worth repeating for us.

Delicious food and good service

Tuna crispy rice 10/10 careful w food allergies

Yokomo is a unique restaurant featuring tapas style meals with a Latin / Japanese fusion menu. The food was all excellent, beautifully prepared, and just delicious. The service was also great and the atmospherr was nice. Highly recommended.

It is a very nice, beautifully decorated cozy restaurant on a corner of a street where I wouldn't expect a restaurant other than Amsterdam. It is a shared dining restaurant, something I didn't really realize online. I found the choice a little bit limited. The portions are small but it is also shared dining. My table companion did not like the Sushi. Except for the topical...sushi that is. My scallops were tasty, the eggplant too. I just thought everything had too much oil. The sea bass was in some kind of oil and the smallest bass ever in my life. My cocktail fell over and I got a new one for free. Would I go back for dinner = no. For the atmosphere? = Yes. The combination Latin-Japanese Asian is a nice idea... but it didn't appeal to me.

Eating here on a Monday is nothing like Japanese (Latin) cuisine. Not worth it if you are used to good food. Me and my girlfriend left feeling nauseous after the first course. Just paid the full price even though we indicated that it was not what we expected.

Super quality and good portions. Staff is friendly and cozy layout. We will definitely come back!

Food was okay. We brought our own cake and had to pay separately to eat it.

We had a reservation and upon walking in, were not even greeted. It’s like the host was annoyed and just asked ‘do you have a reservation’?! We were seated and then ignored for about 10 mins when I had to ask for a menu. Another 10 mins passed and I had to ask for the drinks menu. Some friends of theirs came in and were served before us which was not only annoying but disrespectful. We finally ordered, our drinks took so long to come, our food arrived before the drinks. I found the staff incompetent with no acknowledgment or apology for the wait time as if it’s normal to receive food before your drinks. I don’t even remember the food to be honest; the service was just so off putting.

This place is actually not worthy of a star. Although the chicharron was ok. But we have basically been SCAMMED. We come especially on Mondays for the all you can eat. We are also asked at the table if it is our first time here and we agree. It is then explained that we could order 3 dishes per person per round. Do we get the voucher: not all you can eat!!!! We had to pay the full price. The manager indicates that we had to report it ourselves. Bizarre!

Food was terrible and the concept is non existent ... ceviche and tacos al pastor were unfortunately the worst I've ever had. If you want good food, look elsewhere. The concept also makes no sense - for example, why is there a mural of Anne Frank in the middle of this "Latin Japanese fushion" restaurant? 🤷‍♀️

Loved the cocktails presentation and food, try mai tai! for sure recommend there espresso martini and ceviche! P.S. not specifically together :)

Excellent food and attention ✨ Many thanks to Wanda for her kindness

I really don't understand why this place is not next to my house. I would eat there more often. This was one of my better restaurant experiences for this year. For Amsterdam standards they have okay prices and especially for the food that they serve. The combination of flavours herbs and spices on some of the dishes that we ordered was simply delicious and very creative. Plenty of vegetarian dishes and that makes the whole experience that much better.

The dishes are little works of art, both in terms of how they look and taste. We followed the staff's tips and we were pleasantly surprised! Very friendly service :)

Closes early... staff not really interested.

Great restaurant, the taco’s are lovely.

Went to Yokomo after seeing it on the Fork. The service is good. They serve a lot of dishes that can be quite hard to find in Amsterdam, like chicharron. I really enjoyed the ceviche there, it is really good! Definitely give it a try if you like meats and fish with a latin taste.

So good! Get the sushi with Plantain!

I very rarely give a restaurant 5 stars. Yokomo deserves 10! The food was exceptional! We definitely ordered more than advised. The waitress told us 2-3 meals off the menu is enough for 1 person. But we wanted to try more. The cocktails, service and location were also great. I definitely recommend this place. And don’t walk but run!

One of the best tacos 🌮 in my life It’s very rich flavor with great cookie part The only disadvantage is the beef is a bit dry

Very much recommended if you like to be surprised. Fun to share the flavorful dishes, with nice cocktails. The staff is friendly. It has a cozy atmosphere.

So impressed with Yokomo! Food looked great and flavour combinations were fantastic. So much variety on the menu but no compromise on food quality. Will be back again! Recommend the guacamole and the kung pao chicken

Recently ate here. We really didn't like the food. Very flat, there was no salt on the rib-eye, the miso eggplant was hard, there was no flavor to the tempura shrimp and we also found the soft shell tacos disappointing. A real waste of money, because they are not cheap snacks either. Very surprised by the positive reviews below. The girl who helped us was very nice and the tent looked nice inside.

After an afternoon of theater, the day ended with dinner at Yokomo. Fantastic! Delicious food, great service and a warm atmosphere. Definitely recommended 😉!

High recommendation, we took several dishes all excellent!! Will come again!

Excellent service, exquisite food and very pleasant atmosphere. 100% recommended.

Food was average. Waiter is not allowed to give out tap water even though we ordered for 90 euros. It’s illegal not give your guests water

Amazing food, great service for a really decent prize!

I celebrated my birthday here, and what a good experience it was. The food was super tasty and beautifully presented. You can clearly taste the influences of both Japan and Peru in all dishes, very unique! The waiter Marco in particular ensured that we had a very good evening!

Well priced small plates, we sat outside with stroller and the dog. Food is enjoyable and sufficient in terms of sizes.

The warm day turned into a cool evening. The place we chose to eat was Yokomo, an American Latin fusion restaurant. Nice to experience, but they served more Asian dishes and sometimes Latin. We mainly chose the sushi dishes, bao buns, chicken related dishes and of course the wines. Unfortunately, orders were occasionally incorrect and had to be returned. Overall a nice and clean place, space can be tight when the place is full, but it was still very manageable. At first we wanted to sit outside, but the wind made it no more pleasant. In addition, the furniture is no match for the crooked tiles at the front of the terrace, so it is advisable to sit inside.

The food was amazing. We recommend the crispy tuna, the aubergine miso and the delicious sea bass ceviche. The service was a bit slow and I think they were lacking people. So that can be improved. Overall great food and food place. Avoid the cocktails as they weren’t great but wine was pretty good.

Decent place. However, I don’t understand how you can be in hospitality and refuse your guests tap water. Even more so if they already ordered cocktails. Unacceptable.

This is very good peruvian and sushi restaurant. We really liked the Californian sushi rolls, chickens, ceviche. Portion sizes are small, you need to order multiple dishes and share. I really recommend the ceviche and Tres leches to try. Drinks were also good.

Even though we didn't understand a dish or made a mistake, the service has been excellent, they have adapted the menu to gluten-free options, I still think they should be more up to date with allergies and have an adapted menu. Excellent food, good value for money but we are talking about very good quality and an excellent product. Advisable.
