FLORENTINE, one of the hippest neighborhoods in Tel Aviv : besides all the warehouses, many bars, restaurants, artist workshops and beautiful apt buildings have been built in the past few years and have made Florentin one of the up and coming chic areas in Tel Aviv.

In the midst of this bustling bohemian hub stands a quaint little sushi restaurant called YOKO SUSHI. We decided we must go and check it out! Upon entering we were greeted by the sweet waitress who seated us at a table by the window, where we could see the sexy hipsters passing by.

You can either order from the waitress or from the awesome computers at each table. We opted to order from the server.

We started with the Japanese Pickles- root vegetables in spicy vinaigrette , Sashimi Salad - root vegetables, red peppers, cabbage, red tuna slices, salmon slices, in vinaigrette sesame sauce, fresh and absolutely delectable, Salmon kebab- 3 tempura Salmon kebabs in Teriyaki sauce which was crunchy and delicious and the Gyoza-. 3 dumplings each filled with different stuffings of shrimps and sweet potato.

Our main dishes-  3 delicious hand rolls with fresh salmon, crispy and appetizing. Salmon skin roll- so good we just couldn't get enough ! Trio Fish- Salmon, tuna, white fish, wrapped with avocado , so good and unique! Special Smoked Salmon- which melted in our mouths, and the Combination for 2 which consisted of : 8 pieces of Spicy Tuna with cucumber and carrots, 8 pieces of avocado, cucumber, and shiitake, 4 pieces of Futomaki Surimi, avocado,cucumber and chives, 8 pieces of Maki Knafiu with seabass, and 4 nigiri salmon with tamago, shrimps and tuna - pure perfection and just the right amount!

                                                                  Boutique Sushi

Dessert- Little Switzerland- chocolate meringue with pecans, mascarpone cream, with crispy bitter chocolate and a drizzle of white chocolate and  the Creme Brulee-. Both deserts were outstanding!

YOKO SUSHI is a fun, cozy little sushi restaurant with a wonderful staff, scrumptious sushi and located at one of the most coolest areas in the cities!!  YOKO SUSHI - Florentin st 5
