Your complete guide to Yokomo — the menu, the story, and how to bring its bold fusion to your next event through SIFU Hibachi & Sushi Catering.
Hibachi, Sushi & Dominican Fusion Catering · RI, MA & CT
On Elmwood Avenue in Providence, Yokomo does something you won't find anywhere else in Rhode Island: it wraps Dominican soul inside Japanese technique and turns it into one loud, beautiful, unforgettable menu. Fried salami, fried cheese, sweet plantain and chimichurri — rolled, fried, and dialed all the way up.
This guide covers everything worth knowing about Yokomo — what to order, the family behind it, and how you can add Yokomo's fusion to a SIFU hibachi or sushi catering order for your own party.
About Yokomo — Two Cultures on Every Plate
Yokomo is a family-run restaurant on Providence's Elmwood Avenue. Its name plays on "yo como" — "I eat" in Spanish — and the concept is exactly what it sounds like: two food cultures that were never supposed to meet, cooked by people who take both seriously.
As the team puts it: "It's not fusion; it's blending cultures and collaborating."
Providence Monthly agreed. In a 2025 "Food Bites" feature, the magazine described the Dominican roll as "sweet, salty, crisp, creamy — umami dialed up with a Caribbean sass," and closed with a line that sums the place up: "the city suddenly feels deliciously unique again."

The Menu — What to Order
Yokomo's kitchen balances Caribbean heat against Japanese precision — sweet against salty, crisp against creamy — until it tastes like it always belonged together.
Signature fusion rolls
Live PVD Roll — steak, chicken, fried cheese, cream cheese, sweet plantain, fried. The one everyone posts.
Yokomo Roll — chicken tempura, bacon, cream cheese, sweet plantain. A house favorite.
Dominican Roll — fried salami, fried cheese, sweet plantain. Sweet, salty, crisp — umami with Caribbean sass.
Braza Roll — shrimp tempura, sweet plantain, avocado, cream cheese, eel sauce, fried golden outside.
Lobster Steak — lobster, steak, avocado, sweet plantain, chimichurri. Land and sea, dressed.
Beyond the rolls
Fresh traditional sushi & sashimi
Hibachi & teriyaki plates — chicken, steak, shrimp, scallops, served with fried rice, vegetables, and salad
Dominican & house fried rice
Garlic noodles (a most-ordered favorite), dumplings, spring rolls, crab rangoon
