From the fried rolls everyone photographs to the hibachi combos, the garlic noodles, and the cocktails — here's the full tour of Yokomo's menu, and how to bring the best of it to your next event through SIFU catering.
Hibachi, Sushi & Dominican Fusion Catering · RI, MA & CT
Yokomo puts it plainly on their own sign: the best traditional and fusion sushi, hibachi, and more. Or, as they say on social: not just sushi — this is Yokomo. Asian technique, a bold Latin twist, one Elmwood Avenue kitchen turning both into a menu that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else in Rhode Island.
It's a big menu, and if you're new to it, that's a good problem to have. Here's how to order — and which dishes travel beautifully when you want them at your own party.
Start Here: The Appetizers
Yokomo's starters are where the "and more" begins.
Crab rangoon — regulars single these out as different from the usual: bigger flavor, less filler, worth ordering even if you always skip rangoon
Dumplings — the single most-ordered item on the menu, and for good reason
Sushi pizza — a crispy rice base loaded like a pizza; the kind of thing you order once out of curiosity and then every time after
Spring rolls, fried calamari, coconut shrimp, rock shrimp, and chicken wings round out a starter list built for grazing
The Signature House Rolls
This is Yokomo's calling card: fried, plantain-driven rolls that stack flavors most sushi bars would never dare to.
Live PVD Roll — steak, chicken, fried cheese, cream cheese, sweet plantain, fried golden. The signature. Diners call it out of this world, and it's the most-photographed roll in the city.
Braza Roll — shrimp tempura, sweet plantain, avocado, cream cheese, eel sauce, fried crisp outside
Yokomo Roll — chicken tempura, bacon, cream cheese, sweet plantain
Dominican Roll — Dominican salami, fried cheese, sweet plantain: sweet, salty, crisp, creamy, all in one bite
Elmwood Roll — steak, shrimp tempura, avocado
Narragansett — lobster meat, shrimp tempura, avocado, sweet plantain
Notice the thread running through all of them: sweet plantain, fried cheese, and the fryer. That's the Yokomo signature — Caribbean sweetness and crunch married to Japanese roll technique.
For the Purists: Traditional Rolls & Sashimi
Not everyone at the table wants a fried roll, and Yokomo has you covered. Expect the classics done fresh — Dragon, Rainbow, California, Philadelphia, spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura rolls, plus traditional sushi and sashimi. There's genuinely something here for the purist and the thrill-seeker at the same table.
Specials Plates: The Lobster Steak
If you want the dish that shows off the whole concept, it's the Lobster Steak — lobster, steak, avocado, sweet plantain, and chimichurri. Land and sea, dressed in Caribbean-Japanese flavor. Reviewers reach for it right after the Live PVD Roll.
Hibachi & Teriyaki
Yokomo's kitchen turns out hibachi and teriyaki plates too:
Single and combination hibachi — steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, and combos like Steak & Shrimp, Steak & Scallops, or Shrimp & Scallops
Teriyaki — chicken, steak, or salmon
Every hibachi plate comes with fried rice, vegetables, mushroom soup, and salad — a full meal, not just a protein.
Fried Rice & Noodles
The supporting cast that quietly steals the table:
Garlic noodles — the second most-ordered item on the whole menu; silky, savory, addictive
Dominican & house fried rice — the same two-cultures logic, in rice form
Chicken & shrimp noodles — tender chicken and shrimp over stir-fried vegetables
Wash It Down
Yokomo runs a real cocktail bar, and it's not an afterthought. The coco margaritas and mojitos get called out by name in reviews as some of the best around. Save room for a drink.
A First-Timer's Order
Not sure where to start? Try this: dumplings and crab rangoon to open, the Live PVD Roll and a Dominican Roll for the full fusion effect, garlic noodles on the side, and a coco margarita to tie it together.
Bring the Best of It to Your Event
Here's the part that matters if you're planning a party: Yokomo's boldest dishes travel. Because the signature rolls are fried, they hold beautifully — which is exactly why they anchor the SIFU × Yokomo catering add-on, alongside garlic noodles, Dominican fried rice, plantains, and the starters.
