The rolls get the headlines, but Yokomo's bar might be the best-kept secret on Elmwood Ave. Here's what to drink — and how to bring that same energy to your own event.
Hibachi, Sushi & Dominican Fusion Catering · RI, MA & CT
Plenty of sushi spots treat the bar as an afterthought — a short list of sakes and a house margarita nobody remembers. Yokomo went the other way. The cocktail bar is spacious, well-stocked, and, judging by the way regulars talk about it, doing some of the most memorable work in the building.
If the food is Asian technique with a bold Latin twist, the drinks are too.
The Coco Margarita
Ask anyone what to order at the bar and the answer comes back fast: the coco margarita. Reviewers describe it as one of the best they've ever had — coconut-rich, balanced, and dangerously easy to reorder. It's the drink that turns a quick dinner into "let's stay for one more."
The Mojito
Right alongside it: the mojito. Bright, fresh, and mint-forward, it's the perfect foil for Yokomo's richer fried rolls — the acidity cuts straight through the sweet plantain and fried cheese and resets your palate for the next bite.
A Bar Built for the Occasion
The room matters as much as the menu. Yokomo's cocktail bar is roomy and well-appointed, with a sleek, modern feel that leans into date-night energy without losing the welcoming, family-friendly warmth of the rest of the restaurant. It's equally at home as a first stop before dinner or the reason you linger after.
Drinks That Actually Pair
This is where a real cocktail program earns its keep. Yokomo's fusion food is bold — sweet, fried, creamy, savory, often all at once — and the drinks are built to keep up:
Coco margarita with the fried signature rolls: coconut sweetness playing off caramelized plantain
Mojito with anything rich: mint and lime cutting through cream cheese and fried cheese
A cold beer or sake with the hibachi and teriyaki plates when you want something simpler
