Mayo Cuisine. At one time I would have recommended Yoshino's, but unfortunately the cuisine has taken a bad turn. Rather than serving fresh traditional sushi, Yoshino has migrated more towards the 'extravaganza' rolls that are not authentic and not satisfying for true sushi lovers. Though mayonnaise is sometimes used sparingly and to good effect in Japanese cooking, Yoshino has added it, in quantity, to some of its sushi dishes. Avoid the scallops/hotate. Despite what it says on the menu, it is not fresh scallop. It is some kind of mayo seafood mess. Not good. Thinking that it was a different dish and that I had misordered, I ordered scallops a second time. I left the restaurant feeling awful after having consumed all that mayonaise. In the afternoon Yoshino's seems to turn into a fast-fried-food specialist, serving fried chicken and other non-Japanese food with stale sushi rotating on the conveyor belt. I'm still looking for a good authentic Japanese restaurant in Fresno. Yoshino's isn't it, which is too bad. I'd like to see Yoshino lay-off the mayo and cream cheese, focus on freshness and quality more. Right now, I can't recommend it at all.
