Yokohama is a small jewel hidden in a strip-mall located across from BJ’s, on the edge of Moorestown. The ambiance is cozy and its cheerfulness is augmented by a brightly festooned Sushi bar which is a magnate for small children. The food is very good and the young staff pleasant and eager to please.

Although I am not a Sushi fan, my guests invariably indulge and rate the beautiful creations as excellent. I frequently find myself so seduced by the visual appeal of their fare that I sample the offerings. I must confess that the lovely tastes are gradually eroding my fear of uncooked seafood, and I forsee a time that I will order my own.

I particularly enjoy the Chicken Yakitori, small pieces on skewers with onions and green peppers. It is offered as both an appetizer and entrée, and with a small salad I find the lesser portion quite adequate for dinner, with a fringe benefit of very modest cost.

I find the most compelling merit of Japanese food is its contribution to healthy living . . . bread-free meals that are generally low in carbs and generous in vegetable content. It’s wonderful to retire in the evening feeling virtuous.

An unexpected little jewel in an unimpressive strip center.

Ben’s, this industrious young team has transformed the interior to a cheerful ambiance that improves the patron’s mood even before tasting the very nice food. The servers are eager to please, and the menu offers a wide choice both Sushi and cooked items. The entire experience is very pleasant.
