Food
I've been going to Yoko's for over 10 years and the smell of sizzling steam in the restaurant always took my breath away! Yoko's has the best sizzlers in town! The sizzler sauces, the meat, the veggies, the quality of cheese, the mustard and worcestershire sauce. Mmmmm!
Unlike Kobe's, Yoko's makes good on one of the main ingredients in their food - the sauces. They have a distinct flavor and tingle some far away corners of your tongue.

Menu variety
They've stuck to their original menu more or less. Everybody else who's come into the sizzler market has simply copied their menu. You can choose from a variety of soups, salads, sandwiches, mini meals, hot and cold beverages (no alcohol here) and of course, sizzlers.
They could've done with some alcohol though...beer at least!

Service
The waiters will help you with your options if you are a newbie. If not, you can always count on them being there for whatever you need. The only problem with Yoko's is that even on a weekday, there's a lot of waiting in the evenings. On weekends, you are sometimes told to wait for an hour...which is too much to wait really. This, coupled by the fact that you cannot make table reservations, is a big party pooper. I'd rather go somewhere else in tiems like these.

Ambiance
Yoko's everywhere has the nice not-too-dim, not-too-bright yellow lights. It's got a regular family place feel. Nothing exceptional. Unless you count the flavorful steam into ambiance :D

Value for money
With better food than Kobe's at cheaper rates and more experience than any sizzler joint in the country, this place is total VFM. A steak satellite will cost you Rs. 360, which is 50 bucks cheaper than Kobe's. (Sigh, I remember the times when Yoko's served sizzlers at 150 bucks. Those days are gone.)

Location
At so many places in Mumbai, you can always choose the one most convenient to you. Though the one at Santacruz still maintains the old charm of 10 yrs back.


And in conclusion...
The best sizzler joint in Mumbai. Go hog! And don't you dare share a sizzler!
