"The rice had the same consistency as discount super market sushi."
"Considering the price though (£18) I would have expected fresher fish."
"Definitely not worth the price!"
"The food is very poor for the price. It's sushi for people who had never had good sushi - produce wasn't fresh."

"The Katsu curry and Beef teriyaki is so small it can hardly feed a child."

"Worst Customer Service Experience! There was about 5-6 floor staff and most of them were chatting to each other for ages not paying attention to the customers."
"Service from the staff was absolutely shocking."
"Waited 50 minutes for food to arrive. Staff not very helpful or apologetic."
Price
Pros:
"Amazing place to get sushi and a real bargain with the eat out for longer promotion."
"Food was delicious as always and it was blue Monday so a really wide selection of dishes were three pounds each!"
"Green Wednesday £2.30 per dish! Great pumpkin katsu curry as always."
"Yo! can be a bit expensive but they frequently do deals like Blue Monday where every plate is £2.50."
"There were several things on the 99p Menu offering fantastic value."
"Food definitely worth the money!"
"Staff are very friendly and food well priced!"
Cons:
"Rather overpriced for how small the portions are."
"Seriously overpriced!"
"Nice sushi, but way over priced for what it is."
"So the food was ok, very small portions and very expansive. Not worth it."
"Very small portions and prices are high for such portions."
"It’s also super expensive!"
"Their dishes are generally way too expensive in comparison to other japanese or chinese takeaways on the streets but it's understandable because it's in a shopping mall and also a very well known brand."
Atmosphere & Experience
Pros:
"The restaurant is very clean and pretty."
"Nice atmosphere, I really recommend for if you have some spare time and want to experience something fun and different."
"It's one of my favourite restaurants, because they don't rush you at all and the staff are attentive enough, but without feeling like that they're constantly in your face."
"Fantastic atmosphere, would highly recommend."
"If you're looking for a place to sit and eat while watching life go by and people walking past then this is a nice place to do so."
"They are playful, great sense of humour and very very relax atmosphere."
"This is a great place to spend some time with friends and even to go alone for a snack."
Cons:
"Am a regular of Yo Sushi and after COVID the removal of the conveyor choice of food has removed a lot of the fun and atmosphere."
"Hygiene is a massive issue, as other reviewers have noted."
"Our table and the small soy plates were dirty when we came. a lot of dust. very unhygienic."
"Food mediocre, and expensive. Atmosphere nonexistent."
"The atmosphere was so nice and I will definitely go back again."
"A depressing fall from grace for a previously super offering."
"Used to have this place at 4 stars, the atmosphere with the noisy table buzzers and joyous staff used to make it a place to visit for me, it felt authentic and fun. Now, the buzz has gone."
Ordering System
Pros:
"They are using a traffic light system to warn you when your food arrives etc."
"They have a new online ordering system at the table that makes ordering and paying a lot more efficient and smooth."
"Once seated you scan a QR code, order and pay.. food is delivered along the belt."
"You can pay via your phone."
"Love the post covid system. Only order what you want and can keep track of what you are spending."
"Really like the traffic light table system so it's easy to see when the light goes green it's your food."
"You order from your table - by scanning a QR code and you can pay via your phone."
Cons:
"Good food. Having to use a phone instead of having a belt to pick from is nuisance and not worth the bother."
"No revolving sushi anymore. You have to order everything and it's sent to you on the belt."
"Yo does not even know how to cook the RICE for sushi. It was way too sticky which was very disturbing and it was not sauced."
"New ordering system is not user friendly and we couldn't get it to work on the three phones we were carrying."
"You no longer pick the sushi off the conveyor belt. Instead you now have to order it online using a confusing menu and wait for it to be made."
"The new mobile ordering system is awful. It's very unfriendly to new people and to people who want to enjoy eating slowly at the restaurant."
"You order your food only over an app which is quite limiting, if your phone dies or you don't have a newer model sadly it doesn't seem like you could eat here."
