Sushi & Bowl in York

While I can't speak about any of the packaged options, being in York for 3 years, this was the best meal I have had in the city. From the music and ambience to the service and food, it was perfection. Would recommend to anyone coming for any meal, lunch or dinner. The chicken yakitori in particular was a highlight, with the chicken practically melting in your mouth, and tasting amazing.

I found it by chance and went in. While ordering, I was surprised to be told that other than sushi, including miso soup, a la carte dishes, fried dishes, and rice bowl dishes could not be made because the chef was not present. He was supposed to be at work at 11 o'clock, but he still didn't show up for 40 minutes. . Isn't there anyone else? This poor planning is astounding. While I was doing that, the cook came to work and took my order. The tuna sashimi was a bit dull and dark in color and had no fresh taste. The Onari-san came out very thin, but the taste was average. To put it bluntly, the miso was so salty that it got extremely salty, probably because I added too much or added salt on top. . It was a surprise. I already knew at this point that Miyomimane was making Japanese food. There is no Japanese person who tastes this kind of salty miso soup! ! I love miso so it was really disappointing! The gyudon was topped with a large amount of spicy pickles (probably to reduce the amount of meat), and it didn't taste very good. I ordered a spider roll, and the sauce tasted like Chinese food. Maybe the sauce is a Chinese sauce. . If this is what you call Japanese food, it would be much better to go to a Chinese restaurant and eat Chinese food. A 12% tip was added to the bill. I go to York often, but I never go here again.

absolutely blown away by this takeaway! thought I'd try something new, I had the prawn Yakiudon. it's a hug in a bowl! and I normally hate any sort of veg but it was delicious! will definitely be back.

Noodles in Ramen were overcooked

Went in today around half 4 shown to a table told to ring bell when ready to order. Rang bell orderd food think I got one word from the waitress at this point food just put down in front with no interaction what so ever. No check back food quite nice and flavoursum but half way though my ramen i found a long black hair pulled it out my mouth and just thought these things happen no point saying anything as I was more then half way though and don't think I would of got much out of them if I did mention it. Came to paying and a 12%service charge was added to the bill.I thought what service!!! There literally wasn't any! Asked for it to be taken off but she said she can't take it off? No option i dont think this is allowed!At this point I'd had enough paid for my bill which was over 50pounds for one person with the ADDED SERVICECHARGE YOU HAVE TO PAY!. Gave her 60 pounds and gave me the wrong change to make matters worse. I won't be returning food nice but your taking the mickky with the service charge. Still no reply around the issue with the service charge you can't make a customer do this I feel scammed!!!!!!

Recently went on a holiday to York and found our way here by complete accident but enjoyed every second, the service was immaculate and the atmosphere was incredible, the food was easy to order and tasted incredible, Our table had Soy Sauce and Wasabi allowing for us to easily season our meals. Would definitely go back if i end up back in York

Residente de York y yo siempre hemos tenido la intención de comer aquí, pero nunca llegamos a ello. Teniendo un estado de ánimo particularmente bajo y en necesidad de una solución caminé a través de esas puertas de sushi del cielo. El restaurante no es enorme, lo que aumenta el ambiente. La comida es absolutamente fresca y deliciosa. Preparado y cocinado por encargo. Servicio, el chef me sirvió mi comida que personalmente ME ENCANTÓ. Higiene, 10 / 10. El repartidor entró y puso su bolsa en una mesa. Jefe, molesto salió de la cocina abierta para decirle que sacara la bolsa de la mesa. NUNCA he presenciado esto en ningún otro establecimiento de comida. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 Sí, sé que esta es una crítica larga pero 1. Hablo y 2. La joya vale la pena así que, finalmente, trato de evitar los cafés / restaurantes de cadena y York tiene una gran cantidad de increíbles restaurantes. Sushi and Bowl lleva bien el sombrero.

Incredible food, top service. This is definitely the best place to get sushi in York!

Got takeout from here a couple of times, really tasty and reasonably priced!

Ramen is bland. The egg inside is surprisingly not a soft-boiled egg.

Worst sushi I have ever had, not good quality, falls apart and the flavoured rolls were also bland. The bill came to over £50 for 2 of us which is expensive for lunch and way more than we usually pay for sushi which is better quality, then they add on a %12 service charge, we asked them to remove it and they refused. I can’t understand how this place has got a high rating on Google.

Fantastic little restaurant in York. Food was awesome, well presented and delicious to boot. Highly recommended!!!

Easily the best pork belly ramen I've had in York so far, and I've been to a few places around York now. The meat was a little dry BUT, the broth was one of the best I've ever had and the noodles tasted of real meat as well, very good bowl.

Visité aquí con mi familia para los 18 años de mi hermana, solo nosotros 5 y todos los grandes fanáticos de la comida japonesa. Es un pequeño restaurante lindo en una calle de York, cerca de algunos restaurantes de cadena más grande que atraen a masas de gente, sin embargo, Sushi & Bowl tenía un puñado de invitados del restaurante. La bienvenida fue tan cálida, nos mostraron a nuestro asiento y nos dieron menús. Elegimos edamame, pollo gyoza, plato para compartir sushi maxi maki, ramen tonkatsu y plato de fideos de gamba. Todos servimos rápido y sabía increíble que estábamos todos sorprendidos. Wasabi, salsa de soja y jengibre encurtido en las mesas, así como palillos. Se proporcionaron tenedores para nuestros usuarios menos experimentados de palillos, y un lindo palillos para niños para mi hija. Fabuloso restaurante, increíble personal chefs y camareras, los mejores deseos para todos ustedes. Volveremos de nuevo!

Beautiful food, amazing and friendly service, great priced. Wonderful overall, will be back soon we loved it that much.

Excellent 🤩 Spicy salmon roll 🥢

Highly reccomend this sushi restaurant, it is our favourite in York and outside of London! Sashimi and sushi is just amazing quality. Definitely pop in when you are in York!

Really high quality food in a very cute restaurant. Very high quality food and the fish is very fresh and smooth quality. I had salmon and tuna maki. Non-fish foods are also great if you’re not a sushi lover, beef yakisoba went down a treat

Good food, good environment, friendly staff

The sushi tastes like it was bought from a shady guy in an alley way. sticky, thick seaweed wrapped around questionably fresh ingredients. The noodles I had were better, but still tasted like I was eating dish water mixed with a lime soap. The only decent thing I got from here was the mochi, and that wasn't even made by this restaurant!

La primera vez aquí , conocimos este lugar y decidimos probarlo , estaba bastante oscuro por dentro sobre todo en las mesas y era difícil leer un menú con solo una linterna . El servicio fue genial y la comida llegó a buen tiempo. Poco decepcionado con el tamaño de la porción y diría que era bastante caro en general , también era extraño tener el té de burbujas de una especie de botella de agua pequeña . Estoy de acuerdo con las críticas más bajas sobre el ramen pegados entre sí, pero no era un problema - solo una mezcla y era todo bueno , sé que he puesto algunos negativos aquí, pero mi 4 estrellas se basa en el sabor , servicio , presentación de alimentos y la experiencia general que pensamos que era bueno en general .

Johnny was the best chef I’ve ever had the privilege of being served by. His food was not only exquisite, but had such good service from his waiters that I couldn’t quite believe! The price you pay seems like 10% of what you should be paying for food and service like this- anyone who’s visiting York should absolutely come here for the best most authentic sushi you have ever had

Freshly made 🍱 sushi rolls and Ramen 🍜 amazing food Highly recommend in this coming Christmas to visit sushi and bowl 😊😊😊🥰 💕

Food was fine but delivery was awful. I called Sushi & Bowl at 17:30 who said the driver had left at 17:15, 5 mins after the time I was given for delivery. Shouldn't charge a delivery fee if they don't intend to be on time.

Newbies to restaurant sushi, followed recommendation and could not have been more happy with the whole experience. Helpful staff, prompt service and tasty food. Little gem in York centre.

it's the best sushi I've ever tasted since I've lived in England, the sushi is always fresh and always great! it's my favorite restaurant!

Qué experiencia increíble, personal súper atento, comida absolutamente preciosa el plato de sushi Fuji fue sensacional recomendaría a cualquiera visitar y disfrutar de este encantador restaurante

Service let down the venue. Waiter were more focused on the kitchen then the customers and still charge 12.5 % without asking if the food is okay. But suppose we went to eat and the food was decent.

Great Food, Polite and friendly staff.

I tried their spicy shrimp rolls and miso soup, and they were absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced. However, the experience was dampened by something I noticed when one of the guys behind the bar was picking his nose. Thankfully, he wasn’t the person who prepared our food, but it was still an unpleasant first impression. It’s a shame because the food itself was fantastic!

We had dinner here and it was so brilliant. Everyone was very friendly and we were able to get seated straight away. The food was so delicious and really felt like a good value for money. I will definitely be returning!

I am confused. The portion of ginger and wasabi is so small (check the picture), is it should be enough for 2 people? It was a lot of soy sauce, I do not understand why (why 3 bags?). The order had too much cutlery when the portion was just for two people. How do you spend money? This is crazy. If that was my business I would check my coworkers how they organise food for Deliveroo. The way how the roll was rolled and the cutting of the roll was strange. I will say that the flavour was good. But the quality of services is very low. I would suggest making the portion of the ginger and wasabi bigger, to practice cutting the roll (it was different sizes and squashed), check your knife to be sharp enough. So messy. I may order again, as the flavour saved your dish, surprising. I know that yesterday was very busy and it is not your fault that I was waiting for 1:30 hours for my order from Deliveroo. I would rate the order 3 stars.

Excellent sushi. Great vibes. Very authentic experience. Will definitely come again!

the courier completely ignored my order note

Me and my son had a blast time. Amazing food maki were our favourite. The staff were super polite and caring. Atmosphere was great

I would give it 5 stars, it’s just the boba that tasted bad. The sushi tastes amazing, and the ramen was only a bit disappointing as there wasn’t that much chicken given. The green tea was good.

Good size portion. Spicy shrimp roll and crispy chicken very tasty.

Superb fresh sushi, authentic atmosphere. Would advise booking in advance.

Nothing to complain about! First time visiting and was very impressed with the food and service.

Deja el mejor sushi que he comido en York. El sashimi de salmón fue increíble. Servicio excelente y muchas ganas de volver a visitar

Very tasty, fresh sushi. Large portions and very high quality. Very friendly and fast service from start to finish and comfortable seating in a nice little booth.

Amazing experience, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was divine. 10/10 will be coming back

Really poor quality sushi , couldn’t finish it

What an amazing little place! The salmon sushi platter was amazing and the prawn tempura was so good I would go back again for that alone! My partner and I normally don’t return to restaurants unless we really enjoy the food & the atmosphere and we will definitely be back again. The service was prompt and friendly, the sushi chef himself very polite & inviting. It is such a small place but I love that it has that independent business charm and I can’t wait to try more of the sushi. Thank you so much Sushi & Bowl! 💖

This place is amazing, the food is delicious and service is quick and friendly. This has to be the best Japanese food I’ve tried .

Mi buena señora y yo nos dejamos caer por capricho mientras estamos de vacaciones. El lugar es bastante pequeño, con 5 o 6 mesas y bancos que podrían sentar seis en un pellizco. Así que si sois pareja, preparaos para compartir vuestra mesa a la Wagamama. El menú cuenta con un completo menú de sushi acompañado de fotografías y descripciones. Las fotografías resultaron útiles cuando se pidió ayuda / pedidos, ya que el inglés definitivamente no es la lengua materna de lo que parece ser una operación familiar japonesa. Toda la comida se prepara fresca en la cocina abierta frente a usted y no se puede fallar. Teníamos el cangrejo gyoza y softshell para empezar. El cangrejo fue un plato destacado en un mar de calidad. Luego pedimos una gran selección de sushi mixto, todos recién hechos frente a nosotros. El servicio fue educado y servicial. Manejan un sistema de pulsadores para llamar la atención. En general, un menú auténtico maravilloso y una velada maravillosa El costo fue de alrededor de £ 75 para nosotros dos, esto incluía dos o tres cervezas japonesas y nos dejamos llevar un poco, pidiendo sushi adicional. Los tazones de arroz y fideos también se ofrecen a alrededor de £ 13. Por lo que vimos esto sería una comida por sí misma. Realmente no puedo recomendar esta restricción lo suficientemente alto

No frills but so good: relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff and delicious food. It all felt quite authentic, given it’s in the centre of York. Thank you so much.

Really enjoyable meal. Beautiful freshly made sushi.

The food is so good and the service wad amazing, the staff are really nice and generous!

Absolutely one of my favourite Japanese places to eat! I’ve been to Japan and this definitely reminds me of the food 👏 The staff are so sweet as well and it’s very relaxing to eat here whether as a group, couple or alone.

Best sushi in uk!! We ordered 3 continues nights dinner from this little restaurant while we stayed in York! Sushi tasted like Japan made100%!!! Soft shell crab was good,, chicken skewers were yummy! Nice packing as well. Wish they have this restaurant in London !!!

Japanese classic, healthy and delicious.

Had lunch there on a day out in York. The ingredients were really fresh for an independent restaurant like this one and tasted very good. The choices were adequate, dishes well presented thanks to the chefs. Services was faultless, would highly recommend the Sashimi rice bowl!

Visité esto con tres amigos el 20 de agosto por recomendación de ellos, y este fue el mejor sushi que he probado en York en años. A un precio razonable, y delicioso sushi y sashimi. York ha estado pidiendo a gritos un increíble restaurante de sushi durante años. El menú es extenso, así que un montón para elegir. Además, al ser un restaurante pequeño, el servicio de comida fue muy rápido. Vale la pena visitarlo.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sushi&Bowl has always been our go-to place for fresh, delicious sushi through Deliveroo, but recently I decided to visit the restaurant in person to pick up some salmon sashimi for a homemade sushi night . I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and even offered me a seat while I waited—such a nice touch! The sushi we've had from here has always been top-notch. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the rice is perfectly soft—unlike other places where the rice can be hard and stale. The care they put into their food really shines through in every bite. After this visit, I'm looking forward to coming back with my partner to dine in and enjoy the experience fully. Sushi&Bowl is truly a gem in York!

We are visiting from out of town, and craved sushi; saw the reviews and walked over. It's a lovely place, very friendly, although strangely loud soft rock playing constantly. Regarding the food... Perhaps it was an off night, but the fish had a texture that I associate with not being as fresh as I would like it to be. I kept wishing it was cooked, not raw, and of course that wasn't an option. Ahh well.

A genuine five star establishment. I've never been anywhere so good. The food is extremely high quality, well priced, the service is incredible, staff are kind, place is gorgeous as well as perfectly clean and the atmosphere is warm, comfortable and friendly. I'll be going again, without a shadow of a doubt

Perfect delivery time and friendly, polite driver

A small, perfectly formed restaurant for wonderful sushi in York city centre.

We needed to stop and grab a bite to eat and even though we hadn't booked, they gave us an excellent booth, great service and lovely fresh and delicious food. We will definitely go again now we have found this gem!

Lovely staff, clean, busy, centre of town. Not expensive, good service and delicious food. Gluten free options pretty good, gluten free soy sauce available. Vegetable tempura was perfectly crisp and done with lots of variety and colour. All in all a great tourist experience for York which can be hit & miss.

Small Japanese restaurant with limited seating area and large menu. Worth the try

Wonderful little place with great quality dishes.

Mi pareja es una amante del sushi y vio este lugar, así que fuimos a comer durante nuestra visita de fin de semana a York y tenemos que decir que ambos estábamos muy impresionados. La comida era de primera, las gambas wasabi eran excelentes y el cerdo era impresionante. El servicio fue excelente todo el personal fue muy agradable y más que feliz de responder preguntas sobre el elemento del menú. Muy recomendable y bien merece una visita

Amazing find for some lunch on a weekend away, Sushi was all freshly prepared and tasted awesome the char sui pork is highly recommend. All staff were very friendly and welcoming and helped make an already amazing experience even better, highly recommend.

Kindest staff so far after 3 days in York. Most attentive service. Upstairs very quiet, comfortable and clean dining area.

Great service. The food was amazing.

Deceiving outside! It’s quaint inside. Food, despite being slammed with Uber eat orders, was served to us in a timely manner. The food was great portioned, and everything tasted fresh and soft. We liked the sashimi platters the most! Would recommend for a reasonable price.

Everything was perfect: atmosphere servise and the sushi, but the poke was terrible

Good food. Friendly service. Recommend

Delicious salmon poke and the service was quick and efficient as well

I never normally write reviews but this place needs recognition. Came here with my dad and so glad we decided to come. Food was gorgeous and the atmosphere was amazing. Servers were so lovely and kind. Definitely a place I'll eat again. Prices were decent and I'd expect to pay loads more for authentic sushi like we had. Quite literally the best experience I've had; better than and cheaper than chains like YO!

I think this is the best Japanese restaurant in York. Authentic favor, friendly staffs.

A hurried lunch in between museums. Great service. Fresh, delicious udon noodles and poke bowl. Delicate peach-scented green tea. A steady stream of locals coming in to buy rice, wasabi and other staples. Delicious, thank you!

Im so glad this place opened near my work. The inside is lovely and they work well with the small space they have. The sushi is fresh and beautifully presented, including my favourite items that I don't see a lot of in the UK. The staff are kind and patient with me when I'm rushing around on my lunch break.

Really cool restaurant with a great atmosphere. Ordered tonkotsu ramen and some different sushi rolls, all were very nice and very high quality. The staff were also very friendly and added to the experience.

Lovely stuff and very tasty food, I'd recommend it to my friends 🫶🏻

didn't get half the order , rang restaurant admitted their mistake but refused to send rest of meal , forced to get onto just eat for refund but still waiting , rubbish service for a £50 order

Really great food, service and atmosphere. The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious!

The food was lovely and it arrived really fast. The service was amazing.

This restaurant deserves a 5-star review! The fish was fresh and all other plates were delicious. Service was great! They accommodate special requests and dietary restrictions. Even our 7-year-old said we should give them a 5 star review. She loved her maki rolls! We will def be going back.

Great food could not have asked for anything more other than a bigger appétite. Gorgeous Space and atmosphère, only downside was the cold from outside on occasion when the door was open. Service was good, a little busy but we for what was needed in the end. Would Come back again in the future.

Amazing Sushi Cake for a Memorable Birthday Surprise! I recently ordered a sushi cake for my sister's birthday, and I must say, it was absolutely fantastic! The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, exceeding all expectations. Not only was the taste exceptional, but the presentation was also top-notch. The cake came in a beautifully designed box, adding an extra touch of elegance to the overall experience. I highly recommend this sushi cake to anyone looking to surprise a sushi lover. It's a unique and creative gift that is sure to leave a lasting impression. I would also like to express my gratitude for the excellent service provided. From the ordering process to the delivery, everything was seamless and efficient. Thank you for making my sister's birthday celebration even more special. Overall, I cannot recommend this sushi cake enough. It's a delightful combination of taste and creativity that will surely delight any sushi enthusiast.

Nice fresh salmon, very nice bubble tea.

Absolutely incredible! I’ve had sushi all over world, including Japan and this is so authentic! Everything about this place is lovely! You must come!!

DELICIOUS food, and amazing service :) the vibe / atmosphere is also super cozy ❤️ Ontop of that, the food came quickly and straight from the kitchen! HIGHLY recommend ☺️

Very tasty food, both Sushi and Ramen. Lovely staff and great service

Excellent 10/10 - authentic sushi restaurant. I have been waiting for a sushi place like this to open in york . The prices varied depending on what you were ordering and the service was excellent . We will be back

Highly recommend for the freshest sushi around. We dined as a family of 4 and the service was efficient and we all loved our meals. There is lots of variety on the menu so we chose one of the platters and got the kids the chicken noodles 🍜 which they loved.

I’m a bit of a sushi snob and I can say that this place is really great! Fish is fresh and they have a good variety of other things on the menu. Staff are friendly and attentive. Reasonably priced and would go back again!

What a gem. Visited twice and had delivery too. The food is excellent, so fresh and authentic. Lovely atmosphere and helpful staff; can recommend and will be back.

Excellent food, excellent service, couldn't ask for a better sushi dining experience

Can't fault it, stunning food, nice relaxed atmosphere and good service.

Could not recommend this place enough! From of was fantastic! Service was excellent! A hidden gem! 10/10!!thank you so much

Live in York and went here for the first time for a late lunch on a wet Wednesday afternoon in March - between the two of us, we had some chicken gyoza, vegetable gyoza, a mixed sushi menu plus a Coke Zero each. The gyoza were lovely, much nicer than we have had at chains such as Wagamama; the sushi was really fresh and tasty, a noticeable step up from what we’ve had elsewhere. The bill came to £56, which wasn’t cheap but I think it was good value considering the quality of the food, the friendly service and the nice restaurant. Others have commented on the “hidden” service charge for sit-in orders but this was very clear and easy to spot. We shall definitely be back - there are loads of sushi options plus various appetisers, noodle dishes, ramen, poke bowls etc. on the menu so there’s something for everyone.

This place is my go to restaurant when I visit York, amazing fresh food, great staff, the perfect venue and the right atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Very nice decorations and food.

Very delicious and nice atmosphere!

been there few times. very good food, service and atmosphere! love it!

Staff is super friendly. The sushi was delicious!
