Sushi & Bowl in York

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.

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

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 .

My good lady and myself drop in on a whim whilst on holiday. The venue is quite small with 5 or 6 tables and benches which could sit six at a pinch. So if you're a couple be prepared to share your table a la Wagamama. The menu has a comprehensive menu of various sushi accompanied by photographs and descriptions. The photographs proved helpful when asking help/ordering as English is definitely not the native tongue of what seems to be a Japanese family run operation. All food is prepared fresh in the open kitchen in front of you and cannot be faulted. We had the gyoza and softshell crab to start. The crab was a standout dish in a sea of quality. We then order a large selection of mixed sushi, all of which were freshly made in front of us. Service was polite and helpful. They operate a push button system to get attention. Overall a marvelous authentic menu and a wonderfully evening Cost was around £75 for the two of us, this included two or three Japanese beers and we did get a bit carried away, ordering additional sushi. Rice and noodle bowls are also on offer at around the £13 mark. From what we saw these would be a meal by itself. I really can't recommend this restraint highly enough

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!

Visited this with three friends on 20 August on their recommendation, and this was the best sushi I've had in York in years. Reasonably priced, and delicious sushi and sashimi. York has been crying out for an amazing sushi restaurant for years. Menu is extensive, so lots to choose from. Plus, being a small restaurant, food service was really quick. Well worth a visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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

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.

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.

My partner is a sushi lover and spotted this place, so we went for our lunch during our weekend visit to York and have to say we were both very impressed. The food was first rate, the wasabi prawns were excellent and the pork was awesome. The service was excellent all the staff were very pleasant and more than happy to answer questions about menu item. Highly recommended and well worth a visit

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

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

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!

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!

The food was good but I was not expecting a 12% service charge. I asked the waiter if it was optional and he said it was not, so forced to pay for it. I was not told about it and it was not visible on the menu.

best ramen I've had in york hands down. sushi was also delicious but the ramen really was the star of the show. broth was super flavour as we're the toppings. serving sizes were also perfect. Will 100% order from here again

I ordered a set of sushi, and picked it up at the restaurant, of course not the same level as in Ukraine, but one of the best in England, Philadelphia is great, did I order a second time, yes!! I recommend! There is not much space in the establishment, but the staff is very friendly and it smells great.

We had a delivery from this place a couple of times. The food is amazing and priced pretty well. Will definitely use again. Though last time I wanted to order delivery wasn't available which was a shame as this place is amazing.

Had a takeaway for our short getaway in York. One of the best sushi i have in the UK

I never usually write reviews but I felt the need to come on here and share that after eating at Sushi and Bowl yesterday, where we had to pay a mandatory 12.5% service charge that was not clearly labelled and we were given tepid tap water to drink along with our fairly average food, the whole experience ended up being even more unpleasant when I left the restaurant and came down with a very violent case of food poisoning. I do not have any allergies and am not a fussy eater or anything so I can definitely say it was food poisoning. I definitely will not be returning.

Melt in your mouth tuna sashimi.

The most amazing Japanese food. Service was fantastic, waitress was so helpful and kind and the food....Wow!!! Can't recommend enough!!!

Really lovely little restaurant. Great food, very friendly staff.

Overall lovely place, staff couldn't have been more attentive. Not super expensive and very clean good quality food. Would definitely go again.

I were passing by on a day out in York and came across this place. Having done ok Michelin star awarded restaurants we had high expectations. They did not disappoint at all. The service was absolutely amazing with being seated straight away and looked after throughout the meal.

Some of the best sushi I have ever had, very fresh and delicious. The sashimi was gorgeous! It is a bit pricey, but totally worth it. Taking 1 star off only because there is a mandatory 12% service charge and I strongly disapprove of forced tipping.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday and thought it was really good food and service. Went for the sushi set menu (number 3) which had 20 pieces which was more than enough for two of us.

Popped in for lunch and we were greeted so warmly. The food was so fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We will be back!

The food was really good. I have been to here twice and the experience was still amazing like that

Our waitress Raj was fantastic, she was attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and super authentic Japanese. Great experience, would 100% recommend. Thank you x

Amazing sushi, impeccable service. The best version of everything you already knew with additional, original options. Every dish was served with well-deserved pride.

Amazing food and very fresh. Very inviting inside and attentive servers. It’s a small restraunt but the way it’s laid out makes it feel private from other guests. 100% will go again and again

We only ordered some takeaway miso soups. The soups were tasty and quite large, which we were pretty happy with, but we found a one inch piece of plastic from the packaging inside the soup. I didn't see it at first and almost swallowed it.

How anyone could say this place is meagre and overpriced is BEYOND ME!!! This place is amazing. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced for Japanese food. It's nothing like YO SUHSI -- which IS overpriced, often not good quality and keeps getting higher. The quality is SO good and fresh here. The place is very small, but very cute. Yet the menu is pretty extensive. I had their crunchy salmon roll - 8 large pieces and it was under £9. It was the best Sushi I have had in a long time and the staff were lovely too. I think this is my new favourite place!!!

The sushi was absolutely delicious, it was fresh and tasty. Would really reccomend. Delivery took an hour and a half but it didn’t matter as all our dishes were served cold.

Yeah great addition to yorks resturants, if you like sushi this is worth a visit.

My girlfriend and I came here for lunch and had the most amazing sushi (California Maki) and Ramen (tonkastu) perfect for a cold winters day. Also, the staff serving were lovely, definitely coming back soon!

Absolutely stunning sushi, best that I've had with my partner. Need to order in plenty of advance though as it took 2 hours to arrive from point of order

Ordered a couple of sushi sets for takeaway and they were delightful - lovely and fresh and well packed. Super tasty. We will be back for more and are definitely wanting to visit the place when in town.

First time at this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The staff were friendly, helpful and solicitous of our well being. Varied menu with lots to choose from. We ordered a variety of dishes to the table and all were delicious. Clean plates all round.

Theo driver delivery wrong. He said the box broke and delivery less food.

Perfect sushi, so fresh! ❤️ good portions and very tasty, quick delivery even on a Sunday.

Best sushi and ramen ever! I love everything

100% recommend! We ordered different dishes (sushi, dumplings, udon noodles with prawns and poke bowl) and all were amazing! ☺️ Staff are also very nice! Lovely place with great service 😊

Had dinner here for my husband's birthday. The food was delicious! The service is quick and the overall experience is outstanding. Superb sushi, very fresh and the fish was perfect. If you're close to York come to this restaurant if you wish for a authentic Japanese food experience.

What an absolute gem of a place. A fabulous menu of sushi, sashimi, noodles, tempura etc., perfectly delivered and such welcoming staff. I can't wait for an excuse to revisit.

I don't usually leave reviews , but this place is amazing. The best sushi i ever had in York! We ordered plenty different rolls and every single one was spot on!

I love your sushi, it is some of the best I have ever tasted! The salmon crunch is amazing and tastes so fresh. We drove all the way from leeds to have your sushi as we were craving it! Very delicious and great customer service.

Food was absolutely delicious, everything tasted so fresh. The service was quick. Would recommend.

Ordered it as a take away and did not disappoint! Food was lovely and fresh, delivered perfectly. Plus added some sweets together with my order.🥹💗 Next time I need to go there in person!

I ordered platter A, quality was outstanding. Very delicious food, tasted very fresh.

Would have been 5* but not enough soya sauce
