Yida Sushi in Islington

Charming, authentic sushi place with excellent service, delicious sushi and a carefully curated sake menu. Also very reasonably priced!

Some of the most amazing food and service i've ever had. the sushi is high quality and delicious, yet not over priced leaving you feeling full and content with out draining your bank account. whenever i'm in london i always make a point to come here.

Perhaps my favorite sushi joint in London. Utterly delicious, creative sushi, fresh and high quality fish, lovely service

Very good sushi especially the names and the crunchy ones are killer

So good would definitely visit again! Thank you ☺️

Delicious sushi, very friendly staff, fabulous mochi to top it off. Will be back!

The food was delicious and the service so attentive, decor feels very authentic. Overall really loved this place and will definitely be returning!

amazing food and service! so friendly and well priced

our most favourite sushi in London.

One of my favourite regular north London spots, the sushi is always very well-made and tasty, and the service is warm, friendly and quick. The prices are an absolute steal for the quality of the sushi they serve. And anywhere that sells Sapporo has my seal of approval!

Best Sushi I have tasted in a while. Will be back for sure.

Very good menu - everything was very tasty and the owner is very kind.

Such incredible service and high quality sushi! I had a wonderful meal. Ordered the seaweed salad, dragon roll and salmon sashimi. All incredibly fresh and delicious

Really impressed. Not the most appealing restaurant from the outside but the food is spot on. Little gem.

Great sushi, ordered the crunchy salmon roll twice! 5/5. Very friendly staff. Will be back!

Just WOW! Delicious sushi dishes, beautifully presented. Special mention for the green bean salad, dressed in an incredible sauce. Hand rolls were very good and overall the food was reasonably priced for the area. Highly recommended.

The food was fantastic, and a fair price for the quality of the ingredients and presentation of the dishes. I had the Set Meal B of tuna and salmon sushi and nigiri, and the mixed shrimp and veg tempura. I’ve knocked a star off for service because there’s no menu, you have to scan a QR code and browse it on your phone. Personal pet hate of mine. (I’m no technophobe having worked in IT for over 30 years, but sometimes a sheet of paper is the correct medium.) Table service was excellent and friendly once the order was placed.

Delicious food! Very friendly service

We tried this place for the first time on Deliveroo and it was absolutely delicious and fresh, a great find in the neighbourhood! I won’t go anywhere else for sushi now :)

Nice and quiet sushi place with fresh sashimi

Favourite sushi spot in London!

Amazing food and nice family own restaurant.

Hidden gem! Every dish from Yida was beautifully prepared and fresh. High quality sushi, sashimi and cooked dishes like tempura and agedashi tofu to name a few. There's a cute outdoor area which is nice to get some air in summer. Service is delightful and for Japanese cuisine which requires sushi grade fish and seafood, prices are very reasonable. Photos don't really do the food justice and because we were too busy tucking in, key dishes have not been captured...

Wonderful little find in Islington - fast service and food is both delicious and great value for money. Would defiantly recommend

A lovely place with caring owners and friendly waiters. The food was very nice but the tables seemed to be too close to each other and that’s why it was a bit loud. Other than that, a nice restaurant to have a dinner in, definitely recommend!

Nice food and super helpful staff.

Great spot for sushi, super friendly staff and lovely little garden view out the back

Wonderful as always. We would have taken pictures of the food but by now there are only empty plates. Soz.

Best Sushi in London. After many visits it's a must try - lovely food and lovely people! Way better than anything you'll have in central London and great value !

Amazing! Fresh fish, great quality, highly recommended!

Simple menu, limited seating capacity. Friendly staff.

Sushi was delicious and fresh. Service was great and very friendly. Will definitely be going back

Really delicious food, lovely staff, they were super accommodating and make some tweaks to the dishes to make them vegan. Amazing spread

Daffter sooooovelg,have to come back and snuggle

Such good sushi - will defo come back

I loved this restaurant. Cute atmosphere, friendly staff and quality sushi for reasonable prices.

Best Japanese in London. The sushi is epic alongside all the other dishes. 10/10

Fantastic food and at a good price!

Love this spot! Nice, friendly, local sushi spot. It’s hard to find this quality of sushi at a very reasonable price in London. Been twice now, will be back!

This place is fantastic. Great value for money. Tasty sushi

Melt in your mouth sashimi, light crispy tempura and a wonderful hostess. Absolutely delicious!

We are so glad we found this neighborhood sushi spot! The food is always great and the women working there are lovely!

Amazing quality sushi and super friendly staff. A hidden gem. Don't get put off by the take away look

I was served a different sushi I had originally ordered and on the other sushi I ordered crispy onions were put on top of it, which were not mention on the menu. I’m allergic to onions so I found it out of order. Plus when I received the bill I was charged for what I originally ordered, which I did t get, that was more expensive than what I was given!

Love this place !! This is one of the best quality sushi I’ve had in London, and for very affordable prices too. The lady running the place and serving us the food was lovely and sweet, making sure we were having the best experience. Highly recommend to check it out, been there twice with my girlfriend now and it’s our go-to sushi spot in town.

Great quality food here especially when you compare with lots of over priced places in London. Good service and the extra pleasure is the lovely little terrasse at the back on summer evening. Highly recommended!

Cosy little restaurant with beautiful veranda bit outside. Me and my friend shared Edamame, Chicken Gyoza, different Sushi and Tempura. I finished with a triplet of Mochi balls. I cannot praise the food more highly, it was absolutely delicious and probably the best sushi I've had in London so far. Friendly staff and a decent selection of drinks and vegetarian options rounded up our experience. I'll be back!

Delicious food, so fresh and yummy😋 very clean, nice outdoor space and really nice lady serving food. 5⭐️ than you! X

Came for a spontaneous dinner here and wasn't disappointed. Very nice service and the pork belly was to die for! It literally melts in the mouth! Chocolate fondant wasn't super special but not bad. Overall, I'd recommend this place 🙂

I ordered salmon teriyaki takeaway from this restaurant. The salmon was nice but the portion of the whole meal was so small (child size) it definitely wasn't worth £14.50. I couldn't eat any of the vegetable's that came with it, they were undercooked and hard. I was also given the tiniest amount of rice which barely covered the bottom of the container, tasted like it was cooked in too much water and it was literally drenched in sauce. I'm still hungry. First and last time eating from this restaurant.

Have lived in the area for a long time and Yida is by far my favourite restaurant both for takeaway and eating in. Both delicious food for meat eaters and vegetarians, which is great. Always a real pleasure!!

This is such a great restaurant, the food is outstanding and the manager Leigh is lovely and loves our boys. It's a huge asset to the area. I've heard the rents might be going up in this area. If they do and this place goes it will be a disaster, the previous businesses always failed.

Best Japanese food in Islington!

Sooooo much more than sushi... A local gem with a terrace... Wakame salad and Soft shell crab is my favourite

I booked a table for six on Friday 23rd April, they sent an email the day before to confirm my booking, however on the day, when we were calling them to change our booking fo 5 they were not answering. When we arrived at the restaurant it was completely gated up and closed. This was for a member of our party birthday and was really looking forward to sushi and now we had to find a place even to eat in the current climate on Friday at 6, the other household in our group had travelled from South London for this birthday so this is absolutely disgusting that they could not cancel before or any message whatsoever. Would not recommend to a friend and absolutely will not be returning. This is also an incident with Open Table too, they need to be taken off this app or checked because this completely through out the birthday plans and we ended up eating somewhere very very bad. Disgusted.

Seriously this is the best and most reasonably priced sushi restaurant in North London. It’s the first place I’m going to be going once it re-opens after lockdown!

Fabulous. Best Japanese food in London

Best sushi in London ! Favourite spot, great for family and friends

Great food, great service, great location, reasonable prices -- will definitely be back.

Really good restaurant with great food and great quality for the price. The service is very friendly and helpful. Sometimes it's just a little bit too busy.

Love this place! Really friendly staff and the food never disappoints. Would recommend!

Great food and service! Good prices for the quality received;)

Honestly some of the best sushi I’ve had in London!

Food was extremely fresh and tasty. It has been delivered far earlier than expected which made me particularly happy as we were very hungry. Sadly, I did not have change for delivery guy who is alway reliable and extremely polite. All in all we are super happy about this restaurant and would really recommend it if you like Sushi or asian food in general.

I love sushi and sashimi and this place hits the spot. Unpretentious but fab.

Worst Japanese restaurant ever. All the raw fish looked unfresh and we were worried that we would get food poisoning. The sashimi was not cut properly that when you took one, others came together and fell off the plate. The sushi rolls looked worse than homemade and definitely were not made by professional chef. I suspect all the high ratings are paid ratings.

We have been going to yida (but especially ordering at home) for few years now since moving to the area. The food is always good (love the sashimi salad, tempura and yakitori) and the delivery guy is absolutely lovely! Always a treat!

Highly recommend this place! I dined in at the restaurant a year ago and recently ordered delivery. Both times the food was so fresh, flavoursome and really authentic. I had the california roll, tempura prawn roll, miso and the chicken gyozas. Already looking forward to my next Japanese fix!

We had take away - poor quality

I come to this restaurant quite often and it never disappoints me! Everything is great, the staff, the music and food is DELICIOUS! much love for yida ❤️

Lovely restaurant. The food is amazing and the owner is super nice. We will be back!

Went there at 5:30 pm on a Thursday and had the place to myself for an hour. Tranquility, contemplation and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Perfect meal for a great evening!

I’m shocked this place has a 4.6 rating because the food was horrible. The sushi was completely drenched in sauce and soggy as a result (we ate 10 mins after picking our food up). The amount of fish in the sushi was very little and the sauce overpowered it anyway so we could barely taste any. If you really wanna have good sushi, please do yourself a favour and search somewhere else.

Nice food but seriously over priced ! I ordered 4 dishes that all came together on one medium sized plate and 2 sakis for £46 . I have had much nicer and cheaper Japanese food in other restaurants.

Great quality sushi, lovely spot.

Food arrived late, but restaurant made sure to let us know which was greatly appreciated! Quality of food was not as high as expected for the price - have had fresher tasting sushi for less.

Perfect meal for a great evening!

Best sushi in London hands down

The sushi was excellent. Would highly recommend the scallop sushi. Delivered quickly and the delivery driver was very nice.

Great food and service. Beautiful outside terrace.

The food here is so delicious! Wonderful service also, one of our favourite little spots in London...

Excellent food. Only wish I ordered more!

Food was okay but missing mixed sashimi (the most expensive item). They did not pick up the phone when we called to ask about this. They also did not log the order as delivered which prevents you claiming a refund

Lovely atmosphere, amazing staff and great Sushi! - one of my favourites!

Consistently good food, sushi and lots of other choice. Attentive staff.

Had a good time casually catching up with some old friends.Food was good enough but not authentic,we didn't expect much as it was just a casual affair.Will go back again for good service and nothing to fancy.

Visited in the summer - gorgeous food. We were able to sit outside which was great but were eaten alive by bugs so not ideal. The interior didn't seem as appealing though in decor and given the heat of the day. They had one of my favourite white wines and execution of the dishes themselves could not be queried.

Very high-quality sushi and yakitori in particular. We had a few sashimi sets, prawn tempura and chicken gyoza, teriyaki and yakitori, which were all great quality, delicious sauces with cooked dishes, and obviously very fresh fish.
