YO! Manchester Selfridges Trafford in Trafford

Took my son Wednesday night for the sushi making course they do. We went early to have our Tea which was awesome as usual. The sushi making started at 6.30pm and was run by Jack think he said he’s one of the managers. He was great fun made everyone welcome explained everything and had us all making sushi like pros. Thanks Jack me and my son really enjoyed your sushi making and would reccomend it to anyone.

Staff went above and beyond for my toddler who apparently now loves sushi!? Everything I had was really delicious. A great place to grab lunch whilst shopping.

Great experience I’m not a sushi fan but this was amazing

Excellent Yo Sushi. Service was very good and a 7.5% service fee is very reasonable

Honestly a good location and decent service. But sadly that's where the positives stop. As someone who has been to sushi belts in America and Japan this place is an insult to proper sushi belts. The prices are honestly absurd for the amount. Nothing is worth it. You'll spend way more here than you think for even one dish. Run as fast as you can. There is no reasonable reason for such expense. The kaarage isnt even proper kaarage. It's just simple breaded chicken you can buy at the super market

Anna at Yo! Sushi Trafford Centre was absolutely incredible, she went out of her way to deliver incredible customer service, ensuring my partner could get his favourite food at a difficult time for him. I would highly recommend anyone to attend this Yo! Sushi.

It's been a while since I visited a Yo! SUSHI 🍣🦐🦀🐟🥢... I have to say i enjoyed every bit of it today. It made a nice change after several days of meat and cheese over the Christmas period.. From the freshly prepared sashimi to their grilled teriyaki kebabs, there was simply too much to choose from. Loved the spicey tuna egg rolls 😋 had a firefly kick!!.. Can honneslty say was completely stuffed by the time I left!!.. over all had about 12 dishes ( diffent colour plates ) plus a couple of drinks, and the price wasn't too bad at the end. £60.59. Felt it was about right for the amount food we had eaten!! Plus, they also accept Blue light cards, so got a cheeky 20% off the overall bill.. score saved about £13 .. 👌 Deffenlty will be returning soon to get our sushi 🍣 fix again!!

Service could be better. Some staff are awesome but I have found staff at the front of house are a little rude and dismissive. Food was good but not a lot of new dishes are appealing

The waitress here was really lovely she helped my very shy teenager daughter and her friend who weren’t sure how to order a drink, so when I asked her if she could help she grinned and said no problem. Thank you so much

Delicious food and the staff couldn’t do enough! Will be back for sure!

What a let down. Been numerous times and order via app is such a good feature. This visit all table numbers removed, no app push for hot purchases, serving staff not interested and more interested in chatting with each other than taking orders. 0/10 won’t be back here again for sure.

Not the greatest of experiences Katsu curry was rubbish very watery and hard rice ended up leaving most of it. Popcorn shrimp dish was literally sweepings / plate of crumbs and charged £8.75 for it. Staff difficult to get attention as they were messing about with a Selfridges bag / still charged the service charge.

A good Sushi restaurant, well organized, good price, all delicious.

Staff were polite but very young and not at all proactive. Also we were told that everything, including shellfish were being cooked in the same fryer as one was broken, therefore as I have a shellfish allergy my options were very limited. When we came to pay the bill we weren’t offered a receipt and when I questioned this as it was approx £20 more than I had expected, the waitress reluctantly brought over the receipt and we’d been charged for items we hadn’t ordered. Overall a little disappointing.

Disappointed with our first visit to the Yo! Our waiter was so miserable and it ruined the experience.

I couldn't find the hygiene rating Displayed anywhere but I could tell from place that ain't clean at all. The bottle they are using for top water is disgusting I am sure they can change there bottles probably with £100 after using many years to avoid ending up here. Not recommended👎👎

Hot food stops 90 mins before closing. Only the food on the belt left - don’t make a wasted trip if within a couple of hours of closing.

Terrible. I came for my birthday hoping it was good but the food was terrible the plates where dirty and volcanic wings o regret coming here and if you think about coming here think again.

Always very busy, quick service, attentive staff. Order via the app. Not much booth seating but lots of seating alongside the sushi belt. Prepare to queue for the Yo! In Trafford center , for at least 10 minutes Can be a bit cramped sitting alongside the belt, so if possible ask to sit in a booth.

Food was ok, however staff who was making food was also delivering it and from hygienic point of view that's not too good as they would wear the gloves when they were making food then would touch all the things around them (fridges, chairs etc.) while still wearing those gloves. And there was that disturbing smell of dump and dirty cloth where we were sitting. I'm not quite sure where this was coming from but it was bad.

Not worth going at all. Had 3 main dishes and 3 from the conveyor belt. That cost 45 pounds with 11 percent discount! Food was below average. Didn't like how the staff just took 10 plates off the belt and just chucked them in the bin. I understand they don't want to risk selling bad food but I could've literally decided to take one just before he threw it away. No care at all and it was sad to see.

Ordered two of the Korean fried chicken bowls- only asked for no chillies (we both can't handle spice very well) and one with no radishes. Both dishes came with chillies and radishes, were so hot we couldn't eat much and had to give it to our friend. We barely ate anything and had to get food later. The waiter had told us the changes would be possible and had spoken to the kitchen staff so we dont really know why the changes were then ignored?

Not a patch on the old yo sushi. Atmosphere not as good, belt selection poor. More importantly service is slow. Had to chase two dishes that did not show up.

Shockingly dirty and careless in food preparation

Disinterested staff, ignored in the queue, average food. Awkward moment where chef leans over the sushi train to pass you your hot food rather than bringing it to your table. Not great.

Salad had expired that day, but still being circulated despite us raising to staff

I used to love coming to yo sushi but the new set up is not the best and the prices are just crazy, it's such a shame because the food is actually nice

The food was mediocre but the service was horrible. Took 20 mins and us asking 2 different employees for our drinks we ordered via the app. All the staff seem miserable.

This is Disappointing use to be a great fun meal now the staff are miserable & food is no longer good shame really

Wow - what a difference - tiny / skinny portions of sashimi and squid - something has changed massively for the worse here - we aren’t even trusted to serve ourselves water / wasabi and ginger!! A very poor cousin of what Yo Sushi used to be - avoid 😫

By far the worst sushi experience I have EVER had. 1) the simplest of all miso soups taste bland and watery 2) there 13.50 pound seafood ramen is made with egg noodles and not ramen. THIS IS A SIN!!! 3) sushi and sashimi portions purposely cut too thin and tiny, i have never seen such cheapskate cost saving methods 4) all seafood served here are not fresh, I wouldn't be surprised If I get food poisoning from this. EDIT: my wife did get food poisoning from this. 5) everything is overpriced for what you get. 6) sushi appears on the belt as broken most of the time. Never will I come here again. Save your money and go to wazasushi or shoryu, much nicer sushi and professionalism and respect towards Japanese cuisine. EDIT: reached out to yo sushi as per there response. Don't bother, they aren't helpful. Just the typical carried out investigation and nothing found. After many tests and nhs/private appointments, results show there was inflammation in several areas that arose from bacterial infection. The timelines matched up but difficult to prove as a result, and from yo sushi's response, you'll need something concrete for them to accept responsibility. All in all, you can decide what you want to do with your life but I wouldn't risk my health going there again.

Absolutely deserves a big ZERO. Shocking prices for the amount of food that you get. Can easily spend £40 on the conveyer belt in about 4 dishes which, for the portion size, is ridiculous! Asked the server how I can differentiate between halal and non halal food, well she basically didn't know the dishes herself as she proceeded to pick up examples off the conveyer to explain how to identify things off the paper menu and then she would say 'o erm actually I don't know what this is too'. Not exaclty giving me the confidence boost here. A clear systematic coloured plate system would work much better so customers can easily identify their requirements. Anyway, we did try it as we had 3 very excited girls with us who wanted to try the sushi experience etc. We ordered some noodles which for £9 odd was a ridiculous portion, absolutely disgusting, literally seved on a teacup seving plate essentially. We did however get the bento boxes for free as it was during these school holidays but I seriously would have been super displeased had they charged me for what was served in the bento box (I can tell you it is not as advertised in their fancy advertisements). Anyway, can not really complain about that because it was for free so grateful for what we got as we could have easily spent over £150 to feed us all properly (2 adults, 3 kids). One thing to mention is kids across us where switching the vegan cocktail sticks over to other plates on the conveyer belt, potentially causing a dangerous situation for someone. We did tell the staff however they did nothing. Overall, I would absolutely never visit a Yo shushi restaurant again.

I came with friends to the Sushi School and it was so good! We had a lovely chef show us how they cut the fish and step by step instructions for making 5 different types of sushi (2x hosomaki, uramaki, temaki and nigiri). It was loads of fun and we got to eat our sushi or take it home after and there was plenty of it. Free drinks too. Highly recommend!

There’s always a long queue here so we’ve only ever got takeaway before which has been nice. It wasn’t that great - the quality is pretty average and the price really isn’t far off what you’d pay in Australasia in Manchester for a similar portion. Its a long time since I’ve been to a Yo but there’s a lot of stuff they used to offer that’s gone away - water taps at the counter, complimentary ginger and wasabi, it was all a bit underwhelming really.

Well since we had an hour and a half to spare before my childs play session at play factore we thought we'd go to yo sushi the queue was massive it was boiling hot in there we contemplated leaving the queue several times but this was meant to be part of her birthday treat. We kept seeing several empty seats but they were not getting filled and the queue was not moving it was a form of torture really by the time we got to the front of the queue it was time for the 2 hour play session to start and i hoped we would finally get seated soon so we could make it to the play session before it finishes. But it was still another 15-20 mins before we were seated in chairs that look like theyve seen better days. Once there it was great. I mean it was slow service if you ordered food and drink and no one explained the system to me i had to ask if the '20' sticker on the dome on top of the dish means its 20 quid and they finally explained no the pricing is colour coded accorded to the dish and handed me a menu which i hadnt been given before. I have anxiety it makes me anxious to not know the prices of things until its time to pay and would have preferred to pay upfront but as this wasnt possible i had to use my calculator on my phone to monitor how much it all was and to tell my child to limit herself. Then they added a service charge to the end anyway. What service? They werent seating people in time or explaining the system definitely acted like i was bugging them by asking questions all the time- at the end i literally asked 3 different employees how im meant to pay and they walked right past me without acknowledging me like i never said anything and we ended up being late to the play session due to slow service but its not a low rating because the actual food was good and id recommend. I played it safe with prawn crackers miso soup and mochi and really enjoyed it. Really like the moving conveyors. If i had been seated quickly and explained the system and it wasnt so hot it probably would have been a 5 star review from me. Also wish they had drinks like ramune my child gets it from the yo section at tesco so i assumed theyd have them in the restaurant too but they dont?

Thank you to Scott and klaudia for a really great sushi making class. Would recommend

My daughter is gluten intolerant but really wanted to try Yo! sushi. I wasn’t holding out much hope but she found things she could eat on the menu & we both really enjoyed it. We’ll definitely be back.

Long queue but it goes... Nice that the kitchen is open and you can see... salmon without taste prices a bit high for the portion very tiny..

Slow staff. In fact no staff!! Step it up guys

Love how they still use the conveyor belt at this Yo Sushi, makes it more fun 😊

Went me and my husband, the Tuna nigiri and roll didnt have any taste at all 😅 the salmon sushi was fine but not soemthing wow. We were very disappointed about the quality of the food.

Slightly disappointed with tonight’s meal

Really enjoyable experience. Me and my daughter went for the first time. You can order from the menu and then you pick what you want from the conveyor system. Everything is colour coded as to how much it costs. Be warned it can get expensive as the food goes round and you want to try it. Will definitely go again.

The food bowl I ordered was delicious and full of protein! Quite a big portion.

They serve great cakes and macaroons. They also have an amazing sushi 🍣 bar. Shop and eat or eat and shop. Always busy but still worth visiting. Thank you.

Pretty standard yo kinda place. Always good quality and the staff are really friendly. Only downside is the last 3 times over 5 months I've been they have not had some of the veggie/vegan stuff like the mock duck.

Love eating here. Staff are very friendly. Food is excellent.

Need to get there early otherwise they run out of the best sushi rolls.

First of all, I understand that leaving bad reviews don't always help the business, however i have emailed them and have had no response from the manager. I have been coming over the years and needles to say we used to enjoy it. However the last few times has left me feeling very frustrated and disappointed. They don't take cash no more, use the app and they sneak in service charges without asking you, you don't get table service no more so why expect to put a service? Also portions are smaller than ever and prices are higher, you gotta have a balance. After spending over £95 for me and my 2 daughters, I was left hungry, thirsty and frustrated as they charged me for 3 bowls of food I never had! Emailed them and was told they will contact me to verify charges etc and never heard back from them. So sad to see a good old favourite been washed away by bad service and really poor value for money.

It's always fantastic here, has an amazing allergen menu, and staff really care, which is shown throughout highly recommended

Not a pleasant experience. I went in, by myself, just before noon as I wanted a quick lunch. I told the person that served me I was dairy intolerant and they told me to just check that things didn’t have dairy in. I was given no real guidance on how to do it. Then I was told to scan the QR code or ask the server to order any hot food and drinks. I tried the QR code but it needed me to go through quite a lengthy form to register. As I wanted to be quick, I ordered in person instead. Due to this, it meant I had to pay the second that I had ordered. So I paid for my drink. Then when I ordered the ramen, I had to pay straight away for that. Then I had to pay again for the sushi taken from the belt. Not sure why I wasn’t just billed at the end, but it added to the overall unpleasant experience. When ordering food, I wasn’t ever asked again about the dairy intolerance. I thankfully found the allergen information online, and some items were labelled vegan, therefore I felt ok about ordering. But other restaurants like Wagamama and cafe rouge are much better for being allergen aware. At yo sushi I was just left to my own devices. My ramen then came and it was ok but nothing special. The egg was over cooked and it was mostly just noodles. Certainly didn’t feel worth £13! Has put me off going back, I feel like itsu has better quality food, better service and is cheaper.

Love this place and so do the kids. Great service and seated us really quickly considering there was a que. Only down side to this visit was that the belt didn't have much going round on it and it seemed to take a long time for them to top it up. We ordered hot food off the app instead and it came really quickly.

When ordering from QR code the food is quite slow. Food on the conveyor belt also look quite dried out. Orders the beef and squid and cannot say I was impressed

Remember going YO Sushi years ago and it was great! First time I have been in years to see if the kids would like it and wasn't impressed. Seems to have dropped in quality massively! Had to wait an age to be served the food we ordered and when it came it was luke warm as if it had been stood for a while. Expensive for the quality and level of service

We had a fantastic time with Jack at the kids sushi making class. Jack made the experience fun and was so kind and patient. We learnt so much and my son will be talking about this for years! He's a real credit to Yo! Sushi.

Staff friendly , clean , the options seem Reduced or lacking options. My rice was quiet mushy and wasn't the best quality . I also had the teriyaki beef and was lack luster had an unusual after taste . Needed some extra condiments was hard to get some assistance unless you get up. Also seeing a bucket of fried prawns being used to plate my dish gave me not fresh kinda vide . For the price point not good always regret going to a yo

No where near the cost it comes with

Always a fabulous and tasty range of freshly prepared sushi dishes and with a glass of chilled wine makes the perfect treat, especially on a shopping day!

This place is great for nipping in for sushi. My wife and I love to pop in whenever we can. The service is always great from the wait staff but a few of the chefs seem a bit grumpy and the last time we went quite a few of the rolls were coming apart. Other than that however it's a fantastic little place to go. Don't care much for the rest of Selfridges though.

The waiter who took us to our seats lacked customer service skills and gave us attitude. At the time of being served, they were not busy. The new ordering system of scanning a QR code and paying via a website is nice once you’ve set up an online account but when you know what you want to order, it didn’t make sense for the waiter to reject our verbal order request. The new system offers little purpose of the waiting staff, especially when the kitchen staff end up directly serving the dishes that you’ve ordered via the QR code system. Some of the sushi dishes left me wondering what was I eating, and the salmon sashimi was not cut well. The spicy seafood noodle soup was nice though.

I was gifted the yo sushi school for my birthday and this was so so good! Visited on 22/03/2023 and jack made the experience so much more fun than I expected it to be.

Service was good and was seated straight away. Not sure if it was just me but the slices of rolled sushi do seem a bit on the thin side. Everything on the train was pretty much the same. Ended up ordering off the menu instead. Green tea was ok but a bit on the luke warm side rather than hot.

My first time at a YO! Sushi, and I bloody loved it. Monstrously expensive for what it is, I mean biblically ruinous, an actual hemorrhage of money. Yet even so, a great experience. Food, service and staff were all splendid. I just need a lottery win to come back

We expected to eat something good and different, but I was disappointed both by the quality and the size of the platters, I paid 40 pounds for two platters, instead I received two platters but with 6 sushi in it and 3 other sushi only with rice and fish, and this in a Japanese restaurant, it would be good to change the menu a bit.

Been going since it opened and now notice portions very small and unless you use the app you don't get the food ,yo has lost it prices high and portions small

Great experience, the staff were amazing and welcoming. The food, Wow. Great place Yo. :)

This place used to be amazing, I think it's all so standardised now.. the menu used to be so much better and not to mention the prices.

Great atmosphere, food was amazing and fresh. The staff were lovely and friendly. Definitely worth visiting whatever your budget.

Nice quick meal from Yo! Sushi in the Trafford Centre. Recommended if you want to be served food fast and get on with shopping in Trafford Centre

For my first sushi restaurant experience this was amazing. The staff was brilliant and the food was perfect. I’m no sushi expert but the prices was definitely worth the taste and presentation.

Came here for dinner with my partner today and we were both quite disappointed with our experience. I’ve eaten at other YO! locations before and, as a vegetarian, have loved the options they provide for people with plant-based diets. Initially, we were seated immediately - we had to order a little differently, with our server taking our order on their tablet instead of us doing it using the QR code. After making the order, our server returned to inform us at least half the dishes we asked for were not available - the drinks, desserts and almost all the dishes I had chosen for myself, whereas all the meat-containing dishes we had ordered for my partner were. The staff did their best to accommodate for my diet and prepared alternative dishes instead, which was very kind of them, however this was after we had been charged for our original order so I’m not sure if we had even paid the right amount for the food we eventually had. It’s quite frustrating to be presented with a lot of choice upon entering a restaurant, especially considering that a lot of places don’t tend to offer such a wide range of dishes I can eat, to then be told that you can’t actually have the majority of the options you’re presented with. It was quite a shame as I’d been looking forward to eating here but if I was originally informed that most of the dishes weren’t available before we were even seated, I wouldn’t have bothered in the first place.

Time and time again the service is incredibly slow even in a half empty restaurant - prepare to wait at least 50 mins for a simple order. The employees aren’t sorry and act like you are an inconvenience!

Use to love this place, disappointed , poor quality of food, hygiene, another chain going down hill.

This place has really gone downhill, you can tell its been bought by private equity, squeezing as much profit from every plate as possible. The sushi rolls are so small now its physically impossible to pick them up with chopsticks, they simply crumble when you touch them. The sashimi is woefully small, just nibbles of salmon, and the tataki is so thin it just turns to mush. Really disappointed having gone so many times before, it's been ruined.

Very friendly staff and good food Good for a quick bite or for a meal

My nieces thought it was amazing however very expensive the app is hard to use and not much choice when we waited over 30 mi s for a table

We got takeaway, it was very nice

Wow. So delicious and authentic food. It was worth to waiting.

Poor experience. We normally love Yo Sushi but will be steering clear of this one. Some of my order did not arrive, I saw 3 separate customers enquire about their drinks. Meanwhile the staff (stood opposite us) argued loudly with each other throughout our entire meal and stood staring into space pretending to look busy. Whole place seemed poorly run.

First time, and last, in a Yo! Sushi. Probably the worst Sushi I've ever had. We also had the chicken teriyaki ramen, which was awful, the broth was so salty, like drinking soy sauce. The shrimp gyozas were ver bad as well, like over fried, too hard outside. The katsu chicken curry was the only think that was edible. Service was alright though.

Didn't buy anything. Just looking around. Very expensive.

Very expensive this place but they've got everything!

This place is in need of a deep clean. Grubby tables, menus, dishes, cutlery and glasses. Really not acceptable. Food is average - gone down hill since my last visit. Staff overworked due to shortage which then keeps you waiting and waiting. Overpriced for what you get.

It’s quite over subscribed and the staff are a bit cba.

Not very helpful staff for customers with dietary requirements. Wasabi was nice though

Top experience now that the belts are back. Tasty food and attentive staff; waiter in particular (with arm strap) was really nice to our daughter with her first sushi experience, and it was very much appreciated. Thanks 🙏

Hot food slow to arrive. Food good when it arrives. Staff not helpful in explaining menu or assistance with menu. Takes longer with digital menu.

Nul retrouver des trucs dans mon assiette pas recommandé

The only issue is and I didn't know that it was card only, luckily there's enough on card. Overall was good

Loved it love sushi. great service.

Very nice place. Brings back lot of memories of the 90s

Mathew top service everytime I come. Glad he’s back

Great service from Georgia tonight very polite an helpful

The food tasted great. I was very happy with the both the food quality and the staff members. Matthew was a lovely host, very polite and making sure we were sorted if we needed anything. Thanks yo sushi!! Will definitely be returning

Really happy with the spicy fish soup, when we came to eat here yesterday afternoon before , the last two times , the soup wasn't so good, not much broth and not too much fish but yesterday was amazing. We are regular visitors to yo sushi ,at the Trafford Centre and always eat this soup. We also love the other dishes . I am always happy with my service here.i would also like to give many appreciation to one team member , Georgia . This lady goes above and beyond, to make every visit special. She is really helpful and always gives good recommendations on the menu . This young lady has good customer service skills naturally and is very friendly, this is one the reasons, that we like to come eating at yo sushi, when visiting the Trafford Centre. Keep up the good work Georgia . We look forward to dining here again. Lisa and Zoltan :)

It was my first time at Yo Sushi and it was a great experience. The staff were really friendly, especially Georgia who was a delight, really helpful despite being really busy. She had a lovely attitude and gave some good recommendations. The food is of the best quality and plenty of options even if you don’t necessarily like fish.

Mathew grate surface and very friendly to us . always kind always remembers you makes it a lovely experience every time you go

I love that yo sushi has brought back the conveyor belt system, but you can also order on the app and hot food only. Fun experience as always, and the quality of the food and price hasn’t changed from pre Covid. Staff were attentive got seated straight away on a Friday lunch despite it being busy during half term. Usually you have to book, so I’m happy we got a table. Ignore the negative reviews, if you’re a true yo sushi fan you’ll know that yo sushi is only getting better. Also, I love that you get rewards now, so we got some money off our order today. Can’t wait to eat here again!

Such a friendly place, come multiple times per week and Matt is always a delight even with a broken arm <3

Matthew is amazing! So glad he’s back! Always looks after us and a true gent. Love that it’s gone back to old style with the belt 🥰
