YO! Milton Keynes in Milton Keynes

Fast delivery and tasty sushi 💯

Just shy of 2 hours late, was stuck on prepping for the most part of it. Not sure what was prepped cos the ingredients in main box was showing signs of sitting in the takeaway fridge too long. It's a shame as they're normally good for time and fresh.

Made a lunch reservation yesterday for family of 4. Food was great. However it was terrible service. Clearly short staffed. Customers waiting at entrance for a very long time and not being acknowledged by staff members (just say we are busy and be with you in a moment - it’s not hard - and it was not busy). Tables not being cleared. Extremely dirty floors under tables. Had to kick the kick the chop sticks and old food under the seat to prevent my children stepping on them. Door left open constantly in freezing conditions so we all sat in our hats and jackets. No check back given on food. Only offered one drink at the start. The staff were polite and these issues are down to poor management.

Food is good, service is mainly self select though you can order hot food. I felt a lack of atmosphere.

Really not good. Went in for lunch on a Sunday. Started with the carousel plates - the edamame tasted like it had been left in the fridge too long and was inedible. My daughter ordered a chicken katsu - it was hot and pretty tasty. I ordered beef teriyaki which didn't arrive until I spoke to our server as had been waiting quite a while. When it did arrive, the taste of burnt beef was overwhelming - also inedible. We had a cotton candy cheesecake, which also tasted like it had been left in the fridge. I didn't dare eat any sushi. We were seated next to a stack of white bowls that were absolutely filthy like food had been splashed over them and opposite the sink with a filthy clear splashback - watching kitchen equipment not being washed properly. It was really really disappointing. Fortunately, our server deducted the beef and edamame after I complained. Will not return. £60 for two people in total in the end.

The staff were very warm and welcoming and the food was amazing and authentic, katsu curry was my favourite ,the atmosphere has a cool wibe and experienced a great service

Wish the food delivered lived up to the appetising menu descriptions. Chicken Teriyaki was missing the slaw. Pumpkin Katsu was missing the pak choi & ponzu salad. Chicken Katsu Curry was missing the pickles. Won't buy from here again.

Back after a while, city centre and all restaurants super busy with Christmas crowd, Yo didn’t have a Q so popped in for a quick bite. Has really gone down, service was iffy … food expensive for passable food. Ate mostly from the carousel + ordered seafood ramen which was missing the egg (they ran out of eggs!! At 1PM!) over spiced / salty. Very disappointing - 75 quid for 2 with only tap water and 7 plates! won’t be back.

We were sat at the sushi bar over looking kitchen one chef kept touching raw breaded chicken without gloves and then touched corn on the cob put it in the water and when done fetched it out with the same unwashed hand rice cookers on the floor dirty beer dispensing machine if you want staphylococcus then come here we left shortly after seeing this

Music too loud, server too quiet. A box of chopped spring onions left out and uncovered by the belt where there were two girls flicking their hair. Food ordered but wrong thing brought and then charged for the wrong thing, my husband POINTED to the thing he wanted because the server couldn't hear him due to the music being so loud, but still the wrong food was brought, no apology, no offer to fix it. Shocking.

Great food and super quick delivery

There are various ways to order to control the cost . We decided as it was a long awaited treat to try items on the conveyor belt - fresh, tasty, totally yum. I tried items that looked good and I can honestly say I loved it all. We did order gyros- I think I would have preferred steamed rather than fried but they still tasted good. I would suggest booking as it can get really busy - there are deals to be had throughout the week along with student discount. Yo yum yo

awful in every respect. all food was cold and the portions were tiny. my order came to £50 and everyone hated it. Will NEVER buy from here again

Georgina couldn’t have been more engaging and helpful for our first time as sushi goers! The table next to us were rude and very demanding but she kept her cool and professionalism! Looking forward to returning! 🍣

We came for the bottomless belt deal on Thursday evening, and overall were left feeling disappointed with it. When we sat down there was a lot of selection and variety on the belt, and we were initially hopeful, however after about 15-20 mins, it was clear that all the variety had been picked up by us and the others dining, and the only thing left was about 3 dishes on rotation that nobody wanted. There was no restocking of the things that had been eaten at all. We had to ask for wasabi and ginger because there wasn't any provided, which is odd as they are a staple of sushi, and we didn't realise we could order hot dishes (but couldn't order cold belt dishes!) until about 15 minutes before our hour was up. Dessert was also weird where there was some variety early on in the first 10 minutes, and then nothing after. We had to ask a waiter, who then asked the chef to put some desserts out, who seemed less than pleased at the thought of actually having to prepare some food for the diners. Overall I don't think we're coming back to do it again, Sushimania does bottomless sushi for cheaper, with better variety, and a friendlier atmosphere. There's no selling points to put this above it at all.

I usually love this place but the service was in total breakdown this Sunday afternoon. Half the restaurant empty, yet a 20 minute wait to be seated and a long queue. We braved it and went back... This time I had finished my Teriyaki whilst my wife had to wait another 20 minutes for her hot food as it was stuck behind a load of Deliveroo orders. Seems that things are not much better. The call buttons are gone, as is the Kirin beer! It was also £70 for lunch for two.

The menu offers a great variety, from yakisoba to sashimi, catering to all tastes. It's an ideal spot for anyone new to Japanese cuisine or for those looking to enjoy authentic dishes. You won't be disappointed by the high quality of the food. Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent food, server was very friendly, first time coming and will definitely be back

First time trying out the conveyer belt. It was great excitement for the kids. We really enjoyed varieties of sushi, overall great experience

What a rubbish place to visit. We asked for a table for three our server pointed and said you can sit on that one. He then walked over with two menus leaving one of us to photo the menu on his phone. After 5 mins we called him over to ask if he could wipe the dirty table. He wiped the dirty spot in the middle of table and left the rest as it was . After another 5 mins we called him over again to ask if we might order some drinks. After taking a couple of dishes of the belt, I ask the chef if we order a dish. He explained that we need to do this with the server. The chef watched us for a few mins as we were trying to attract the attention of a server. Realising our frustration, the chef himself had to ask the server to come to our table. Food was okay, nothing to write home about, but the service at this place was absolute rubbish. If this place has a manager or someone to train staff, they need to be fired. The standard of service at this place is appalling. Do yourself a favour and go to another restaurant.

It’s a shame as we really enjoyed the food this month but all spoilt by a member of staff who nits and picks who she wanted to check on. Non of the staff checked on us despite of very very expensive food we had so far in MK. This tall staff i think is the supervisor as all we can hear from her was do this do that to one single employee as after that she was laughing with another staff. These employees shouldn’t be working in a place like this or needs retraining as Yo sushi doesn’f deserved the hard earned money that we customers pay. We wont come back maybe in a decade again as i now remembered why we stopped coming from 15 years ago.

Had lunch here on a Tuesday, had to wait outside for about 20 minutes before a vacant table was free. I think if you arrive after 3pm then you can grab a table straight away. 2 for 1 on Large Katsu Curry meal deal on Tuesday. Opted for chicken for myself and pumpkin for my partner who is vegan. Food was delicious, freshly cooked and very filling. Also had green tea though no table service to have it refilled.

Not eaten here for a few years and this evening reminded me as to why. Inattentive staff... didn't come to our table to take an order or check on us without prompting. Food was mediocre, tasteless and overpriced. Noodles especially were very poor. Dishes going round on conveyor were bland and repetitive. I don't see this chain lasting much longer if this is the level of quality.

Food was amazing as always at Yo Sushi, however the service was terrible. We had to repeatedly ask for cutlery and it was a nightmare to order food. The staff appeared to not really care about the service they provided, except for one staff member who was in the kitchen. Service was extremely slow although it was not busy.

Generally a rip off. Food is over priced and consists of small portions. Dried up cold squid, cod tempura hand roll full of rice and one small cold piece of cod. Some of the sushi good though. Generally the standard of food has declined over the years, doesn’t taste fresh and is massively over priced. The girl working in the servery at Milton Keynes does deserve a shout out for being so friendly and pleasant.

We were there for Bottomless Thursday. Very tasty food, lots of choice and also some vegan and vegetarian options. All staff members were really nice and the service was great! Big shoutout to Bart, the excellent chef who made lots of extra vegan plates for me, you are awesome!!!🍱

Very dirty; they bring the plate to your table with dirty hands, the kitchen is dirty, I won’t come back because it made me feel nauseous.

Food is tasteless, expensive, poorly presented with small portion size. Place was dirty as.

Me and my partner always enjoy coming to Yo sushi, unfortunately the service went downhill in recent months. Server ignored us when asked we want to order. We appreciated when one of kitchen staff, that was on lunch break, saw us waiting and took our order. There were two servers that day and neither of them came back asking if we need anything, although they seem more attentive to other tables. Taking in consideration that wasn’t busy, front of house staff weren’t bothered. Food and kitchen staff as always 5⭐️

Not easy to call the staff for order. And in the bill there is a service charge which isnt great.

Great staff and we did the bottomless sushi which is well worth the money. All you can eat from the belt for under £30. Any dishes you leave with food on you have to pay extra for though

Dirty,Expensive and not tasty.I am very disappointed!!!

We went here earlier this evening and left feeling very disappointed. The service left much to be desired, and we had to ask several times for water. We were never received the wasabi and ginger requested after asking 3 different staff members. To top it off, the restaurant was extremely quiet, so this could not even be chalked up to overwhelmed staff. The sushi was ok, and our rice came out warm instead of hot. I normally really enjoy YoSushi, but I won’t be coming back to this one anytime soon.

Seemed really quiet and closed off. When asking for a takeaway order the guy was very rude when I mentioned my allergies and dismissed me saying I basically shouldn’t buy food because it would be ‘just noodles’. No attempt to accommodate or listen to me and wasn’t even busy to justify his attitude. Finally spoke to a manager and had to get it re-cooked by a different chef as the food I was given still had things in it that I would be allergic to even though I spoke to the server and the chef twice to confirm what they would be cooking. Spent half an hour here just trying to get my food cooked correctly.

Reception area is crowded and looks like an afterthought, stood in a tight walkway. Tables are only available if reserved otherwise seating is at the suschi carousel. The once helpful phone app has been discontinued - sigh. Service is slow but staff are friendly and pleasant. Food is passed to you by the waiter stretching over the suschi carousel if you're sat at a table. The place is crying out for an ergonomic redesign. Food is generally ok. The standout dish is Katsu curry with great sticky rice and has some great Japanes lagers- Asahi etc.

Beautiful selection and great quality of the food

Very friendly and clean. Good with children, would recommend 👌

We visited 31st May in the afternoon. Staff service was excellent. Very polite and helpful. We had kids who had a great time! Thanks very much

Ok experience. Service was odd. Sat us down, didn’t explain anything and then we had to get up and ask for drinks, cutlery, chopsticks and then finally napkins. Wouldn’t go again.

Food was delicious but less vegetarian option

Good food as always but such slow service! Evert time I've been I have to go looking for the staff to order

Me and my granddaughter went to have something to eat it was the worst I ever experience, it was sad that this happened to us, we won't be going back there again.

We stood at the main door waited to be seated , but no one from the staff cared to inform or ask

This place is NOT wheelchair accessible like it claims to be on Google. The tables inside are all up a step except one table that appeared to be being used to hold a sushi making class. Really disappointed with the answer given to me when I queried this when arriving at the restaurant.

It was very delicious, The hot food was prepared by Mohamed(sorryif wrongspellings). Please with the Great food and friendly atmosphere.

The food was OK, but the service was really not great, especially as it was not especially busy when we went

Late it's cold this time and I'm missing items all the time I'm fed up of missing food items so I'm just going to find somewhere else

Delicious Japanese cuisine and excellent service.

No Vat included on menu prices........ 😒

I get that sometimes you can miss out on an item on a big order but I only had 4 things I got and you miss one I mean I've bagged up deliverys at McDonalds with way more then that in before and not missed a one

Ordered £40+ worth of food, for me and my children and its apparently been delivered to someone else. Says on the app my order has been delivered but I have definitely not recieved my food. Absolutely ridiculous.

Firstly the toilets were beyond disgusting I later visited a soft play which was cleaner than this place. The smell was bad the light were broken in the women cubicle that wasn’t clogged with poop & paper. Once seated took 15 mins for someone to come to us but we had to call them over then we made an enquiry about an ingredient and never came back we had to ask someone else. Even they came back with the nutritional information and not ingredients. And asking for some slices of avo and cucumber for my 10 month old I was looked at like I asked for a kidney they simply didn’t understand. Eventually we got two slices of each. The overall service was shocking the place wasn’t clean and the high could do with a good clean. Usually I rate Yo! But this was shocking.

Sorry to say it has gone down hill in recent years. The range of food has changed and the restaurant features have gone such as the water taps and the help signs

So disappointing! We waited for ages to have our order taken and then waited even longer for our drinks to arrive. The food on the belt was so underwhelming that we decided to pay up and leave, and one of the ordered dishes didn't arrive at all. Shan't be heading back. It looked as if the place was too busy for the staff to cope with and it wasn't full.

Service was very slow , stuff were miserable and food was underwhelming and expensive.

Love the food. Great atmosphere from the team that work there.

Really gone downhill. Food overpriced and very average. Service nonexistent. Avoid.

Sushi was delicious! Good service! The deal is very good!

There are few options on the menu; the sushi round table is inferior. Expensive for the quality offered. I do not recommend it.

Absolutely the worst Sushi I have ever eaten. Quality was far worse than pre-packaged store brought Sushi. The food arrived warm without any Soy sauce or Washbi. The colour and smell of both the salmon and the tuna clearly indicated it was well passed fresh. I really would avoid buying anything from Yo Sushi.

great food & fast delivery! if I had to mention something the katsu curry needed more sauce but apart from that it was awesome! ( totally recommend)

I placed order at 6.30 recieved 8.15, cold n horrible. tried phoning no answer n couldn't leave message as box full

Nice atmosphere. Greeted and seated very quickly. The conveyer belt had some repetitive plates. Hot food: 1 arrived in time, the 2nd away long after( I needed to ask a waiter about it, as it looked as the chef forgot about it).

Don’t get me wrong The food was great but they added a service charge onto our bill without informing us . I’m all for paying a service charge if they actually have to serve us but we ordered everything online via the website and probably spoke no more than 5 words to the server . The sever could have at least told me that he had added the service charge so I could have removed it .

After sitting down, a kid threw up by our table, the parents had to help clean it up and the staff eventually got a mop and some disinfectant after being prompted by us. Starters took a long time to come out and were pretty cold suggesting they'd been ready but the waiting staff hadn't bothered to bring them over - we told the staff, they didn't care no replacement offered. We ordered large plates and some sides for our main course only some of which arrived. When we asked how long the missing dishes would be after about 10mins we were informed that they were just making it now, what arrived was not as described on the menu and was missing several ingredients - told the manager, he called the chef over... Chef tells us we are wrong and argues that the dish doesn't come with these ingredients until we show him ON THE MENU....we left at this point, didn't pay, won't be going back.

Amazing food, service on drinks was a bit slow considering how quiet the restaurant was

First time with my 8yr old daughter, we had a good time. In general we like the concept but being vegetarian I was reluctant to take stuff off the belt when I was not 100% sure what it was, thus I ordered off the app to my location. Food was nice, staff were friendly

Waited over 15 minutes to get seated was ignored so many times waited half an hour for drinks and we didn't get what we ordered, portions are tiny and bland, staff were rude and extremely slow and unwelcoming. Wouldn't bother coming here

Difficult to know what is coming past on the belt, but otherwise the food is good and there are some decent veggie options.

The sushi and all the dishes have very small quantities compared to the prices, and the food is not fresh at all. This is my first and last time trying Yo Sushi

No cutlery, no wasabi, no soya sauce. Bean pods undercooked. Dumplings dry, cold and not eatable. Miss soup, very cold. Usually a good treat but this time very disappointing

Amazing place with a fascinating conveyer belt and quick lovely sushi

Late delivery with changes to expected time and cold food. Not a good experience

Fantastic restaurant with great service, sushi and other great dishes. Recommended

Disappointing Experience at YO! Sushi: The quality of the sushi fell short, and the prices didn't match up. Additionally, the unclean bar area affected the overall visit. I'll be making sushi at home and seeking out cleaner, higher-quality alternatives! I recently dined at The Bistro for a friend's birthday, and it was an absolute delight. The ambiance was charming, the service was impeccable, and the food was exceptional. The chef's special, in particular, was a standout dish that left everyone at the table thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend The Bistro for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.

Yo! Has been a solid favourite of mine for many years, so the quality was no surprise! I've been staying in hospital a lot lately, and the vegan options here are severely lacking (inedible), so having this service with some very good local businesses doing good options is a tummy saver! I just wish there was a spoon with the miso soup! JE have a no plastic cutlery policy, but there must be a way of getting adequate spins out for the miso soup!

I like Yo sushi, but not this branch. I’ve had bad service on multiple occasions. Upon walking in I asked for a table for 2. The waitress told me to wait a moment while she served the customers who were already seated. I mean surely she should have seated us first so we can browse the menu rather than make us stand and wait to be seated (it was only 1 customer seated). After a few minutes wait she turned around and said it will be another 30 minutes wait as they ran out of rice. This was around 6-6.30pm. Did not decide to stay and had a brilliant Nando’s instead. On another occasion while I was a student, I had put my hand up for the bill, the waiter appeared agitated and said to wait as they needed to serve another customer. Typically waiters would still listen to the customer despite on the way to do something else. He appeared frustrated that I had my unidays student discount and was generally an unwelcoming experience (this was about 5 years ago). You guys really need to train staff on customer service and deal with the frustrations they are facing at work as it does affect customer experience. I’ve not had any problems at any other Yo sushi branch - Ashford Kent, Stratford Westfield, Bluewater Kent, Bristol, have been super enjoyable to eat at, but Milton Keynes branch seems to have been disappointing too many times for me to want to eat there again. A shame really as I do love visiting Milton Keynes.

Brought us the wrong size of food. Very slow too.

It was busy and bustling so we didn't see much of the staff except when they brought out orders. Fast service. Great food. I didn't like the cramped corner we were in, or the high chairs, and was a little concerned that everyone must have had to use their chopsticks to get to the picked ginger.

When the driver arrived on the street, the map was showing my house to be down the road for some reason. He realised the house that came up wasn't no.8 and so he walked down to my house to deliver the order. He was very friendly and I appreciate his effort.

Quite enjoyed the food here. Fresh cooked sushi is always a plus! Nice and clean with a polite and helpful lady to sit us and show us how to order. Enjoyed our sushi and chicken katsu.

Awaiting lunch today , my daughter ate and drank before either were served to me. When I did receive the food, its was over cooked. Seems no one holding the team together

I really like Yo sushi and tried it in many different locations. Recently I visited the restaurant in Central Milton Keynes and I was extremely disappointed as the customer service was extremely poor so as the food. We asked for cutlery but we were told that they don't have any clean one while my husband found some on another table. Also the curry did not taste fresh.

Unable to comment on the food as didn’t get seated. My husband and I waited patiently today to be seated, wait time etc but didn’t even get acknowledged. The server just walked straight past us, and others were just walking around not doing anything, no shortage of staff just pure disinterest. We understand it can get busy but just some acknowledgment to even say I’ll be with you in a minute would have been enough. There was plenty of room but unfortunately all the tables that were empty were piled high with plates and glasses. It just looked a state. Saw 2 women struggling to get acknowledged to pay also, they appeared frustrated. So disappointed as pre covid we really used to enjoy going to Yo Sushi but now, for the price point it is lack lustre and reminds of a hospital canteen. Such a shame, today has solidified to never go back. We made the decision to leave.

Food that was ordered was slow and came out separately. But the belt was constantly being filled and we had mainly food from the belt. Staff very friendly.

Lovely attentive staff and great food. So good to have the conveyor system back to normal.

Very good experience and no issues

Delicious food and our waitress today was fab!

It was very good, a bit pricey.

I dropped my review from five stars due to the sluggish staff - the wait to be seated has consistently been over 15 minutes, sometimes as long as 30 minutes and those are with a reservation. Our latest reservation was cancelled because we were late due to waiting for seating. Get your act together Yo Sushi MK!! 😡🤬 Update: It was quiet and no queue so we went again. Ordered on the app and they forgot several items, we had to go ask for them. The conveyor belt has the same few items going around and around, no idea for how long.

Food is fine but overall the experience has become a bit confused and the food you order can take a long while to arrive / comes sporadically. It's hard to keep track of what you are spending from the conveyor. The team was not warm or welcoming.

Someone should probably check from Head Office on how this restaurant is run. Absolutely shocking.. well non existent customer service.. just letting customers stand outside aimlessly with no acknowledgement.

What a disappointment, compared to how this place used to be! Came here yesterday for an early lunch and found the water refill gone (bottled options only), the prices increased (I'm sure they'll blame that on the cost of living, but 30%+?) and the chicken katsu burnt. Yo sushi was better when it focused on its namesake; sushi. There are just too many attempts at other things now, all done with a "halfway good is okay" attitude. The QR code that they expect you to order non- conveyor foods/drinks through has a flawed menu that meant that after clicking a BOGOF offer, seeing the price reduce as expected, seeing our food arrive, we found was ONLY AVAILABLE ON WEEKDAYS. Maybe if an offer isn't available, don't place it at the highest point on the QR menu?? And don't let it show the price reduction on the app! Ended up paying full price, which was an unpleasant surprise to round off an underwhelming meal with. To top it off, staff were completely unhelpful with the QR code issue, and refused to acknowledge there was a fault in the system or do anything about it. All in all, we're not planning on coming here again. Just doesn't offer the same quality, experience, or value it used to.

Always a lovely meal, staff helpful with the app to order food. Great variety

Service to slow, nothing on the belt. Position to small. Disappointed 😞

Avocado maki - avocado was solid and inedible. What a waste of money

Having not been to YO before my partner thought it a good idea. Me being not too keen on raw fish didn't think it a good idea at all. However the experience was far from raw fish. No raw fish even came across my bowl and there I was taking coloured bowls from the conveyor belt like it was going out of fashion. Plenty of choices (including raw fish) could be had but I couldn't stop picking out the salted endame beans. It's like the woolworths pick n mix of Japanese sushi. If you've never done this before it's definitely worth the experience and easily budgetary. You only take from the conveyor what you can afford or order something specific from the menu. Can't remember the name of what I ordered, it was new on the menu like a little tofu boat filled with rice and sriracha chicken. Yum 😋 would defo visit again and I highly recommend to those scared to try something new.

Visited the previous weekend. Clearly very under staffed, which isn't the staff themselves fault. However the person serving us was very slow, even when accounting for the fact they where under staffed, staff didn't seem to be bothered about being quick. They didn't appeared very confident with submitting food orders ether. On a good notes, as someone with a allergy I did appreciate being given the allergens information and felt reassured they took the allergy seriously.

Just absolutely vile tuna was a hard texture salmon warm rice was watery

We love it here but the server who was in shift today 26-09 a male with tattoos was awful ! Rude and not welcoming at all and was to busy chatting to kitchen staff then actually taking our order ! Guy didn’t seem to care or what to be there at all
