YO! Milton Keynes in Milton Keynes - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Didn't get a chance to try the food asked to wait at door no one to seat us

Lovely resturant- amazing food and wonderful service. Hadn't been in a while and enjoyed the new experience with the conveyor belt after being shut in covid. Definitely returning soon for more Enjoyable dining experience for any ages and would recommend :)

Sushi yes please, waiting in a queue but was expected as it was a Saturday.

Food is great, as with any yo sushi. Service can be a little iffy at lunchtime on a weekend. There is normally a queue and the staff seem to ignore the people waiting, not even a "I'll be with you shortly". Strange welcome. Again, lunchtime it can be a bit of a wait on drinks. However I went for dinner and it was a lot quieter, so my experience was better.

The food is OK (not exceptional) and is expensive for what it is. They don't have much variety on the conveyor belt, We were sat in a both near the cahier. They had a device that kept making a noise (probably when new orders are created) - quite annoying. Despite the restaurant being only a quarter occupied, the service was very slow. After 30 mins we asked someone where our 2 share dishes and prawn crackers were, they investigated and they came out 2 minutes later, so it's like they forgot about the order. We ordered a second portion of plain fries (£4.50 for a small portion!). After 20 minutes we asked a member of staff where it was. She checked on her computer terminal and said it wasn't there, so we accepted that it wasn't coming - but it was on the bill when we received it. They removed the 2nd portion of fries grin the bill, but they're was a service charge of 7.5%. Because of the bad service, I asked for it to be removed, but she wouldn't. So I paid (£55), decided to leave this bad review and I won't go back again.

Complete rubbish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So rubbish the food here came so slow and there were just little food on the moving thing ! So rubbish and the food are not fresh ……. Especially tuna !!!!!!!

Good food, but service is hit and miss and also suggest a service charge..

Forgot some of my order till i reminded them

Had to wait 40 even tho there were plenty of tables. The food was badly prepared. I don’t no if it was because of lack of staff or poor attitude from the staff. Won’t go again.

I love it in here would go everyday if it was possible 🩷

Very nice food. We picked an interesting selection of items and all were good.

really bad meal!! my friend and I go there quite regularly for a catch up and we’ve noticed over the past few times we’ve been how much worse it’s gotten especially the service as it was extremely poor!! food ordering was all messed up as they’ve just charged their ordering system again so it’s now some food going round of the conveyor belt and some you have to order through the QR code. we’d also notice that some of our favourite foods had nearly doubled in price!! we ordered our drinks through the QR code as soon as we sat down however they didn’t arrive till we were about to pay for our meals. when paying, the front of house staff added the tip onto our bill even after we asked him not too but what we hadn’t realised till after we left was when we split it bill to pay what we had each eaten the staff member added another service charge without even telling us! will absolutely not be going there again!

Received extra sushi rolls! Thank you!🙏🏻first time ordered here but will return.👍

Really poor service today. Staff just did not seem to care! Didnt even stay to eat as ordering system so ridiculous and unnecessarily complex and dishes we wanted not available anyway. Tables needed clearing around us and the food on the conveyer belt just not appetising enough under scratched/dirty plastic lids -particularly for the prices charged. Itsu on the other hand, where we ended up eating, was cleaner, fresher, food more appetising and better value for money, premises more appealing and staff super friendly. Dont waste your time with this Yo Sushi. Its going down hill rapidly..... Most disappointing.

I wish I could give the service zero, nowhere near enough staff on the floor. Spent more than 30 mins just trying to get someone over to pay our bill as there was only one man walking around not looking around. Food is good but very expensive for what it is and not filling.

Seated at one end of an otherwise busy bar even though there were plenty of seats available which was confusing.. Luckily it started to fill with other people so we didn’t feel like we were in the naughty corner away from everyone else anymore. Staff were unenthusiastic couldn’t get attention to order food when the app didn’t work. ( another reason to look down and scroll on a phone rather than just order from a person!) midday and the belt was sparse to say the least. Just really disappointing I used to get excited about Yo but now it’s gone right down hill. Chicken was lovely but everything else just seemed thrown together and small portions. Won’t waste my money again. Too expensive too.

Food was tasty, but portions were small and overpriced. Don't know if I'd ordered again.

No soy sauce, no ginger, no wasabi, no wood sticks

Appalling, used to eat here all the time but never again. Waiting staff were friendly and very polite but waited over 20 minutes and still no food from the kitchen despite only around ten people sat down. Watched the chef multiple time touch raw fish and then didn’t wash hands, just ran his gloved hand under water, didn’t even change his gloves. In the end I left and went to Pho which is opposite which was a different league.

Gone down hill. Food is expense with an added service price and a weird hybrid ordering system that takes away from being able to enjoy the food and company

Had a very wonderful experience at YO Sushi for.our anniversary date night. Georgina was incredibly helpful, and kind when serving, helped a lot with allergen knowledge for the food. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Georgina for making our evening more special.

Terrible experience, my first time here and I left without ordering. Very poor service. Will not visit again.

Don’t order from them. Quality of food bad , second they didn’t give any sauce with roll. Soya/wasabi and customer service ignore you. Half of pancakes, 3 peaces of chicken. I mean small slices. And take a lot of money for that and taste really bad

Not auntentic Japanese but taste good! Lovely friendly staff♡

Yo Sushi have lost the plot since covid. This small bowl of (Chicken Teriyaki + Rice) came to 10 pounds. Before you used to have a plate of Chicken Teriyaki and a brown of Sushi Rice (not the cheap steamed jasmine rice but sweet vinegary sushi rice produced in Japan for about 6 pounds. Now it is a lump of unfavourable and what seemed burnt chicken smeared in a horrid sauce. The way Yo Sushi is treating customers now is making it head for administration and closing down.

The food was great, especially the firecracker rice. Uses the conveyor system to run food from the kitchen to the table. It was a lovely experience and quite affordable.

Paid £28 to get a Food poisoning :( both my friend and I ...sorry never again ... London's ones were fine though. Oh also the guy slower than the sloth at the reception that doesn't even clean the tables must be changed too :(
