YO! Sushi in Gateshead

Very friendly staff and great sushi, rice is soft and holds well together and the salmon is always very fresh. I recommend the Inari also!

Went tonight after work and honestly think I had the some of the nicest service i’ve ever had eating out. The staff were all quite busy but still attentive, full of smiles, chatty and just really lovely, and the food was great too. Would recommend.

Visited at about 7pm on a Friday night, only one waitress who was talking for 5 min as we waited to be seated, running around when we finally got seated and ignored us waiting to be asked if we wanted a drink. Waited 10 minutes and ended up paying for the 3 dishes we grabbed off the belt and left. Ruined our experience and wasted our time. Don't think we will return to this yo sushi or any other

Yo Sushi is a real treat and more of an experience than just a meal out. The menu is superb and there's so much to choose from. The conveyer belts were rammed fully of really nice food that you can pick up as they go post you. It's like nowhere else I've been before. We ordered a vast selection of different pre cooked sushi mixed in with katsu chicken and rice along with a pumpkin dish that was all freshly prepared by Anna who went above and beyond looking after us. Nothing was too much bother. Thankyou so much. We will be back soon👌

Not enough staff working. We waited ages just for our water. Staff were too busy showing each other youtube videos and laughing, rather than actually making food. Tried to complain when we were told a service charge was added, and the server just said ok. Expensive, not worth it. Will not return

This used to be fabulous.. what a let down. Barely any food on the belt, staff didn’t engage with us once, we ordered two hot items that they forgot to prepare and when reminded, got the order wrong. Expensive and abysmal. Don’t waste your time or money. Sent in a complaint to Yo Sushi, they haven’t bothered replying. Says it all

So we ordered a click and collect to grab after Xmas shopping. We collected at 3.30 and didn’t eat until 7. Item missing- husband checked email and refund had just come through. On collection no one mentioned it, so we have no idea of the reason. Bit of a let down for an Xmas treat.

There is not enough staff and it is so slow I do feel bad for them but is not a nice service and it is quiet expensive al the time you have to wait and only, the place was empty as well and they messed up my order witch it was only 1 thing

I ordered beef teriyaki. It came and was all fat and mostly inedible. When I asked for the bill the waitress asked if everything was OK. I explained about the beef and was told that's how it comes, it obviously isn't to everyone's taste. We have been to yo sushi before and had the same to eat without a problem. Also not a lot on the belt coming round. But loads of dishes ready on the counter, which were not put on the belt. People were having to ask for them. I def won't return.

Ordered online to collect at 2pm. Arrived at 2pm, advised a member of staff I had an order to collect, showed my order confirmation and provided my order number. This seemed to mean absolutely nothing and I was asked what I’d ordered. I was told it wasn’t ready yet but would be ready soon. While I was waiting a deliveroo driver also arrived to collect an order and was completely ignored for 20 minutes. Again, when he gave the order number it was met with a blank stare and he was asked what he’d ordered, despite him clearly having a deliveroo bag. After waiting for 30 minutes I asked for an update on the order and was asked again what I’d ordered. I was then told my order had never been received. Again I showed the confirmation and the order number. I was asked for a third time what I’d ordered. By this time my patience was wearing thin. I was then asked to look in the fridge where they have pre-prepared boxes to take-away and see if there was one the same as what I’d ordered, which there was. I was told to just take one of these… I certainly won’t be returning.

Went for lunch. Staff very polite and friendly but could be more available. Nice atmosphere. Menu, a lot going on then trying to find the same things on your phone to order was like mission impossible and frustrating. It was good to take things from the revolving belt but I wondered how fresh it all was. The food is ok but didn't come away feeling fully satisfied I'd had a good meal that filled my belly. Was concious of the cost and felt you have to spend a lot of money to have a satisfying meal. Doesn't compare well to other chain restaurants in that respect. Plus ordered food which came without the chips, landing after we finished our sushi. Mcdonalds fries are better tbh. Sadly disappointed. Lovely staff and atmosphere, concept could be better and less complicated, food ok quality but not enough and not value for money. I won't be returning. Thank you

Having previously been disappointed by both service and portion size at this Yo, I can honestly say this most recent visit has seen the return of the quality of food and service we are used to. Well prepared and presented sushi and hot dishes, brilliant staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

This used to be an exciting brand to eat at with plenty of choice. Now you order on your phone, which takes a long time when you order lots of small dishes. Rice and noodle side dishes have been reduced to just plain steamed rice. When I look at what we had compared to the cost...not impressed.

This used to be our favourite go to in the metro centre however it’s so underwhelming. Firstly the staff, they’re friendly and polite but sort of redundant given you have to order through your phone. Secondly and this is the biggest issue: the menu! DON’T EXPECT THE FULL YO SUSHI MENU… it’s like a skeleton menu. It only offers half of what yo sushi usually offers. That’s the biggest disappointment. We won’t be back as the offering is poor.

The best sushi in the area. Great, friendly service and atmosphere. Would definitely be back. The best Teriyaki chicken I have tasted.

Just popped for some of the pre-made takeout boxes, terrible customer service, said they won’t take blue light discount and the food quality is really gone down hill especially considering it was £16 for two boxes of food.

Haven’t been for a few years. The self ordering is a pain, the choice has shrunk as have the portion sizes. Very disappointed and won’t be visiting again.

The food we ordered tasted funny, my wife and kid are still vomiting since last night, we tried to get in touch with the place but of course they don’t accept phone calls nor leave voicemail, seriously sort out yourselves.. disgusted

Absolutely amazing, kind and helpful staff. Food utterly incredible. Deserve way more than 5 stars!!

Visited with my daughter been a few times the food is amazing, hot, fresh and plenty to choose from, the dumplings and noodle dishes are lovely and my daughter fav katsu curry vegan options great, the ice cream desserts ,,,, yummy, the staff were lovely and friendly to and even gave us free sushi to take home. Def be back.

Reviewed this place 3 years ago awesome. Now don't bother, quality poor, service charge due to covid is automatic as you have to pay online and that's why here service is as poor as they clearly don't care as they have their money or tips in the bag. Waited for drinks ages. Had to ask when they finished on their phones too ask for more. Miso soup unlimited, forget as they never ask u for refill. £74 for me and my 2 daughters worst restaurant experience in years. Also noted usually you wait due to popularity...... Loads of seats so customers are doing the same as me.... Avoiding the place!

We usually love this place, it’s all we could talk about for a whole week, we couldn’t wait for A “YO” I understood during covid lockdowns etc no conveyor belt of food, and had to order food over the app, but NOT now 😡😡😡 no temptation of food going past & thinking “Ooh that looks nice” viewing menu & ordering on an iPhone was impossible thank god I had my young daughter with me! The dragon rolls looked nothing like the pics on the website! N a few others also looked nothing like usual we have yo often at Manchester & they don’t compare, oh & you also have to order wasabi & ginger 🙄🙄😡 sorry but won’t be coming back until I find out it’s back to pre covid standard I way as well buy over internet from other establishments! Staff are lovely tho and very helpful there a credit to the chain!!!

Never tried this type of cuisine before. So was interested to see what was offer as I've heard so many people tell me that im missing out. Well it was all ok but the inner child in me was disappointed to see that the conveyor...

After a fiasco a couple of months back we were invited back for Yo to 'make amends '. They certainly did! We were looked after by Anna, for whom nothing was too much trouble,she was brilliant. The food was served promptly and the various dishes...

Part of the reason we went to the Metro Centre was to eat at Yo Shushi. This would have been the first time since before lockdown, so we were really looking forward to it. We arrived at Yo and joined the short queue. On waiting,...

Where do we start! After arriving at the restaurant and being called to come in by the kitchen staff as the front of house staff were no where to be seen, we were told to sit anywhere and not offered a high chair. Then we...

Yo Sushi! What has happened to you?! We visited as a family during half term to make use of the kids eat free deal. On arrival we were told most of the hot food items weren't available due to supply issues. Edamame beans were unavailable...

Amazing food and amazing people!!! 10000% would eat here again atmosphere was perfect xxx punkin katsu was sooooo yummy

We recently visited with a group and Danielle definitely made our trip. Lovely girl that made us all feel very welcome and is very confident in her work. Fantastic!

We had a wonderful meal on a busy Friday night. Special shout-out to Anna, Danielle, Rob and Nicoletta!

Great experience tonight at Yo Sushi metro centre, despite arriving close to the restaurant closing the team were welcoming and food was spot on. The experience was different with the conveyor belt out of its previous action, for obvious reasons, but meant that we could...

I left a good review on this branch of Yo Sushi a little while back..... Oh, how times change! I ordered a child's meal,plus food for me via the app. My water was warm, I pointed this out to be told they'd just gone in...

Food was nice, staff member was very very rude to me. Not once did she make me feel comfortable enough to ask for anything she literally just didn’t wanna be there. When i walked in she was like well you cant sit there we only...

Asked for credit card details to be typed online, and could not physically do it via a card machine. Also, it asks for you to create an account to actually order in the first place. Very unnecessary. Good food and service however.

My 8 year old daughter and I went to Yo Sushi in the MetroCentre for for the first time yesterday and we both loved it. Shame that the conveyor belt/selection system wasn’t on fully but that’s Covid for you, but they still sent our pre-ordered...

I was served by Craig today, he was very friendly and helpful. I was very happy with the service and food, I will definitely be coming back again

I visited on a Friday lunchtime and was first in line to be seated. Unfortunately, I was not shown to a table for about 10-15 minutes even after a staff member had said hello and could see I was waiting. A female member of the...

We visited the metro centre for the day, my daughter had been to yo sushi and recommended we ate there. Covid restrictions were in place. We were shown to a seat at the counter. We used the app to order the food, we ordered a carafe of water. The chop sticks were dispatched immediately and the food followed. The food was excellent, couldn't fault a thing. Very tasty and not badly priced either. Can definitely recommend this place to try.

Very disappointed with food.Salmon in Maki almost invisible....it was almost only rice. Edamame was so cold thayt was almost frozen without any of the promoted dressing, no sea salt and no spring onions on top.Signature Roll definitely not same as menu picture, thinner, avocado almost invisible and very tiny Tobico. Last time wasting time and money for a pseudo modern sushi restaurant.

Visited a couple of weeks ago for Eat Out Help Out. After some confusion with our booking we were seated. COVID protocols felt very safe and the staff were helpful All food was great. Korean beef and fried squid were the pick of the lot

Even in Covid circumstances we’ll organised and ordering on phone app was easy and really good service

We visited here during the eotho scheme and weren't actually aware at first that they were taking part. Due the popularity and last minute plans we had a bit of a queue as they were full but we're fitting tables in between booked slots. Social distancing was as well as can be in such a small area, hand sanitizer on arrival and areas cleaned down well as soon as one party left. Absolutely loved it here, slightly different to normal to what I gather as they can't have the dishes going round now but you scan the code on arrival and order all online. Loved the whole concept, service was excellent and food came fresh, hot and delicious. We tried a variation of different things my favourite was the katsu prawns, so tasty. Fantastic deals at half price and delicious food. Will definitely return and would recommend. If you can book a table as its quite a small place.

After the lockdown, I was eager to have the excitement of the conveyor belt sushi experience... not to my surprise everything’s changed... you order and pay on your phone, the dishes are handed to you and you’re good to go... personally it takes the “uniqueness” to the conveyor belt experience. I went with my husband with the Eat Out To Help Out Scheme... queued about an hour before we could be seated, and ordered several dishes through the app... I truly recommend the salmon selection platter which has sashimi, nigiri salmon maki and Yo! Rolls, all salmon! Love it! The tuna tartare was also really tasty... I could see that the fish wasn’t properly sliced, not even the rolls, they were to thin and the rice was very compact. Chicken katsu curry was lovely, served fresh and still warm to eat. Staff was friendly as always and place was kept clean and tidy.

Whilst visiting there ,the first after lock down one could spin a coin which way to go first. You would be hard put to satisfy ones visit.queues at most stores with one or two allowed in.my dear wife was keen to visit M and S for clothing bargains..satisfied with a Krupp of tea.then a 14 mile home again.

This was our first visit post-Covid and had the new serving method in operation. So everything was done via my phone (registering the table and ordering). A member of staff did explain it all up front and it all ran smoothly. Order stop at your table and a small light changes from red to green. Quite novel and actually I quite like it. Payment is also done when ordering.As always the food is excellent, but slightly pricey given the portion sizes (some of the roll seem to have been halved, but not quite 2x as many then put on the plate!) But very good quality and the service was all very smooth.

Maten var bare en drøm! Alle som reiser til Newcastle må spise her. Bare husk å bestill bord! Det er sjelden noe ledig. Vi var i Newcastle og opplevde køene utenfor Yo! Sushi. Vi hadde en dag på Metrosenteret, der fikk vi muligheten til et måltid uten å ha bestilt bord. Fantastisk mat. Utrolig hyggelig personale. Neste gang jeg reiser til Newcastle bestiller jeg bord før jeg reiser. Anbefales virkelig.

We had about a 20 minute wait for seating but it was half term so we expected it. We went with our two grandsons aged 10 and 14, the staff were excellent with the boys. The food was very good as we had some of the cooked dishes which were served lovely and hot and nicely presented. We used our tastecards otherwise we would have found it rather expensive with the children. I would have given it 5 if there had been more space and more tables so we didn't quite so long,

I had the pleasure(?) of visting both this and the Newcastle branch within 4 days of one another. Chalk and cheese.The Metro centre branch was very good, helpful staff. Seated within 30 seconds of arriving. They did make a blip in the katsu - it was drowned in sauce rather than 'drizzled' as per their menu. Our server changed it immediately and with no fuss whatsoever.I'd taken my young grand-daughter there as a treat after buying her some clothes for an upcoming holiday. We both enjoyed our visit.I'd be more than happy to visit again.

This was my partner's first visit to Yo Sushi and she enjoyed everything we had to eat. Unfortunatley the service was not as good. One member of staff seemed more interested in her phone and the other member seemed to be doing everything. We pressed the attention button but it was ignored. The woman who was doing all the work was very pleasant and helpful.

Didn’t get to eat. Had asked earlier what time they closed and they said 7. Went back at 4.30 and closed due to ‘staff issues’ rude waitress as well

I’m a big fan of Yo Sushi and was looking forward to going. We stood for a good five minutes without being acknowledged. The restaurant had about 10 people sat in total. All 3 empty tables still had plates remaining as did most of the belt spaces. We may have arrived immediately after 3/4 of the restaurant had cleared but the bottom line is: it was empty, looked like prison canteen after a riot and we were left hanging.It’s a competitive market out there and that wasn’t attractive at all for people paying upwards of £40 for a meal. Disappointed as the menu looked great!Nipped over to Zizzis which was heaving and got seated and served straight away

I had the beef teriyaki and Korean chicken. Both were amazing. Freshly cooked and hot. Service was a little slow today though

I ordered a chicken and a beef dish. Chicken dish came fast and was delicious.

10 minutes later waitress came to tell me the oven was broken and they couldn’t do the beef dish. I asked for the manager who wasn't in. I asked when did they know the oven was broken because I’ve watched the 2 cooks for last 10 minutes and neither of them seemed to be cooking anything. She said they knew yesterday it was broken and I asked why she didn’t tell me at the beginning to which she said she didn’t know about the oven???? I was confused but asked why no one told her until now, she said she didn't know the answer to that either.I then ordered another chicken dish which came quickly. I told her I'd be putting a complaint in but she didn't seem to care.

On top of that, when I asked for the bill she said she couldn't change my order over so I'd had to sit and wait until the manager arrived. I asked if she was joking and she said no. I told her I'm not waiting, gave her my name and address and left. So I now have to go back there to pay my bill.

I contacted head office over a week ago as well as the restaurant manager this week to complain and no ones even acknowledged my emails yet Im repeatedly being asked to provide a trip advisor review so here goes.

I'd happily change this as in the past I've really enjoyed Yo Sushi. Unfortunately on this occasion I feel very disappointed by the Chicken Katy Curry. Not only does the dish appear to have changed dramatically the standard and about of chicken served have reduced.I don't know if this is a one off but when you're positioned right next to a Wagamama, I know where I'd be going in the future

Choose food from the cooked to order menu. Decided to choose a few things off the belt while we waited. 20 minutes later we noticed other peopleGetting their food but not us. So we asked a waitress what was happening, she apologised and said they had forgot our order. We were frustrated and explained to the waitress, so we agreed notTo pay for the food we had to wait for but for the belt food. They then brought us a selection of deserts on the house. This was very nicely handled and the staff were professional. Food great as always. WillCertainly still return here

Lovely service and good value too, the deal may have changed but spend £20 and a child ate for free! We’ve long been using to sushi as a family. It works for us, the belt giving the children choices and responsibilities.

First visit to Yo Sushi really enjoyed it! Lots of choice and friendly staff would definitely recommend.

Haven’t been for a while and thought it had improved since my last visit. Kids eat free all holidays-great stuff and the chef gave my daughter some cucumber treats while he was preparing them. Really friendly waiter and food as lovely as ever. Tasty, fast and cheap- what more can you ask for? I’m addicted to the katsu curry and California rolls. My daughter likes everything that passes on the belt.

Not enough staff available, hardly any food available, took ages to be served and to pay despite having the light on. The food was not fresh, it was warm and lacked flavour. Won’t be going back.

I used to love Yo Sushi!, I used to go every time I went to the Metro Centre. I hadn't been for a while, but I visited the Metro Centre yesterday and went for a late lunch at Yo Sushi!. What an awful experience, the menu has been pared to the bare minimum, none of the few remaining things I enjoyed were not available due to a supply issue.

Lovely food, can get what you want straight from the belt or order it fresh. Food very reasonably priced and free refills on miso makes me happy 😊

Stopped by for lunch with the other half because he fancied sushi, it's not somewhere I'd ever been before and I was expecting outrageous prices and a need for a burger within an hour. I was completely mistaken. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially the miso soup, and we found that the soup, 2 hot dishes and 3 cold picked off the belt between the both of us had us comfortably full and incredibly satisfied with the flavour and experience overall.

We've been a couple of times before but was nice to go again. You don't have to just have what's on the belt but can ask for specific things from the menu (which we did). Staff were friendly, seemed like good value.

I'm a regular and cannot fault the food of staff. The staff are mega-friendly and will bend over backwards to help you or provide good banter! I can (and have) very easily spent £100 here, but totally worth it.

The staff are friendly and always warm welcoming. The food is just as good. Probably come here about 3 times a week now due to high quality food and excellent staff

I'm a frequent visitor, always a pleasant experience with very friendly staff (special shout out to Dan), food has improved massively since the original introduction of the 3 thinner pieces per plate instead of two.

Yo sushi has always been a reliable favourite for our family but the new menu apart from being significantly more expensive and confusing with a half dozen bits of squid now over £5

Whilst the novelty of the moving food is cute the food was dry rubbery and old. And expensive for what it is, go somewhere else.

We as a family eat here quite regularly and sometimes with friends. Staff are friendly and helpful and food is a good variety and value for money. Desserts are amazing too! Great to drop in for lunch or tea. Definitely recommend.

Been going to here for a few years and looked forward to our week trip through. I average spend £100. Due to circumstance haven't been able to get through for a few months so we were really looking forward to it. Wow how things have gone down hill. Yo Sushi rolls a slither of its former self with could hardly see the masago. No Tuna Maki anymore. And the sashimi tuna and salmon we got were silvers of poor quality. Actually I could go on as not one dish was of good quality. Mostly I was embarrassed for your staff as they know how you are cutting costs but keep high prices. Can't fault service at all as they are as always outstanding and such a shame that you have to pu them in this position so shame on you. I won't be returning as there are better places to go to.

My girlfriend and I went to Yo Sushi for lunch after an early morning shopping stint - we were served by Chris, top bloke! Very friendly, left a very good & friendly impression of himself. Food was excellent as well. 5/5, highly recommend!

Lunched here with my wife and it was as always delicious.

They brought back the coriander seared tuna! My favourite thing in the menu as someone who isn't a huge fan of a lot of sushi. I was a bit gutted they apparently ran out of noodles as I wanted to try their ramen, but my usual katsu curry was good as ever. My partner ordered the salmon platter which was nice, however they charge a £5 premium for eating in as they have the same thing on their takeaway fridge for 8 quid. The food is really good but a few things this time just knocked a bit of the shine off the usual 4 stars.

Absolutely brilliant!! Fabulous experience loads of sushi 🍣 and brilliant host!! 👍🏻👍🏻Well worth the visit and definitely the money! Red letter days x both of my family members enjoyed it 15 and 45! If you like sushi!! Do it!!

We've been visiting this place since it opened and have always enjoyed the food.

We were on a shopping mission at the metro centre and my grandson decided we would eat at Yo sushi . Great idea.

I've never been to Yo Sushi before, I noticed the green Wednesday offer had returned so decided to give it a go. The three serving staff serving that night were amazing and so helpful in explaining everything and checking we were okay. The first lady informed me that if I spent over £10 that my daughter ate for free which I thought was great. We got loads of different green Wednesday dishes and every one of them was delicious and such a flavour sensation, especially the sweet potato Katsu curry which was a great portion for the price. I got the mushroom ramen that was a little pricier but they had no mushrooms left so added in a couple of dumplings instead which were also delicious. Overall the service and food were above and beyond what I expected and I will 100% return to try some other tasty dishes.

I went to Yo Sushi tonight with a friend. As the restraunt was so busy, there was hardly any sushi circulating on the belt and the dishes that were circulating were unappealing dishes such as aubergine or edamame beans. When ordering from the menu from a staff member, the “help” button did not work so you had to catch them vocally which took up to 15 mins. Upon ordering, it took over 30 mins for each dish to leave the kitchen which is unacceptable. I was in the restraunt for 2 and a half hours as it took that long for dishes to circulate that I liked and food to be ordered. Even upon ordering food, it arrived cold and the noodles were so rubbery I actually had to return them! I have not been to yo sushi in years, and had very fond memories of the restraunt, but I would never return after my experience this evening.

I honestly love this place, the food is beautifully prepared, and the staff are extremely hard working.

Food was good as always! Blue Mondays are a total recommendation, however dont expect most staff to be as happy as you would hope as they are rushed off there feet due to how busy it becomes! Special service recieved of Rob on blue monday, an absolute delight, not seen without a smile and went out his absolute way for any requests! An asset to the company! Manager was also so nice, and spoke sooo highly of Rob which shows it wasnt just today he was a delight! Will be back and will recommend! Thank you Rob

I’ve walked past yo sushi many times and felt intimidated, confused. Ha. How silly I was. While my better half was finishing work I decided to take the plunge. Everything was explained to me by the lovely staff member and I had a great little meal. I guess it’s tapas style but Japanese.

Excellent food and even better service from Naomi! Highly recommend the chilli pepper squid, the 'dynamite' roll and the beef teriyaki!

I’d passed this place dozens of times in the last three years, and always it’s a passing interest. Not this time however, as I’d switched on to healthy eating, and I was aware that most, if not all Japanese food is healthy. On this occasion there was an offer on of over 60 dishes at three pounds each, and I chose the squid and veg dough balls, with a portion of spicy Japanese chips, and pleasantly, a good mid glass of Malbec, which was surprisingly good, and at just the right temperature. The dough balls were beautifully cooked with a wonderful texture, and the skinnie fries were a revelation. The waiter that cajoled me inside was exceptional....never overbearing, but on hand when I needed to navigate a strange menu. This 60 dishes for £3 is on every Monday and I shall be there before my cinema visit.....great place for pre cinema food,or even people watching

I am in no way a fish fan so this place never really appealed to me, my sister suggested this place & she is vegan so it seemed a little strange but she said they do other stuff & not just fish.

I'm a very infrequent visitor to yo sushi. I'm not 100% sold on sushi or sashimi but my partner loves it. The good thing about Yo is I can have a katsu or a teriyaki sumo bowl or a bowl of ramen and try some little bits of sushi. All the while the better half can eat as much sushi as she can afford.

We have been here twice in a week so it can’t be blamed on a bad night. The prices just keep going up. A few stems of broccoli for £4?. Rolls chewy and tasted like they had been circulating a while- not fresh. A lot of food covered in mayo now. Not healthy. Had veg rice one visit and salmon other And was tasteless. Hardly any veg. Really poor salmon dark ends used. No prawns as well. Probably stick to Nudo takeaway.

As an avid Yo Sushi goer I try and visit different Yo Sushi’s. This was my first visit to Metrocentre on 28/12/18. It was busy when I arrived and I sat at the bar and ordered my drink. I had to wait for my two favourite dishes of Endame and Seaweed to appear but could see them being prepared. I then ordered Yo fries, prawn gyoza and pumpkin katsu. The chefs in the kitchen looked extremely busy and I sat watching them prepare a range of different dishes. A few people around me were complaining about how long there orders were taking, it turned out they were two chefs down. This gave more insight to the lack of consistency on the conveyor. My three ordered dishes arrived quickly once the kitchen caught up and I enjoyed them. This wasn’t the best Yo Sushi I have tried, but given the staffing issue I would give it another go in the future.

I hadn't been before and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The place was clean, staff were friendly, attentive and helpful and the food was really tasty. San experience the restaurant is great fun. I'll be back :)

My wife and I’s second visit to yo sushi and we weren’t disappointed, we visited on a Friday evening which meant the restaurant was busy but service was sill good, the blue plate £2.90 deal is one hell of a good deal and we took full advantage ordering some items but fresh items were coming out constantly.

We used to visit quite frequently but the quality of the food has really gone down while the prices have gone up.

I’ve been here a number of times over the years and have mostly enjoyed the sushi and maki rolls. However, over recent years the quality of the food in terms of presentation has really gone down hill. It’s still really tasty but for the price that it is, I expect a certain quality. I know that it’s the sushi equivalent of Burger King, but the rest of the market has caught up with these guys and I think they’ve just dropped the ball while others have moved ahead. The staff are usually friendly and helpful, and the the best thing about the whole concept of Yo Sushi is that it could act as a gateway to better sushi and sashimi for young people. One other bad thing about today was that they were clearly under staffed, the fryer was off so some menu options weren’t available (2nd visit running) although that didn’t bother us as we only have sushi roll dishes - but the worst thing about today’s visit was the fact there was food going around the conveyer belt that was 30 mins out of time/date l/past best. We had one dish like this and to be fair the server knocked off the price of one dish but it just feels the place is in decline overall.

Great for some sushi but before you know it you have spent £60 so it’s a treat. On this occasion not much on the belt so had to order but at least this way it’s fresh. Friendly service.

We went to Yo Sushi, almost by accident... I know, how can you go to a restaurant by accident!, but we planned to eat in an Asian fusion food place almost opposite but decided to try here instead, my wife having had a poor experience of Sushi in Japan. She took a little persuading but I had tried Yo Sushi in Florida a few years ago and found the experience different, but It was a way to see what appeals and have that or choose from a menu, rather than dishes as they float past. Several plates later, Mrs.H was a fan of 90% of what we chose.........different ? yes, completely.. Japanese cuisine? No, but an enjoyable change and small enough portions so that if you make a less good choice for you, you haven't spent a fortune and feel forced to eat it..... Food is fresh and the flavours are delicious and light.

There are less dishes on the belt, the prices have gone up and the portions are smaller. Staff are not as attentive as previous visits and the overall ambience is poor. Shame though as the first few years it was open it was great.

The convenience of Yo Sushi is always a massive advantage when it comes to wanting to eat and move on a little quicker than usual, located so closely to the cinema it’s an ideal quick pit stop prior to watching a film. The sushi is always very good and the food cooked to order is very tasty too. I ordered the teriyaki beef which arrived a bit cooler than I expected but the staff were only too happy to warm my meat up by re-doing the dish. I would highly recommend the squid and cod which were amazing but the duck gyoza served with the plum sauce was also very good. All in all a very good quick meal of sticky rice, sticky plum sauce resulting in sticky fingers all in 30 minutes before even getting to the cinema.

Easily select from train or order as you need. Funky and up beat, a great place to stop and recharge, prices can get away from you, so as Indiana Jones says “choice wisely”

I love Yo Sushi but I didn’t have a good experience today. If your food arrives and looks nothing like it does on the menu or taste very fresh it shouldn’t be a problem to question it or hand it back. To be asked ‘what’s wrong with it?’ when ‘what’s wrong’ is obvious is not great. Will use the one in Newcastle in future.

Some sushi and sashimi snacks while at the metro centre. Lovely service, lovely food. Always reliable. Keep up the good stuff.

Perfect location in the metro, we got seated straight away. All the food we served was made fresh & was lovely. Really reasonable prices
