YO! Sushi in Watford

food not too bad, just expensive

Attentive staff. Fresh food. A little pricy

First time ordering delivery and was very disappointed. Beef was dry and overdone and portions were minimal, the chips had less than half a box for nearly £6, only dish that tasted pleasant was the chicken noodle. Was it worth £25 i think not, best to eat in as quality delivered was poor.

Good quality food, decent service

Good selection of food, also none sushi. Helpful staff. Will visit again.

Lovely atmosphere and amazing food. Thank you :)

I love Yo! But this has and always will be the worst location I’ve ever been to. The food is consistently a lesser quality than of other locations. The kitchen always looks a mess and seems unsanitary. But above all the service was absolutely terrible. Two of us walked in and were told to sit wherever by the server waving her hand around. She sat us and informed us of the new table service system and said she’d be back to take our order. She did not return for ages and had to be called back for our order as she sat other tables and messed around with kitchen staff. Our server was a young Asian woman who I have not seen before on evening of 6/3. Took our order and asked for some forks. We received all of our food before I got my forks, drinks or miso soup. She informed us that the kitchen would be closing soon and to order anything else we wanted to quickly and then went onto ignore us for twenty minutes. Instead of bringing our drinks she busied herself sweeping and chatting with the kitchen staff, made eye contact with us several times and ignored us. Finally managed to order the last dish we wanted before the kitchen closed but absolutely shocking service, I’ve never experienced anything so bad. I will never come back to this location purely because of this.

The service from Tom was fantastic and all the dishes came out quickly and tasted very fresh!

Short staff but great effort ten at a ten just like the old yo sushi love it

I asked if it was made fresh or taken from the prepacked refrigerated section. The employee said fresh, and pointed to the chefs in the center of the conveyor belt. Then, we placed the order and he started taking things out of the refrigerated section. I asked him why he lied to me and he tried acting like we didn't tell me it was made fresh and sneered at me. I used to eat here all the time. No more now.

My recent dining experience at YoSushi was an unforgettable journey into the heart of Japanese cuisine, meriting a glowing five-star review. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was transported into a world where the essence of Japan is celebrated through an incredible array of sushi and other traditional dishes, all of which were crafted to perfection. The highlight of my visit was, without a doubt, the sushi. Each piece was a work of art, showcasing the skill and precision of the sushi chefs. The fish was fresh, the rice was perfectly seasoned and the presentation was impeccable. The variety on offer was impressive, ranging from the classic salmon nigiri to more innovative creations that tantalized the taste buds with their unique flavor combinations. What set YoSushi apart was not just the quality of the food but the authenticity of the dining experience. The service at YoSushi was also noteworthy. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations that enhanced our meal. Their passion for Japanese cuisine and dedication to providing an excellent dining experience was evident throughout our visit. In conclusion, YoSushi offers an amazing taste of Japan through its great sushi and authentic dining experience. It’s a place where the flavors of Japan are brought to life with skill, creativity, and care. For anyone looking to enjoy high-quality sushi in a delightful setting, YoSushi is a must-visit. My experience was thoroughly enjoyable, and I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Went here with a friend to eat out. We did go when it was quieter so there weren't that many people in the restaurant. Got seated right away and explained how to order in no time flat. It had been a while since I went out to eat at a YO! Sushi place, but I think I can safely say my experience was pleasant. Food overall was good. Ordered my personal favourite dish, the Chicken Katsu Curry. Food service was fast, I didn't have to wait any longer than 5 minutes after ordering. My main complaint would be the drink sizes since they felt a little smaller than the last time I was at a YO! Sushi restaurant. Overall though a good meal and good experience.

Tom’s service was impeccable. Top bloke!

Great food and great service from Tom

The apps missing half the food so had to order with one of the two staff that were struggling didn't get my points on the app food was fine.

Lovely place to eat lovely staff would 100% come back and would recommend

Amazing staff! Great experience

food was very yummy & service was great!!

food is common. The miso soup was too salty. The fried calamari was not tasty. seaweed is nice. The sushi tastes good. 4-5 plates per person is recommended

A good selection on items on the conveyor belt and easy to order hot food and others items with the friendly staff

Restaurant needs a revamp. Broken door, tiles and why are yo toilets always bad Food was great though always is

The problem here is the food is nice and you can rack up a bill pretty quick. I like how you can just order what you want as you go and pick off the belt.

Do NOT waste your time in here, this place was horrible not only was it expensive but the customer service was absolutely atrocious. I'm deeply disappointed. And I can't also forget how when I wanted to ask the staff for something they ignored me, and I know that you may be thinking that I was just being quite or I wasn't speaking loud enough but that is NOT the case as I was sitting right next to them, I was right under their noses. And don't even get me started on the service, it took them a whole 30 minutes for our order to arrive, we were starving, hungry waiting for the food to arrive and the Food was not even good!So I highly recommend for everyone to stay far far away from this place, trust me its not worth any of your money or time. So I hope everyone has a lovely day and a happy new year❤

Went there to have lunch with my family and what a horrible service. My daughter ramen took forever to came and when it came, was wrong. Then another 20 minutes waiting for her food while everyone had their own food at the table. Ordered a miso soup which is suppose to be “unlimited” it’s only “unlimited if the waiter is patient enough to bring it to you, otherwise you have only one pot during your lunch. Overall horrible service and won’t came back, they might not care losing one costumer but I was a regular as my kids love sushi.

Managed to book a table for 26th of Dec for 1pm!!! I even got a reminder about the booking... Happy days...happy daughter...untill we realised Yo! Watford is CLOSED on Boxing day. Now I ask myself: how can you book something when the restaurant is closed?!? And that reminder?! What a joke on Boxing Day!!! Disappointed!!!

Pretty good fast food sushi and service.

Small place, the menu was dirty, the waiters were not always nearby and were busy with other things and it was difficult to call them. They charge about 15 percent for the service, but let's be honest, they barely do anything

Great variety and quality of food! All kitchen and waiting staff amazing service from welcoming us to leaving the restaurant. Unfortunately the layout of the restaurant for people waiting to be seated is diabolical. A family of 4 ( 2 adults 2 girls (10-12) were waiting to be seated and were staring at my wife the entire time, and even had the audacity to say to each other “she’s taking the piss” about my wife ordering more food and drinks for our little boy. This completely ruin the experience as we were there for our son’s pre birthday lunch. This happened on 09.12.2023 around 17:30. We love the place, but now not sure if worth going back to :/

LOVELY FOOD! Me and my family love coming to Yo Sushi so we went here on a Saturday around 1pm, When we hit rush hour which was partly our fault, But we ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Ramen and the Chicken Katsu Curry, The waiter said they were out of stock but checked for us regardless and it was in stock after all! Both of our meals came out minutes after each other so we enjoyed a Family meal. We liked the food so much we ate it before we could start taking photos! Food 10/10 Customer Service 10/10 Wait time 6/10 Atmosphere 7/10 Hygiene 5/10 Overall 7.6/10

Good food a big pricey. Also wonder why they charge VAT? No service charge but VAT

absolutely shocking customer service. staff seemed more interested in talking amongst themselves and sitting down than helping customers. Not sure why - wasn’t overly busy or understaffed. It took nearly 30 minutes to get anyone to take my order INCLUDING A DRINK. another 30 minutes = only one item showed up so i left. people were seated around me, orders taken, food arrived and they departed - felt invisible. when I left they still hadn’t started making the 2nd item I ordered 30 MINUTES after I ordered it, ONE HOUR after I arrived.

Sat down to eat, but due to a mix up and needing to get to our film we had to leave without ordering. I had to go back twice to get things id left by mistake, in and out quickly. When I went back some people working there made passive aggressive comments, and spoke about me and my friend like we weren't in the room. I'm sure it was annoying we had to go back without ordering, but if they had an issue they could have raised it verbally or asked why we needed to enter again. Instead they behaved rudely and maturely. The people who were preparing the food had nothing to do with this and seemed to be working very hard.

We were given someone else's order twice and the rice obviously was from an older order, which was attended to when we flagged it up. Unfortunately it was very expensive for what we ate and the small quantity too.

One of the best ramen and kudosh to IC for amazing costumer service! Came back in 4 times after and wasn t the same by far. Staff was not bothered with our plates, had few drinks after,wasn’t at all busy. Quite different when boss is not in, busy yawning on floor while kitchen staff were working like bees. Not cool

They are not making real Japanese food Rice are so oily and salty Sashimi is not fresh Definitely will not come again

Waitor Tom made our experience at Yo Sushi. The most cheery, amazing, person who provided fabulous service. Would definitely recommend to come here!

Very nice staff helpful with specific orders that I needed the food was excellent I would really recommend coming here.

Came here for a date with my partner - my first time coming to a sushi place that has the rotating conveyor- i’ve had yo! before but only on delivery— it was SO amazing. Tom welcomed us and helped us feel well looked after.

Really nice place and great customer service

Friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere with great tasting food.

The good: The sushi is pretty good but one or two dishes were a miss. The bad: pricey. My son and I spent £77 for the two of us. The wait is reasonable but the service is below par.

Great time at Yo Sushi, friendly staff, excellent food and reasonably priced

Lovely food and attentive staff! Food so fresh!

Josh was so helpful and attentive … food was amazing as always!

Amazing food, great prices and the best customer service I’ve experienced

A great night at Yo Watford tonight. Thank you to Joel for being a great host. Would definitely recommend.

The food was so good, efficient service and nice staff(Joel was very polite and friendly). Katsu curry was filling, the sushi was so good and the pancakes are always fab here. Would recommend!

Amazing food and service love it here all my freinds loved it had the Katsu amazing and the mix maci

Food was very good and came with many selections I really recommend yo sushi Watford it a great place to come with friends

Realy good good had a lot of fun realy recommend will be coming back as soon as possible love it here

Had a lovely time at Yo Sushi! Food was delicious, in particular the avocado maki. Also service was very fast.

absolutely recommend!! lovely atmosphere and waiting staff. the food is very affordable and caters to everyone’s tastes :)

We bought our daughter and her friend for dinner for her birthday treat, staff were so friendly and helpful, food was AMAZING and so much fun picking our food from the belt. Will definitely be back soon

What a fantastic experience, so laid back dinning experience with exceptionally lovely food Katsu curry is a must, teriyaki chicken superb with great service 😋 great value for money

It can get very busy (particularly in weekends) and you may need to wait to be seated. On a couple of occasions there were a few people waiting to be seated and we were told that a table could be offered to us in about an hour or so; we ended up going somewhere else as it was a long waiting time. Apart from that, the food is good and tasty. Depending on what you order, you may end up paying a good few tens of pounds for 2 people (and not necessarily get a lot of food). The alcoholic drinks menu could be expanded as it’s not much to choose from.

The food was so good best place to go with friends and family really good service had such a great time I recommend the avocado maki

Good amazing had the best time Katsu curry had great flavour sushi had great texture and salmon and avacdo was so nice had a great time and service was amazing

Great service! I had a great time here food was amazing and all together great experience lovely place to eat

Very very good restaurant Ic was very polite very good food very nice people good atmosphere the food arrived in a timely fashion and we were accompanied with very good customer service both in the kitchen and our service

I must admit we were a bit disappointed that they have changed the way they do things at the Watford Yo Sushi, No Food goes around the travelator so you can't just pick up what you want when you want it, instead you get to use an APP that you you have to create a user and password, choose your food and pay. You can of course order from a menu but we thought we would try the app, it was a pain-full process. Some of the drinks were missing from the online menu and that was because they were not in stock. The Rice turned up 10 minutes before the rest of the food. The delivery of the rest of the food to the table was slow with one dish turning up at a time. The food was tasty but some of the meat was tough. Unfortunately we won't be rushing back as the experience was just not we were used to. Whoever decided to change the format of the food delivery has made a big mistake.

Came to Yo Sushi for a date night, and was so pleased by the delicious food and great service. Was seated straight away and waited less than 10 minutes for food which was so tasty. Special shout out to John for being so lovely.

Really good sushi, great options for vegetarian guests!!!! The staff were really helpful and friendly :)

It started well, the service was quick and attentive since it was our first time there. The food came in quickly but the portions were rather small, the sushi cone was the worst I’ve seen, but tasty. We asked the ‘sushiman’ for our main course...

All the negative reviews about small portions and high prices, believe them! The Kids' Menu costs £6.95, includes a choice of main, a side and a drink, these are an okay value. But one hungry 7-year-old wanted the Standard Chicken Katsu, which costs £7.40 alone....

We walked up and after trying several places in Watford to be met with “you haven’t booked” grunts, to see Ben’s welcoming smile and I’ll be two minutes sorting a table for you attitude was refreshing. Had a great meal and banter with the team....

So bad , food are tiny tiny tiny

The staff was very friendly and explained the works very clearly to a pair of first-timers like us. The service was efficient, and it is fun being able to see the cooks make the food in the middle of the bar. The food tasted great. The pumpkin katsu was delicious, but there wasn't a lot of the curry on teh rice. We were really happy with the rolls as well, both the california and katsu, but the portions are quite small and we had to wait rather long to get our tap water, which we needed after the spicy katsu rolls. A nice place overall, I might come again and change my rating, but it is a strong 4.3 ⭐ for now.

I visited "YO! Sushi & fresh Japanese food" for lunch. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry and the Korean Fried Chicken with a diet coke. I was pleased to see that the restaurant associates sprayed/wiped down the tables after patrons were finished eating and wore masks. The food was good and the ambiance was nice with modern music playing. They have a cooler with "grab and go" items available for a quick meal and drink. I would definitely come back to YO!

Really like Yo! But don't enjoy ordering via the app. The lovely staff here in Watford helped us order via their systems which was great. The fryer wasn't working so our order was limited. An expensive visit still.

Not as good as it used to be unfortunately!

Beyond useless service. Three members of staff walking around aimlessly ignoring the que at the door. It’s safe to say we walked out.

it was good. the yo fries are ridiculously good. the reason i didn't put 5 stars is it was a bit complicated for my poor brain.

Nice staff but the food portion is very small and a bit expensive. I love the sides but not the ramen and fried rice which are nof very authentic.

Enjoyed most the hot dishes and felt the sushi was reasonable. Our faves were the gyoza, popcorn shrimp and the Japanese fried chicken. I was quite disappointed with the service as we had to prompt for basics such as soy sauce, wasabi and ginger for our sushi. Wasn’t too impressed that I asked for something and the staff member just carried on cleaning so I had to ask another person for the item. Would return if there was an improvement to service

Food was delicious🍣 Great service and friendly team! Highly recommended.

The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place, the chef and staff are so friendly with the customers and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.

Welcoming friendly service and great food always. I especially liked the seafood ramen and the guy with blue eyes was great!

Expensive .. not good value for money. Tiny portions. Only good point is the friendly staff.

Much eye rolling when we wanted a paper menu rather than to order by QR code. The food was as expected at Yo, but the service was highly underwhelming, presumably because they are so used to people just serving themselves digitally with no need to...

First time visit today with my friend, great staffs and good food. Neveen kept helping us with any top ups and doubts, Would recommend to anyone if wanting to try sushi 👏.

The food was okay. Similarly with the service, it wasnt bad. Your typical Yo Sushi place. However, the portion size on the sushi roll seemed a bit small. It was £4.25 for three pieces. Nothing wrong with that, but they were a bit thin being a little over 1cm thick each. Inflation must be hitting hard lol

The worst yo shushi every, i had better from waitrose then this, you shouldn't go to this place, very small Portions and even in some on fish in it and the food was even fresh. The stuff wasn't any help either, taking to each other not even giving chopsticks or ginger, I have to ask for every small thing, one of the waiter was eating in front of me, and when i ordered few beer bottles and he bring can on beer not even cold, even they forgot to bring to of my orders. If you what to try some good Japanese food in Watford you should try kokoro it's my 2 mins away from yo shushi, I want there after yo sushi cause we were still hungry...

Very poor. The restaurant is dirty and untidy. Old grease stuck in crevices by your table. Random boxes and liquid spills on the floor. The waiting staff are disorganised and spend their time chatting. They literally do nothing, but there is still a service charge. Most of the food is ok, but nothing of note. It's also very expensive, for what you would normally consider cheap snacks

Getting seated was actually quick which was great. Food was okay. Service was horrendous. For a pretty empty restaurant chatting with each other or sitting staring into space seems to be more important than remembering to bring chopsticks, wasabi, or asking if any customers need anything/enjoy their meals. In fact just let all the plates pile up. There was one lad that was actually clearing things away but the rest… god! Will stick to wagamamas from now. Came to yo regularly but remember why we stopped after today! In fact it was also pretty messy in the place if you looked around

Food was lovely. What a shame about the service, looking through the recent past comments, it’s the same situation! Do you guys not listen and learn?! Booked a table for 6 of us for 7pm, to be told we have 15 mins left to order the rest of our food, which made it 7:50pm, even though they’re advertised to close at 9pm and could of let us know when we booked our table or even when we walked in. They reason why, because you were short staffed with 7 staff, standing around doing nothing. Considering you are an open kitchen, do you forget that customers can see, especially when you pull faces when our order came through on your screen like it was an inconvenience for you make. Asked someone for some tissues which were not received till we finished after asking again. Also found it difficult to get a member of staffs attention as he was listening to music through his ear buds. I’d never go to that establishment again this is our first and it will be our last time visiting !

Not bad, but Yo Sushi seems to have lost its way since its launch - nothing against the staff, they were lovely. But the food was average.

Bad experience, so crowd, unreasonable price with food(more expensive than the real Japanese restaurants) No recommend to anyone!!!

Very friendly, good service, clean.... the reason 4 stars given as I did find the portion size are not worth the price. Would rather go to Wasabi if available especially for the chicken katsu

Overpriced and not particularly yummy. The place looks like it is a traditional conveyor belt, but actually it is not - they use the conveyor to deliver your prepaid order to your table. Would not recommend. Though the staff are nice.

Food is average and prices are unreasonable for the small portions provided.

Their new system ordering via the QR code really takes away from the old Yo Sushi experience. Won't be returning again unless is reverts back to its old converter belt system. It actually makes you realise how sub-par the food is and how much the atmosphere makes up for the taste.

My 6 year old grandaughter loves it here and she wanted to take me there. Not having had Japanese food before I was apprehensive but I neednt of been. The food arrived in bowls and even though they were fairly small the food was delicious and very filling. Prices are very reasonable, around £25 for 2 adults and a child with drinks. Will definitely go back here, lovely staff, nice atmosphere and great food.

We went on Monday evening around 8pm. It was very quiet and we were told the kitchen closed in 20 mins and to order quickly. We did and the food was to the usual standard and came quickly. The kitchen staff were visibly disappointed at having to start cooking again. They gave us one wrong item. We tried to tell the staff but they didn't seem interested. We couldn't be bothered to push the point. Overall we felt rushed which is shame. The restaurant close time was 9pm so I don't think there was a need to hurry us that much.

More booth seating than normal. Good hot small bites plus bigger plates and desserts.

Sushi was OK, but selection is limited and the amount of sauce is too much for some rolls. Portions were also somewhat small for the price.

First visit with the family, very impressed. We had a variety of dishes which were all very nice. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Will definitely go again.

Perfect yo experience Great staff, food all great

Now our favourite restaurant when we visit the Atria.

I love the sushi in here although it's a small portion. 😅

I have been a Yo Sushi customer for many years eating at a number of different locations. Today was the most disappointing. The portions of sushi roll have more or less been cut in half with the prices remaining the same, the other dishes we had lacked in freshness and the same quality and flavour I have had in the past. Spending £50, I would expect a far better meal than my wife and I had. Very disappointed. Since leaving the above review I was contacted by customer services and offered a voucher towards another experience which was appreciated. Lets hope next time the food is better quality as previous visits and the sushi rolls are not so small.
