YO! Sushi - Fenwick Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

He visitado esta rama yo sushi una vez, así como el que solía ser dentro de Fenwick. Mientras que un poco caro para porciones relativamente pequeño, el restaurante está limpio, con un montón de asientos, una amplia variedad de opciones y muy limpio busca personal amable.

friendly staff, only to happy to make me something vegetarian, gluten free and explain clearly what i could eat. Clean, busy and great atmosphere.

Como estábamos en Newcastle encontrarse con un amigo que nos llevó a Fenwick teníamos grifos en el nuevo restaurante muy bonito, mucho para elegir, compartimos una selección de pan para empezar, y selección de los grifos no es para conseguir postres . No sé la factura total como nuestros amigos delicia. Muy concurrido, con un personal amable

Popular, pero El Fenwick es tener un lavado de cara, y junto con YO. Sushi, Pret está cafetería ha ido demasiado.

We used to regularly come here for a bite to eat, however the last time was a while ago, the reason for this is a few of the dishes we enjoyed had been removed from the menu, eg pumpkin kareoke, proper love this but I was gutted when it wasn't there! It hasn't yet me off as there are a few other dishes we do enjoy but it's made the experience a little less exciting than usual.

Llamé a Fenwicks cuando no podía decidir lo que quería por mi almuerzo y vi Yo. Sushi. No me apetece un plato frío pero fui para el pollo Yakisoba caliente y estaba delicioso. Gran porción y era sólo £4,90 . Opté por quitar y sólo se tarda unos 5 minutos para ellos. No cabe duda de que para conseguir esto otra vez.

So easy and quick for a quick lunch stop in Newcastle. novel for children to pick and choose from the moving strip. Quite expensive if you eat a lot.

I am a regular at yo sushi at the Metro Center in Gateshead so whilst in Newcastle thought we would pop in, the difference between the two premises is like chalk n cheese. The set up in Fenwicks is just wrong and the sushi its self was bland, choice was limited to a small number of dishes, I appreciate this was blue Monday which in its self is a rip off as all the dishes offered are the cheaper ones anyway, all in all we left feeling dissapointed and will not be returning.

I went there a few times with friends. Really nice and helpful staff, very good sushi and tasty desserts. A place not to be missed.

He estado Yo. Sushi en Fenwick muchas veces en el pasado, y nunca me he molestado haciendo una crítica hasta ahora.

Yo! Sushi in Fenwick has been busy every time we've visited but we've always been seated quickly - no more than five minutes and usually less. We like the place because the staff are very friendly, the service is good and we enjoy the food. The choice of foods was as good this time as it always has been before and, when we wanted a dish that was slightly different from that on the menu - because of an allergy - it was produced quickly and without fuss. The only problem with the restaurant, and it's through no fault of the staff or concept, is that it's too easy to eat more than one intended. It'll probably stay that way; I hope so.

Decided to come here as my partner loves sushi and I promised him I would try it! Was not disappointed at all! The whole experience was really pleasant. I love the idea of being able to pick what you want when you want so there's no waiting around really. You can even order food that's not on the belt and they cook it for you really quickly. I tried my best at the raw tuna and the raw salmon but still stand by that it's just not for me, there is something for everyone though! I enjoyed the raw beef and the beef curry ramen was really nice!! The whole time the waitress fussed over my baby who loved the attention, they gave me something to cool her bottle down no bother and she even got a balloon!! Haha! Brilliant customer service, definitely not disappointed!!! Will be back soon!!!

If you've been to yo sushi before and like the concept then you will enjoy as we didNice food, good service and a good place to chat and people watch!!!Worth a visit especially on a Monday !!! Blue Monday.........

I love sushi and love yo sushi, the staff are so friendly, the food is fantastic! Great choice of sushi and puddings, very clean and well kept!

Fenwickというデパート？(モニュメントのそばにある）の１Ｆにある日本でいえば回転ずし屋さん。とはいっても握り寿司以外にサラダ、揚げナスの煮びたし、枝豆などちょっとしたおかずがきちんとふたをされて流れて来ます。刺身とやらもあるようです。流れてないものは60種類以上あるメニューの中からオーダーします。でもとにかく量が少ないです。温かいものとしては餃子・味噌汁・麺類なども。こちらは60種類とは別なのでかなりの選択肢があると言えるでしょう。寿司の味は日本の新鮮な魚を考えて食べてはダメです。ここはあくまでもイギリスだということを踏まえれば許せると思います。ただ,えっ!?これでその値段？と思いたくなりますが、値段は回転寿司と同じでお皿が色分けされているので安心です。日本と違って自由に飲めるお水もしっかりと￡1,2取られるのでご注意ください。テイクアウトもできます。

Just came back from a 2 week EuropeAn Holiday, and one of the stop was UK New Castle where my cousin lives... We stopped by at this mall, and ate here... Again I was impressed with food, so delicious!( ate in Yo Sushi Center City London 2013, and was impressed then) The service was awesome!!! I had a good time picking on Unkown food swinging by like a train, lol!!! Don't know the names , nor what it's made of, but turned out to be just as tasty as the ones before!!! Just love the experience!!! My daughters favorite too!!!

I love Yo Sushi. My favourite dish is the beef & garlic teriyaki. It's amazing a little expensive but totally worth it. The salmon sashimi & beef tataki are yummy too. Blue Plate Mondays are really good value for money. If you haven't been here then you need to go

This is a great place to eat. Food is fresh, accompaniments are freely available and unlimited, hot food is freshly cooked to order, staff are great too. Every time I go into Newcastle I wonder if I should try somewhere else for lunch, but every time I seem to be drawn irresistibly to Yo in Fenwicks. BTW to those who complain about the food quality, just ask for replacements of food not hot enough or fish you deem not fresh enough, don't rush to criticise online. I have never found it necessary to do this and I go there two or three times a week

Ok I don't expect fresh tuna but grey dull tuna is just not acceptable.The belt was under prepped for a Saturday lunch and I was underwhelmed by the very poor service you ask for help and you get a grunt from a team member that clearly doesn't care.i like Yo but would advise the better choice is the friendly Metrocentre branch for better service and choice try Yo metro great team.

It was very busy and we did have to wait ten minutes to be seated but once sat the service was great. The food is pretty standard for all these chain of restaurants. However, here the manager seemed to be taking charge and asked us a couple of times if we were ok. We liked the sunken condiments in the table not seen that before and was a little different. The place is inside the department store fenwicks and is great when shopping just to stop and chill.

Fabulous food, excellent service ... what's not to like?Please, please, please Yo! Sushi ... can you open a restaurant in Carlisle?

We sometimes order some boxes from nudo for lunch at work and the quality is consistently good. Also, I sometimes pop in when I'm in town to get a nice and healthy lunch. I personally don't think the price is too high because you get quality fresh food and decent portions.

I have visited this branch of Yo! A few times, this being my virgin branch. Great staff, first time, couldn't fault the food nor staff, and wrote the waiter a great review (something I'm fussy about doing unless deserved), I even got a call from the manager to say thank you. Second time I had a long and embarrassing nose bleed, which again the staff were helpful, brought me wet and dry tissue and a pot to put it in. Again food was lovely.

It was my 8 year old who kept nagging me to go to Yo! Eventually we agreed and we weren't disappointed. There is a good choice and the hot food has always been of a good standard. We have always found the service to be excellent and I really can't complain about any aspect. Only reason this didn't get 5 was because last time we went the firecracker rice wasn't as hot temperature wise as I would have liked.

Visited a few times now had excellent service and lovely food each time. It is always very busy and if you require a booth you may have to wait a little longer to get seated. But excellent quick service and nice food each time.

Love this company and used to many visits in different locations. Love the belt system as its s great scenario for the beginner to play with different dishes. Go visit as its fun

Love this place in the bosom on Fenwicks. The food off the belt is excellent and the food on order is make quickly. I particularly like the salmon firecracker rice and also the selfserve water taps are ingenious. Cameron was attentive and the only member of staff to consistently bring the correct order to the correct table also he was particularly patient with my poor Japanese pronunciation but guessed what i meant marvellously

We chose a busy day to visit Yo! Sushi but, even then, we were seated within about three minutes of asking for a slot/table. Service was generally polite, pleasant and quick. I love the conveyor belt system that's used in many Japanese-style restaurants but the belt here seemed to have a wider selection than most that I've seen. The food was good, with excellent flavours, and the portions seemed quite large, even though they are obviously worked out quite carefully. The meal wasn't cheap but it was good value for money, which is what we were after.

This is what you expect from the Yo! Sushi chain and I've eaten at quite a few. The difference is this in on the ground floor of a department store and not a stand-alone restaurant. The conveyor belt / central food preparation area is the tried and tested concept and paying according to the colour and number of dishes you have at the end makes things simple as long as you either know or it has been explained.The service this visit was a bit slow but they were busy and the experience overall was as good as ever. A great time and plenty to see either watching food being prepared or even glancing off into the food court of Fenwick's.

I love Yo Sushi food however this restaurant whenever I've been never really has much selection on the belts so there's not much to choose from so I always have to order the hot food. I don't mind that but I would prefer more selection on the belt.

The sushi here, considering i am a lover of sushi, is pretty good. Nothing more than adequate though.I must admit I've had nicer sushi from Waitrose. However, the service is great and the tap on the table for unlimited water is good! A little expensive for what it is though.

Been coming here for a few years, and i have noticed a deterioration over the last months in the level of service. Yo Sushi is known for it's fast & prompt service. But this place is getting very sloppy. No body came to seat me and i give up using the red button to gain someone's attention to order or try to get a bill. One dish never arrived at all.And when i finally did get my bill the waitress proceeded to moan and groan about her life. I am afraid that is something the Customer's simply don't wish to hear & is very unprofessional. Put together this has not left a favorable impression at all.

A great concept for Japanese food. Fresh food passing on a conveyor, paid for by the color of the plate. A bustling setting with good atmosphere, the food washed down with a nice Japanese beer.

It looked okay at first, little did I know ... We were told extremely briefly how to use the restaurant ( conveyer belt system) IT WAS NOT CLEAR that what were written as prices on top of the boxes were actually 'times', so I ended up paying twice the amount I expected. Service was slow, even though there were buttons to alert staff members. The food was very basic, fairly tasteless, overly pretentious and over priced. After feeling like I HAD BEEN TRICKED because of the unclear prices, I decided I had to say something. The man that I spoke to about the pricing was fairly rude, and not interested that I wasn't satisfied with my meal. I guess the customer is always wrong here, save your money.

Visited with a friend on a Sunday, not entirely impressed with the Sunday deal of spending £20 each for 10 choices, seems to me quite a high price. A amount I would find hard at a higher end restaurant.The service was great, the woman behind the counter came over to show me through the vegetarian options and kept checking in on us. I would recommend the Pumpkin Korroke. Simply put it filled me up and the price was reasonable.

My daughter and I visited for lunch on a 'blue plate' Monday. After a 10 minute wait to be seated we were shown to a table with 4 comfortable seats. Unbeknown to us they had just been washed and were soaking wet. After telling the staff the seats were dried but on going to sit down I slipped on what I realised was the soaking wet floor. Our request to be moved was hurriedly arranged! Now for the enjoyable part, the food which was delicious, light and varied. We tried several dishes and enjoyed them all. If only we'd had dry seats to begin!!

Cheaper plates on a monday, but at the time very little choice on the belt so ordered from the menu.

19th August just been sitting in Yo Sushi in Fenwicks Newcastle saw a poor Arab family ejected for complaining about the service the manager was so rude and called security to have them ejected from the store not a good advert for this store or restaurant, the family ordered food and it never came and they kept asking what was the delay I was seated behind them and to be honest the service was rubbish from an American waiter plus the manager was so aggressive towards them never go to this place again and very disappointed in fenwicks for supporting such shoddy behaviour from staff

Great sushi bar, went on a Monday so everything is £2.50, on the blue plates, had the chicken firecracker rice and green salad, tasty, took my teenage son and his friend and they loved it, great for a quick fun lunch :)

Beef teriyaki and garlic is so so good. Usually only weekend but if you request during the week they will more than likely do it for you!Friendly staff, comfy booths, relaxed atmosphere!

Yo! Sushi in Fenwick's is great for a quick lunch. You often have to queue but it is worth the wait. I always find the staff friendly and they will order food that is not on the belt without any fuss. It can get crowded but if you time it well you can get the booth seating which gives you more space to accommodate your shopping. There is only one low booth for wheelchairs/pushchairs so you may have to wait longer for this seating.

As a frequent visitor to the Birmingham Yo! Sushi in Selfridges I was disappointed in the limited range on offer and when we found out they don't do tempura we were gutted. What they had was to the usual standard and I would certainly visit Yo! Sushi again, just not this one.

Give this place a go. I nip in regularly. It's fun and it's quick. The food is great and very fresh. The service is excellent and there is always a good selection to choose from. It's not just Sushi..there is something for everyone

Visited for lunch, quite busy but got a booth which we prefer. Drinks order taken straight away and delivered quickly. Plenty of dishes on the belt including all our faves. Ordered a couple of dishes off the menu and we had them all within about 10mins.Easy to spend a lot of cash grabbing a few dishes but that's half the fun.Always a quick fun lunch - only ever get here on our hols but will be back soon.

I visit Yo Sushi on a regular basic, always a great experience.Food is always fresh, and hot dishes (or any dish you want not going around the belt) can be made for you and brought over quickly.Recommend to go on blue mondays, as the bill works out a LOT cheaper than any other day!!

visited plenty of times and always really enjoy it. The blue mondays menu is starting to go downhill and the choices aren't as good and extensive as they used to be. Also the price of the blue dishes has gone up so again not as good value!! Additionally to this I asked for a little pot of Katsu sauce as I love dipping the chicken and noodle dishes into it , and my friend had never tried katsu before and wanted a taster. We were told this was not allowed and I questioned this, saying I'd been given it on request on a previous visit. Apparently head office have put a stop to this and no little pots of katsu sauce are allowed! So yes, the value of yo sushi has definitely gone down in my opinion.Staff lovely and friendly , love the location in the busy food hall, plenty to watch around you

I ate here and enjoyed the various tastes from the options we chose.All fresh and tasty - being able to help yourself to dishes means it's very efficient if you only have a short period if time.I would recommend the special orders - but ask as soon as you arrive as you can see it bring cooked as you enjoy a starter plate or too .Friendly staff here too - will definitely repeat this again

Lots of people say it's too expensive but there's always blue Monday and super sumo Sunday. Besides, it's not a place I'd go to for a big meal anyway. More like a quick few bites at lunchtime. I've always found the service to be good, sometimes it's better than others though. Sometimes the staff to look rather bored but really that doesn't bother me. As for the food.... Of course its never gonna be the most authentic but I wouldn't expect it to be. That said it is very nice and I don't recall ever being disappointed by anything I've had there. As for the atmosphere it tends to depend on how busy Fenwick itself is however it's a place where I don't feel awkward dining alone (unfortunately none of my friends or family like sushi or they are unwilling to even try it).

The service was fairly poor, took them ages to come over to serve us and weren't very happy or friendly! The food was nice though, especially the firecraker rice.The prices were over the top! The dessert come in tiny portions and cost lots, albeit they were very tasty.

Not impressed on this occasion... Place was quiet for penultimate Saturday before Christmas. This showed in the selection of food on the belt... about a third of which was sweet... the water taps were not in operation and the staff in the galley area looked bored. We just wanted a snack (just as well) and each took 2 orange bowl dishes. The portions were tiny, even by Yo Sushi standards. We ordered a small beer and a diet coke. There was nothing redeeming to say about the food nor the experience. Just over 20 quid for what even with the two bowls of food combined could only be described as a modest size starter. Only plus side was we god a booth without having to wait!

Yo sushi is yo sushi, so you go there to eat over priced and not so fresh sushis, which is fine most of the time. However the service at the place is very poor, managers and other waiting staff were standing at the middle chatting and it was impossible to catch attention of any of them. While using the attention button, I was told to reset it myself, I don't mind doing it if I was asked politely and not ordered to do so.Also ordered 5 salmon sashimi, suddenly started going round the belt after I ordered it so they just decided not to bring me my sashimi and I had to get them myself. Not a big deal but could have came and tell me and not left me waiting and wondering if someone going to bring me the sashimi or not.The one in metro centre is a lot better, best to avoid.

This is one of my all time favourite places to eat. So much choice and you can have everything made fresh for you! It tastes a million times better than the sushi you buy from supermarkets etc. staff are lovely and helpful. Brilliant place!

Last 3/4 times I've been in Newcastle I've only ever had time to order and takeaway from yo! sushi. I remember going to Yo! sushi many years ago, as my first 'Japanese' restaurant. So I've always known the brand and always known its really good! So i don't have to think twice where ever i see a yo! sushi! Last few times we've been Newcastle we've been going to the yo sushi in the Fenwicks. Foods still up to standard but i find the staff very angry and miserable. I also dont understand as to why the different members of staff wear different uniforms there either. I only mention this because on our last visit there was a girl on the till with the normal yo sushi uniform on and what appeared to be 3 other members of staff wearing just what ever they wanted! As we were waiting for our takeout two other guys were also waiting. The girl on the till already had a face on her, was prepping the bags for when the food was ready. The guy in front of us, order was ready and she didnt even hand the bag to him. She just sorta went, there. When he had a look in the bag he couldnt see his chopsticks, so mentioned this to her. She rolled her eyes said something like 'they're in there' and didnt bother so show him or offer him another set. It was all just a bit rude to be fair! The rating i give is just for the food. Im just happy we dont have the time to sit in and have to tolerate this attitude! Such a shame as the chefs looked as if they were having a whale of a time and the food is actually really good from there. Good enough to take from Newcastle to Carlisle!

Me and my boyfriend used to be regular diners here as the food was excellent and we usually got good service, in fact we sometimes got little discounts as staff recognised us as regulars. However, this time we came in to the restaurant at 7 and were told it shut at 8 and last orders were at half 7. That was fine as we weren't planning on being there long. We sat down and made an order straight away with a boy who has served us before and always been a bit miserable, but the rest of the experience always made up for it so we overlooked this. By quarter past, other customers had left and we were told it was last orders. Although we were told half past, this was fine as we didn't want to order anything. I ate off the belt while my boyfriend waited for his order. Then every single member of staff started packing up and cleaning the restaurant, it was so rude -to the point where they were cleaning the backs of the chairs we were sitting on! I work in a shop and I know how annoying lingering customers at closing time can be but this was just beyond rude - and still half an hour before closing! We started to notice at they had packed away everything in the kitchen and weren't making my boyfriends order, even the boy who took our order was paying no attention. So as we were in a hurry we just got the bill, and the girl who gave it to us made it very clear she wanted us to leave quickly as she was very abrupt and rude, and she didn't give us a receipt, probably because there is a feedback page on it and she knew that we had received terrible service! It's such a shame as we used to love dining there regularly but this has totally spoiled it for us, we haven't returned since and won't be again. By the looks of other reviews on here it seems the customer service has gone downhill for some reason and its such a shame.

Been to a few Yo Sushi'ssss and the staff are usually fairly pleasant. The staff here were mostly, really friendly, including the chefs. Except one certain female had a right face on her. Silly miserable woman! Other than that, the other staff were great. Smiley and friendly. Nice and chatty too and helpful. Would definately go here again but would be made even better if the grumpy woman could take some happy pills :)

Went in quite late about 25 mins before closing, but the manger welcomed us with no issues. You could only choose from what was on the belt but what do you expect so close to closing. After having our fill and a drink or two we went to pay. After paying we where offered a free tray of there take out selection as they where only going out of date. Never had any issues with this outlet in all the times since I would never go anywhere else for sushi in Newcastle.

I've been to Yo-sushi once and, it was alright, sushi are fresh, but I think it's very expensive especially if you get the orange or grey plate. Not too great when you're very hungry and want to dig in.Need more variety of authentic Japanese food like okonomiyaki

I went to Yo Sushi with a friend on Monday - it was blue mondays and the food was really good. At times when there wasn't much on the belt the chefs were making up whatever you wanted. However, the servers could have been a bit more pleasant. There was one girl wearing red lipstick who didn't smile at all and I found her a bit intimidating when she was taking our orders, if you can't manage basic courtesy with your guests then why work in the service industry?You're probably better off going to the one in the Metrocentre.

Chose to visit as I've walked past it many many times. Wish I hadn't bothered. If you want sushi in Newcastle St Sushi is far better value for money and quality.It is a bit of a novelty to eat at Yo Sushi and eat off a conveyor belt. They have a good choice of food but it can prove quite expensive. Almost all the dishes I tried were tasteless. So much so that I ended up using lots of wasabi just to try and give some flavour.

Totally tasteless food! Not even close to what Sushi should be like. This is an insult to the Japanese quisine. Should you have defunct taste buds and you would wish to eat till you are replete you better re-mortgage your house.

Came to Newcastle to do some Xmas shopping and always like to visit yo sushi as not often you get to do something different. It might not be the best quality sushi (yo sushi in general), I don't know, but I always enjoy the food there.The service is always quick and pleasant and was no different on this occasion, absolutely no qualms at all with any of the waiters or waitresses.Similarly the food arrived quickly as it always does.However the food was not up to its usual standards. The selections on the conveyor were ok, but the hot food to order was warm at best. Which for the portion size makes it eatable because it doesn't get much chance to cool down - however would have preferred it to be hotter.All in all an okay experience, however it can be quite a costly lunch.Will be back, but the one in Leeds at the top of Harvey Nichols is better in my opinion.

I usually stop here for lunch when I'm in Newcastle on my own. The service is quick, the sushi is good, they make it if it's not on the belt. Good for lunch in a rush or on your own.

Really lovely food and always fresh, we eat here quite alot when in Town. The only thing that really annoys me (and others have said this) is that the staff stand around the kitchen area and chat to each other, paying little attention to the customers. It is very difficult to catch their attention if you want to order a special dish or ask for the bill.Real shame, as that spoils the experience.

I stood around for what seemed like an eternity before I was seated, but once I sat down the service was fine. If you know the routine here, you know how it goes. Lots of tasty dishes pass in front of your eyes and you pick up what you want. Food is coloured coded, each plate has a different colour and this relates to a price. If you want something cooked there is a button beside the condiments, and if you press the button a member of staff takes your order. I defy anyone above a certain age not to think of The Generation Game, or a cuddly toy while surveying the conveyor belt :0) I thought it was expensive, but I did eat quite a lot, so keep an eye of the colour of the plates when you are choosing. But food is good and the staff are very friendly. This is a relaxed and informal environment perfect for enjoying with a friends.

Visited yo sushi in fenwicks again. Nice quality food and speedy service. If you want to spend more time and have a chat with your dining companions I would recommend that you ask for a booth, otherwise as in most of the yo sushi places you will be sitting side by side which makes conversation difficult if there are more than two of you in your party.I'm not actually a fan of sushi but there are lots of hot dishes available which are very good. Also there are set menus for diners who are new to this type of food. The only disappointment for me at the fenwicks one is that they do not serve tempura, which I had at yo sushi in London and really enjoyed. Some good healthy options here too.

The Northern versions especially in the Metro Centre are very different to the London versions, have a look at my title. I will explain, because London has a high volume of asian tourists with discerning appetites they use a lot of raw fish and present some interesting food. Most of what is on offer here you can make at home. Expensive and poor.

It's a great family place or just for the two of you when you've been shopping. Reasonably priced, lots of choice, and a people watching experience. Our teenagers can't get enough of the place and it's fabulous for attracting youngsters because of the conveyor belt! Staff are very friendly. Certainly worth a visit - as is Fenwick!

We've been to YO! Sushi at Fenwicks a number of times and we were never disappointed. It's a nice place to sample different dishes. Occasionally, the selection on the conveyor belt hasn't been that varied, but you can order off the menu, and the staff will prepare dishes fairly quickly. Dishes are less expensive all around on Blue Mondays, so this is a great time to try some of the generally pricier dishes.

I'm a dedicated Yo! fan and always go to Yo! for a treat. On the occasions I have been to Fenwick's Yo! I have enjoyed it very much. However my most recent visit was marred by slow service: the belt lacked many of the best plates, and waiting staff were slow to answer requests to order - despite a plethora of staff milling around.Nevertheless, the food was its usual tasty self. I know people complain about Yo!s prices - but I reckon it's always worth it!!

My partner and I always enjoy Yo Sushi, Newcastle was no exception. It was minus temperatures outside but just minutes after being greeted and seated we were warming ourselves with Miso Soup. The staff were smiley and friendly, the salmon sushimi extremely fresh and the service what I've grown to expect from our visits to Glasgow and Edinburgh Yo's. My favourite as always is the Duck Gyoza, the Miso sauce which accompanies it sends my tastebuds crazy. My only complaint is there are no toilets in the restaurant, and none at all located on the entire floor. It's probably Fenwick's who are to blame for this though.

Quick bite before a long drive home - had never visited a YO! Sushi before, so thought I would give it a try.Despite being extremely busy with after-work crowds and Xmas shoppers, I was seated immediately. Menu explained, drinks and hot food order taken, and then there's almost hypnotic way the wee plates trundle around the belt...Waiting staff seemed to be super-capable, despite how busy the place was. Hot food order came within minutes which I followed with a few items from the belt, which appeared to have pretty much everything from the menu travelling by - certainly had no problems spotting something on the menu, then finding it quickly on the belt.The clean surroundings, easy to understand menu (great for folk who aren't too used to Japanese food or who only want certain items rather than a larger meal) and fast service all help the place to build a nice atmosphere - the pricing doesn't, and it's easy to spend £20 and still feel hungry afterwards.

I keep giving Yo Sushi the benefit of the doubt but every time I return I am disappointed. The food is average and overpriced. In Newcastle today the Pumpkin Karoke tasted of over-used cooking oil rather than pumpkin. I've stopped going in Manchester as there are better and cheaper alternatives.
