YO! Sushi - Royal Festival Hall in Lambeth

Volvimos a esta cadena porque fuimos en Bristol y nos gustó mucho. Pero este en concreto, nos desilusionó porque la atención desde el principio fue mala debido a que tardaron mucho en atendernos. Por otro lado, la comida era repetitiva y no añadían a la cinta platos nuevos.

Visité el restaurante sin ninguna expectativa, fui a un concierto en el Royal Festival Hall y nunca había estado en esa área antes. Salí temprano de mi hotel cuando esperaba que algún restaurante estuviera allí. Había tanta gente como era posible y vi un restaurante y todos los antojos. Fue llevado a un lugar por la cinta transportadora con varias piezas de tales y otros japoneses pasaron por una cinta transportadora que es común en los Estados Unidos. Tomé un poco y todavía pedí un plato de salmón con diferentes piezas hechas con salmón. Si el concierto no hubiera comenzado pronto, probablemente me hubiera quedado toda la noche tomando más y más platos y todos fueron igual de buenos. Muy recomendado por mi! !

Este lugar es asombroso. No pudimos evitar cada plato que revivimos, pero lo adoramos por completo. El personal es muy agradable y tranquilo con todos. Una variedad tan larga de comida para elegir. 100% recomendado Por favor ve allí. Lo amarás. Todo sobre esta idea es impecable. Perfecto para toda la familia, sushi y todo tipo. Pero también es perfecto para quienes no les gusta el sushi. Hay cosas como papas fritas y chi ken e incluso hamburguesas. Obviamente principalmente sushi pero otras cosas para.Escrito por la dicha

That was the first thing the waiter said to me - not after I’d looked at the menu, but when I walked in, “what do you want?” “Dinner” I replied and he told me that I’d need to wait a minute (no the restaurant wasn’t full). I left. Don’t bother.

Siempre he sido un poco reacio a ir a un lugar de sushi después de encontrarnos con un poco de sushi cuando era más joven, pero la Sra. C es parcial y a mi hija y yerno les gusta así que fuimos, muy gratamente sorprendidos por la variación en el menú , Comí arroz frito, taco de inari y una hamburguesa de teriyaki con champiñones (ya ves, pensé que todo lo que tendrían serían cosas envueltas en algas marinas), toda mi comida era realmente buena, los otros tenían katsu de calabaza, edamame y otras cosas más de los cuales se pronunció bien.Dos pequeñas quejas, una de ellas es el cargo por servicio, algo que realmente detesto, y la segunda me encantaron algunas papas fritas, pero les han afeitado las hojuelas de bonito, la última vez que me veía bonito era un pez y ser un vegetal que las convierte en un no no (yo ya sabes, abrazar árboles, kaftan con un bicho raro vegetariano, puedo oírte gritar), ¿tal vez si preguntas si lo harán sin ellos?Pero en general disfruté de mi visita a Yo Sushi y definitivamente volveré a una

I should’ve just walked out the moment the waiter saw me trying to order and just gave a dirty look and continued walking. I had to wait over 15 mins before I finally got the bill when I asked another staff member for the bill. Meanwhile, I watched my first waiter quite literally ignore me and go on to serve other customers who’d just arrived. I work as a waiter so I’m usually the most sympathetic to customer service workers but this was just ridiculous. And no, the restaurant wasn’t busy nor understaffed.

Visited many times here and usual top standard, great service especially from Kayleigh, Ivan and Gianni! Thank you! Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Beautiful food but we had to remind the waiter/waitress about three times for fries and one of our party waited for ages for a dish which never appeared on the conveyor belt and then when ordered took a couple of times of reminding before it appeared. YO! Also have a policy of putting a service charge on the bill without asking and you will struggle to have it removed... we are not Londoners so are not used to this policy, not sure we would have tipped 10% as the service was not good.

Fantastic food Excellent service from the manager - got a table quicker than expected Was lovely to the young children Charged my phone for me!

Accueil à revoir et je trouve que c'est excessivement cher pour ce que c'est: 3 sushis et 1 soupe pour 60€ !!

I usually love Yo Sushi and have never had an issue with service (particularly considering it works on a conveyer belt system). However this was extremely disappointing. Me and my friend popped in for a quick bite, but ended up almost missing our show because the service was unbelievably slow - as well as incredibly rude. In the end we had to literally go and hunt down a server and beg them for the bill after being ignored (something I’ve never had to do). When we went up to pay a family was having issues of their own and wanted comped food. However, instead of helping us deal with our bill quickly, the waitress just stood and gawped at her colleague who was dealing with the other group’s issue. When we left we also realised she added an extra plate to our bill! I’ve worked in customer service jobs and honestly everything they did that night was wrong. I will never visit this branch again.

I've visited many Yo Sushi restaurants in several UK locations. I really like Yo Sushi.

I went to Yo! Sushi 3 times in London and they keep telling me that there are no popcorn shrimps and thats why I hate Yo! Sushi now.

We had the best time this evening, our waitress Kayleigh was so friendly and it was really nice to talk to her. We left feeling really looked after and will definitely be back! Thank you so much :)

Amazing time here being sat immediately and served straight away with our sushi and drinks! Kayleigh made us feel so welcome and kept coming over to check on us and get us anything we asked for. We will definitely be coming back again!

Having a rather long walk back to our hotel at Tower Hill we decided that we needed some food and drink to keep us going on our journey.

Was looking for a quick lunch, was welcomed by Kayleigh, who was very friendly and helped me with my veg options. End up eating in instead of take out and enjoyed my pumpkin curry. Thank you Kayleigh for the service and advice.

We had a very nice lunch. Good food and nice staff. The waiter Dan was very serviced minded and helped us explaining the different courses. Nice location.

We stopped off at Yo Sushi for dinner and were sat in a booth that allowed us to see and feel the atmosphere of Southbank which was lovely. Our waitress Kayleigh was very welcoming and attentive and took the time to talk us through some of the dishes. The food was great and fresh and we really enjoyed some of the new dishes on the menu. My mum and I come to Yo a lot, and this branch is definitely the best we have visited so far. The decor is also modern and colourful. We shall be back!

We visited on a very hot day and were begrudgingly seated by a man who told us 'I'm busy, I'll be back in a minute' - we found the menus ourselves and then realised that we hadn't cooled down from the heat and realised that was because there was no air-conditioning in the restaurant.

Ok it is a cool gimmick the transport system for the sushi plates. The quality of the food was really good. Nice flavors friendly staff. We bed a Nice lunch

Family of four. Some of the most disappointing sushi we have ever had. Worst value we have had in England.

Love this restaurant. Kayleigh was great, very friendly and helpful Food was amazing. Definately worth a trip.

To be honest the sushi just isn't that good... If you consider the price combined with the general expense of sushi it is okay... not much more.

Great first experience very positive and upbeat waitress named Kayleigh would definitely recommend!!

Great location and fast and efficient service. Our waiter, Kayleigh was really attentive and was able to make some great recommendations with our drinks. Overall excellent experience!

I have been going to Yo for a long time, many across the UK and this was was without doubt the most disgusting one ever. Sushi was not cold at all, it was dry. They didn’t have all things needed at the table. They took ages to serve us and bring the glasses for water. They were very very rude. And toilets well dirty, water everywhere, only tow cubicles and clogged without toilet paper. AND THEY EVEN CHARGE YOU A SERVICE CHARGE! Outrageous. Never again.

First time at Yo Sushi and am happy with the experience Chill atmosphere and good food and very helpful waiters, like Kayleigh.

The food is always quick to come out when requested and the food is as delicious as always. Kayleigh was very helpful, along with the rest of the staff

I've never been to Yo Sushi before and I can honestly say this has been one of the best experiences.

Everything is lovely and there are so many options. I’ve never seen a Yo! Sushi convey belt so full of food. The staff were very friendly too, especially Kayleigh

I used to come to this restaurant really often when I was living in London, so I was excited to go back and show the restaurant to my friends who came with me in our holidays.

Sushi is old, mediocre at best. Miso soup comes from a machine. Service was terrible and we tried to get any server’s attention for over 20 minutes to both order and pay. Don’t waste your time or momey eating here.

Been many times to YO! Sushi, but this is likely the last time. Had to wait 20 minutes for drinks and a soya sauce refill. Conveyor belt was almost empty. Pieces of sushi that we then ordered where cut so thin that there was almost nothing to grab onto. Wrong price of drinks on bill and personnel didn’t seem to care saying it was only 20p difference.

It was a bit crowded, but still they could do much better. Waiters do not care, waited 10 min for soy sauce to be refilled. No soy sauce plates on the table, they didnt bother to bring any.

Visited Yo Sushi on my own for a quick snack before going to a show at the NT.

Attempted to visit for a special occasion, arrived for our booking on time to be told they had given our table to someone else, and we could sit at the bar. Literally no apology and completely apathetic team who clearly cant manage reservations.

Im ganzen Restaurant merkt man ziemlich schnell, dass nicht ein Funken Liebe steckt. Warmer Weißwein, schmutzige Gläser und Sushi, welches seine beste Zeit noch nie hatte.

We had an early lunch on a weekday and found the selection of dishes much better than the main Waterloo restaurant. Freshly prepared and plenty of choice - in fact, much tastier than the same dishes in the numerous Yo Sushi restaurants we have eaten in. Service was slow and patchy, and the buzzers for service didn't work. No queue as we were eating around 12.30.

Ok so for a bank holiday (Easter Sunday) should I have expected more?

Dont waste your money on this place. Over-priced for average fare. Took 20 minutes to take an order (ignore the buzzers) and another 20 for two small hot dishes to arrive. No apology. No interest in the customer.

Visited here after a long stroll along the Thames. We have eaten at yo sushi many of times.

An exceptional spot to sit and watch London go by on a sunny spring afternoon. But sadly the service was poor, and the food only average. Prawn gyoza overcooked, and had to wait ages for the Nagiri platter. The venue really wasn't busy enough to justify the wait. Nevertheless I spent a glorious afternoon here - the location alone saves it.

Busy place handled as well as can be expected with everyone wanting to eat at the same time. Sushi was good- salmon slices keep getting smaller. Wanted more variety including unagi

Waiters were rude, they were rushing our orders and us! We took our own food but they charged us ‘Service fee’ which is silly and outrageous considering their poor behaviour. Food is expensive and definitely bad. Worst sushi ever. Don’t go here!

It’s been a while since we went to a YO! Sushi restaurant, and our experience has always been positive in the past. The staff were very friendly. As I am gluten intolerant, I was given the allergy menu but didn’t realise I could have had gluten free soya sauce as this was not offered. There was very little that I could have in the end, and the few things that I could have didn’t come around on the conveyer belt. We were told afterwards we should have ordered instead- it would have been helpful to know this at the start! On the plus side, our 4 year old enjoyed the novelty of the experience and found some dishes he really enjoyed. An expensive meal to come out feeling hungry!

My first ever visit to a Yo Sushi restaurant and what a disappointment. Plenty of waiting staff, but they all seemed more interested in chatting to colleagues. As it was my first visit, which they were aware of, no one was on hand to explain the concept (they could learn a lot from the Nando’s chain). The food veered from tasty to mediocre but I came away feeling disappointed. If the staff in this particular location were vaguely interested, it would have been a whole lot better.

Had lunch at the Southbank location yesterday. A great location and the food and service was perfect. Loved the choices availible and the staff were attentive and friendly. Will most certainly be back on my next visit to London.

I was waiting for my husband for dinner after a long 12 hour shift. The atmosphere was amazing and it just made me come alive again. The Manager( I am assuming as he was dressed Smart casual) greeted me and took me to the waiting stools while he got me a cubicle. I must say the food was amazing, specially the Korean fried chicken and Katsu curry. But what made it a 10/10 experience was that everything was on point. Not just the food. The service, very very friendly with big smiles, the lights, the location. It was a service which lots of central London places lack.

Visited for lunch during the holidays, we were disappointed with the sushi. Lot of the offerings were slathered in mayonnaise and taste factor was not high. The stuff circulating on the track bore little resemblance to the food pictured in the menu and the format is getting tired. Not great...

J’ai déjà été plusieurs fois au Yo Sushi de St Pancras qui est excellent avec personnel super sympathique, mais celui ci ne vaux clairement pas le détour. Le personnel nous a ignoré pendant 30 min, même en appuyant sur le fameux bouton pour demander de l’aide. La nourriture reste bonne, mais l’accueil est trop décevant.

Myself and my son was greeted by the waiters who literally could not do enough to make us feel welcome! Alberto served us, he was so friendly and bent over backwards to make our experience there great. The food was so delicious! I’m a yo sushi fan but I’d go out of my way to come back to this branch due to the amazing staff.

We came in on a rainy Friday evening and were greeted by a friendly waiter who told us and the couple in front of us to sit down and the wait would be approx. 5mins.

We were really looking forward to vising YoSushi with my partner and son for my birthday lunch. Unfortunately, even though the food was nice, service was extremely poor. We walked in to a fairly busy restaurant, no one was really focused on greeting or seating us so I had to ask a waiter if we can get a table. We were sat down and menus were handed to us without any explanation as to how the ordering process work. I had to ask a waiter over after some time, and although he explained how everything works he didn't feel enthusiastic even a bit and wouldn't even offer any drinks hadn't I asked. Overall, I don't think we actually received any service in this restaurant, disappointed now that I didn't ask for the service charge back.

I walked into the restaurant. It was not very crowded but had a good amount of people there. I was greeted and placed at a bar in front of a conveyor belts and handed a very large menu. No one came over to show me what things were. I say the colored plates and color code on the menu so I was able to figure that out but when the guy brought me my drink I made the comment "I hope I can find things I like I have no idea what is coming across". He laughed and walked away. Nothing looked like the pictures and I was able to get a few things of sashimi and salmon sushi that I recognized. I waited over 30 minutes to try and figure the items out. with the scratched lids on them it was really hard to see what things were. The things I knew I wanted, I never saw and no one ever came up and asked me. I finally gave up. Paid the small bill and while I was walking out told the "host" that I was really disappointed and would have probably spent at last 3 times the bill had someone helped. He asked me if I wanted an item to try for free. I replied that's not what I wanted and you missed the point. I walked out. VERY poor service. I left went somewhere else and spent 65 pounds for another meal. Their loss. I will say, the good I did have was good.

Our waiter was lovely, helpful and patient. However the food was mediocre in my view. Some of the beef teriyaki was tough and inedible. Generally it was a bit bland. Wipe clean tables

A friend and I came here for dinner on a Sunday evening. We were served really quickly - the food arrived within 15 minutes and we had service with a smile from Gianni the waiter.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. The location is great, the food is consistently good, it has stunning views of the river and the smiling, happy team led by the charming Marzanna go out of their way to keep customers happy and the food flying.

Beware that their offer days don't work. We went on Green Wednesday only to find they don't do Green Wednesday so we said ok that's fine but we do have student discount, they then responded they don't do student discount on Green Wednesday's!

We had dinner 6 of us and the service was so good , special thank you to Harry and his great recommendations we had the most lovely food! And a Spanish girl was very lovely too, even tho the restaurant was full we had a nice time! Definitely will be back

My husband and I visited yo sushi on the Southbank as part of our date day to celebrate our anniversary. It was my husbands first experience of yo sushi and my second time and we very much enjoyed it. The food was delicious and there is so many options. Our server Nico reccomended the beef teriyaki and it did not disappoint it was delicious. Our only negative comment was that nico explained how yo sushi works, as they do to all customers, and explained about pressing the button to call a waiter but when I pressed the button noone came. I eventually called a waiter as they passed only to be told the call bells don't always work. I felt like saying what was the point in telling us about it then. Our other server was Nicole, she was very friendly. The rest of the service was good and we very much enjoyed our visit.

Poor service but good food, from the moment we walked in the waitress wasn’t interested in seating us and we had to ask to be seated which the waitress reluctantly did, when seated they never returned to take our order despite pressing the button numerous times. One waitress was stood on her phone voice noting in the middle of a busy restaurant! After paying the bill and leaving when we said goodbye the waiter completely ignored us, normally love yo sushi and was looking forward to it but this yo sushi wasn’t as great, luckily the food was nice.

La comida es fresca y de calidad, muy rica. Una experiencia única y divertida. Los camareros son super simpáticos (Harry y Nicole).

Went in this afternoon in this lovely place. My best friend is living in London and as we are a very sushi lover we decided to stop at Yo Sushi in Southbank. A lovely Spanish guy was on the door and seated us very quick even if it was very busy. Service was very quick as well and food was acceptable. What impressed us more was Adrian with his shocking smile.

My girlfriend and I visited on the 9th of August on an exceptionally rainy. We walked in soaked, hoping to have some lunch and were taken to our seats.

Quick service, food was really nice, very nice location, very friendly waiters (ours was called Harry), lively atmosphere.

The temperature is too high to serve sushi and they keep the restaurant open. Asked for a sparkling wine bottle and came at room temp and they tried to fix it w a bucket of water. Sorry usually I dont do bad reviews but this case is worth.

We spent our new years eve at Yo Sushi. It was lovley. Food really good, Location nice and comfortable.

Me and my friend came for a spontanious meal on Tue evening. It was crazy busy!

This restaurant was the only one in the area that was not heaving with customers which should have set alarm bells ringing..

Great time with my husband and nice decor! Option to sit outside and take in all of Southbank action. Staff (harry, paola and roberto) were super friendly and attentive and made great suggestions! Cant wait to return :)

Went to their Copenhagen branch recently and had an awful experience. Was invited back to the south bank branch and had such a lovely time. Staff were excellent and food was amazing. Thank you.

I´ve been with a friend who is visiting me for a few days and we had a really nice dinner. Sushi, gyozas and yakishoba are very tasty and the chocolate moccis are delicious! The staff is very kind, polite and friendly. Great experience, we´ll definitely go back :)

atmosphere was very relaxed, staff were friendly and happy to help, food orders arrived very quickly

Perfect sunset, a good glass of wine, great sushi and a fab evening in London. Would definitely recommend this for an enjoyable evening after work with friends in the summer!

My son brought the family here whilst visiting him in London to “try something different”. Everyone really enjoyed the experience, food was lovely, staff happy to help the more “food ignorant” members of our party. Quite happily return and again and recommend others to give it a go, it’s fun.

I’ve been to yo sushi a few times and finally thought I should leave a review for this one . It’s pretty much Japanese fusion tapas, which is great when you have two picky kids who decide they want something else half way through the meal. These plates fill you up fast if you’re smart about what you get. I got the breaded chicken curry and the spicy rice and was full (still managed to squeeze in a desert of course).

it was my first time in yosushi. Staff was very helpful, explained to me every detail. Sushi was very fresh and tasty

We go to yo sushi atleast every 2 months for the last 8 years accross the uk - so we know what to expect..

i popped in for a quick early dinner so the restaurant was fairly empty

What an amazing restaurant - we were sitting outside , it was fabulous, the food great and the service was extremely attentive , it is not the first time I go there, and it is always so good and the team are the best .

I went to Yo Sushi yesterday and for sure I won't be coming back, I had the worst sushi in my life. I ordered a glass of white wine and it tasted like vinegar. The place seemed dirty and the service was quite bad. At the end bill came to £50 for 2 people and it seemed like a rip off. Avoid that place!!!

Slick,though not a perfect service,yet we were asked if we wanted to pay a service charge ? Strange being an automated Sushi cafe'.

This is the first time we had conveyer belt sushi. It’s fun for kids. The food is OK. Service is great!

Unfortunately the automated sushi track was out of order, but the service was OK and every order was brought to the table in time.

Such a lovely place to go with my family! My mother and I took my 3 children hear to try something different and there was something for all of us!! Inside was very clean. The manager couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome and make sure the kids were happy. Such friendly staff and excellent food cooked to perfection!! We can’t wait to come back!

Φάγαμε εξαιρετικό shusi και εκπληκτική σούπα θαλασσινών. Πολύ όμορφος χώρος και πολύ καλή εξυπηρέτηση.

Food was lovely, as usual, but the service was a little hit and miss. One female server we had was fab, however we were also a little disappointed. We came into the restaurant and were stood for 7ish minutes waiting for someone to seat us. Since no-one came, we assumed it must have meant we were to just sit at a table rather than be seated so we sat down at a free table, which was still to be cleared. It turns out it was just slow service as we were told off by a waiter who wanted to clean the table! We were fine to stand up and wait for it to be cleared, but he then told us we were wrong to have sat down. We told him we had waited but no one came so presumed we had to just find a table, and he said we'd have to go as there might be a waiting list. It was a little bit of a rude and abrupt introduction, but we sat down again and the female server we had afterwards was lovely. There was no waiting list. I understand that he needed to clear the table, but we thought the way he spoke to us was a little unjustified. The rest of our meal was great though.

Wanted to have something to eat after attending the amazing Finnish Sauna at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Decided to go to Yo Sushi! and was served by a wonderful and charming guy called Mario. He made the evening a delight. Thank you Mario :^)

My mother and I went for a snack and ended up eating starters, main and dessert. We were served by Malio who made sure we were satisfied at any point in time. It was a lovely meal out, we enjoyed it so much!

Dined here with my sister last week. The waiter was very attentive and helped my sister with her food choices as it was her first Yo! experience. His name was Malio Buffoni. We made a point of finding out.

So me and my boyfriend decided to eat at YoSushi after Uni and after today we might more often

Tina sat us..excellent personality and took great care of us. If you get beer, ask them to get it from the back of the frig so it's cold.

Great service from Malio & Timea ! Delicious food and good service! Quick and cheap dinner!! 5 stars!

Went to this place for lunch. Good food and perfect service from Malio. I would definately recommend this place.

Super accueil, rapide, simple, délicieux et fun. Grand choix de mets frais pour tout les palais. Thanks Mario !!!

Had a great lunch with my friends! The quality of the food was great and we had such a good time! Extremely clean. The staff is super nice as well, special thanks to Malio 😊 will be back

I visited this restaurant with my girlfriend tonight. We got some really good food, although the service from our waiter was extraordinary. We were in good hands with waiter Malio. He was a fun, sweet and open minded guy, who really improved the experience altogether. Would definitely visit this restaurant again.

Chef picking up his nose and making sushi with half pants down...felt even ashamed to go and speak to the manager as it was busy, just left and went to Strada after eating only 4 nigiri.

Went for a quick bite before an evening event.
