Yummy Sushi Bar in Leeds

Spotted yummy sushi bar as we were walking around the market, intended on just getting a main and a side each, ended up getting katsu chicken and rice, chicken yakisoba, chicken and duck gyoza, crunchy prawn maki, spicy tuna hand roll salmon iso roll. They were all prepared fresh as we sat and ate each individually as it came out. Thoroughly enjoyed each dish, we didn’t intend to have so much but as we enjoyed each bit we ended up ordering more Would highly recommend yummy sushi bar to anybody

There are no enough star how amazing this resto is. Hundred percent authentic, will recommend to my friends

The food its nice, well cooked, well made and most importantly very affordable and made infront of you The down side is Unfortunately it's not as authentic as Japanese sushi. Japanese sushi contains sake and mirin in the rice. the sushi here is designed to be halal to sell to muslim people and it simply doesn't taste the same as authentic Japanese sushi. you know an ethnic restaurant is quality if you see people of said ethnicity eating I haven't seen many Japanese eat here and ones who have say it's not authentic unfortunately. If you want something affordable here's a great place if you want someone authentic you are better off going to a chain sushi restaurant.

Amazing service and great quality food!

Sushi rice and the crab stick taste good. I appreciate especially the seasoning. The sauce for the beef tataki is also excellent. The roll is above average, especially in Leeds. If there is anything to improve, I myself prefer the texture of the rice to be more grainy（ grain-by-grain） than very sticky, although suchi rice is supposed to be sticky. Difficult to explain. Stick together not loosen, but still feel the rice bit by bit in mouth. For beef tataki, I think the taste of beef itself should be made stronger.

Had seen reviews of this place and thought I'd try for myself. WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. Superb sushi and really tasty ramen soup, freshly prepared in front of you. Definitely worth stopping by

I am so glad I came to this place thanks to glorious reviews on Google! The place serves some amazing food. Intially I was a bit lost in the menu and then the chef came over to help. He showed a host of vegan / vegetarian stuff that I ended up having difficulty choosing! I went for avocado and dried tomato maki and vegetable gyoza. Then I went for a tofu katsu curry with rice. All the items were delicious, freshly prepared and well presented. I will be coming back for more!

Beautiful Yakisoba, Diam is so friendly and welcomihg as well. Fresh, delicious, highly recommended!

This was an exciting find! An Afghan sushi chef must be rare…but he knows his stuff.

Can't recommend enough, our new favourite sushi bar for authentic, delicious Japanese food! Amazingly quick service (just us there) & felt like we had a private chef who was kind enough to share his ample knowledge on the food. Dian is so friendly and knowledgeable. He's an expert and previously worked in the Harvey Nichols Yo Sushi for 10 years. He takes huge pride in sourcing only the best sushi fish and it shows in the food being fantastic! Food cooked freshly in front of you with Dian checking in on preferences. Great value too- thanks 😃

Kept meaning to try it and finally did! Did not disappoint! Amazing katsu, lovely staff talking to me about the menu. Will be back to try more!

Particularly excellent quality food and value for money. Very fresh and made in front of you. Will go again for sure. The salmon was superb.

Amazing Pumpkin Katsu curry, really crispy and the sauce was amazing! Lots of other vegetarian options too so i was not strapped for choice. Lovely place to sit down for a nice quick meal in a vibrant environment. The staff serving me was extremely kind and welcoming as well! Will definitely be coming back.

Very good sushi! Definitely need to try if you like Japanese food

Delicious food and good conversation with the owner

Visited for the first time today and we will definitely be back. We had a selection of sushi and hot ramen dishes which were all fantastic. The chef/owner made everything fresh to our liking and made us feel very welcome. A very authentic experience.

The reviews are true! Delicious sushi and very quick and friendly customer service. Like being transported to Japan for a little while in the fantastic setting that is Leeds Kirkgate Market. A little off the beaten food path but worth finding!

Some of the best sushi I've had and the owner is very friendly!

Best sushi I ever had, freshly made. Store is unassuming, but dont be fooled. owner is super friendly sit you can eat your sushi at the bar as it's made.

Amazing food made fresh in front of you. Great service and very reasonable priced . Will definitely be back and would highly recommend

Absolutely amazing sushi. All perfectly fresh and fantastic flavours and textures, the owner/chef is a very talented and knowledgeable man. Do yourself a favour and try his fabulous food. 😍 It's so good we travel from Barnsley for his gorgeous sushi.

Had a lovely first visit at Yummy Sushi. Dian is an excellent sushi chef and host for what sushi cuisine is supposed to be -- an experience complimented by delicious food. I noticed right away that Dian cared deeply about the quality of the food he was serving when he described to us how he sourced his ingredients. It's rare that I can find gunkan Ikura that's to my liking here, but I found it right away on the easy to follow menu. It tasted phenomenal! All dishes are made to order, so everything tastes very fresh. The tuna and salmon sashimi melted in my mouth. My friend ordered maki rolls that made me envious of her choices. All around a great place in the market to get fresh sushi that won't break the bank. We will be back for more!

Super fresh, Super tasty. I've never had sushi this good in my 49 years of existence. The guy buys 100% Japanese ingredients and I was lucky enough to also try the tempura soft shell crab today, an off menu item, yummy sushi 🍣😋

Been coming here for years and it never fails to impress. Love to pop.in whenever I'm in Kirkgate Market.

Gorgeous food and really friendly service. We always try and eat here when we are shopping in town. The soft-shell crab isn’t on the menu but they will do it for you if they have it and it is GORGEOUS!

Incredible food, incredible service, I've never had a sushi experience like it. Not to mention the amazing value for money!

Amazing food and great, friendly service! Literally the best Katsu in Leeds.

The curry was delicious!!! Wanted to find this sushi bar for ages! The service made it even better

I have been coming to yummy sushi bar for a VERY long time now and though I have done many posts on Instagram about the food and location I have never done a Google one.. (To stress I have been a regular since the location opened back in 2018) Let me just say this is THE best place for sushi and Japanese inspired small plates in Leeds hands down Everything is made fresh Infront of you out of a wide varied menu of both hot and cold dishes, There are selections for vegetarians and I do believe vegan options are also available should it be mentioned before ordering Each dish is neatly presented and plated to a high standard and the owner and chef is proud to talk you through where he sources ingredients and how he creates them. Pricing is very adequate and is a lot cheaper than your big chain sushi locations (no names mentioned) and honestly you are not losing any quality or taste for the smaller charge. If you are looking for Japanese food or are a sushi lover I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping by Leeds market to come and visit and I assure you, you will leave impressed!

Honestly best sushi and noodles in leeds, the food is made right in front of you and it all taste amazing, I would defintly recommend this place and the furikake fries. 👍

Their food is way tooooooo salty

Lovely fresh sushi and noodles. You can sit up at the bar while you eat. The owner is clearly very passionate about his food and it shows. Very highly recommended. Choose this instead of Wagamamas.

One of the best sushi spots in Leeds ! x

Lovely guy. Lovely food. Good prices.

Had a really enjoyable lunch here. The prices were good and the owner couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back - there are lots of good things to try!

Really nice man. Delicious sushi. Excellent prices. Great spot. Really respect this gaff.

Great sushi place. Nice vegetarian selection, all made fresh and to order. Friendly owner. Would definitely go back again.

Really nice sushi place. Friendly owner who made some nice suggestions from his expansive menu. Ate vegetarian and it was superb. Honestly felt like some of the places I ate at in Japan.

The food is absolutely delicious, and is all freshly prepared to order. Such great value for money, good selection of dishes and very friendly service, 10/10.

Food was top, service was top, the gent was so passionate about his food and what he was making had a thoroughly great experience!

Wonderful halal food place the service was great, super quick and everything tasted fresh and delicious

Must try it if you’re in leeds. Did amazing fried octopus and had great customer service. 100% would recommend

Lovely food, great place to eat. My new favourite place for lunch! Try the salmon eggs 😍

This is the finest sushi bar in Leeds! The owner has a wealth of knowledge on every menu item he makes and is a charming conversationalist! Ignore the chain restaurants with their Westernised dishes, because there's no more authentic place than this!

This spot is great for a casual afternoon of Sush. Best Sushi around. Well worth it's money. Fantastic taste. Extremely experienced cook

Authentic sushi bar with great staff. Lovely blue soft shell crab today!

The owner is super friendly, the food is made in front of you and tastes great.

Top service, the gentleman serving us was polite, friendly and professional! Food was absolutely incredible and will most likely be back, price affordable and food super yummy, this is all I need!! Thank you

Best sushi I've ever had, served by a great guy!

Best sushi in Leeds and for a brilliant price. Popped in on my lunch break and tried the spicy tuna hand roll and a special soft shell crab tempura. The freshness of the ingredients was clear, and the owner seemed so passionate about the food he was serving. I’ll be going back for more as soon as I can.

Just been for the first time and had the beef curry Raman. Absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to return. Highly recommend

Really taste sushi and hot food as well Verry nice owner :) I really recommend!

Amazing food prepared fresh with a very friendly owner

If you are looking for a full flavour, fresh and made with love Japanese food look no further! This place is heaven for your taste buds. It is very rare you will find a place where food prepared with so much love, passion and dedication. Gentlemen really knows what he is doing and is very passionate about Japanese cuisine. I am shocked that someone managed to leave bad review for such a place, go eat mcdonald's then if you can not apreciate High-End cuisine.

Amazing food, have to go back and try more things that are on the menu.

Lovely and Friendly staff came with my friend who got California Dragon ISO Roll and I got cucumber maki so fresh and made in front of you Will definitely be back !!!

So tasty, generous portion and really good value. I had the tofu katsu curry and definitely recommend it.

Best sushi in leeds, served by a very friendly, knowledgeable guy. Just a counter in the market that you’d just as easily walk past. The chef prepares and talks you through everything right in front of you. All incredibly fresh, flavourful and authentic.

Friendly guy, friendly chat and amazing Sushi, made for you fresh there and then in front of you. Highly recommended.

Delicious food at an incredible price. Highly recommend to anybody coming to Leeds.

Fantastic food, made fresh for you when you order, the guy who runs it is a brilliant chef and really friendly. We'll certainly be back and will travel from Barnsley for his fabulous food, great prices too.

Highly recommend. Amazing food and top service 😊

i can easily say the chicken curry the owner does here is one of the single most amazing foods i have ever eaten in my life

I had the duck hand roll which unfortunately wasn’t sliced duck breast as illustrated but rather diced dry duck similar to chinese aromatic pancake style - I didn’t feel this valued to £5 however on the bright side the owner was very accommodating to tell me what was in the hand roll and made sure my preferences were in order as to the salad filling after asking. Looking at other review images it seems others had sliced duck in the wraps, perhaps it was because it was a Saturday and I got the ends however I feel then it shouldn’t have been served (as there wasn’t hoisin sauce either due to them being busy - this however wasn’t an issue for me). The prawn curry bowl for some reason tasted a little sour (?) it was perhaps in the curry sauce, my partner also noted her ‘beef taryaki and rice’ (as spelt on menu) was sour too strangely and didn’t value £9 either leaving her disappointed. Their service was great and so accommodating, I just wish the food had reflected this at the time.

Wonderful place! Delicious sushi and nice staff!!!!

Excellent lunchtime sushi & sashimi, plus lots more I've not (yet) tried. Fast & friendly, with top quality fish.

Went dining with a friend. Owner very friendly, and clearly passionate and knowledgeable about Japanese cuisine. He made great recommendations. We ordered a few plates of sushi (salmon platter, salmon maki, hamachi sashimi), seaweed, gyoza, tempura soft-shell crab, and teriyaki garlic beef. Everything was delicious, with the beef teriyaki (homemade sauce) particularly good. It was also extremely affordable, costing just north of £40 total for me and my dining companion total, which is great especially since this is usually a very expensive cuisine. I will be coming back as soon as I can!

Had a nice meal from yummy sushi bar , very nice taste, would recommend 100%

Gold standard food, great menu, terrific value and personable and warm service. Best sushi in Leeds. Well worth seeking out.

I had seafood ramen and it was lovely. ( I noticed it was less than half the price of the ramen bar on the Headrow). I am definitely coming back here.

This place is an absolute gem. Definitely some of the best food we've had in Leeds, and the owner is lovely! He helped us choose what we wanted and recommended some excellent specials (the soft shell crab was gorgeous). An unpretentious, authentic, rough & ready food stall for people that enjoy great simple food made by great real people.

Discovered this little hidden gem, thanks to reviews, just to the side hidden away near the main food court in kirkgate market. I have eaten at many sushi places, but I can honestly say this is the best sushi I have had for a very long time! It's been so difficult to find a good quality sushi place that doesn't charge you an arm and a leg! Of course there are so many other options if sushi isn't your thing.. including udon noodle soup, gyoza's, curry and much more! Would thoroughly recommend this place without a doubt, this is my new go to when in Leeds. The owner is so lovely and friendly too. If you're struggling to choose, he's more than happy to help you.

Easily my favorite place to get Sushi in Leeds. Excellent food, great service.

Always my go to if I'm at the markets. Come here at least once a month the owner is very friendly as well. Keeo up the good work😁

Great food, particularly the katsu curries, warm welcome and great service. First time we’ve been in 18 months and as good as ever.

Having been recommended this place by a friend, I thought I'd check it out during my visit to the market. Initially would have just been a taster/light lunch, but ended up ordering quite a bit more as the food was so good! Would recommend to all and I will be visiting this place on a regular.

Food Far Exceeded Expectation! Service Was Great The Gentleman That Served Us Was Happy To Talk And Added To The Overall Pleasant Experience.

Decent sushi, but the pumpkin katsu was fantastic! Crispy and saucy, really delicious, and served with such a friendly attitude. Will definitely be back

Fab and delicious food served smilingly and with love. Have been here at least 3 times now. And going back soon

Me and my family have been here many many times. Wicked food. Great owner. I LOVE the ramen. So brilliant that everything is made to order too. And really reasonably priced.

I just tried sushi, so I don't know about other dishes, but sushi wasn't fresh and rice wasn't cooked properly.

This place is really good, it has delicious food and friendly staff. Me and my siblings tried the chicken Katsu curry and the beef curry ramen and it was amazing !! Will definitely be coming back to try more food.

Best sushi in Leeds, really friendly owner, love the prawn tempura, sof shell crab and gyoza's

Amazing place. Great owner. Had the ginger beef teriyaki. Went with my friends and they loved it as well :).

Excellent prices and delicious food! Recommend the pumpkin katsu. Lovely place to sit and talk to owner.

Sushi freshly made and excellent quality and value. Very friendly proprietor. Would definitely recommend 👌

My friends and I found this stall, the kattsu was crispy and the curry was great! Love to come here again

My partner and I found this place early this year and really love to come visit as a treat! Every time we go the owner is so lovely, welcoming and friendly. Giving us great suggestions and details of the food. The pricing is really great for the quality of the dishes and if you're looking for recommendations definitely go for the Veg gyozas and salmon selection.

What a great find, tucked away to the side of the main food area in Kirkgate market. Delicious Sushi & udon freshly made in front of you, and friendly service from the owner. He takes phone orders too!

Amazing food!! The sushi is amazing and great prices!!

Amazing sushi at a super afordable price 😍

I was a little dubious about sushi from a market but the chef has over 10 years of experience and the quality of the food reflects that.
