The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Guildhall York Yorkshire and The Humber

One of the nicest Japanese meals I've had. Great value too. Will be returning

Local and come here lots. Food is amazing, lots of vegetarian and vegan options, and gluten free options, and there’s always new specials. So many deserts and drink options, from alcohols to matcha, soft drinks, teas and hot chocolates. I am inclined to their unique selection of high quality teas, their jasmine tea one of the best I’ve tried. Service is always quick and very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is so peaceful and calm. And of course the place and outside area are beautifully decorated. Reasonably priced as well. The most underrated cafe in York by far.

Food was fine but delivery was awful. I called Sushi & Bowl at 17:30 who said the driver had left at 17:15, 5 mins after the time I was given for delivery. Shouldn't charge a delivery fee if they don't intend to be on time.

Bao where great but a very small portion. The sharing plates where all instantly forgettable unfortunately. All food arrived cold or cool at best. Previously visited at Spark and thought it was far better (Bao and Ramen on a few occasions). Total bill felt overpriced for the amount of food served. Disappointed overall.

Shocking experience - don't go. The open kitchen was a shocking mess, staff were miserable. Only one waiter serving about 12 tables, so massively slow. I ordered a green tea and had to remind the waiter after 15 minutes. Loads of options were off the menu and the same sad four plates of old sushi went around the conveyor belt for the hour plus that we were in there. I heard another customer ordering a beer, to be told they had run out that day - but previous reviews have reported no beer in stock so this is obviously a lie. I don't blame the staff - but the management obviously take York as a tourist town for granted and don't keep the place clean, properly staffed, or stocked. Absolutely diabolical.
