If you can get a deal or use your NHS blue light card for extra discount then this is a great place to dine in.Good quality, freshly made food here. It's always been fun grabbing the plates off the conveyor plate as well. Lots of options of hot food available as well.I reviewed it 6 years ago but lost a star here because the main chef's attire was a bit dirty (with filthy boxer shorts hanging out on display ) and also with no cash payments accepted.( 2016 review-Love this place.If heaven has a Yo Sushi then Lord take me NOW. )

Food was incredible and service was exceptional. Despite the manager having to serve the whole restaurant on her own, the restaurant was a full, with tables being filled as soon as they were empty, Annabel did a fantastic job and made our experience a very pleasant one. Well done Annabel and thank you again!

I visited today for lunch time. Only 2 chef and 2 Waitress. Food very slow. Service very bad. Waitress seem doesn't want to work. She doesn't care about customer, no service mind. Chef call food many time and she doesn't care. Not come to serve the food. Chef has to do by herself. Sushi is good but hot food taste horrible. I ordered Korean chicken wings, its very salty and chicken ball no taste of chicken. Im not come back anymore. Poor service and food and too expensive.

Yummy lunch here today.We used the QR code to order straight to the table which was fast and easy.Service was good but the food was even better.Whilst it’s definitely not Japanese fine dining- for fast and reasonably priced tasty food, it’s a winner!Highly recommend the JFC special and the takoyaki.Thank you Yo Guildford and Happy New Year!

If you want to waste your money and to have your mood ruined, this is the perfect place for you.The staff has zero clue on how to deal with customers. Are they even trained and checked by someone? The chef gets orders mixed up and then gets bothered when pointed out.Do yourselves a favour and find another place rather than wasting your money here.

I wish I could give them zero stars. Where should I start from? The food was uneatable or wrong, and the service was poor start to end. My husband and I ordered mega gyoza teriyaki and they arrived with spicy stuff on top. We told the waitress that’s not what we ordered (plus, I informed I can’t eat anything spicy when we’ve been asked for food allergies), so she brought us the right one but the whole presentation and toppings were missing. No spring onion or other toppings you would normally find. Then we ordered the California gunkan. Again, no toppings and no teriyaki sauce, so I asked for them once again, and we got a big splash of teriyaki sauce on top and that’s it. The crunch prawn roll had some salt on top of it for some reason, which ruined the whole taste of it. Then we had the mixed maki, the avocado was brown and the salmon had a horrible taste, the rice was rock hard and the whole thing was room temperature. Also, the sushi was contaminated by an ingredient of another roll (the violet herb). I had to leave the food in the plate as I didn’t want to risk a food poisoning. Is this how your branch trains the cooks to treat raw fish? I really hope I won’t feel sick later on. I swear, I can tell a wrong thing on each and every item we ordered tonight, even when we ordered a bottle of water we received one glass only and we had to ask for a second one! Not to mention that every time we sent a plate back to be fixed, every member of the staff that dealt with us looked bothered. However, when a group of young lads came in after us, they have been warmly welcomed.At the check out, we mentioned the issue with the mixed maki, highlighting the health issues that spoiled raw fish can cause, and we just got back a “yeah, sorry about that, would you like a refund on that?”. I mean, seriously? She couldn’t care less, not a “I’m going to check with the kitchen” or “I’m going to inform the cooks” or “what can I do to fix this”. At first I didn’t want for those 3£ back but you know what? We spent more than 40£ for terrible, old and spoiled food and an awful experience, so yes, I asked for those 3£ back in the end. I don’t remember last time I went back home hungry after being in a restaurant, but seriously, couldn’t trust that food anymore.P.S. the music was extremely loud and the whole atmosphere looked like children who have been left alone without the parents’ supervision. Ah, and for the whole bloody evening, no one ever came to us asking if everything was okay, while they did with other tables. I get that they knew that everything was wrong, but they could have tried to put some effort at least.

The Sushi was delicious, there was a super large variety and the overall concept for choosing your plates on the conveyor belt is so fun!!! The Staff was lovely and Ciara was super helpful!

I’ve been a customer for more than a decade but sadly, I will probably have to find a new restaurant. The food is simply horrible. It looks like my first attempts at making sushi in my kitchen. The salmon is warm and unpleasant to eat, the rolls are small and misshapen. The salmon in the rolls looks like it’s come out of a tin. I hope we do not regret having eaten this food once again tomorrow. My beloved Yo Sushi is no more. This chain will not last long unless they get their act together.

Love a bit of Yo! Sushi and my partner and i went here for a date. it's been awhile since we've been and we were surprised to see there was basically nothing on the conveyor belt. We had to order everything on the app and that kept going wrong for us. There was only one waitress in the entire restaurant. For these reasons we did struggle to get our orders.On the plus side the food was very good and although the poor waitress was absolutely rushed off her feet she was very friendly and helpful. This was on a Monday night as well by the way and the place was still quite busy.I used to love getting stuff off of the conveyor conveyor belt and ordering stuff by pressing the button on your table which would light up a lamp to bring over a waiter/waitress. That's all gone now which I think is a shame as I felt like that was the USP for Yo! Sushi in the UK.I would probably stillcautiously recommend this place as the food is still really good. However I would only go in if they're well staffed and be prepared to download the app to order. Just be aware signal is patchy on some networks so it can be awkward to order.
