Great service, food was brought to us promptly and fresh. Staff very accommodating. Please consider more chicken sushi roll selections for people who don’t enjoy fish.

My boyfriend and I came here last week for the first time and loved it! I much prefer it to the Bullring store - it was quite quiet at the time we were there (around midday on Wednesday), which was particularly surprising as it was around lunchtime and during their 2-for-1 deal for National Curry Week.The staff were great - we were served by the lovely Jack, he was really accommodating and personable when serving us. He found us a great seat overlooking the station, and was speedy with serving as well.As for the food, we both had the chicken katsu - if you haven't tried it, it is SO much better than the Wagamama's katsu curry. The chicken was super tender and the breading was crispy, the curry sauce was really flavourful, and the rice was perfectly cooked. It was well worth the deal price (2 large meals for £12.95), but would have been worth full price as well in my opinion. Can't fault the place. Definitely visit if you haven't already!

Edited 2023. All is now good. Conveyors belts are back. You know what. I used to love Yo. It was fun, quirky with the food flying round on the conveyor belts. There was a good vibe about it. It made going there fun and exciting, it was also something different for my kids. Before I launch into some mental rambling of an old man I have this to say. The staff are always polite, friendly and professional. The food is tasty and fresh. I love it there. Will I go back now though. Probably not and it’s for these reasons.Absolutely stupid ordering system.No human contact after the initial hello sir how are you today.If I want to go to vending machine for hot food I’ll jump on a plane and zip off to Japan for the experience.It is an absolutely horrible experience going there now. Scan a QR code. Scroll through endless dishes that may or may not be available on the day. This makes McDonalds look like a 5 star dining experience. You are under selling your products and more importantly your staff. I understand during covid you had to do this. Though now there is no need for this sort of automation. It’s utterly soulless dining. You even have the cheek to ask for a tip / service charge on the menu. I may be an old man but I actually like speaking to a waiter/tress person and when they give good service. It’s a pleasure to tip them. If I could give 5 stars to your staff I would , the same with the food. Your style of delivery for ordering is the worse ever. I may have well ordered an Uber eats / just eats or whatever else there is out there. Go for yourself. Make sure you have a decent smartphone, a damn good connection and prepare to wade through the nonsensical menu system. Shame on you Yo. Rating is purely for the ordering system. Food and staff spot on.

Overall the food is very good. It's always fresh and tasty but the portion sizes are small and quite expensive. It's very nice for a special occasion or a light lunch.The restaurant is clean and tidy and the food is easy to order via the QR code.It's well worth a visit if you like Japanese Food but be prepared to be hungry an hour after you eatAlso...There is a service charge added to your bill as standard. Although i believe in tipping when service is good i don't think it should be expected.

Great place for some sushi with friends/family.I had the opportunity to attend their Sushi School and left knowing how to make sashimi, nagiri, california rolls, and temaki rolls.Our instructor was absolutely fantastic; cheery guy with a great attitude and outlook.I'd absolutely attend again.

Overall, the curry and the chicken were okay. But it was nothing to shout about. In my opinion i think that this place is overpriced for the quality of food you would get.

Did not like! The rolls were cold, as if they came from the refrigerator, they were falling apart, which indicates poor quality and not tasty.portions are very smallThe menu has very beautiful photos, but when the dishes arrive you are disappointed, you see a discrepancy.We didn't get full, we just lost time and £60 for two.The price is not true.I don't recommend it!I regret that I didn’t take a photo of the broken rolls, we were so disappointed.
