Always very busy, quick service, attentive staff. Order via the app. Not much booth seating but lots of seating alongside the sushi belt. Prepare to queue for the Yo! In Trafford center , for at least 10 minutesCan be a bit cramped sitting alongside the belt, so if possible ask to sit in a booth.Vegetarian options: The vegan dishes have a little toothpicks flag stuck on the bowls that are on the belt, I think the vegan plates are green and there's a lot of plant optionsDietary restrictions: On arrival staff ask if you have dietary requirements

Food was ok, however staff who was making food was also delivering it and from hygienic point of view that's not too good as they would wear the gloves when they were making food then would touch all the things around them (fridges, chairs etc.) while still wearing those gloves. And there was that disturbing smell of dump and dirty cloth where we were sitting. I'm not quite sure where this was coming from but it was bad.

It's been a while since I visited a Yo! SUSHI ?????...I have to say i enjoyed every bit of it today. It made a nice change after several days of meat and cheese over the Christmas period..From the freshly prepared sashimi to their grilled teriyaki kebabs, there was simply too much to choose from. Loved the spicey tuna egg rolls ? had a firefly kick!!..Can honneslty say was completely stuffed by the time I left!!.. over all had about 12 dishes ( diffent colour plates ) plus a couple of drinks, and the price wasn't too bad at the end. £60.59. Felt it was about right for the amount food we had eaten!!Plus, they also accept Blue light cards, so got a cheeky 20% off the overall bill.. score saved about £13 .. ?Deffenlty will be returning soon to get our sushi ? fix again!!

Not worth going at all. Had 3 main dishes and 3 from the conveyor belt. That cost 45 pounds with 11 percent discount! Food was below average. Didn't like how the staff just took 10 plates off the belt and just chucked them in the bin. I understand they don't want to risk selling bad food but I could've literally decided to take one just before he threw it away. No care at all and it was sad to see.

Not a patch on the old yo sushi. Atmosphere not as good, belt selection poor. More importantly service is slow. Had to chase two dishes that did not show up.

Ordered two of the Korean fried chicken bowls- only asked for no chillies (we both can't handle spice very well) and one with no radishes. Both dishes came with chillies and radishes, were so hot we couldn't eat much and had to give it to our friend. We barely ate anything and had to get food later. The waiter had told us the changes would be possible and had spoken to the kitchen staff so we dont really know why the changes were then ignored?

Disinterested staff, ignored in the queue, average food. Awkward moment where chef leans over the sushi train to pass you your hot food rather than bringing it to your table. Not great.

Absolutely deserves a big ZERO. Shocking prices for the amount of food that you get. Can easily spend £40 on the conveyer belt in about 4 dishes which, for the portion size, is ridiculous! Asked the server how I can differentiate between halal and non halal food, well she basically didn't know the dishes herself as she proceeded to pick up examples off the conveyer to explain how to identify things off the paper menu and then she would say 'o erm actually I don't know what this is too'. Not exaclty giving me the confidence boost here. A clear systematic coloured plate system would work much better so customers can easily identify their requirements. Anyway, we did try it as we had 3 very excited girls with us who wanted to try the sushi experience etc. We ordered some noodles which for £9 odd was a ridiculous portion, absolutely disgusting, literally seved on a teacup seving plate essentially. We did however get the bento boxes for free as it was during these school holidays but I seriously would have been super displeased had they charged me for what was served in the bento box (I can tell you it is not as advertised in their fancy advertisements). Anyway, can not really complain about that because it was for free so grateful for what we got as we could have easily spent over £150 to feed us all properly (2 adults, 3 kids). One thing to mention is kids across us where switching the vegan cocktail sticks over to other plates on the conveyer belt, potentially causing a dangerous situation for someone. We did tell the staff however they did nothing. Overall, I would absolutely never visit a Yo shushi restaurant again.Vegetarian options: Go elsewhere. Trust me.Dietary restrictions: If you have any dietary requirements don't bother coming here as there is no safe system being operated here. There is no guarantee that you are not tucking into a nice chicken when you are just wanting halal/fish options.

Wow - what a difference - tiny / skinny portions of sashimi and squid - something has changed massively for the worse here - we aren?t even trusted to serve ourselves water / wasabi and ginger!! A very poor cousin of what Yo Sushi used to be - avoid ?

The food was mediocre but the service was horrible. Took 20 mins and us asking 2 different employees for our drinks we ordered via the app. All the staff seem miserable.

By far the worst sushi experience I have EVER had.1) the simplest of all miso soups taste bland and watery2) there 13.50 pound seafood ramen is made with egg noodles and not ramen. THIS IS A SIN!!!3) sushi and sashimi portions purposely cut too thin and tiny, i have never seen such cheapskate cost saving methods4) all seafood served here are not fresh, I wouldn't be surprised If I get food poisoning from this.EDIT: my wife did get food poisoning from this.5) everything is overpriced for what you get.6) sushi appears on the belt as broken most of the time.Never will I come here again. Save your money and go to wazasushi or shoryu, much nicer sushi and professionalism and respect towards Japanese cuisine.EDIT: reached out to yo sushi as per there response. Don't bother, they aren't helpful. Just the typical carried out investigation and nothing found.After many tests and nhs/private appointments, results show there was inflammation in several areas that arose from bacterial infection. The timelines matched up but difficult to prove as a result, and from yo sushi's response, you'll need something concrete for them to accept responsibility.All in all, you can decide what you want to do with your life but I wouldn't risk my health going there again.

There?s always a long queue here so we?ve only ever got takeaway before which has been nice. It wasn?t that great - the quality is pretty average and the price really isn?t far off what you?d pay in Australasia in Manchester for a similar portion. Its a long time since I?ve been to a Yo but there?s a lot of stuff they used to offer that?s gone away - water taps at the counter, complimentary ginger and wasabi, it was all a bit underwhelming really.

My daughter is gluten intolerant but really wanted to try Yo! sushi. I wasn?t holding out much hope but she found things she could eat on the menu & we both really enjoyed it. We?ll definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Plenty of Vegetarian and Vegan options.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of Vegetarian and Vegan options. A small selection of gluten free options too.Parking: The Trafford centre has thousands of free parking spaces. The top floor is best for quick access to Yo!

I came with friends to the Sushi School and it was so good! We had a lovely chef show us how they cut the fish and step by step instructions for making 5 different types of sushi (2x hosomaki, uramaki, temaki and nigiri). It was loads of fun and we got to eat our sushi or take it home after and there was plenty of it. Free drinks too. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: I am pregnant and we're knowledgeable about what I couldn't eat and provided tasty alternatives

Well since we had an hour and a half to spare before my childs play session at play factore we thought we'd go to yo sushi the queue was massive it was boiling hot in there we contemplated leaving the queue several times but this was meant to be part of her birthday treat. We kept seeing several empty seats but they were not getting filled and the queue was not moving it was a form of torture really by the time we got to the front of the queue it was time for the 2 hour play session to start and i hoped we would finally get seated soon so we could make it to the play session before it finishes. But it was still another 15-20 mins before we were seated in chairs that look like theyve seen better days. Once there it was great. I mean it was slow service if you ordered food and drink and no one explained the system to me i had to ask if the '20' sticker on the dome on top of the dish means its 20 quid and they finally explained no the pricing is colour coded accorded to the dish and handed me a menu which i hadnt been given before. I have anxiety it makes me anxious to not know the prices of things until its time to pay and would have preferred to pay upfront but as this wasnt possible i had to use my calculator on my phone to monitor how much it all was and to tell my child to limit herself. Then they added a service charge to the end anyway. What service? They werent seating people in time or explaining the system definitely acted like i was bugging them by asking questions all the time- at the end i literally asked 3 different employees how im meant to pay and they walked right past me without acknowledging me like i never said anything and we ended up being late to the play session due to slow service but its not a low rating because the actual food was good and id recommend. I played it safe with prawn crackers miso soup and mochi and really enjoyed it. Really like the moving conveyors. If i had been seated quickly and explained the system and it wasnt so hot it probably would have been a 5 star review from me. Also wish they had drinks like ramune my child gets it from the yo section at tesco so i assumed theyd have them in the restaurant too but they dont?
