Do you want a cheap meal? An expensive meal? Light bite or full on bloating.. you decide. Yo sushi is great because you “choose your own adventure,” and you don’t have to share or get what other people in your group are eating. The sushi is good and they have a good mix of seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes.

Each dish comes around on a conveyor belt and you can pick and choose what you want. Each meal is also in a coloured bowl depicting the price for that item. Each bowl ranges from about 1 pound to 5 pounds. Obviously the cheaper priced bowls are less inspired and less filling and the more expensive ones have a lot more time put in to them.

When a yummy looking bowl comes by you are likely to grunt and point or say I want that one loudly so diners around you understand your intentions. If they misunderstand you and grab the bowl you wanted, you can then grab a cheaper bowl and throw its contents at them. No, actually you can’t do this but I have been tempted.

Luckily they usually put out plenty of the same bowl and they space them out. If you see something you wanted that was taken or there is something on the menu, you can order it up at no extra charge easily. If you order miso soup you get free refills of it, you pay for all other drinks which do not have free refills. You also have to pay for the SELF SERVE TAP WATER?! Weak.

Anyway, give your meal some time because you can fill up quickly and they always send something awesome around the belt after you are full. For 2 people with non alcoholic drinks, soup and a good mix of cheap and expensive bowls, you will spend 35-50 pounds.

I kinda like this place. Yeah the sushi is mediocre and the chefs are lary, but it has a certain charm to it. They’ve managed to combine the traditional Japanese sushi boat experience with the simplicity for us dumb westerners to be able to enjoy it. They’ve managed to successfully franchise the product and you get a very consistent product no matter where you go. The only thing that bugs me is the lack of rolls and sashimi. Lots of noodles, etc but it would be great to see more inspired rolls going around the conveyor belt.

This one in particular has a good location, inside the Fulham Broadway shopping center.

Yo Sushi (stores can be found nationwide) is a quick and clean sushi resturant. with the novelty of watching your food go round on a conveyor belt. it isn't expensive and and staff are friendly.

I do like Yo!Sushi; this one is well located outside the cinema in Fulham - so it's great before or after a movie for a quick informal (and relatively healthy) bite to eat. A bit formulaic now, it is probably in need of some injection of new ideas but kind of still works. (for those who dont know, it is a chain of Japanese 'fast food' self service on a conveyor belt)
