The staff was nice and friendly, but other than that it was unfortunately a disappointing experience.
- Food that was ordered took quite a while to arrive, so when it did my friend had already finished eating and we were left sitting around wondering whether to cancel the order or not.
- When the ?hot? food did eventually arrive, it was only warm-ish and not very good. The single large Bak Choi leaf wasn?t really cooked and you couldn?t taste the meat under the thick layer of overly sweet glaze.
- The worst part in my opinion was the fact that the student discount doesn?t work on certain days, and instead of advertising that clearly like other restaurants where they put the days in the heading, they hide this fact in the small print of the terms when you pull up the discount. Although I understand that I should have looked at the fine print, I do find it slightly disingenuous to not make it clear as others places have done. It did feel a bit like a trap for students to go in, have a meal only then to be told when they want to pay with the discount that it?s unavailable.
This experience has really put me off and I will not be returning.

Very disappointed with our experience. We popped in for a dessert and it took 45 mins to have it made. The taste was not as expected and there is an unpleasant smell of fried food in the restaurant. Will not come back.

Yo Sushi has always been decidedly average. Nice enough sushi and previously affordable. Absolutely shocked by the prices now for average sushi that seems to have got smaller and lower quality. Can see why the restaurant was empty on a Friday night. Won't be returning myself.

It is a shame to see how downhill this place has gone over the years. The california roll I used to order was always outstanding when they were sold as three or six large pieces. They used to be tasty and fresh. Now they are sold as four smaller pieces and they are never fresh, always chewy and much more expensive. The popcorn shrimp was also a decent portion size and very tasty. Now I got 9 pieces for the ridiculous amount of money they charge! Portion sizes have gotten much smaller, food quality is a lot worse but somehow the prices have sky rocketed. It is not a surprise that so many yo! Sushi restaurants have shut and are still shutting accross the country. People will eventually stop paying so much for such low quality. If things don't change I am confident this restaurant will soon join the long list of closures.

Haven't eaten at Yo! Sushi for a few years and wow, what a rapid decline of a one funky restaurant chain. Met by two miserable young girls, possibly students. Probably too woke to smile! Table was laid but ginger and wasabi both empty. Conveyor full but very generic salmon/tuna options. Looked at the menu and no soft shell crab anymore. Ordered crispy squid for 8.50 and got 6 peices! 6 for 8.50!
General detritus under the table which hadn't been cleaned in-between use. No more call buttons or water fountains at the table. Slow service and sub standard food overall.
Miserable experience. £103 with a £5 voucher used. I can get a fabulous sushi feast at an independent restaurant in Basingstoke for £25 less than that! Absolute rip off and a shameful decline of what used to be a funky huge street restaurant.
Such a shame.

Went today with friends as a goodbye lunch, late lol at around 3:30pm. All sad obviously, but this super nice waitress really made us laugh. Cheers to her for real.

Went here with a few friends, lovely waitress, she had blond braids, nose piercing, extremely friendly and very smiley. Would go back just because off her

I cannot speak highly enough of this experience.
We went to the bottomless belt for my birthday meal and there was such an incredible variety on the belt. It was all fresh and beautifully made. The chefs were working so hard and still cheerful and smiley and the front of house staff were so kind, attentive and friendly.
Even though we were there for a special offer nothing was too much trouble and they asked if they could get us additional items several times. Even though they had quite a few customers in they stopped to chat with us.
We aren't local and travelled for an hour to visit this restaurant specifically and I would do it again.
2 things are important to me in a good day, customer service and good food. Both of these were very much present. Thank you so much for making my day special.
Vegetarian options: Everyone was really kind in supporting us to identify vegetarian dishes and we were specifically approached to be offered vegetarian gyoza which was so thoughtful

Sadly, they've removed app ordering. This means you have to try and catch the attention of staff to try and order additional plates or drinks, which really detracts from the experience.
The £30 all you can eat offer is not good value for money either.
That said, good food, served quickly, clean restaurant and friendly staff.

Worst dining experience out of all the restaurants in Guildford. Miserable staff and half the menu wasn?t available. The food that was available was on par with supermarket box sushi. Avoid this place and spend your money at the many other places available.
