***1,000th Yelp Review*** Conveyor belt sushi is not considered the best quality sushi, but Yazu Sushi does a great job at a reasonable price. In a small space in Shepherds Market Yazu Sushi delivers a good selection of quality sushi and sashimi. If you are in the area, Yazu Sushi should be on your list! read more

See all

Food was okay tasting. Price was expensive. They are on a plate-color system of varying prices. Not once did I see their "cheapest" plate on the conveyor. Service was good though; I mean, they bring your drinks & it's self-service. read more

Do you fancy eating phenomenal sushi in a restaurant that looks like someone's kitchen with a conveyor belt installed? If so, get yourself to Yazu Sushi. Tucked away in Mayfair, this place was amazing, taking the personal 'best sushi ever' top spot for me. The food... oh my word the food. I don't have enough words to explain how good this was. Highlights included salmon sashimi and tempura shrimp, but genuinely everything was delicious, no weak links. Pickled vegetables were particularly good too, though I am a pickle fiend. I also tried sake for the first time - not what I was expecting at all! The prices are alarmingly reasonable, with the most expensive dishes coming in at £4. As well as sushi and other dishes off the belt, you can order specials from the menu or just tell the chef what you would like. We were talked into getting some scallop sashimi which was incredibly fresh and delicious. Top tip: with a Taste Card you can get 50% off. With this deal, the bill for three people gorging themselves with a beer each came to £52. Without that discount I feel that this would still be okay - and of course you always have the option to *not* grab a gazillion dishes off the belt. Staff were unbelievably nice and welcoming, making sure we had a great experience as well as being genuinely friendly. Overall I love love love this place. If I lived in London I think I would be a regular. read more

Asians: this is not sushi for you! Whites: this is what you'd consider easy sushi Ugh. I knew it was not going to be good going in. This is typical white people's sushi. Everything is cooked or it's slightly cooked. I would have been ok to not say anything bad about it, but we paid way more than we expected. The portions are half size. Nothing is fresh. Anything raw is masked by spicy sauce or mayo. Asian chefs should stop pandering to white customers who wouldn't eat sushi to begin with. By doing so, you are discouraging real sushi eaters. Your loss I guess. Good luck making burgers, pizza, and Chow mein in the future. read more

My hubby and I were here for lunch during our recent visit to London, and it was delicious!!! We stayed at a hotel somewhat close to this tiny, charming spot, and with nowhere particular in mind, we wandered the streets looking for something tasty to eat. It was a week day lunch hour so this place was packed with business men and women suited up, talking business and gossip. We were definitely the most casual dressed people at the tiny place! haha The conveyor belt concept is just so fun! I've always wanted to go to one of these restaurants but hadn't until Yazu. Everything looked amazing! I'll say that every dish, except the edamame, was on a £4 plate, so the price ads up quickly when you've got an appetite. Everything we tasted from the conveyor belt was delish! It's so easy to get impulsive and just grab another one! YOLO! hahaha We also noticed that most people in there ordered a hand roll directly from the server/cashier (made right then by the chef) so we decided to try one of those too, and it was great! Overall, a very delicious lunch in a very cute neighborhood! Just be sure to be ready for the price! read more

I went here to use my Living Social deal and to be honest, I left disappointed. The staff was nice and the place was cozy, however the portion sizes of the dishes were small. We came around 8pm and they stopped making new dishes at 8:30pm which made us feel cheated with our voucher. The sushi was okay but I don't think I'll come back here. read more

This place is very welcoming . The chef is very nice and the sushi is great!! A bit tiny , but great for a small group or to grab a quick bite. The sushi is fresh and I would definitely recommend this place! Would come again;) read more

I almost don't want to review this place because I'm afraid of it catching on. The "restaurant" is so tiny I'm not even sure it can be called that, and the interior is somewhat sterile looking. But my goodness -- it is DELICIOUS! It's one of the few privileged places that has made my guess-I'm-staying-at-work-late-again-today dinner rotation. Why only 4 stars, then? Two things. They once forgot my miso soup (no big deal), but when I asked for it, they poured some powder in a cup and added hot water. The end result tasted very much like it had just come from powder. Two, the prices are steep in my opinion for the teensy (albeit adorable) portions. I don't have that big of an appetite (at least not by American standards), but dinner usually runs me close to 20 pounds. If it weren't for my overtime dinner allowance, I doubt I'd come very often. read more

After a recent mediocre experience with Tastecard, I am so glad that I gave it another try because this place is AMAZING. This place feels like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that is tucked away in a small alley in Mayfair. It only seats about 12 people, with about 6 on each side of a conveyor belt that runs down the middle of the room. We were a group of 3 and sat on the end so we could talk around the corner, but almost everyone else that came was a group of 2, or even solo. The Tastecard deal gave us 50% off, so we were confident that even though it was sushi, it would not be an expensive night. The concept is simple and straightforward - once you sit down, you can start taking plates off the belt right away. I don't even think there is a menu, except for the list of specials on a blackboard on the wall. My friend did manage to order some hand rolls that she wanted, so it seems like they can accommodate requests. The plates are color coded to correspond with a price, with the most expensive being £4. Somehow all but one of my plates were black, the one that was £4, but my friends had a number of brown plates (£3.80). I just don't remember seeing any of the cheap blues or greens. Each plate only has 2 pieces of sushi, which is ok when it is 50% off but probably rather expensive otherwise. But they were all high quality ingredients - with avocado, tempura prawn, fish roe, spicy tuna, etc. At least it wasn't cucumber rolls for that price. When it was all said and done, we each had about 10 plates stacked up, and with a beer as well, it only came out to a little more than 20 pounds. I think that's great value for sushi, great value for Mayfair, and I would definitely consider getting a Tastecard just to come here because it pays for itself (that's based off of the Tastecard prices I've been seeing of around £30). This place would also be perfect if you want a quick bite, since you don't have to wait for the food to be prepared. And because it only took us less than 45 minutes to finish off all that, it was still early in the night so we went for a beer at one of the many pubs around the corner. Ace. read more

Our party of 2 adults and 2 children were turned away on a quiet Monday evening. There were 4 people in the venue and many empty seats. The staff were rude and arrogant and we didnt even get to taste the food. A very nasty and upsetting experience for us and our children who were reduced to tears. We went to Yo Sushi instead and had a thoroughly excellent evening. So much for supporting the smaller businesses read more

Love, love, loved this place. Everything was fresh and chef really enjoyed putting out new things out for us. We don't have conveyor type restaurants here so this was quite a treat. We got to pick small samplings and pay by the plate, this allowed us to try new things and not be on the hook for a large plate. There are about 13 chairs in the place so a cozy intimate atmosphere. The tea was amazing. read more

Hole-in-the-wall store, with about a dozen seats around what much be the shortest conveyor belt in London. Sashimi, sushi and roll portions are small, but they are made properly on the spot (not plucked from a cooler, as in most chain stores). Most important, they are very tasty: the rice has the correct grain, and the fish above was very good - with the exception of the tuna, which was excellent. The typical salmon and avocado maki rolls were similarly excellent, but the unagi sushi a touch too "roasted". read more

My neighborhood sushi bar. The fish is fresh, the service is friendly and it is a couple of blocks from home. Good value, too.

Best sushi bar in London, no question. Would strongly recommend for a quick lunch or a dinner with friends.

The place is sized for 6 people max, running sushi is ok, but there are very few choices - what's the point of colored plates if it is always the expensive one that is there? Looks like owner don't really care. Avoid the place by all means. read more

Better than Itsu sushi - with only tastecard though. It is very small and the chef just makes 5-6 types of sushi that keeps rotating on the band for like..forever. Then the same chef stares at you a little, then the mini sushi plates, then back at you again..While some Japanese pop is being played on the background. We ended up having 10 plates, 2 special hand roll, 2 glasses of plum wine with a bill of £32. Will I be back? Maybe, as long as they keep the tastecard deal going. read more

got a groupon voucher given to us as a gift was a little worried after reading some of the reviews online, but there was no need to be worried, this place is amazing. Yes its small but i liked this as i thought it felt a lot more of a personal experience. My partner loved all the food, said the fish was fresh and tasty, especially liked the spicy tuna and crab rolls, which he had 4 plates of! i'm vegetarian, but told our waiter this and the chef asked what sort of thing i like, like tofu, avocado etc and made me up some dishes in no time. We didn't even go over our £40 voucher price, and we got a lot and 4 drinks, so great value too. Could not find fault, good place, good food and friendly staff :) read more

I bought a LivingSocial voucher for this place and was sorely disappointed. The deal was for 14 black plate dishes (the most expensive) and the website made it seem as if they had an extensive menu. When we arrived, the woman said that we could just take anything off the conveyor belt and that we couldn't order specially. First of all - tiny portions. Second of all, more than half of the sushi on the belt did not have real fish, including a strange sundried tomato-mozarella-avocado roll. Their specialty roll of tuna and surimi was just flat out strange. Third, it's not really a restaurant. More like a tiny room with a conveyor belt - no tables. I felt like I did not get my money's worth. I think it would be fine for takeout or a quick lunch, but no more than that. read more

Had booked using a KGBdeals voucher and received a confirmation email, but when I turned up, the place was closed! At 7pm on a Saturday, even though they obviously had my reservation! What is wrong with this place?? read more

Diabolical, rude, unhelpful, uncooperative.... Booked under a Living Social deal , but had to re-book due to illness. Was assured a number of times when confirming that the Living Social voucher would still be valid and that there wasn't a problem with this new booking. Booked for a lunch on Saturday, but according to website not even open before 4pm, so phoned again to confirm and asked again about the voucher, was still assured everything was fine. Traveled all the way from Kent to the restaurant which still wasn't open at 12.30 for a 1pm booking, finally someone turned up at 12.45 we were told to come back in 20minutes. Went back and was then told that our voucher which we had paid for wasn't valid regardless of the number of phone conversations and confirmations we've had previously. Total disaster and very unhelpful. No compensation or anything offered. I would warn anyone to stay well away from this place! read more
