What a bad experience in this restaurant. Service all looked like they were on their first day. Bad sushi rolls, premade and cut for customers. Sushi tasted old and manufactured and ramen was just meh. Should be zero stars. read more

Honestly, I came here for the conveyor belt-style hype. We did not have to wait long to be seated. The plates were color-coded, and corresponded to different prices on the menu. The process was pretty self-explanatory. The katsu dish was good, while the sushi was mediocre and the portions were small. The experience was fun, but I wouldn't go back for the food. read more

Honestly, this was my first time to eat at this establishment, and probably my last. You get to see the chefs in the middle doing their thing. Everything was going ok until we saw the larger blonde chef using no gloves and putting her hands all over everything on the counters. Including the sushi. It was disgusting. We didn't like watching our sushi get prepared by a no glove wearing "professional". It made us want to leave to be honest. Not a fan. Sushi wasn't awesome either. read more

We were actually on holiday in England and Cambridge was one of our stops. While doing some shopping at the Grand Arcade we stumbled upon this place. It looked pretty cool and inviting from the outside so we had to try it out. It's got that hip diner appeal and has the conveyer belt with little plates of sushi going round and round like a toy train. You grab whatever catches your fancy and then pay for the item according to the color of the little plate that it comes on. They also have an extensive menu with hot items like katsu, soup, and noodles. What I particularly liked, because it was novel, was the water faucet at the table. You could choose regular tap or carbonated. They even had a table buzzer that you could push to summon your waiter. The sushi wasn't bad and I also ordered the softshell crab from the menu. We had a nice experience here and would definitely come back. read more

Yo! Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Cambridge, CAM

When visiting Cambridge, we expected to be taken to some dark local pub for pub food and beer. Alas, our UK friends have eyed us closely and took note of our love for sushi. As the lovely birthday girl also had sushi on her list of fav foods, we met at Yo! Sushi in Cambridge. This was my first conveyor belt type restaurant. (YAY!!!) The concept was new to me. I honestly felt a little bit greedy to grab plates from the belt as they passed by. The plates had happy fluorescent colors to signify their price and sort of food. The sushi's were of good quality but not the type that will send you through the roof. This restaurant, which appears to be a chain restaurant, as many sushi restaurants in the West seem to be - could be qualified as 'nice'. The food is good, not super savory and the place has a hip ambiance, which resembles the Japanese feeling. So if you'd wanna go for a nice time and some good sushi, Yo! Sushi will not disappoint. If you look for amazing sushi, look a little further! read more

Yo! Sushi - The hippest sushi bar I've been in so far.. - Japanese Near Me - Cambridge, CAM

After 6 months of no sushi apart from supermarket offerings (shudder), I see no reason why Yo Sushi shouldn't get 5 Stars. Yes it's quite pricey, but like everything else in life; you get what you pay for. Good quality, fresh, and varied sushi. The staff are lovely, and this particular establishment is one of their busier stores, so there's always plenty on the conveyer. If you're that hung up on the price, go on "Blue Mondays", where everything on offer is £2.50. Oh, and get the unlimited refill miso. read more

Don't ever go to this place. I got food poisoning from their food and I throw up so many times. If you want to buy sushi and get free food poisoning, it's the right place for you. read more

This place is extremely overpriced for the mass produced conveyor belt sushi that they sell. Had my worst ever seafood ramen there as well a one serving of nigiri and two pieces of a roll for £23. read more

This place is good and super amounts of fun! I like how you press the call button and the music changes and then the server comes to you. If the sushi item or habachi item that you want is not on the conveyor belt you can order it and it is delivered as soon as it is made. The different colored plates designates the price of the item. Prices range from £1.70 to £5.00. I personally really enjoyed their salmon sashimi style it comes with five slices of premium Scottish salmon. I also really enjoyed their seaweed salad, I had it made to order. I had two orders of their salmon sashimi and was nearly full. It ran about £3.90. I also ordered the spicy tuna hand roll and it was to die for! It came with tuna, spring onion and cucumber with spicy masago sauce, mayonnaise and masago. Followed by two pieces of masago sushi. Had no complaints. The sushi is fantastic here. My husband grabbed a mixed of hot items, he really enjoyed them. He also tried stealing some of my salmon sashimi that I was not impressed with sharing. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Yo Sushi offers an enjoyable dinning experience in the center of Cambridge. No, you won't find top-notch sushi passing by on their conveyor belt, however, what is offered is decent quality for decent prices. During my visit the place was packed with a short wait for seating. The staff was friendly and informative. And our special order dishes were promptly served up with smiles. It's a great place for a casual date or a solo meal due to limited seating options. I look forward to my next sushi fix while visiting Cambrige. read more

Debated between one and two stars. Some of the food is OK not all though. We were seated promptly at this "conveyor belt" sushi place. Our 3 year old was very excited to try it mostly because of the conveyor belt. Then our server disappeared, nothing was explained to us. We saw some water taps at the table and glasses so we helped ourselves to water. We read the menu and tried to match the pictures to what was on the belt. We quickly realized that the selection on the belt was Very limited. Our server didn't come back. After we picked a few mediocre items I looked around and saw others eating bigger meals. I turned the paper around and realized that there's another side! A made to order food side ah! I finally saw one of the servers and asked for a miso soup which came from a machine?! Like a dispensing matching. It didn't taste like much. Either way we had already had enough food and decided to leave. We were given the Bill. They were about to charge us for 3 waters because well apparently they charge for water because it's filtered! It was quickly waved as the person realizes that it was never explained to us. I did complain that nothing was explained to us and that we were Confused through the whole experience. No plans to return! Oh and their California rolls included "mayo" as one of their ingredients (??) read more

Avoid! Do not let it spoil your mood! Had an awful experience on 05.12.14. Before that I had visited it 2 times and had decent sushi with good service, but slightly overpriced. Last Friday (around 14.00) I was served by arrogant looking waiter who looked and behaved like he was the superstar not the waiter. I ordered 1 prawn yakisoba. After waiting 30 minutes(being intentionally skipped while everyone else whom he served was asked a usual "are you ok?" question), I asked him where is my order. With the usual arrogant manner he told me that the order might have been lost because they are using wifi system and sometimes it just doesn't work(!). I asked for the bill(because I a couple of "moving sushi plates"), and left. My recommendation is to visit any other sushi place, where the orders are not being lost and you are services in a normal way. Moreover the food got really worse over the past month. Please do not ruin your lunch/dinner with that fake "Japanese" restaurant with terrible service and mediocre overpriced. read more

I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy, this is not sushi it's warped rice by non-professionals with a piece of fish and an overpriced conveyer belt selection. Please don't waste your money, your taste buds or your dignity on this place, go somewhere else!!! read more

Yo Sushi is normally okay. It will never get more than 3 or 4 stars from me, but it serves a purpose in the same way Pret or Nero might. I have visited tonnes of Yo Sushi outlets up and down the country, from Selfridges London to Scotland. Not this one though! TERRIBLE! This new Yo Sushi in Cambridge looks impressive from the outside; interesting layout, bright colours, and large full-length windows. It looks totally space-age. But we went in there today, waited for what seemed like AGES at the sign saying "Wait here to be seated", and when someone finally came along they served the people who were AFTER us in the queue first. The reason they did this was: a) there is no actual room for a queue because the sign is right by the front door b) they thought we were waiting in a second, larger queue with about 8 people in it. Turns out this larger queue was actually for customers waiting to pay - this wasn't immediately obvious at first. I can't believe the queue for paying was so long! People were waiting for ages to pay. During our frustrating wait, a guy who looked like one of the chefs tried to get past us (really, no space to stand when waiting, despite being such a huge restaurant) and there was a bit of a double-take, and then he was really impatient and just pushed past anyway. How RUDE! Eventually when a guy came over, we were asked "how many is it for?" - there were just two of us - the man said "this way please" and pointed to a random space to his right (not a seat or table, most definitely he pointed towards an empty space near the window) before continuing to speak to a couple behind us in the queue. He left us there for such a long time wondering "is he actually going to tell us where to sit or are we supposed to work it out ourselves?", and I'm talking whole minutes here, that he didn't even notice our walking back past him, and right out of the restaurant in disgust. Seriously, I have never been so incensed within the first 5 minutes in a restaurant in my life. It's enough to make me never want to set foot in one of these horrible overblown places again. Disgusting. Conveyor-belt by name, Conveyor-belt by nature. AVOID. read more

After a great experience in Yo Sushi in Leicester we tried this last Saturday. What a poor relation this store is! We waited 50 minutes for a table - this meant my son and I had to leave before eating much, although the other 2 stayed. Ordered food was slow to be delivered and the pre-prepared food just seemed to go round and round without anyone taking it. The management need to sort out a queuing system that works and explain to customers how long they expect to keep them waiting. We are not planning to visit this branch again. read more

YO! Sushi can either be average or great...this one was the latter. I visited on blue plate Monday's and the conveyor belt was constantly full, in comparison to some YO's where you get the same dishes for an hour going round and round. Very attentive staff and speedy service. No complaints! read more

We went in today and were hosted by Andrew who was so lovely and welcoming and so helpful with the new COVID venue rules! The food was amazing as always, especially the vegan katsu curry! Thank you :) read more

Eaten here since it opened years ago. Brilliant, friendly staff, great food. Always fun ! Highly recommend, especially with kids. Great vegetarian options too. read more

Conveniently located and the dish pricing is always a good trick, but the sushi itself wasn't anything great. Monday nights are discount nights and if you're military and show id you get a discount anytime. read more

Don't understand these poor reviews. Maybe these freakin Brits are use to bland food. I'm from California USA and we know good sushi. So believe me when I say the food was great and the seafood ramen was amazing. Workers also created a fun atmosphere. Cheers mates read more

I went here because my ten year old brother speaks so highly of this place and describes it as his favorite sushi place in England. I quickly learned that this is due to the fact that this is the only sushi place he has been to and because he only gets 4 plates of the Tamago nigiri and edamame. Cambridge is really lacking in sushi places. I was craving sushi during the 3 weeks I was in town, but unfortunately the lackluster sushi at Yo did nothing to quell my craving. The interior of the restaurant is modern, colorful, and fun. My brother is obsessed with the conveyor belt aspect of it. Where it is lacking severely is the quality, creativeness, and overall taste of the rolls. In addition, the prices are unreasonable for what you get. If it was half good I wouldn't mind the price, but the sushi here is just simply not good. My brother was right about the Tamago and edamame being "good", but it's hard to mess those up. The only other good thing about Yo was the look and design of their high chairs. Very modern! read more

The worst sushi I've ever had. Can't understand where there's so often a line. The combinations in the rolls were disgusting, the place was dirty, and way too expensive for what I received. Couldn't finish any roll I took off the belt. I would much rather eat grocery store sushi over this. Skip it! read more

Should be called Yo Salmon! Good for sushi beginners not aficionados (there are no excellent sushi joints in Cambridge.)

Went here today with my family and it was our first visit. The meals came around on a conveyor and many were similar. There was a menu but it was not explained to us. We just waited as similar rolls and salads went by. We eventually found out if we turn over the menu there were further choices but after we were seated no one really came to see us and make sure we were okay. The food was okay but the service put a damper on things. To top it off...they charge for water! They say it is because it is filtered but the idea for charging for tap water is ridiculous. The taps at the table have a small sticker that states "still" or "frizzy". You need to look really closely to notice there is a price as well. At least the server/manager was willing to remove it from the bill because we were not aware this was even charged for. Probably not going back for these reasons. read more

One of the worst things a business can do is lying to its clients. This place used to sell a small box of sushi edges, which before used to go to waste. They charged £1.50 for this product. Some time after, the price went up to £2.00. I went there recently to find out that they are now advertising the SAME product as NEW, and now charging £2.50. That's a nasty move and I'm not going there again read more

OVERPRICED. The food doesn't taste good or fresh, and the service was pretty slow... Definitely not authentic sushi.

Great tasting food on an endless conveyor belt, a button to call over your waiter, funky music, Sumo bowls! What more do you want from a restaurant! I love this place and come here often. If you want a fun meal, this is where to go. I'm not a massive fan of the Sushi dishes themselves but there are plenty of chicken / duck / vegetarian and rice dishes to fulfil anyones needs. Yo! Sushi read more

This was the first "conveyor style" sushi place I have ever been to. Even during my travels in Asia I missed out on several opportunities to eat at one. So this unfortunately was my first experience. I have eaten here twice and each time I ended up having the same experience. The food is not great quality but it's fast and some dishes are better than others. Also since they charge by plate you really have to strategically pick your options wisely. They have around 6 different color plates and each one indicates a different price. In general it is really difficult to eat a decent sized meal for under £15 per person at this place. I would honestly recommend not eating the sushi here due to the ridiculous pricing. The sushi is not good quality and it resembles basically a more expensive version of what Wasabi just around the road offers. Picture the price of a full box lunch of sushi from Wasabi (around 4-5 quid) for 2-3 small pieces at this place. That's what you get in terms of sushi. As far as the other dishes go it's hit or miss. Their Katsu curry options are pretty good. I also enjoyed the beef curry noodle bowl they have. From the conveyor I would also recommend the panfried dumplings, seaweed salad, and vegetable yakisoba which are all inexpensive options. read more

This is the first Yo Sushi I have visited and I came away from the experience with mixed reactions. The food was good and there is plenty of choice. The dishes that I wanted to eat, however, never appeared on the conveyor belt so I had to repeatedly summon a member of staff to order them and have them brought directly to the table. Which I thought kind of defeated the whole purpose of having little multi-coloured dishes fly past in an exciting way, ready for customers to grab. By the time my food arrived, my co-diners had already stacked up a decent looking pile of plates. The service was attentive and the meal fun and social since we all tried each other's dishes. However, I was put off by the queue of people waiting to be seated who, having no designated seating area, leaned against the glass walls snaking round the restaurant. This resulted in three people standing directly next to our table, watching us eat. I don't really want that kind of close up audience when I am attempting to eat noodles with flimsy wooden chopsticks for the first time! I recommend going there during a quieter period. read more

Okay, let me level with y'all. This place should be called No! Sushi. As in, if you feel tempted to have sushi here, stop, say "No!" to yourself, and look elsewhere (ideally outside of Cambridge, if you are hoping for decent sushi.) This joint offers overpriced, mediocre, not-fresh, conveyor belt sushi. It's edible food, but it's not a great sushi experience. Service was decent enough, partly because they did not have a lot to do given the sushi conveyor belt: they just had to bring drinks and a few cooked-food options and tally your bill at the end based on what you pulled off the belt. I seem to remember this place being open later than a lot of other restaurants, but I wouldn't swear to it. read more

I usually love Yo but be warned this one is awful. Maybe they are still getting organised but service is slow and inefficient and the pre-prepared stuff lacking in variety. Kitchen area is a mess and continual shouts for the staff to wash their hands somewhat off-putting. If you are prepared to walk a bit there are two or three independents which are miles better and cheaper. read more

I visited Yo Sushi last night with my partner as I had been once previously and had a nice experience. When we arrived there was only about 10 other customers which I assumed meant fast service, however I was wrong. After being sat down at the conveyor belt by a lovely waitress who explained the menu and how to use the "help" button we ordered some noodles with her and we had the dishes within 5 minutes! As a few more customers started to arrive I noticed that whilst our original waitress was running around seating people and taking orders, a manager and another employee (who had a face like a slapped bum) were stood towards the back of the restaurant chatting away. After finishing our noodles we wanted to order some hand rolls that weren't on the belt, we pressed our help button and were left sitting for 10 minutes for someone to help, as the manager and employee seemed too busy gossiping than serving us and the couple next to us (who had also asked for help). When the manager finally decided to do his job he was rude and distracted whilst taking our order. We were then left sitting for a further 20 minutes waiting for our food until we decided to query the wait time, after the manager walked past us 3 times and ignored us, our original waitress noticed we were trying to get someone's attention from and sorted out the problem. I wasn't annoyed as the sushi chef was very apologetic and explained that she hadn't had the order come through, she then made our order straight away (which tasted amazing). After finishing we asked for the bill from "face like a slapped bum" who rolled her eyes and seemed annoyed that we had bothered her from polishing glasses (which she had been doing for the last 45 minutes) Overall it could have been a lovely experience however the manager on shift, and slapped bum face really let it down with pretty terrible customer service. Nevertheless I may give it another go in the future as all the other staff were very bubbly and happy to help! read more
