I did consider a 5-star review, I really enjoyed my eating experience here, and if it had been more enclosed with some background music and you forgot you were plonked in the middle of a shopping centre I might have bumped it up.
This was my first visit to a Yo Sushi, I always felt a bit put off my the conveyor belt idea. In the end we were able to order our food from the server like you would in most other places. I was there to host a vegan meetup and I'd gotten there first, and spent a few minutes checking the vegan options online and circling the vegan options on the paper menu/placemat. I figured this would make it easier for the other guests. I kept hearing some kind of electronic voice... I don't if it was to grab the attention of a staff member as it disappeared a bit later, and it's probably not the sort of place people sit alone to wait for people coming from afar! Also, my arm bumped into dishes as they passed by on the belt. Again, maybe not a usual place where six grown adults will eat together. :s
We chose there as instead of selected dishes being reduced to £2.70 only on a selected one (or is it two now?) weekday they were now offering this 'Blue Plate' discount deal Mon-Fri. It was also advertised on the 'Veganuary' website (the Go Vegan for January campaign), that's had to be a good sign!
Free refills on the green tea appealed, and when everyone else arrived (six people just fit neatly to a booth!) I pressed the red button on the table to call the server and we ordered drinks and food. We were also offered their vegan menu. Duh to me! I didn't realise they'd have this! (I think they also have a separate gluten free one, too).
It was £2.70 for three inari sushi pockets (a blue plate) which is the best value I've seen for this dish, one of my favourites! £1.90 for the cucumber maki (green plate), and £2.70 for the vegetable yakisoba - I think this one is usually a little more expensive, an orange plate. All in for the three dishes and the green teas it was £9, which I thought was really good. We also got given two cards each with an offer of 'buy two blue plates get one free' which we can use before Jan 29th, in any branch.
Unlike their other Glasgow branches in Braehead and the city centre, they don't have the tofu katsu curry or the pumpkin katsu curry because they only have one fryer and they use that for frying meat products. Aha! That's definitely worth a drop in rating. I need to visit another branch and see if I find that one 5-star worthy. read more
