"Canary Wharf is a usual favourite of mine but on this occasion, it was hugely disappointing. On a Saturday evening where the restaurant was not full but lively, I expected far more from the service. Not until we were served mains we were offered water. Our server messed up our sushi starter which then was brought out mid way through our mains which was not quite appetising for the palette. I’ve always loved the sushi at Roka but this felt rushed and really underwhelming. The sea-bream was fantastic I’ll give that. This was a birthday celebration and was not recognised as most celebrations are at any establishment. After being offered desserts no one came over again for almost 25minutes and we could not get the attention of anyone until we had to approach the staff. Was almost over charged for their error which was then rectified. This was really a saddening experience to say the least especially for a birthday."

"It’s always a pleasure to dine at Roka Aldwych. This occasion was exceptional special as my dear friend just got engaged. The food, atmosphere and staff were brilliant. The only reason why I marked down the food is because the portion size for the sushi rolls we ordered was very small and not the same quality as usual. That was disappointing. Everything else was great."

"yakinori sits on a section of the bristol road that is not known for its culinary excellence. it is student center; a stone throw from the university birmingham, where cheap beer and average Indian restaurants go hand-in-hand together, while pissed-up students cavort or do what pissed-up students do these days. I like this part of brum, because I can come with low expectations and not after home disappointed or broken. but eating good? No, that's a myth. or at least it was until yakinori arrived."

"We went after their great renovation and the ambience is good for one night in a quiet yet lively restaurant. However, given the situation not central London compared to all other many other Japanese restaurants I was, the prices are too high. I pay less for everything in an authentic Japanese restaurant in central locations. Sushi quality is great with thick and fresh cuts and good decoration and good selection of menu for the size of the kitchen. A dish that I do not enjoy was my favorite grilled egg on rice, the size of the aal was 1/3 of the normal size for the price of £18, as the aal prices have decreased little in recent years. For this reason I gave 2 star of 5 for value. If you are looking for great sushi in Kentish Town, there is no other place, so I recommend if you are a local Japanese fan."

"Yakinori has a dedicated Veg Vegan Menu of Japanese fusion food and the restaurant is fun and vibrant. Lots of vegan options and delicious, too. My favourites are the vegan yasai donburi, kabocha pumpkin katsu, vegan yasai ramen, the vegan sushi (especially the inari sweet tofu nigiri) and the vegan yasai gyoza. They do really good vegan bubble teas at Yakinori Bristol, too! The service is always warm and friendly and they also have 2 branches in Birmingham."

"While the food was mostly good, the service left a lot to be desired. Beef tartare: everything is good except the yolk that 's set too much, It would have better incorporated with other ingredients if it was a bit more liquid. Chicory salad: while the taste and its simplicity is to be loved, one has to realize that it 's Literally 5 chicory leaves with some pomegranate seeds and herbs, 5 tiny pieces of blue cheese, and 5 drizzles of dressing. My main course was halibut accompanied by a tomato salad, some pak choi, and a garlic bread everything was scrumptious with good aftertaste. The fish knife was smeared in herbs from the chicory salad (I 'm a clumsy eater . At the moment of serving the fish, I requested a clean knife. They brought it and just placed it next to the dirty one. The idea to take the latter out and wipe the table seems to have never crossed the waiter 's mind... This was pretty much the last time a waiter came by my table. Pak Choi is quite sturdy and cannot be cut with the fish knife my request for a different knife hasn 't been satisfied. My wine glass was left unattended. My attentive looks at the waiter afar were met with a smile But He Never Came Back To Me. Finally, I 've paid, then had to pack my wine leftovers by myself. The sommelier appeared again only to give me my coat and chase me to the door with strange questions Do you want a glass for the wine? , Do you want to put it on your room? (After my payment! etc. Overall, I believe my personality has not been illustrious enough to be met with proper service at this restaurant."

"Unfortunately, my papaya salad was certainly not freshly prepared.... the tomatoes were soaky and also the fresh salad vegetables with gum-like bite also the dressing was not pikant. The chicken with vegetables and cashew nuts was all right from the general taste, but also the meat appeared to me with a taste, as warmed up. My companions had more luck with pasta dishes and spring rolls. But I will no longer come through this bad luck. If I pay about 50 € for two bottles of water, an appetizer and a main dish, I expect a better quality. The service was extremely friendly!"

"The restaurant is spacious with plenty of tables. However, the service was quite slow and a few of our favorite menu items were not available that night. If we had been informed of this beforehand, we would have chosen to dine elsewhere. The staff were friendly, but it was unclear why the service was so slow, especially since the restaurant was not very busy and there appeared to be enough waitstaff in place."

"Fantastic! I came in with my family last friday and may I say I was not disappointed. The service was remarkable. Joana (the hostess assigned to our table) was very friendly, helpful but most importantly attentive to all our needs. She came every so often to refill our teas and waters (we didn't even have to ask). Hands down to the management training of this facility I am beyond impressed by the service. The dishes recommended were wonderful as well. Will be coming back soon and looking for my hostess!"

"When we finally found it we were totally unsure of where we were meant to go for food and staff were whizzing in and out of a door which was the kitchen and no one asked if we were ok, when we were finally told abruptly that it's down the stars (in the tiny kitchen area) we were shown to a table and which my partner was glad it was happy hour on the cocktails still! We ordered our food and it was really nice! And for the price completely spot on! Couldn't fault the food! However the one thing we were disgruntled by was the 12.5% added on for a tip, I don't feel we got the personal service to add on a 10 pound tip at all!! And not only that because the bill came after happy hour we were charged full price. As we felt we were being a lead on a little to take our money as much as possible and as quick as possible we didn't stay for another drink as first planned when we chose to eat there. We were in a awkward spot where people were knocking our chairs to get past and standing right next to table having conversations. So this put a damper on the evening and chose else where to drink and continue our evening! But I will emphasise that if you are going out a good food then I really can't fault the place."

"If you were rating this place on the quality of food alone, it wouldn 't score this highly, but visiting Yo! Sushi is more than just eating, it 's experience. Everything is so cute. From the little dishes for your soy and wasabi, to the cute little dishes trundling along the conveyor belt, to the little pencils and colouring sheet they bought out for my daughter. And sushi is just the perfect choice for me. I much prefer to have a little bit of lots of different dishes rather than one big plate of one thing. I love to try new things and I 'm determined that one day I 'll be able to tick off everything on the menu at Yo! and say yep! I 've tried the lot! And I must say I had a pretty good stab at ticking a lot of dishes off on Sunday.... I most recently visited Yo! during their 'Sumo Sundays ' promotion all you can eat from the belt for £19.50. And boy did I make my money count! I never find sushi particularly filling, but man I was waddling down the escalators out of Harvey Nicks feeling glad of my stretchy pants!! It was very busy, there was a queue in front of me 6 year old Mini MacDoo number 1 when we arrived, but it didn 't take long for us to get seated at the belt. My daughter wasn 't hungry and isn 't adventurous enough to try any of the dishes (much to her foodie mum 's disappointment! so I was a bit worried about her getting bored, but the waiter who served us brought her a a little packet of pencil crayons and a colouring and activity sheet to keep her occupied, which included a fab game where you have to spot six different dishes going round on the belt I got as excited as she did when we ticked the last couple off! So, daughter happily occupied, I began my assault on the belt. I scoffed hairy prawns, salmon skin iso, tuna nigiri, chicken gyoza, crunchy prawn iso, tempura prawns, chicken tsukune, Yo! Rolls and the totally amazing spicy pepper squid. And more. Yes, I 'm a greedy pig, but hey, gotta get your money 's worth in an 'all you can eat ' promotion. In fact I take it as a personal challenge! I 'm determined to take Mr MacDoo to Yo! at some point too. He 's one of these folk who think they won 't like sushi because they 're put off by the thought of raw fish. Or even fish! But I know he 'll love the yaki soba and the chicken katsu and the tsukune balls and the gyoza. Even if you 're not a fish lover there 's still loads to choose from so don 't let it put you off. So in short? Yummy food and a fantastic fun experience. I can 't wait to go again! Stop press!! Have just found out that Leeds is getting a new Yo! Sushi in the new city centre shopping centre Trinity Leeds later this year! Yussss! Bagsy being the first to Yelp about it!!"

"Let's begin with where to start. I highly recommend avoiding the fish taco starter. It was not actually a taco, but rather a mint leaf. It was truly awful and far from being a taco or anything Japanese. Overall, it was quite repulsive."

"We went to celebrate my boyfriend birthday. Food was alright but service wasn’t great. Waitress forgot to send one of our main course and we had to ask few times where is our food,eventually arranged when we all finished our main courses. Also some of the starters arrived but we didn’t order them and later on they were added on our bill. No apology or whatsoever, I wouldn’t go back there again even though venue it’s really nice and if the waitress would be nicer to us I’m sure we could have better experience."

"It’s not the first time I have problems with this place. They keep sending food that have ingredients that are not specified on the menu. I am allergic to dairy and more than one occasion they sent sushis containing dairy to me. Last time I...ordered this it happened too and after a lot of arguments they sent again my order so when it got to my home we received unripe avocado sushi’s. Veggie and meat option mixed together. One word: disgusting. Don’t bother eating there"

"Food lovely. Slightly put out by the service. We were asked if we'd like a drink and didn't receive it. At the end we were asked if we could leave a review whilst we were paying. Then we were asked to leave a tip. I will always tip but I don't like to be asked! In the end I tipped myself for the self service I had so diligently performed."

"It’s been a while since I visited this restaurant probably pre pandemic and we always loved it. OMG has it changed. Gone is the tempting dishes passing you on conveyor belt now you have order by phone …you have to ask for a paper menu…So you are seated and told where the code is for your table….order…pay and then the order comes to you and stops the conveyor belt and your light goes green. The Edamame beans which we always order and love were inedible to be fair after we tried two separate dishes of them both of which tasted like cardboard they were knocked off the bill. The sushi was nice the Korean Chicken took 22 minutes to arrive from ordering it tasted great but a very long wait . You are also charged a service charge …this must be for showing you to your table as …you order yourself…you take the food off the belt…you pay yourself so I am not sure what service you get…..I understand that service styles change however lots of food was “unavailable “ from the menu …they have taken the fun out of going….the plus side my bill was probably half the normal bill as I was not tempted to try the dishes passing me in the belt as none did….such a shame to see a once great place to eat become an also ran….we will swerve next time we are in the Arndale"
"Went for my anniversary lunch and was extremely happy! The staff are lovely and very accommodating if you do not know what to order or how to order. Situated in Drakes Circus it’s a tad busy with a bit of noise if you go on a busy day, but with sectioned booth you feel very secluded which is lovely! On the other hand, there’s a breakfast bar style seating available if you want to talk to everyone! The food was gorgeous, absolutely delicious I was extremely happy with the Set Menu and the dishes I got! Would definitely recommend, it’s a lovely, different style of food!"

"While the revolving dishes system is certainly unique and fascinating, the sushi's quite often do not taste fresh. For all I know, the same dishes must be revolving around all day. For vegetarians, the options is limited and there is no flexibility of ordering something not on the menu. Many better, more fresh Japanese fast food restaurants that I would suggest instead of Yo Sushi."
