"This shift began in 2021 and has been rolled out across the country. Many of the features that I enjoyed at Yo! Sushi have been removed, such as the good selection of sushi, nigiri, and sashimi. Core menu items have been altered or removed altogether, and the conveyor belt no longer offers tempting options. The unlimited water service has also been discontinued, making the dining experience feel less enjoyable. I found the new Yo! Sushi to be reminiscent of fast food chain Itsu, with a focus on speed and efficiency over quality and service. The sushi offerings lack the freshness and variety that I used to enjoy, and the prices are now comparable to what I can find at a supermarket sushi bar for a fraction of the cost. While the food itself was decent and the staff were friendly when I did interact with them, the overall experience fell short of what I had come to expect from Yo! Sushi. It appears that Yo! Sushi has made a deliberate shift towards offering more hot table options in an effort to increase profitability and streamline operations. However, for those like myself who enjoyed the original concept of Yo! Sushi, this change is disappointing. If I wanted hot table dining, I could easily visit a restaurant like Wagamama that offers a better selection at a lower price. Overall, Yo! Sushi will be missed in its original form. The changes that have been made do not enhance the dining experience and ultimately detract from what used to make Yo! Sushi special."

"As mediocre as YoSushi is, I am so glad they 're right around the corner from my office. Anyone who knows me can vouch for my random and insatiable sushi cravings at least once a week, so even though it isn 't spectacular, Yo will sell me the raw fish on rice that I so desperately need. The sushi is of a quality just greater than the supermarket variety. Edible, sometimes quite yummy, but barely actually sushi . The fish is ok, the rice is decent, and the variety is fine, but when compared to *nice* Japanese places with career sushi chefs who have been doing this all their lives, you can see that Yo is in a completely different ball-park. Quite good for what it is, but you should be sure you know what it is before you get your hopes up too high. The hot food is a bit better than the sushi, with katsu, yakisoba, and various other cooked items available most of the time. My main caveat for this branch of Yo would be the totally awkward waitstaff that serves the dinner rush. We sat through the most bizarre and confusing explanation of their hot-food ordering policy that turned out to be a complete fabrication, and I 'm still not even sure I understand what he was trying to say. A few minutes later, there seemed to be an extra dish of chicken teriyaki floating around that someone had ordered but not claimed, so the waiter came round and put it down in front of us. You want? Um.... no we 're ok with our noodles and nigiri, thanks. You sure? You try and if you don 't like, I don 't charge you. No, thanks very much but we 're just finishing up. It 's nice chicken with sauce. You try it. *walks away* It was clear that they had made an extra order of the stuff and they were trying to get rid of it. I don 't know why they didn 't just put it on the conveyor belt because it did look nice and someone would have undoubtedly taken it. My husband tried a bite and told the waiter it was too sweet for him. I said, Dude, I would have eaten that! and he confessed that it wasn 't actually half-bad, he just didn 't want the aggressive salesman to win. So, Yo is decent as long as you take it for what it is. The real thing that keeps me going back is the copious amounts of vouchers they keep emailing me; I would have a hard time justifying the expenditure for such a mediocre dining experience if it wasn 't for the 40% discount coupon they were kind enough to send me. Keep it up with the vouchers, Yo, and this could be a lasting relationship. More out of need than out of want, you understand, but as long as I can have some raw fish on rice for less than the sticker price, I 'll be there."
