Yo! Sushi - Gateshead

Rated this place 3 years ago awesome. now do not disturb, quality poor, service fee due due to kovid is automatic as they need to pay online and therefore here service is as bad as they obviously do not care how they have their money or tips. in the bag. waits for drinks. had to ask when they ask for more on their phones. miso soup unlimited, forget how they never ask u for refill. £74 for me and my 2 daughters worst restaurant experience in years. also in the rule they wait due to popularity. the seats are loaded so that the customers do the same as I. avoid the space!

Never tried this type of cuisine before. So was interested to see what was offer as I've heard so many people tell me that im missing out. Well it was all ok but the inner child in me was disappointed to see that the conveyor...belt wasn't working. Food was tasty but uninspiring. Considering what we ate i don't really think that we got great value and on that basis i probably wouldn't revisit this place but will maybe try a more authentic place at some point.

Part of the reason we went to the Metro Centre was to eat at Yo Shushi. This would have been the first time since before lockdown, so we were really looking forward to it. We arrived at Yo and joined the short queue. On waiting,...we noticed that apart from the 3 chefs, there were only 2 staff on duty. But with the need to order your food and pay for it via the Yo App, they seemed to be just cleaning tables and clearing up after people. Having waited 25 minutes to reach the front of the small queue, we were then asked if we’d ‘booked a table’. As we hadn’t we were then told that although there were clearly some free tables, they were all booked, so we’d have to wait another 20 minutes or so. At no time did the staff advise us while we were queuing that there was a booking system in place! The staff didn’t seem bothered about it either! What a waste of time! Yo, you really need to up your game and do some staff training!!

Amazing food and amazing people!!! 10000% would eat here again atmosphere was perfect xxx punkin katsu was sooooo yummy

Where do we start! After arriving at the restaurant and being called to come in by the kitchen staff as the front of house staff were no where to be seen, we were told to sit anywhere and not offered a high chair. Then we...ordered food through the app but no questions were asked if we had any allergies. We ordered a total of 5 things katsu curry, chicken goyza’s, beef teriyaki, salt and pepper squid and yo fries. Out of that the goyza’s were burnt, the beef was chewy and tar like, the Katsu curry was overfilled with rice and the yo fries were cold. You would have though it couldn’t have gotten any worse but the squid was so overcooked I couldn’t even bite through it. There were no managers about and take away was taking 25 minutes for other customers when the restaurant had just open and not busy. This was a waste of money and we won’t be returning here!
