Yo! Sushi

Hunting & Gathering

Yo! Sushi has over 80 locations throughout Europe and the United Kingdom.  The second location in the United States opened in May in the University Town Center Mall. I was resistant to the idea of conveyor belt sushi but now that I’ve tried it, I can’t wait to return. There is an open plan kitchen where a small army of chefs prepare fresh sushi, as well as a variety of hot dishes. The sushi is placed on colorful bowls (the colors correspond to price points) and the bowls are sent on a journey around the restaurant past booths and bar seats where patrons are encouraged to help themselves. The restaurant is a fun, colorful, and comfortable space and the service is excellent. Don’t mistake the space age look of the UFO-style food plates and silver scalloped conveyor belt to mean that you have to fend entirely for yourself – the servers are plentiful and are all friendly and informative. There’s even a little ‘Help’ button located at each booth, just in case. Yo! Sushi serves beer, wine, and sake and there’s a convenient cold case of grab and go items called Yo! To Go.
