I have been to Yo! in several occasions and in different places. I can honestly say that this was the worst experience I have ever had. I am not sure why it had to move from where it was in meadowhall but it was not a great idea.As we approached the dining space there was about 10 people in. We waited at the designated place, and stood there for about 10 minutes, whilst staff just walked past us. We were then taken to a booth. Well there was not a lot of space, the cushions did not allow you to slide along. The server came and explained that she would take any orders. After about 20 minutes she came back and we ordered drinks, I could not believe that a can of coke was nearly £4. The food going round in the belt was boring and displayed badly, it was all the same dishes. The drinks finally came. I selected two dishes one of them was edame beans.The food was tasteless and the portions were small.On a neighboring table they ordered something hot. One of the dishes was noodles with a sauce on, when it came the portion was even a portion.The seating was like a school dining room and if full you would feel like you were sitting in the person next to you knee.All in all I won't be returning and won't be recommending it to anyone. It was daylight robbery. And the change is not for the best. Shame.

very rude and condescending

went in for lunch, was stood outside waiting for about 5 minutes which would be okay but the workers acknowledged us and compelled ignored us even though it was practically empty. a worker eventually came over and very rudely asked if we knew how to get the food which they seemed like because we hadn’t been before we were stupid. quickly left after that the service put us off with how we were spoken to. (try wagamamas so much better and probably the same price)

New restaurant. Liked the layout and seating but took ages to be recognised that we wanted to eat there by staff and food (teriyaki beef) was burnt and dry with no taste. Shan't be going back. It's not been the same since COVID.

Loved the previous yo sushi in meadowhall so was excited to try the new restaurant style that's opened, however left super disappointed. No QR codes to be able to order in your own time anymore, so you wait for someone to come take your order which seemed to take quite a while. After ordering drinks they came about 15mins later. I ordered pumpkin katsu which took about 20mins to come and then was given chicken katsu so had to send back and wait for the right dish. Slow and clunky service especially waiting so long for staff to come take your order. To then be charged a service charge which you arent told about beforehand, which i would have no problem at all with normally, but the service was not great at all. Paid over £60 to leave hungry and disappointed, and went to macdonalds after to pick up more food. After loving yo sushi for years, wont be coming back to this particular restaurant anytime soon, and it makes me sad to say that but its the worst dining experience ive had in yo sushi so far.

We visited Yo in Meadowhall for the first time in a few years and can honestly say we wished we hadn’t bothered. All the food is now extremely overpriced for what it is, and the quality and variety has gone down hill. We had an ask twice for one dish as it didn’t arrive, then we were served a dish we didn’t even order (and we only ordered 9 dishes). Yo now adds a service charge to the bill automatically, which I think is outrageous and is not done in this country. If I want to leave a tip, then I will leave a tip. The booths are so small you’re packed in like sardines. The atmosphere is dull and depressing and quite frankly there are far better sushi restaurants in nearby Sheffield.

We waited for a while before we got served. Host didn't explain how it worked. So we were both looking for the qr code to order from the table as it says on the menu. We called the attention of the host later,who said some would be with us shortly. Service needs to be better if you are charging service charge. Dropping drinks off and having a chef drop off a few plates doesn't warrant a service charge.

Probably wouldn't recommend. We asked the server if she could sit us in a booth, she said no, as we are just 2 people and they have some larger groups coming so they need them open, which is totally understandable. However, we then saw them filling the booths with other couples. There is no QR ordering system, although it does say so on the menu, and the service was very slow. We were seated for about 20 minutes before they took our drink and food orders. They also forgot about our miso soup, which we had to remind them to bring. At this point we decided to leave and go elsewhere, but it took a long time to get the bill. We also used the 20% student discount, but this was not applied, even when the server said that it had, and they apply a 10% service charge which is not clearly disclosed. The food wasn't good at all as well. I will say some of the servers were lovely and friendly. A shame as the experience at the old location was pretty decent but the standards at the new location have really gone down.

Fish full of bones half frozen and fishier than my ex’s privates . Rice was that best bit ! Service was excellent staff are a credit they don’t deserve to serve that rubbish ! £68 for 5 plates drinks and soup wanted to cry afte the small portions but half frozen bone still in salmon made me want of off myself ! Was a birthday treat to, I’d rather eat a goldfish ! Would be a bigger portion too !
Went for lunch, sat and ordered our food. Wife ordered chicken katsu, and I ordered seafood ramen. Also ordered some popcorn shrimp and 'yo' fries to share.It wasn't overly busy, but our food seemed to take a while to be served.My wife's katsu arrived, then probably 5 mins later, the fries and shrimp. I asked about the ramen to be told it would be 5-10 minutes more. I explained that we would like to enjoy our food together, and the server advised that he would chase my dish.When it arrived, the seafood was minimal and extremely overcooked. The amount of seafood was not even half of what was pictured on the menu.The menu stated that it was served with a soy marinated boiled egg. I received half a boiled egg that clearly had not seen any soy.When we asked for the bill, I explained my issues with the ramen. The server was clearly shocked but thanked me for my feedback.Overall I left very disappointed. We probably won't return to this restaurant again. ☹️

We arrived an hour or so before it closed during the Christmas period, so we were prepared for there not to be much on the belt and needing to order. We were seated by a young guy at first who was great but then we were told to place our last order, as we were quickly looking through the app a woman came over and rushed us to stop looking and place our order before we’d really had a second to scroll through, but there was no telling her no so we quickly ordered a couple of bits but probably would’ve ordered more. The food was good but very small for the prices you pay. She then rushed us to pay and seemed almost annoyed we were there, which is fine it was nearing their close time I understand people want to go home. I paid but then when I asked for a receipt she got her back up and asked why, I explained that the bill didn’t add up to what we’d had and she informed me quite abruptly that she had added a £7 tip (the only table service that we received was our food silently being handed to us over the counter and her rushing us to leave). At no point were we told about this apparently mandatory tip and when I mentioned it she snapped back that it was written on the menu (the same menu we had been rushed to order from). I’m all for tipping when you’ve had a good experience or are a large party, but honestly for her very limited and cold service I wouldn’t have given one in this circumstance. I also think that customers shouldn’t be forced to pay a bill that they haven’t been shown, nor should servers hide tips and take money for them without first mentioning it.
