I have had Yo Sushi before, I had some time to wait before my train so decided to sit down and eat rather than buy the takeway that I normally buy.
The concept of Yo Sushi may be familiar to anyone who has been to Japan it certainly is a weird concept for many in the UK.
Sit down and watch as little bowls of sushi pass you by on a conveyor belt. Help yourself to the ones that you want. After you have eaten they count the bowls you have eaten and charge you accordingly. Not all the bowls are the same price and range from £1.70 to £5.00. The price depends on how much is in the bowl and what ingredients are used.
As well as the cold dishes on the conveyor belt you can order soup and hot dishes from the waiting staff.
I looked at the menu and the first two items I chose were not available. So I ordered Chicken Yakitori, char-grilled chicken skewers with a soy-mirin glaze and Prawn Katsu, crispy fried prawns in Japanese bread crumbs, with a fruity sauce. I had wanted to order Prawn Tempura and Chicken Teriyaki .
While I was waiting for the hot food I started off with a crayfish salad which was very pleasant. The hot food then arrived (quicker than anticipated). The prawns were good and the chicken skewers were sticky.
I then picked a Salmon Nigri from the belt. The salmon lacked flavour but the rice was okay.
My final dish was Spicy Pepper Squid which was very nice and a good finish to my meal.
Still think it was cheeky that they charge £1 for water!
I will go again.
