Reviews Yo! Birmingham Grand Central

Overall the food is very good. It's always fresh and tasty but the portion sizes are small and quite expensive. It's very nice for a special occasion or a light lunch. The restaurant is clean and tidy and the food is easy to order via the QR code. It's well worth a visit if you like Japanese Food but be prepared to be hungry an hour after you eat Also...There is a service charge added to your bill as standard. Although i believe in tipping when service is good i don't think it should be expected.

We visited the restaurant this evening for the first time since our daughter has been born. The staff were brilliant. Two of the chefs were so accommodating grabbing us takeaway boxes for her uneaten food. They have nailed the basics. Most people are too quick to moan these days. We had a great time and won’t hesitate to return.

Edited 2023. All is now good. Conveyors belts are back. You know what. I used to love Yo. It was fun, quirky with the food flying round on the conveyor belts. There was a good vibe about it. It made going there fun and exciting, it was also something different for my kids. Before I launch into some mental rambling of an old man I have this to say. The staff are always polite, friendly and professional. The food is tasty and fresh. I love it there. Will I go back now though. Probably not and it’s for these reasons. Absolutely stupid ordering system. No human contact after the initial hello sir how are you today. If I want to go to vending machine for hot food I’ll jump on a plane and zip off to Japan for the experience. It is an absolutely horrible experience going there now. Scan a QR code. Scroll through endless dishes that may or may not be available on the day. This makes McDonalds look like a 5 star dining experience. You are under selling your products and more importantly your staff. I understand during covid you had to do this. Though now there is no need for this sort of automation. It’s utterly soulless dining. You even have the cheek to ask for a tip / service charge on the menu. I may be an old man but I actually like speaking to a waiter/tress person and when they give good service. It’s a pleasure to tip them. If I could give 5 stars to your staff I would , the same with the food. Your style of delivery for ordering is the worse ever. I may have well ordered an Uber eats / just eats or whatever else there is out there. Go for yourself. Make sure you have a decent smartphone, a damn good connection and prepare to wade through the nonsensical menu system. Shame on you Yo. Rating is purely for the ordering system. Food and staff spot on.

Great service, food was brought to us promptly and fresh. Staff very accommodating. Please consider more chicken sushi roll selections for people who don’t enjoy fish.

Removal of the QR code table ordering has made it a nightmare to order. It has made me warey of having as much as I normally do as I'm unable to easily keep track of my spend. Food is amazing as always and the staff are really friendly.

Great place especially if eating on your own Food was good quality… tasty! Service excellent with food coming just a few minutes after placing my order I had chicken Teriaki and gyoza. Sticky rice was good texture and took the sauce superbly. Fresh chillies on top were fresh and spicy nice. Gyoza soy sauce was proper salty in a good way.

First time at Yo Sushi and was pleasantly surprised! You could spend a small fortune here with all the amazing little dishes. Food was fresh and you could see it being prepared in front of you. Service was excellent. Would really recommend.

Good food served quickly. I order via app and paid when leaving

My husband and had lunch here after a busy morning shopping - the food, service and staff were fantastic. It was our first visit and we are already planning another one soon.
