At YO! Guildford, located on Friary Street, diners experience an engaging twist on traditional Japanese cuisine, notably through their innovative conveyor belt service. The standout dishes include the Aburi Salmon Dragon roll, a delicious ensemble of seared salmon, mayo, and a dash of shichimi, and the Avocado Maki, a refreshing vegan delight paired with zesty mayo. Customer reviews echo a consistent theme of excellence, particularly highlighting the freshness and creativity present in every bite. Nikki C's vibrant experience underscores the impressive variety offered on the belt, celebrating attentive service even during busy hours. This sentiment is shared by Scarlette, who praises the quality but notes a minor lapse in greeting upon entry. Nevertheless, the clever tech-driven ordering system received high enthusiasm from Keryn, who appreciated the fun dining atmosphere.

I cannot speak highly enough of this experience. We went to the bottomless belt for my birthday meal and there was such an incredible variety on the belt. It was all fresh and beautifully made. The chefs were working so hard and still cheerful and smiley and the front of house staff were so kind, attentive and friendly. Even though we were there for a special offer nothing was too much trouble and they asked if they could get us additional items several times. Even though they had quite a few customers in they stopped to chat with us. We aren't local and travelled for an hour to visit this restaurant specifically and I would do it again. 2 things are important to me in a good day, customer service and good food. Both of these were very much present. Thank you so much for making my day special.

I love you! There food never fails, it always is cooked to perfection, and the sushi on the belt is lovely and varied, and there was a good selection, we didn't need to book, we walked straight in, the service once we sat down was brilliant iv just taken one star off of the service section though just because when we walked in we wasn't even acknowledged for around 8-10 mins, theu saw us amd carried on, one was clearing tables so I feel like a nod of hello would of been adequate, had I of not been with my boy who was desperate to eat here and it had of just been me I would of left

Once you have figured out how to use the menu on your phone, it's awesome. No having to wait for waiters to take your order and bring your food or drinks, it just arrives via a conveyor belt, with a light system to let you know its your order - very cool. I would have given 4stars because you cannot comfortably sit more than 4 people at a table (we were 6) however, the staff made a plan for us. They were very friendly and accommodating, the food was delicious and the whole experience was great fun. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Will definitely continue to go back there, and book to avoid disappointment.

A huge thank you to Alex, who taught us how to make the most amazing sushi. His attention to detail and service was absolutely fantastic. The ingredients were super fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend their sushi school experience.

I love yo sushi, you can eat in and choose from the conveyor belt as good goes round. You need to be careful though, it is tempting to just keep choosing dishes and the cost can rack up. They do have blue Mondays, all the dishes are made to be a set price, 45 dishes at 2.80 each. They also do made up take away boxes, or if you don’t see what you want, they can usually make it to order fairly quickly.

I had a fantastic experience at Yo! Sushi thanks to Natalia. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my meal. Her warm attitude and genuine care made a big difference and really elevated the whole dining experience. It’s rare to find someone so friendly and professional at the same time. Thank you, Natalia — you’re a star!

Yummy lunch here today. We used the QR code to order straight to the table which was fast and easy. Service was good but the food was even better. Whilst it’s definitely not Japanese fine dining- for fast and reasonably priced tasty food, it’s a winner! Highly recommend the JFC special and the takoyaki. Thank you Yo Guildford and Happy New Year!

The Sushi was delicious, there was a super large variety and the overall concept for choosing your plates on the conveyor belt is so fun!!! The Staff was lovely and Ciara was super helpful!
