YO! Birmingham Grand Central

Food was decent, not a great selection available but when we asked for something it was made quickly. The biggest down side was the service, the chef had to greet us because no-one else was available, after we were sat down no-one came to take our drinks order and when I went to ask I was surprised when the guy sat at the bar picked up a tablet and offered to take my order, he looked like a customer! All in all it was ok but not sure I’d repeat the experience. Dessert was amazing though.

I went for the Bottomless Belt today, and it was my first time visiting. No complaints about the quality of the food, which was made to a high standard. However, a member of staff clearly told me that I could order select items like gyoza, katsu curry etc off the menu as part of the bottomless belt. Unfortunately, when I came to order these items, another member of staff apologised and said the policy had changed, and I would only have the cold options on the belt. This left me disappointed, as I wouldn’t have the same experience I could’ve had months earlier. In addition the belt options were basically variations of the same thing. Salmon on rice (nigiri), salmon in rice (futomaki) or salmon on its own (sashimi). I saw Edamame once (I managed to nab it), and waited almost an hour for desserts to roll out. When it came to settling my bill, I was almost overcharged by £10 on the service fee, something I was not made aware of beforehand either online or in person. When I politely contested the charge, it was edited before my eyes to £2.25. Even this amount was too much, as I only wished to pay £29.95. Considering the mistakes made, I did not believe a service charge was warranted. All in all, this experience has dissuaded me from bringing my family here in the future, and I hope you can look into some of these issues as it may hinder return visits.

From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring every detail of my visit was perfect. The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, and the food was nothing short of spectacular—fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. I especially loved their [specific dish or drink, e.g., creamy cappuccino and avocado toast], which was hands-down the best I’ve ever had! The cozy decor and soft background music created the perfect ambiance for a relaxing meal. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable café experience!

The shitake mushroom rice bowl was phenomenal , that good that I ordered a shiitake bag bun ! Amazing veggie options in the sushi selection too! Team were so welcoming and attentive and we couldn’t have needed anything more.

Went to Yo! sushi, grand central station last night with work (Party of 20). It was a great experience, lots of plates to choose from off the belt. We also ordered off the menu which was really tasty and served quickly. Staff were very attentive and welcoming.

Sushi lunch for four. The mushroom teriyaki rice bowl was tasty, the salmon plate for two was okay. A couple of the conveyor plates didn't seem particularly fresh or were presented at a lower standard than I have previously enjoyed. The miso machine was also out of order. No button to call for service, so was a bit slow. Unfortunately, I wouldn't visit this one again.

The food was great and the experience and people are amazing only thing I’d say is bring some water and service one in the session was slow for us but the food and making experience is beginner friendly and memorable

We recently took part in the Yo! Sushi School and had a fantastic experience. The session was fun, engaging, and a great way to learn how to make sushi from scratch. Wilma, our teacher, was excellent—she explained everything clearly, made the class really enjoyable, and kept the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. The quality of the food and the hands-on approach made it even better. Overall, it was a brilliant experience and I would highly recommend it. Five stars.
