Being a sushi-train addict in other parts of the globe, I was looking forward to my first Yo Sushi experience......and I wasn't disappointed! The menu was a bit more complex than other places I have been, however, which made it interesting - trying to identify what things were before taking them off the conveyor belt became a challenge of multi-tasking.\n\nIt did, though, make it a lot like my first ever sushi experience. A friend who had spent time in Japan with his girlfriend took me in and said that I wasn't allowed to look at the menu, that he would be paying, and I should take everything that looked interesting and just not eat anything that I didn't like the taste of after I'd tried it.\n\nWhich, I have to say, is a brilliant dining experience if you like finding new tastes! I would never, for example, have known I love - LOVE - grilled eel if it weren't for this experience (for which I will forever be grateful!).\n\nSo, having that experience under my belt (or in my belt, as the case the may be), I decided to apply a similar fun spirit to fishing coloured plates off the conveyor belt at Yo Sushi.\n\nThe format is similar to other conveyor-belt sushi places, with the coloured plates telling you how much each dish is, refillable green tea (the first cup isn't complimentary as it is in some other places, but they do have unlimited refills), and a wide variety of sushi-style dishes.\n\nMy friend recommended the scallops which I eventually tried and they were good but there were three enormous ones on the plate, which felt like a huge portion after some tuna maki. The tuna maki, I have to say, was incredible - at first, I didn't think it was tuna, it was so light, but it was fantastic. Go easy on the chilli sauce that comes with it, though - I found this slightly overpowering but, if you avoid most of it, it gave a piquant hit to the tuna. Tasty maki(ng)!\n\nOverall, it would have been an expensive night without the 40% January discount, however, it was a good quality of food and a fun night, so well worth it.
