Sushi

Never been to a Yo Sushi but I love sushi. we have a lovely japense near us, I think I shall go for my burfday in Jan yumyumyum!

Repulsive stuff.

Filth!

Bleurgh!

I like sushi and have only been to Yo Sushi once but did enjoy it. That said I think it gets called the 'Macdonalds of the sushi world' by a few people!

Some of it's alright.

The word 'sushi' refers to the rice part. Sushi made with vegetables is lovely, one of my favourites things to eat. Oh, and don't forget to add a liberal helping of wasabi to your sushi pieces, more is better...

I thought it would be great and figured I would like it because I like white fish (cod/haddock), salmon and tune, but it's really yucky. It just tastes like a fishmongers smells. I just ate lots of cheesecake instead

I love sushi! My favourite food.

Yo! Sushi is very much the McDonalds of the sushi world but a good safe intro if you're new to the cuisine.

This!

There is a huge difference between Yo! Sushi and 'proper' sushi. Delicious!

WTS love sushi!

I do love sushi, and I like Yo Sushi. In the same way that I love burgers, and I like McDonalds.

Yo Sushi is gimmicky, and it's sushi for the masses. I think it's a fun place to go, and they have lots of veggie options, and options that may be more attractive to sushi novices. If you're looking for some authentic sushi though, it's not the place for you.

So where do you get authentic sushi from? Do I just make it myself or from an actual Japenese restaraunt?

Is the stuff at Tesco's more authentic?!

Are you serious? Supermarket sushi is rubbish!

I wouldn't know where to start in making sushi, I may hunt down a Japenese restaurant & see what it is like, I know OH wants to try it too!

I think Yo Sushi is ok, exepcially for beginners, I love their katsu curry.

Supermarket sushi is horrid.

I've made sushi a few times, it's alot of faff to be fair, and rather expensive to buy all the bits.

I do love a good California roll. Yo! Sushi is alright but I think it's quite expensive for what it is. But as someone has already said, it's a good intro to the world of sushi. I always mix a bit of wasabi with soy sauce and the pickled ginger and have that as a dip.

Pret A Manger sushi isn't that bad ....

PS Becklarrr, the Bulgarian guy in my Danish class selfishly decided to fly to Bulgaria last week so I wasn't able to ask him for tips! Sorry lady ☹️

Making your own sushi is bags of fun. We do it at least once a month. H got the bug for it after visiting Japan and taught himself through YouTube videos and the Sushi for Dummies book.

I think Kulu Kulu on Brewer Street is a great low key Japanese place. It's small, seats maybe 20/25 people, round a tiny conveyor belt but excellent food. Cheaper than YS, too. I recommend the aubergine in miso, the soft shell crab hand rolls and the mackerel sashimi is gorgeous. Koya on Frith Street is great but a bit more noodle-y, Roka (Gt Charlotte St) is great but pricey.

I don't know if it's just a takeaway or a restaurant too but Sushi 54 in Putney is amazing. Such tasty tempura soft shell crab. YUM.

I used to go there!

I really like sushi - best one I've been too is a teeny place in NYC where you get free Saki as a lot don't have liquor licenses (so can't sell alcohol, but can give it away)

Small world! We used to treat ourselves on student loan day each semester and order about £60 worth of sushi between the two of us. Once they sent crab futomaki rolls instead of temaki and when I rang up to tell them, they whizzed the temaki rolls over to us AND let us keep the futomaki at no extra cost. I was a happy as a pig in mud.

I'm not a fan. I love smoked salmon, but the texture and (lack of) flavour of actual raw fish does nothing for me. I also really don't like wasabi, or that rice vinegary stuff which all the rice tastes of, which probably doesn't help.
