Last week I won a meal for four at the brand new Yo! Sushi restaurant in Milton Keynes (they haven’t asked me to write about it or anything, but I thought I would try my hand at reviewing it). I grabbed a couple of sushi loving friends and booked a table. We LOVE sushi in this house…in fact I had to keep it quiet around Twink as he is also a sushi fiend and would not be impressed at us going without him…not to worry though, I’ll be just have to go back with him soon!
We arrived more or less on time and the staff were very welcoming. My fat wodge of vouchers was waiting for us behind the counter, and our table was quickly made ready. First hitch…they have these round booths. Round tables with padded benches either side, the sushi train (can’t think of a better name for it…) on one end, and a gap to get in at the other end. The problem was there wasn’t enough space for either me (with Squishy in the sling) or my pregnant friend to actually sit at the table! The staff were still brilliant & quickly sorted us out another table with chairs that actually move.
Then the eating started. When Hubby took me to Yo! Sushi in Bond Street, London, I think we spent about £30/£40 for the two of us…so do you think it was difficult for the four of us to spend the £100 worth of vouchers I had? Nope. Not even a little bit!
My favourite hot dish is still the Prawn Tempura, but the chicken katsu curry was also yummy…well, so was everything else, but that did stand out! As for cold…probably the tuna sashimi. We tried the desserts this time…I wasn’t a huge fan of the chocolate mochi thing. It tasted nice, but had the oddest texture! Hubby liked his chocolate cake more…at least he didn’t share it with me. We didn’t have any spoons on our table, so being slightly mad, the boys decided to try to eat it with their chopsticks…
Even Squishy joined in the fun, deciding that being in the sling facing mummy was a bit boring, so she sat facing the table for a while. She eyed up my prawn tempura, had a hold of some chopsticks and generally chatted away with my lovely friend A.
We had a fabulous time. Obviously being a sushi addict, the restaurant would have had to be pretty bad for me to not go back, but they really were lovely. I can’t tell you how happy I am that MK finally has a sushi bar!
