YO! Sushi is rolling out an innovative and exciting new menu across all sites on 8 March. When YO! Sushi first opened its doors in 1997, it introduced the UK palate to the art of kaiten belt eating and ignited our love of sushi. Fast forward nearly two decades and sushi is as common a lunch option as a sandwich or a soup, or a dinner option as a pizza or a pasta meal.
The spirit of adventure that brought us the first YO! Sushi in London’s Poland Street is embodied in long-serving Group Exec Chef, Mike Lewis who has treated the nation to an immense variety of new tastes coming out of Japan – from Japanese rice burgers to mochi – whilst extending our sushi repertoire from everyday maki and nigiri to over 40 of the freshest, most exciting and inventive sushi dishes this side of Tokyo.
Mike says “I’m really excited about this new menu – it hosts a bigger range of species than we have ever had before and it really celebrates all the different food we have available, from sushi and salads to desserts and also hot food. Everything on this menu has been inspired directly from my research trips to Japan – when I visited in 2014 I tried an amazing Chazuke again and have since been trying to develop a recipe that works for us to finally have it on the menu. Four months ago, I tried some of the best chicken wings in Nagoya that made me realise we should have them on our menu, sitting proudly alongside the Tuna Katsu I ate in the outer Tsujuki fish market.”
New dishes added to the menu include Okonomiyaki (a Japanese savoury cabbage based pancake), Buta No Kakuni (Japanese braised pork belly), Octopus and Mackerel Sushi, and a Matcha swiss roll.
