We decided to get sushi after visiting the Christmas market downtown Kitchener. It was an empty house. The two visible staff working weren't concerned about people waiting to be seated. They instead continued their conversation. A staff came out of the back kitchen and reprimanded them. That same staff did not come to the front to seat us, instead shouted to us from across the restaurant. We confirmed 2 people to dine in. She wiped down a table (which was strange as it was an empty restaurant a little over 2 hours before closing) and told us to "come here". When we approached the table I asked "here?". She did not respond. She asked if it was going to be all you can eat or a menu. We chose all you can eat. She asked me what I was having to drink and I said water. She said "2 waters" and went back to the kitchen. She did not acknowledge or ask my husband what he wanted to drink. We waited for 10 minutes with no service and no drinks and decided to leave. For close to $40 a person (after tax) we felt that service should have been much better. We saved our money and went elsewhere. We likely won't return as there are many other sushi places with better service.

I came to eat it tonight, and it was very delicious. I ordered a lot of sashimi, salmon, etc., which are very fresh and delicious. The main reason is that the price is reasonable , and I ate a lot. I also like eel rice very much, and gave me a lot of avocados with rice, I like it very much. And the service attitude is also very good. I have eaten it many times, and the quality has always been very good. Keep going.

Absolutely loved the dining experience here! The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the variety on the menu impressed me. The chefs put great attention to detail in each dish, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. I would highly recommend this place for authentic sushi lovers!

Sushi’s takeout is always fresh and delicious! The flavors are spot on, and the ingredients taste very high-quality. It’s a fantastic option for enjoying great sushi at home.

I recently visited Yo Sushi and was really disappointed. The food wasn’t fresh at all; the fish tasted off and the rolls were soggy. There was a hair in our food so we dont feel we could eat that but they talk so bad and told us they’ll charge us for left over which it was only 5pcs. We order 5pcs of their desert and they cut the slice to 5 slices… Im so sorry for myself to choose this restaurant to feed my kids and my mom On top of that, the service was the worst I’ve experienced—our server was rude and completely ignored us for long stretches. I definitely won’t be coming back and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for good sushi."

A hidden gem. We love eating here because it's never really busy so it has a private atmosphere. The wait staff often look stressed and I think they prefer doing Uber eats orders but we don't mind. The menu is large and the sushi is great for all you can eat!

Had a wonderful pre-birthday meal here. I discovered it by mistake because another local sushi place was closed. It's an intimate small all-you-can-eat sushi dine in and take out restaurant I had all you can eat dinner which is about 35.99, definitely worth every penny. The food came out quickly, the server was attentive for beverages and with taking our orders for more sushi. The sashimi will have me coming back as it was fresh and mouth watering. I recommend this establishment for an intimate dinner or take out as people come in every few minutes to pick up their order.

Update Sept 2024: came back on a random day ..... The service a lot quicker but we were the only ones there. Food came out decently fast, but we were hardcore rushed. Kept asking us if we were ready. Kept asking us if we wanted to do more, like we were being absolutely rushed start to finish, as the only ones there. We asked for a recommendation on an ice cream flavor that they liked, and they were deer in the headlights not understanding.... I got a roll of sushi for dessert instead of sushi and she was very confused and asked if I wanted ice cream.... And Im like... Nooo? I didnt order it. Our first order we ordered pad Thai and they never brought it out. At our 2nd order we asked about it and they said 2 more mins.... And then at our 3rd order they asked if we still wanted it, and we just said screw it at this point. Bad service rushing us, food was -okay- but I guess you get what you pay for here. Feb 2024: We were there for 3 hours. We werent served drinks for 1 hour and werent served our first order til the 2nd hour and we still didnt get all our stuff

Ordered crab tempura roll for lunch. It was basic blend, fried but not crispy. Besides, there were no condiments to eat, no wasabi, ginger or soy sauce and it has happened both the times so I guess they dont serve it at all. Not gonna order again, although it was bogo but that doesnt mean to send a substandard quality

My friends and I come here often, the food is so good and I personally love their wonton soup, chicken fried rice and mango cake. The all you can eat option is great if you want to try a little bit of everything off their menu to determine your favourites However dont order too many things at once, they may forget an item or two, it doesnt happen often but its upsetting when it does.

July 22, 2024

Ordered sashimi through Doordash. It was inedible. Rubbery and not tender like fresh sashimi should be. My guess is that it was previously frozen. Avoid.

★★
June 22, 2024

We were one of only 2 parties in the restaurant at the time, and our server still acted like we were an inconvenience for being there. On top of that, the food was mediocre, especially the shrimp dishes couldnt even be finished. Overall many other more tasteful sushi restaurants around the city that can provide a more enjoyable experience. Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian friendly dishes, but they taste and temperature varies significantly from alright, to why?.

★★★★★
June 22, 2024

I love this place! Only been a handful of times and I m there between the hours of 11-1pm. They re not at all busy at this time which is actually quite nice cause that means your food comes even faster! Yo s provides pen and paper ordering, not iPad this isn t a good or bad thing-just an observation. I always order, spicy salmon, spicy crab, all kinds of dynamite rolls, yam temp rolls, shrimp temp app, wontons everything is delicious! And I find their portion sizes to be larger than average. There s a lot of over-priced, bougie sushi joints in downtown KW, but I find Yo s to be a nice down to earth place with friendly staff. Their atmosphere feels homey and not trying to be this cool, dark lounge like some places. And, I think this place is family owned and who doesn t love supporting local businesses. Definitely check it out!

Ive been going to this place for over 10 years and always come back. Just dont go there and then compare it to these other crazy expensive restaurants. Yes! I am aware that there are AYCE sushi restaurants fancier than this one, however, what is also superior are the exorbitant prices that these places charge. If you have a family of 4, you wont leave with a bill of less than CAD 200 (this for lunch on the weekend. If its dinner, youll pay a kidney). Yo is a much cheaper place with several delicious options. Give it a try to a local, family-friendly place that doesnt have a 1-hour line to get a table and that doesnt enforce a specific tip amount and other stupid rules. The service is great. They are polite and attentive but, please, BE PATIENT if they dont understand what you are asking. Remember, they are immigrants.

This is my favourite sushi spot in the region. The california roll has extra thinly sliced cucumber and the orange fish eggs which makes it stand out. Also the vegetable tempura is amazing, a nice mix of broccoli, eggplant, squash, sweet potato and zucchini. I am always treated like a valued customer. The restaurant has a calm vibe and I receive my take-out order in under 10 minutes.

The most disrespectful people I have ever seen in my life. While doing Uber, I went in with an isolated bag to pick up the product I was carrying to their customer and placed the products in the package. Guess what? The female employee scolded me because she thought I had placed the products incorrectly, even though I did not even know what was inside, even though I placed the product in a way that would not spill. No one can convince me that these rude people will do a good job!! If you value yourself, go somewhere where you will be valued!

Yos Sushi has won my heart with not just their exceptional sushi but also the incredible owners who are the best people Ive ever met. As a sushi enthusiast who loves exploring new places, Yos has undoubtedly claimed the top spot with their mouthwatering creations. What sets them apart is their attentive approach they not only listen to your sushi preferences but go above and beyond by crafting special rolls upon request. If youre a sushi lover, Yos Sushi is a must-visit for an unparalleled culinary experience.

We ended up at Yo Sushi on a Sunday before a 7 PM movie at the Apollo, and many other restaurants were closed. After seeing the existing ratings, we thought we shouldnt expect much - but the food was very good! Theres an all-you-can-eat option, but we ordered a la carte. We had the Kitchener sushi maki combo and the salmon lovers sushi maki sashimi combo. Both had delicious nigiri and maki rolls (there was a lot of food) with miso soup and salad. The salmon combo also had sashimi. I noticed a large number of take-out orders being picked up while we were there, so its a popular place. Even so, our food was prepared beautifully and brought to our table after only a short time. Well definitely go back soon!

on a not very busy night this spot is very peaceful. This place has very safe and comfortable vibes. the sashimi cuts are very generous. i really appreciate this spot. Kid-friendliness: it was so quiet and not busy the last time i went that there were kids playing with other kids. it was so empty that night the kids would go into the kitchen and play. The kids of one of the staff were playing with kids from a deaf family who were eating. very good vibes

Most of the food is quite good, but service was very poor when we went on a Saturday evening. Tons of people waiting for take out orders and to be seated and only 2 servers taking care of everyone. Long wait between each food order and some items would be forgotten. Spent over 2 hours there. Sashimi was probably the best. It was very fresh and they gave us big pieces. Selection of cooked food was also very extensive and most of it was tasty. One of the cheapest sushi places in the area. Wheelchair accessibility: Washrooms are downstairs and not accessible.

Absolutely terrible experience here. You only get what you paid for. This sushi ayce is def a good price but the sushi has too much rice so that you can barley taste sushi. And I can see that the cookers hand shape by the rice. I personally love making sushi and I garuntee that I can do better. I am saving your time and money, find somewhere better option. The two cookers were talking to each other loud without masks. Such a unhygienic atmosphere open kitchen. What is the point of open kitchen then?? I ordered one tempura onion and one tempura squid but I randomly got 6 pieces of tempura onions non squid. I felt like they intentionally try to make me full my tempura onions. Service was terrible. They put Wasabi to every sushi plates, and our third plate has no Wasabi and our server asked us to reuse Wasabi that we had for second plate which was barley 1/4. I was just embarrassed that I had to scrape for saving a tiny bit of Wasabi in front of my server. Also when I went Monday morning so we were the only table and still it took a lot to get my food. Only things I loved were seaweed salad and desert. They were good for sure. I was 100% willing to come back when I first entered here. However as soon as I got my sushi I changed my mind. Hire better cooker who knows how to make sushi. I think you go there for eating everything else then sushi, thats fine. Vegetarian options: Vegan sushi options

Pricing is moderate and reviews are somewhat harsh - this place is better than 3 stars. That being said, lunch prices are much better, as is common for AYCE sushi, and the sashimi I had did leave something to be desired. It tasted somewhat watery. The salmon was best and wasnt watery. There is a lot to choose from on the menu, including many non-sushi entrees that are part of the AYCE menu. I recommend trying as much as you can here. Many great dishes! Dont be discouraged by a few watery sashimi, all the rolls were excellent!

Its important to set your expectations here. The food is reasonable and some dishes are outright good, but mainly this place is about being a lower priced AYCE, so generally this is a place to go when quantity is a factor. Service is prompt. Selection is very wide. Their a la carte takeout is also surprisingly decent and usually a little more carefully crafted than the AYCE stuff.

★★★★★
December 22, 2023

Why are these reviews so low?! Service was fast, waters refilled quickly and food was so good. Everything tasted fresh and all the fried items were piping.

Parking is kinda annoying tho, not their fault

I recommend the teriyaki chicken avacado roll!

December 22, 2023

Food is good but not worth $40 for ayce especially when they do not tell you that the price has changed and gone up almost $10 per person Portions extremely small which is good if you want to sample q bunch of items but not good if there is limited its that you can eat

I can never come back here I have been a regular for over a year - and the other day me and my sister both had upset stomaches and we were both sick!!

Our favourite sushi spot in the Kitchener-Waterloo area! The food is fantastic, regardless of what you choose on the menu. We have tasted a bit of everything. The atmosphere is also welcoming and the music adds character to the experience, rather than listening to top songs on the radio. Service is top-notch and we love interacting with the staff. They keep their calm even at peak times and smile genuinely showing how much they care about their patrons. Keep up the good work! We highly recommend it for you and your family to enjoy a quality sushi experience!

I went here because my friend loves this place and he still does but he also does not eat sushi just other stuff like skewers and soup. The fish made me ill just like a bunch of other reviewers have said. I should ve listened to them but my friend wanted me to try for myself which is fair. I did have to rush out I couldn t even take the train back since I was not feeling well at all; I had to call a cab just so I could get home ASAP to throw up my lunch. I ve never experienced that before and I never want to again. It did have a good atmosphere though.

Also, a random kid, perhaps a child of one of the staff, was running around everywhere, it was whimsical at best, perplexing at worst.

Quite possibly the best cheap all-you-can-eat sushi place you can find in the KW area. The rolls are made with less rice comparing to other sushi places so you dont get stuffed easily. Highly recommended. However! Some dishes are available on the menu yet not in resterant so thats kind of irritating. Edit: back after four months, still a delightful place to eat!

One of the worst places I have ever gone for all you can eat sushi. Walked in and was not greeted after several minutes and when someone acknowledged I was there, they rudely yelled what do you want? When I said I wanted a table for 2 they couldnt hear me and screamed what? back. The restaurant only had 2 other couples there so it was quite embarrassing as everyone turned to look. The service is very slow - we ordered one round and it took 40 minutes before they came back to get another order. They prioritize UberEats and DoorDash orders over the customers dining in. I saw another review where someone mentioned they saw someone grab ice without washing their hands so I stayed thirsty for dinner.

The Best Fresh Sushi in town.. its really underrated and underpriced which is good because its always peaceful dine in experience.. the all you can eat buffet are not expensive and we tasted almost 20 dishes and every single dish was amazing... and best part everything is available unlike many other allyoucaneat spots. If youre planning on sushi and appetizers you definitely wanna hit yo sushi.

Decided to visit the cheapest AYCE sushi in town and compair the quality to other places. Too much rice (rice is poor quality) on every sushi and maki rolls, much less samlon/fish on those rolls compair to pictures on menu. Salmon Pizza was disaster , a lot of rice, very little thin salmon , A LOT of mayo that covered all salmon(I wonder why)... Convlusion: overall taste wasnt good , it is not worth saving 5$ to come to this place... my belly is extreamly full with rice and mayo, but Im not satisfied what so ever Two Stars for cheap price

Been ordering from them for years. Last few weekends spent over a hundred and this weekend same thing, on food. Tonight like normal. I got what I always did and asked for no ginger or Wasabi as it ruins the food and add extra hot sauce. I got 7 rolls, 2 large orders of calamari and seafood fried rice. I paid $3 for 4 EXTRA tiny hot sauces. Tonight they decided to revise my order to add an EXTRA $2 for the hot sauce on top of the $3, and get absolutely nothing included with the rolls. Period. I dont eat sushi without hot sauce. I can buy a bottle for less than 5 and get over 100 portions for that price. Your greed lost u a lot of money. I will order from Yes either sportsworld or Waterloo instead. Same food and they dont charge me to get sauce. Sauce should be free with rolls and if u want extra pay extra. Enjoy the $5 I just spent $139. Last weekemd i spent $129. And i tipped the restaurant also. Enjoy my money because it Will be your last from me. The service dining in here is terrible also. Rude to u and watch u like a hawk. How many people Ive talked to that has complained about the rudeness. #GreedGetsYouBoycotted

Food is amazing, we always order it from uber eats, we decided to actually sit down and eat inside the restaurant.

Probably wont eat there in person again but definitely still get uber eats from!

I placed an order on ubereats. My order included 4 different rolls and an appetizer. It took more than 1 hr 45 minutes to receive my order.When I got my order, I noticed that one of rolls were not what I ordered. I did contact ubereats about this, provided photos and they refunded for that one roll. On ubereats, they had 4.2 stars out of 5. This is quite surprising and definitely questionable after my experience tonight. I will never order from this place.

If I could give zero stars I sure would. I ordered food and when I entered to pick my meal up, no one was there to assist me, I tried speaking to the sushi chefs or waiters/waitresses but they were all unresponsive and smirked. They had some sort of emotionless look on their face, that similar of a Chinese work shop. A couple seconds later a short Chinese lady comes from the kitchen and stares at me like I committed a homicide, she states: what yuuu want? I advised her I had an order for pick up. No please, no thank you, on the phone while I m making my payment. Food quality nothing special. If you guys want quality sushi, save the money and go to kinaku izakaya, the quality and service is amazing. Dear Pathetic restaurant yo sushi. Learn customer service.

Weve been trying take-out from all kinds of sushi places in the Tri-cities during the lockdown(s), and during the lost recent shutdown weve tried Yo Sushi a few times. Theyre a new top restaurant for us! Where this place shines is their rolls. Theyre nearly twice as large as anything other sushi rolls weve gotten this year. The rest of their entrees are nothing spectacular; nothing lacking, but also not anything of particular note, either good or bad. But their ROLLS, man. Its well worth the extra dollar or two over the the competition. I cant wait to try out this places AYCE option when restaurant dining opens back up.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!! Tried placing a take out order over the phone. The woman on the phone told me 1 moment, i waited, 1 minute 30 seconds later she came back on line line, this happened 3 times! Then she put another woman on the line and they started back and forth with me. They said come into the restaurant to place order. The total time for their game was 5 minutes 33 seconds. I went in, and the phone rings and the woman on cash takes the order, walks away from me and goes and talks to her co worker. Finally I said can I place an order or not! The cashier looks at me as if I have 2 heads then plays a game with the order, like what the heck! I stressed to her that I wanted the noodles with seafood, she charged me for the noodles with seafood, I get home and....its beef! when I went back in to pick up the order, the cashier, no word of a lie THREW THE 2 BAGS AT ME! I will NEVER go back there due to their customer service!

I was enjoying my food from uber eats until i chowed down on a sharp piece of plastic either that or a toenail or fingernail, it was white, curved, hard and fingernail sized and sharp, in the Philadelphia roll. I couldn t tell, i just threw it out because i was disgusted, it was dug into the cream cheese. So yeah, eat elsewhere, these people clearly do not care.

Went here with a bigger group for a birthday and we were the only table. Within an hour they just stopped serving us sashimi. When asked if that order was coming they simply said they were out. Even though there were plates of it in the glass window. After telling them thats all we ordered, the girl said emotionlessly I can check and Do you want to order it again.... They then brought out a small plate for the table. When we were finishing up our dessert the staff started clearing our plates with us still around the table. And then there was no one to cash us out so, again I had to say something. Terrible service, bad communication, expensive to be cut off of sashimi when we barely had any, and unfriendly staff. Better off spending a bit more with a Yes or Kinkaku.
