Yo! Sushi
Windsor


 Seated in a booth at the back of the restaurant we had a great view into the kitchen, allowing us to see all of the dishes being freshly prepared in front of us.  Surrounding the kitchen runs an authentic Japanese style conveyor belt (known as a Kaiten) which was offering up a variety of tantalising different options for diners to pick from the belt at their leisure.

Along with the changing dishes on the belt, there is also an extensive menu to order particular dishes directly to your table. We started by trying a couple of dishes off the belt (purely for the novelty of it), we picked a Spicy Chicken ISO (£3.00) which was a Chicken Katsu Sauce and Shichimi powder (Japanese chilli) it was delicious, fresh and made us eager to try more.

We then decided to order some dishes from the menu, I opted for the Prawn Yakisoba (£4.00) which was pan fried Japanese noodles in a mildly spiced and tangy sauce with vegetables and prawns. The prawns were perfect cooked and made for an excellent starter. My partner decided to dive straight in and went for the Chicken Teriyaki (£3.50) the chicken was grilled and coated in a sweet, sticky soy based sauce, he accompanied this with some Duck Gyoza and a Moromi Miso sauce (£4.00). The duck dumplings had a crisp coating with a soft tender meat inside which was also cooked within the moromi miso sause. Alongside the dishes we ordered some soft drinks (priced at £2.15 per bottle), however they offered a variety of Japanese Beer's, wine's and juices.

After some contemplation of weather to try something sweet or continue with a couple more savory snacks, we switched on our table light (which lets the staff know that you need their attention) and ordered a couple more savory dishes. I went for the Salmon Dragon Roll (£4.00) which was a sushi roll filled with crabstick, avocado, mayonnaise, schichmi powder and topped with a piece of salmon, the avocado and salmon were delicious together and the dish was so fresh and slight that it made it one of my favorite dishes of the night. My partner opted for the Chicken Tsukune (£4.00) which consisted of a grilled minced chicken breast skewer with ginger, onion and a sweet sticky soy sauce.

The overall experience was fun, tasty and accompanied with some great customer service. The restaurant operates a price per color coded plate, with plates costing between £2.00 for a green plate and up to £6.00 for a yellow plate, the system also makes it easy to calculate how much you have spent.
