Yo! Norwich

So I’ve always loved Yo! It’s been one of the more expensive places to eat but always well worth it. However, I’ve not been in about a year due to having a baby. So I decided to treat my wife for our anniversary to a baby free evening meal at Yo! The first thing that I noticed was that the prices had shot up considerably. Yes I know everything has gone up, but last time I went, the Korean chicken was about £4.50 for example. On this visit, it’s shot yo to around £7.50 ish? Now….. as we all know, the servings are amazing quality but quite small. We used to go and spend maybe £50-£60 and come out feeling full and satisfied. This time, we left when we hit £70 and couldn’t actually afford to have anymore even though we could have easily managed it. The prices have gone up that much! The food is great quality but unfortunately, to me, it’s now not great value for money anymore. The Yo! Fries for example used to be about £2.90 but even they are now nearly £5! It’s just not an affordable place to go and eat now. Which is such a shame because it’s always been amazing. Then I wasn’t best pleased when the waitress quite loudly in-front of other customers, asked if “we were ok to pay the service charge”. Normally you’d just be handed the card terminal and it would be discreet as to weather you wanted to press green or red on the service charge. I felt like I had to say yes so ended up paying an extra £4.70 for that. All in all we spent £75.00 on what would have cost a year ago maybe £45-£50 worth of food and no service charge pushed upon us. So it was a McFlurry on the way home for us rather than some of Yo’s delicious desserts as it just wasn’t affordable. We also had a blue light card which they wouldn’t accept on a Saturday (but fine every other day of the week). Bit gutted as Yo! Has always been our favourite.

Had as always a lovely meal had the tuna wrapped in black pepper can’t remember the name but the lady chef there prepared it for me and I thought it looked lovely… tasted wonderful as well thanks to the chef for lovely presentation

We visited Yo! in Norwich to celebrate my husband’s birthday on a busy Saturday and had a fantastic experience! The staff, from manager Sally to waitress Sam and the rest of the team, offered exceptional customer service. The food was delicious and hot and seasoned to perfection and although the restaurant was busy, menu ordered items arrived swiftly. We really enjoyed our celebration and will definitely return soon.

The food was nice, but I have to say for what it is, unfortunately I think it is overpriced :( I did not leave feeling like I had 'experienced' anything. It felt very manufactured dare I say! The atmosphere, staff etc were spot on and loved the choice of drinks available. I'd most likely choose an independent sushi restaurant in norwich next time, plus its good to support local businesses!

A strange dining experience, but very nice food and delightful, helpful staff. Order from the website, automatically delivered to your table! Don't order dessert at the same time as your other food though as it will arrive first! Very tasty as a starter too!
