Yes Sushi, not to mistaken with the national chain Yo Sushi, is a Japanese restaurant on the corner of Hanover Street and Thistle Street. In Far East style, the window menus try and tempt the passer by with colourful pictures of the food on offer. Once inside we were presented with a large informal space.
The menu was quite long and colourful, providing many pictures to tempt the prospective diner. There were all the usual suspects found on a Japanese menu, including many sushi options, katsu curry, tempura, miso soup, teriyaki and udon noodles. If you are there in the middle of the day, you should also consider the good value bento box options, all coming with a bonus miso soup. The beer selection included the trilogy of Asahi, Kirin and Soppora - all very popular lagers local to Japan. Other drink options included sake and a selection of Japanese teas.
First arrived the ubiquitous miso soup as a starter and it did well to wet ones appetite. Then the mains arrived, with the bento box being the popular option. The bento box was very sizeable for a lunch time serving, I selected option 'A' which included tonkatsu, sashimi, rice and salad. The food was just lacking a wee bit in flavour, the wasabi did not have the oomph that you expect and the salad ingredients looked slightly limp.
I have to point out that the service on our visit was particularly disorganised. Four of our dishes arrived for our party of five, with the last one taking close to ten minutes to arrive. We had to ask the waiter three times about the missing dish before it arrived. Not sure if waiter did not quite understand (something lost in translation? excuse the pun) or the kitchen just did not have all the dishes ready at the same time. This had happened on a previous visit, to one of the members of our party, so it does not sound like an isolated incident. The restaurant was not really that busy and there were at least two people waiting the tables, so it all seemed slightly inexcusable.
The city centre does not have many sushi options, so without the competition you could well consider this as an option if you are in the mood for this type of food. I would however suggest that if you are willing to walk a bit further, that there are other satellite options that provide a better experience.

Comments:
- Had a tasty Katsu curry, prices were good, but service a bit disorganised.
- My hot beef noodle soup was tasty. However - place was a little cold, and waiter forgot to serve one of us.
- They forgot one of the dishes. Food a bit bland
- Good food - Bento Box D was very tasty with perfect rice, pork tonkatsu, king prawn and veg tempura and a salad with interesting pickles. Service wasn't as great with one of our party waiting 20 mins for their food.
