    Food was lovely but service was so bad was almost funny. Badly trained staff who knew nothing about the menu. For the prices they are charging expect much much better. Avoid and go to Zuma or Roka in Lonfon instead.

    The dinning experience was very disappointing. Decor is lovely but tables are very close with minimal privacy. We felt as if we were sat on a table with those behind us given the close proximity, thus unable to have a private conversation with those whom I was with. Food was ok, but I was expecting more giving the price. Lacked favour, but presented well. Very much style over substance, and for that I wouldn’t visit again. I believe Cheltenham has a number of far better independently run restaurants with better food, atmosphere and service that I would choose to visit over Yoku. Don’t waste your money!

    Food has gone downhill, far from being authentic and overpriced for the quality of the sushi. Decor is amazing but the food doesn’t match.

    We come for the races regularly, we had an amazing meal here. We eat at alot of amazing restaurants around the world and this place is amazing for sushi and the staff are great. The 4 star reviews are probably from customers who had a bad meal but if 131 bar asked for reviews they would get alot of 5-stars.

    Another poor attempt at a chic restaurant! Food is extortionately overpriced for what you receive. I had high hopes of an authentic experience given the reviews, however this was far from reality. We paid over £100 per head for an average eating experience in my opinion is poor. Decor beautiful, with low lighting which isn’t always practical for eating, however appreciate that is part of the ‘appeal’. However we were squashed into a window seat with another table behind within very VERY close proximity, so we may as-well have been sat on the same table. Felt uncomfortable holding conversations with the party due to the overpowering bellowing of the table behind whom were obviously keen on taking photos (with a flash) all evening and not on eating or drinking. Our waitress was very attentive, however those whom met us on arrival were overheard making derogatory comments about other in the restaurant. Which is utterly unprofessional. I would avoid unless you are someone who dines out just to be able to brag to others.

    Expensive, £270 a couple including drinks and tip for the tasting menu (booked in advance). Lighting levels a bit low (struggled to read the cocktail menu), but this does give a night club atmosphere vibe, ministry of sound type music in the cocktail bar, and bar staff friendly. High quality ingredients and huge amount of effort goes into food presentation, I enjoyed every dish, exactly what you would expect from a top notch Japanese restaurant. Considering what we had I felt we got value for money.
