This was helpful as I plan to take her to her first Yo Sushi soon 😊
really helpful! thank uu xx
Great video. Thanks for explaining so well! I'm definately going to try it now.
i’m going on sunday so excited
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
I wish yo sushi was still like this. Beautifully executed video 👌
what's it like now?
@@rjs8392 just pre packed generic sushi, sometimes abot of sashimi or tempura but a very limited stock.. and again its all pre packed as you suchi shut down thier conveyors during the covid pandemic. Ive not seen any plans or improvement myself to any of the you sushi premises wheather it be high street or train station convenience store. Disappointing as they used to be really goo. I guess they sold themselves to commercialism ad i e seen there crappy products now in the CoOp
@@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer ah I get that. Thanks for the reply
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
MY favourite is smoked salmon. The best!
Yo sushi has always seemed so intimidating so I've never gone in! Happy for this video as I want to finally go this weekend!
Recording at night?
Nice video. Katsu anything for me!
Hi, i was wondering if you could tell me what the prices are like? They don't have them on their website
About to go to yo sushi, can’t wait
Awesome video and good content. i dropped a like :) i have a new video in my channel if you have time you are very welcome to visit my friend :)
Best Barmouth vid. Well, apart from mine, of course!
I have been to yo sushi since I have started eating sushi since 2019
First video i came to,as looking for a closest beach to where i am in Derbyshire, and i see my name Sally 😁, my dad's mum was Welsh, Thompson family, spent alot of my childhood in Wales, hope to visit this year after lockdown, lovely video😊
I went to Yo Sushi in Cardiff, it was my first time but I loved how they presented everything. On my second visit there, I tried these cool taco things, seaweed and delicious pancake looking things. It was only £10.00 for 3 bowls, that is good value, for me at least.
Life saver... I'm taking my sushi loving son here for his birthday but i was clueless.. thankyou so so much xxx
It's nice... But for me, the portions are very small and over priced. For an experience, it's fun, but if you are actually hungry, you will get broke before you get full. 😉
Happy belated holidays in December 2019! Will you be returning to CZcams in 2020 at all? I hope so! :)
Happy holidays and Happy New Year to you too! Yes, we'll definitely be back in 2020 - I've got a few videos from last year to edit and then plans for more this year.
I can’t use chopsticks 😭😭😭
where are the insects ?
Hey thanks for taking the time out to do this perfect video told me everything I need to know. X
Wonderful so many stunning colours 😊
Thanks for the review , ive always been curious about this place as nobody else likes sushi apart from me but I will try it soon though and now i know a bit more from your review Thankyou sally 👍🏽
This looks amazing, I would love to visit one near me one day.
It looks so lovely and relaxing here. My garden looks awful and is in real need of inspiration.
I've never been to a flower show - I'm sure I'd come back hating my garden and wanting to spend a fortune on it! haha x
I saw my house it was the green one at 1:14 it’s a guest house
What a gorgeous place to live, you are lucky!
We always look at them and they’re very nice !💓
When we go to the dogs beach as we have a dog :)
I really love all of the flowers and greenery. That "yarn bombing" installation is so cool - the knit watering can! I love it! Japanese gardens are also my total fave.
I see that your CZcams channel is a lot about gardens, plants, nature, it's original and you succeed it looks like: already more than 1000 subscribers, congratulations.
Thank you very much for sharing this video. Real talents with nature. I see that you have managed to reach quite a lot of people with this video. Congrats.
What a beautiful and green view! Really enjoyed watching the b-rolls on flowers and installations! Great use of transition by the way :)
What an adorable cottage. Cake and wine? Yes please. I just the decor of the cottage, so charming and cozy. Plus, it is the perfect size for my family.
Such beautiful and interesting gardens. I love the creativity and uniqueness of all the different garden displays. It's like traveling the world through plants.
What beautiful footage you took! It looks like it was a lovely event.
Nice gardens! Very pretty. I think I liked the Japanese garden the best.
Looks very pretty, and a photographers dream too! Great video :)
Very pretty. Love many of the installations especially the urban regeneration garden. Wow! Great overview!
Despite a dull foggy day, the RHS Flower Show looks great. Would love to go there next year.
Would to have a a fire pit area in my back garden! It's interesting to see a couple of them incorporating similar ideas (fire pits, outdoor kitchen and dining area), but they are presented so differently. It's really interesting to see!
These installations are so cool! So much creativity on show. Really interesting to see all of the different styles from different cultures too - the information you showed on each was really helpful. Really liked the one that incorporated the habitats for insects.
Owh my, I am NOT going to show this to my BF as he loves gardens and would 100% want to go there. Lol, maybe I should show it to him. Looks like a great day!
Wow, busy day at the garden show. Loved the garden next to the station platform. Great outdoor spaces really make an area complete. Thanks for the tour.
Such a foggy day. Loved the reflection of the past garden. Great idea to disguise the water tanks.
Those human Christmas trees were kind of interesting, haha. I like how each garden has a title and theme at this show.
