After making its debut in Worcester and winning over diners in Leeds, YO! is now bringing the heat to Northern Ireland with the launch of its bold new Bento menu concept in the heart of Belfast. This marks the third rollout for the innovative dining experience, delivering big flavour, high energy and a fresh way to enjoy Japanese-inspired dishes.
The Victoria Square restaurant is the latest YO! location to showcase this exclusive menu evolution. It blends long-standing Japanese influences with inventive, modern twists. At the heart of the launch is the YO! Bento Combo, a standout selection inspired by the traditional Shokado Bento and reimagined to bring together sushi favourites and comforting hot plates in one irresistible meal.
They include:
🍱 Midori (meaning green of nature): Cucumber maki, kaiso seaweed, and spicy tempura vegetable roll £9.95
🍱 YO! (meaning happiness): Crunchy Cali roll, salmon maki, Sakura daikon radish and smoky mayo popcorn shrimp £13.95
🍱 Homura (meaning flame): Chicken katsu curry roll, chunky chicken teriyaki roll, and smoky fried chicken £13.95
🍱 Hikari (meaning glow): Salmon tempura crunchy roll, salmon ponzu salsa and smoky mayo popcorn shrimp. £14.95
Included in the price is a Katsu Curry Bowl or the brand-new Crispy Katsu Bowl; served with steamed rice and rich Japanese sauces, with chicken, pumpkin or prawn available
I was invited along to try them out and enjoyed the midori box with pumpkin crispy katsu. So many flavours to enjoy and at only £9.95 the Midori meal with its 3 bento box dishes and a Katsu bowl is remarkable value!
Head in to Yo! in Victoria Square and treat yourself.
