It is the company’s 11th ‘on the go’ restaurant and was designed by DGA Architects. It is located on the upper floor of the North Terminal with an overlooking balcony.
The site spans 1,101 sq m, has a capacity of 75 covers and features an open plan kitchen that provides a 90-strong core range of hot and cold Japanese dishes along with a carefully selected array of wines, Japanese beers and sake.
As at other of the chain’s sites, the trademark ‘kaiten’ conveyor belt is the focus.
Spencer Sheen, head of retail at Gatwick Airport said: “The new addition of YO! Sushi highlights our commitment to invigorating Gatwick and providing passengers with sought after dining options.
“As we continue to roll out our billion pound investment programme to transform the airport and provide modern facilities, passengers will benefit from a much wider range of choice between ‘food on the go’ outlets, relaxed coffee houses and high quality dining restaurants.’’
YO! Sushi chief executive Robin Rowland said: “As we continue to innovate our dishes and restaurant design, we have naturally expanded our ‘on the go’ portfolio to locations like Gatwick Airport, offering a fantastic choice of Japanese inspired dishes to busy travellers looking for something different.
“Customers can quickly grab and go or enjoy a more leisurely meal if waiting with family and friends.
“Along with our array of healthy, high quality and great value
dishes, we provide a fun and fast paced environment which appeals to the huge variety of consumers especially those that travel through airports and train stations.”
The outlet will be open from 6am to 10pm seven days a week.
