Review # 21 - Yo Sushi, Dundrum

Yo Sushi – Dundrum Shopping Centre


A: Level 1, Dundrum Town Centre, Dublin 14

I’m off to Dundrum today and you can be sure that I will pop into Yo Sushi for a snack. I just love Sushi and remember the first time my Aunty took me for sushi when I was quite a young child, I was so excited to be trying something so new and exciting. I am baby free today but my husband and I have taken little monkey there on many an occasion and she absolutely loves it. The first time we went there I was really unsure if there would be much for Amelie to eat but I was delighted at the choice. The novelty of the sushi train was brilliant Amelie would peer in the bowls and choose something she wanted to try. I initially ordered a plain rice for her as she usually loves rice but because there was so many colourful interesting looking things to put in to her moth she wouldn’t even look at the rice. She learnt how to suck up noodles and even tried to use chopsticks. There are always children of all ages there and I am so impressed the variety of food that they are eating from hot dishes to sushi and sashimi to tempura and spicy seaweed salads. Giving your children a variety of tastes, textures and flavours really develops their palate. Yo Sushi is such a fun way to entice your little ones to try something different. The is a lovely little fruit dish too with melons and grapes for them to have as a healthy dessert.



There are several highchairs available but we find sitting Amelie next to us in one of the booths is most fun, she can watch the Sushi train go by and feel like she is a big girl. When she is done eating, and we are not the colourful bowls provide a little entertainment. The staffs are amazingly friendly and used to the mess left behind by giggling and excited toddlers. The changing facilities in Dundrum Town Centre are some of the best around and there are feeding areas if you are nursing. On each table there is filtered water which is great because you don’t have to spend a fortune on drinks, however the bill is usually pretty pricey for a lunch or a snack, but well worth the fun that goes with it. If you don’t want to get carried away plan what you are going to get before you start grabbing everything that looks good as it goes past, that mountain of bowls can add up.
If you are looking for a bit of fun and an opportunity to give your children a cultural food experience Yo Sushi is such a great place to start. If you are out in Dundrum there is plenty of great shopping and be sure to pick up a copy of Irish Parent the free parenting magazine available all around the centre.
