What we found about YO! Sushi

We found no halal certification for YO! Sushi. A halal guide says the menu relies on mirin and sake, which contain alcohol, and that its chicken and duck are not slaughtered in the halal way. The guide attributes that to the chain's allergen and dietary information, which we could not open.

Fish and vegetable dishes may be an option, but check the sauces and any rice or dressing made with mirin or sake.
