Yo Sushi food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · East Hertfordshire

Yo Sushi holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the takeaway met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 7 November 2025, 8 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

What the inspector found

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Yo Sushi none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

Yo Sushi has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by East Hertfordshire Council on 7 November 2025.

Is Yo Sushi safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this takeaway to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Yo Sushi last inspected?

Yo Sushi was last inspected on 7 November 2025, 8 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by East Hertfordshire Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Yo Sushi?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

84% of the 1,168 rated food businesses in East Hertfordshire hold the top rating of 5, and Yo Sushi is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

East Hertfordshire Council inspects Yo Sushi and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
