You mean YO! Sushi?

Possibly the worst sushi I've ever had.. went to the one in the city centre once, the place was so dirty, for the first time ever I asked for the manager and complained!

Sorry I've not replied sooner - I've actually been busy today for a change!

I live in Winchester but stay in London during the week. There's a big Chinese supermarket in Southampton I shall visit on Saturday.

Selfridges is a good idea but I'm not passing one before the weekend alas.

Chinese supermarket generally has a decent variety. They also sell the wonton (sp?) squares/sheets for making your own.

If I do make them from scratch, I've got a steamer but where do I get the parcels, fillings etc? Any sensible answers gratefully received!
