Yumi Japanese Restaurant & Bar - Excelsior

“Great sushi and Japanese whiskey selection. Sushi rolls were HUGE! All quite yummy.”

“The sushi in the service was out of the park. I had an absolutely lovely dinner here with friends and my husband. The sushi was so extremely fresh and very well prepared. The wings were absolutely perfectly crispy and the sauce was to die for. I will definitely be coming back. This is a perfect date for somebody special.”

“I had a great experience at Yumi’s Restaurant, where we tried the Hot Knight and Double Dragon from their specialties, both of which I really enjoyed. We also had the Philly roll from their classics, which was good, and the crispy rice tuna, which was a delightful first for me. This was only my second time trying sushi, and after a disappointing first experience elsewhere, Yumi’s has restored my hope in sushi. However, the service could use some improvement. One of the servers, who handled seating and water, was a bit careless. When the soy sauce pot spilled on our table, he simply said it was fine without cleaning it up. Additionally, we asked for a high chair for the baby, but he forgot to bring it.”

“My husband and I went tried out their maki sushi because we heard great things about them. First, their rolls are very thick and fills your mouth completely. I very much enjoyed the feeling, although you can ask for thinner slices if you want. So far, I have been here twice and really enjoyed their maki rolls. Normally, I like to eat a lot but an order of calamari and 3 rolls was enough food for my husband and me. The chefs are Hispanic and have great personality. Our server was also hospitable and was attentive to us.”

“Family wanted to try a different sushi place, went in and hit red flag number 1…. Place was almost empty… usually a sign of something not great. Sat down anyway… menu is nothing special, smaller and fewer options than the normal places in Excelsior, Chan and EP…but dbl the price for the items they do have. Nothing on Yumi’s menu is different that is worth paying double for. Got a few rolls, everyone felt pretty mediocre and the kids asked if we could go somewhere else . Would not repeat- hard no.”
