We LOVE this sushi place! We often order takeaway to collect, and everything is always packaged nicely and tastes great, with good prices! I don't eat in as often, but we did come here a couple of weeks ago for a nice dinner, and it was lovely. Eating in lets me step out of my regular ordering as well! The waitress was super sweet, albeit I felt bad as she was the only one for all of the tables on top of the constant handover of Skip the Dishes and customers picking up. She was lovely and looked after us well. Really like the tempura here too - I don't order it often, but when I do, it's here. Honestly, great portions and quality for a small unassuming sushi joint in the NW. I must make a comment though - we definitely felt there should be some subtle background music or even a TV playing to make it less quiet. It was pretty quiet at times and I always feel weird at restaurants that have no background sound.
I have a theory about sushi joints in strip malls -- they exist for a reason. You don't come to the strip mall expecting a 4-star dining experience, especially one with name like Yume -- get it? Lots of entendre. But surprisingly some of the best sushi is found in these out of the way places and this is one of them. When I go into a new spot the fist thing I look for is miso soup -- if it's more that $1.50 leave immediately. There is absolutely no reason for miso to be more than $3, it's basically bean paste tea. The rest is semantics. The art of sushi isn't in the food as much as the details. And from reading the past reviews Yume seems to have upped it's game. Which is nice to see because it's surprisingly good and surprisingly affordable.
The value here is incredible! $1 sushi?! And that being said, this is very high quality seafood. The sashimi was right on spot! Perfectly fresh and sliced beautifully.
The decor here is pretty plain Jane though so don't go here for a date night. Sadly the beef tataki (my favourite dish) was underwhelming. The beef was too thick and it really lacked flavour. Service was very good and they do serve alcohol (not a great variety though).
For the value and a high quality weeknight sushi fix, this is your place. 😊🍣
Picked up some takeout and was pleasantly surprised with the value of this place. They have a large selection of $1.25 nigiri and sashimi and the portions were quite large. Also ordered a few rolls and they were quite good. Not the freshest or most authentic sushi place but sometimes you just want a good sushi feast!
Nothing was bad here, but nothing was particularly great either. One point to make is that the prices have increased (not by much) from the menu on here. The service was good, the sushi was tasty but nothing really wowed me or my partner. If I'm ever in he area I would return but I'm not planning on making a trip just for it sushi again.
Sushi and rolls are yummy good! Ramen was ok. We also ordered fresh oyster and dis not like it it feels like its frozen and not that fresh anymore. Place is ok, fast service too.
This has become our go to sushi place. Food is fresh and high quality, staff are always friendly, and best part is the PRICE. You can have an amazing meal for two for $40! My only regret is having lived in the neighbourhood for 6 years and only discovered Yume last year! I highly recommend the chopped scallop roll and jade roll. A real gem in the city!
This place is good if your looking for a casual night of sushi and don't want to spend a lot of money.
Last time we were there they had changed their menu to include more trendy sushi rolls. We did try them but their original menu items were better!
Cheap sushi. Better than you'd think for what it cost per piece. But definitely not one of the best sushi places in town. Don't get me wrong. I come back often cuz of the cheap prices and above average sushi!
We stopped by (the north location) because we were in a rush to get some food. We first checked out the take out menu and found the price to be very reasonable. Lots of $1 sushi!! We decided to eat in instead of take out. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. We were running late for a friend's birthday party and asked if they could get the food ready faster. They didn't disappoint us and had the food on our table very quickly. We were really happy with the overall expereience, and went back again a week later!!
