Every time I eat here, I briefly consider quitting my job and becoming a professional roll taster.
Let’s start with the facts: Every single roll is impeccable. Not good, not solid, not “decent for LA”—I’m talking melt-in-your-mouth, send-a-text-about-it-later kind of sushi. The fish? So fresh it probably signed a lease in Beverly Hills five minutes before hitting my plate. I’ve never had a bite that wasn’t beautifully balanced, perfectly cut, and just the right amount of “oh my god, what is that sauce?”
But what really makes this place special is the dream team behind it: • Yumi, the namesake and co-owner, is an angel sent from the sushi gods—always warm, welcoming, and somehow makes every visit feel like you’ve been invited to the family dinner table. • Ted, her husband and the sous chef, is back there slicing fish and breaking hearts. He’s quiet, focused, and clearly putting love into every single roll. (Like… literal love. I can taste it.) • And Hero, the head chef, is a legend. I don’t know what kind of secret ninja training he went through to cut sashimi this cleanly, but I support it. His technique is surgical and his creations are chef’s kiss every time.
Yumi is the kind of place you want to gatekeep but also shout about from the rooftops. It’s cozy, consistent, and criminally underrated.
So if you see me there, mind your business. I’m just having a spiritual awakening with a spicy tuna roll.
11/10. Would roll myself home and do it all again.

Clean nice sushi spot. They were Very Kid friendly. They had special fun character plates for my kids and very understanding. I would have to try this place again with my wife alone and no kids to see if it gets a 5 star for the food

Food and service is always great whenever I come here. The staff are kind and attentive. Some of the best, most fresh sushi in LA.
Long long waiting time for delivery drive. The order was not ready but they had accpeted it. People came and went mumbling but literally no one was responsible. Eventually they told me in an impolite way that it's gonna take 20 more minutes. I had to cancel the order and my ratings were damaged because of THEM. How are they accepting online orders if they are not familiar with delivery apps?

The amount is small, so it's suitable for people who eat food. I felt like the taste of the miso soup was lacking something. It seems to have the taste and quality of a Japanese snack bar. I think it would be okay if you want a place that is reasonably priced. I think it's a pretty good place if you don't expect good food.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Yu/Mi Sushi and I must say, the experience was fantastic. The restaurant offers an array of amazing and creative rolls that are sure to please any sushi lover. The rolls were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The freshness of the fish was evident in every bite, making for a truly enjoyable meal.
What really stood out to me was the amazing staff. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made sure that my dining experience was top-notch and went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests. The head chef, Teddy, deserves a special mention. His expertise and passion for sushi were evident in every dish he prepared. The attention to detail and care he put into each roll was truly commendable.
One roll that I highly recommend is the "Kevin Roll". It was a delightful combination of flavors and textures that left me wanting more. The blend of ingredients was unique and the presentation was visually stunning. I would definitely order it again on my next visit.
Overall, my experience at Yu/Mi Sushi was exceptional. The amazing creative rolls, fresh fish, and the incredible staff, especially head chef Teddy, made for a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're a sushi lover.

Very expensive with average quality, they present you the receipt with pre-calculated tips options after added tax not before, SCAM(Always remember no tip on tax)
Best sushi in LA. Very good service. Midori is super attentive and very dedicated to making sure customers have everything they need. Very consistent food with high quality ingredients. Chef ted’s spicy tuna #2 is a must try for everyone. The salmon nigiri with yuzu pepper is to die for. I order from here at least twice a week and it’s always fresh. After 12 years of coming here, it’s still my favorite sushi spot in the city.
