Yumei Sushi Japanese Restaurant

Sat down at 7:20 and ordered around 7:30, then didn't receive our food until 8:30. We were just about to leave before our food came. No mention made to us about the potential wait time beforehand. We received about 2 Tbsp of rice with our main entree, which felt insulting at that point. Asked for more rice and waited another 10mins for it to come, which interrupted our meal halfway.

Overall the food is good but the portion sizes are not reasonable. There was no reason to serve such a small amount of rice in a $30 meal. Wait times should be communicated; we would've been happy to go to another restaurant down the street if we had known.

Had high hopes for this sushi restaurant as it’s one of the more expensive ones available on Queen Street East. Although the inside is beautiful and gave it 5 stars for atmosphere, it didn’t change the fact that the sushi/rolls/ pizza all tasted “off” and extremely fishy. We didn’t even finish a lot of what we ordered unfortunately.

The BEST sushi I've had in Toronto. I'd recently been lamenting the lack of actual fresh, delicious sushi in Toronto until I wandered into this place on a Sunday night. I ordered the chef's box for about $34 - a little pricier than most places but very worth it for what you get. This isn't your typical sushi place that tastes like an imitation of everywhere else - everything felt like it had a special touch and was so tasty. The sashimi was excellent - as good as the best I've gotten on the west coast. + at the end a server ran after me when I forgot my leftovers on the table 😅 very sweet and sealed the deal as my new favorite sushi place in Toronto.

Food is excellent but it always takes 45 mins for an appetizer and an hour for the main to hit the table.

Amazing quality sushi. The tuna was so good. Great menu with many options to pick from. I am looking forward to coming back

Sorry- we were too hungry to take pics of food! It was excellent. Especially the spicy fish soup- my goodness best thing ever. My husband had the vegetarian dragon roll made with tofu on top and eggplant in the centre and it was very good! I had the salmon dragon making- also excellent! But the spicy fish soup was the highlight I will go back just for that!

Our absolute favourite! Our number one go-to spot for dinner. The quality of fish far surpasses any other spot of the same price point. Chef Lee, James, Sam and everyone else at Yumei are absolutely wonderful and we always have the best time.

I have to say I was extremely surprised by the quality of food at this restaurant. On average, I would eat sushi once a week and Vancouver and Cabo san Lucas. As you can imagine the seafood there is very fresh. Not only was our meal here spectacular but they had a personalized touch they made. The Ebi Salad was spectacular. The entire meal was excellent. Loved it as much as I did. it’s only the second time I’ve eaten sushi since being here in Toronto and so far is the best. Highly recommend.

Sushi done right. We felt like we were eating a gift, prepared for us by a group of people who cared about our experience. We will be back. Thanks!

Terrible service, ignored by the owners got ripped off and spent $300 for two bottles of sake and what was supposed to be a chef menu and was basically the middle finger on a plate that took an hour

The chef box dinner has all the variety you need to try in Japanese food. Great value and the items are fresh and good portion.

I absolutely love this place! It is my goto (and only sushi place I go to) in the east end! Food is amazing, staff is wonderful and friendly and the vibe of the place is so peaceful! Great place to enjoy a meal with close friends and loved ones! Or solo! I highly recommend the avocado salad with salmon, it’s always so fresh!
