“I had such an incredible experience at Yume Sushi last night! Casey the bartender, and Matt the manager were incredible. Everything i ordered was absolutely phenomenal. The quality of the food was outstanding, and you could tell so much care went into every dish.

The entire staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. I’m absolutely obsessed with this place and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Yume Sushi to anyone looking for amazing sushi and exceptional service!“

“If you haven’t had a crepe from here you need to come here - it will change your life. I stumbled across this place while walking through the Ballston Quarter Mall and it knocked me off my feet. The crepes are nice and sweet, but not too sweet. At the same time they are so light and airy, they are the ultimate dessert or snack. Their drinks are also so good - I feel like it’s hard to find a really good matcha drink these days but these ones are legit. Also the location is great because there are so many amazing food stalls next to it and the space in general is nice to just hang out with friends. After you come here you will definitely share it with your friends to change their life as well.“

My server was Issac. He was good. He was just attentive enough to make sure I was taken care of but not too in my face.“

“What an INCREDIBLE time out!! We just stopped by after a wedding & wanted to try this place after meaning to for quite some time. The service was AMAZING. We had a couple mix ups on our order, but they helped us out and was very apologetic. I also mixed up my information as well, but they were very kind to us. What an incredible experience with their knowledgeable bartenders. Quite amazing mixologists, well worth a trip for the conversations and atmosphere alone!!! Thank you for a memorable time.“

“5/5 ⭐️ easily—this place has been our go-to sushi spot for a while now, and it never misses. From the moment you walk in, you get that warm, local vibe where they actually remember you, not just your order. The service is consistently on point—friendly, attentive, and just the right balance of casual and professional.

And huge shoutout to the chef—every dish shows real skill and care. You can tell there’s pride behind the counter, from the freshness of the fish to how beautifully everything is plated. It’s that kind of attention to detail that keeps us coming back.

Whether it’s a quick dinner or a longer hang with friends, it just hits every time. Love supporting a local spot that does everything right. If you know, you know.
