“We had such a great experience at Yume! The food was delicious, but what really made our visit special was Hermella. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her service was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

We’ll definitely be back, and hopefully we get Hermella again! She is a true asset to Yume. Highly recommend! 🍣❤“

“We went for our oldest daughter 24th birthday/youngest daughter's farewell going back to college dinner. They gave us a discount for our daughter‘s birthday and we had wonderful quality family time! The last time we went was for New Year's Eve. We definitely like to come here for special occasions.“

“Like the vibe here! Every single dish is refined and full of flavor.MUST order the Spider Roll; the soft-shell crab is perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and insanely addictive! On top of that, their craft cocktails are next-level and pair flawlessly with the food.
Whether you’re planning a date night or grabbing drinks with friends, this place hits all the right spots! 🍸“

“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.
