Excellent fresh sushi. Never disappoints. Will always be a customer to sushi Yu mi when I am in west mount.

This is the only place I get sushi from in Montreal. If you consider yourself a sushi-lover and you've never had it, please do yourself a favour and go now. They have an extensive and very creative menu with options for everyone. I especially love their speciality dishes like the Sushi Pizza, Tuna Tartare and the Lobster, Shrimp + Crab Phyllo pastry. Some of my favourite rolls are the Lobster Numaki, the Salmon, Mango + Asparagus and the Tuna + Blueberry If you've read my other reviews, by now, you'd know I need a good balance between fresh + flavourful in my dishes. Sushi Yu Mi gives me that balance every time! Though, they are a bit higher priced, they do have 3 sharing menu options for 2 people at different price points. I'd suggest getting this as it turns out to be more affordable and you can try a wide variety of things. Also, the owner is a sweetheart and recognizes and acknowledges his repeat customers. You can also see him making the dishes as you sit and wait. Always a favourite and can't wait to return! read more

Sushi Yu Mi is a nice little sushi restaurant on Sherbrooke that I spotted en route to school. The interior of the restaurant is very nice and is comfortable. The menu is simple and small but not too small and is clear and concise. Among the lunch menu which I ordered from. It is very easy to decide what you want. The prices are very reasonable as well. The food, on the other hand, was not terrible but not great either. It borders with mediocrity. The quality of the fish and ice is not up to par, the construction of the rolls themselves were not that great and the taste of the rolls falls behind many other of the sushi competition in the area. It's a shame and a big disappointment since everything else about the restaurant is nice. Despite the good qualities of the restaurant. The food, which is without a doubt the greatest factor, was not great. Unfortunately, I would recommend finding another place to eat sushi as there are much better places to enjoy lunch with sushi. If Sushi Yu Mi were to improve the quality of their sushi pieces then perhaps it would give it a step above the other competition but as it is now. Sushi Yu Mi will remain a shadow in the back of my mind. read more

Ok so I live pretty close-by yet somehow I've never tried this place despite recommendations. To be honest, I was underwhelmed and disappointed. We ordered the tasting menu for 2; a mix of chef's choice rolls. They were good about substitutions and the waitress was friendly. However, she soon got disoriented and overwhelmed with the orders coming in even though there were only 3 tables. We ended up getting our food last even though we weren't last in which made no sense so the wait was pretty long. Because we were starving, we ate everything though I didn't like their sushi. Their specialty roll with noodles instead of rice had a slimy texture which I hated. The majority of the rolls were bland and the rolls were tiny in size! It wasn't the cost that I had a problem with; $35 for 2 is reasonable. But the portion was ridiculous and the flavours were extremely bland. I won't be going back - would way rather cross the street to Sushi Shop. read more

I was really happy to see there was a new sushi restaurant in my neighbourhood and even happier to find out that the food is good and the prices are reasonable. Yes! Friendly service, a good variety of specialty and classic rolls, nice presentation, and I have to say - they did a nice job of the branding, too. My bf and I tried the green salad, two of the numaki rolls (which are wrapped in rice paper), two types of sashimi and two of the classic rolls. We didn't love the numaki rolls (lobster and grilled chicken), so we'll skip those next time. But the green salad was a nice serving size and I really liked the light vinaigrette. My bf enjoyed the sashimi, and the two classic rolls I ordered (spicy salmon and shrimp tempura) were delicious! I'll definitely be back! read more

For a small shop I was expecting the same low quality food as Sushi Shop but I was surprised by the quality and creativity of each dish! Each appetizer that came out was great in taste, quality, and presentation. Still really shocked for a small restaurant that does mostly take-outs. Would recommend the sashimi platter app and the lobster, crab, shrimp salad app. It was fantastic! It did help that the hot sake was only 18$ for a whole bottle :) read more

Have walked past this place dozens of times and finally decided to pop in for lunch. It's a small casual sushi place. Despite its basement location, it's a bright space and doesn't feel cramped at all. They have lots of reasonably priced lunch specials. The miso soup was quite good and generous with the mushrooms. Also had avocado rolls and spicy tuna rolls. The fish was nice and fresh but I would have liked a little more fish and less tempura flakes in the roll. Service was good. Overall decent sushi for the price. Will try their takeout menu soon. read more

Came here for lunch last week and was neither super impressed neither disappointed by the food. Good freshly made sushi (but not outstanding), good service, and generously portions (less rice, more YUmMIness - see what I did there?). Bill came up to $35 for 2 which is not bad for lunch. Will I be back? Probably not. But only because Montreal is jam packed with tons of excellent sushi places so the competition is quite high :) Nonetheless, a great option for a quick lunch in the area. read more

The Maki Lovers Classic is a great preview of their menu. Absolutely delicious. 3 times in the past month. Will be returning again and again, best sushi in the Westmount/NDG area ! read more

I'm very particular when it comes to sushi restaurants, food wise, this place is a 3 star. But I truly really enjoyed dinner at this place, the atmosphere and decor, the ever smiling waitress, and the price point is unarguably attractive. So I'm giving it a 4. The small boutique-like restaurant is stunning. The simple colors and decors only highlighted the clean and elegance of the place. I was in love with it the first moment I stepped in there and secretly promised myself to decorate my future kitchen in a similar light. The waitress is all smiles and extremely nice! She greeted us and since we had a buytopia deal for Chef's choice, she explained what it included and more, gave us ample time to decide. For $20, we got a sizable tataki salad, lobster, shrimp and crab meat in a filo cup, 4 specialty maki rolls (4 pieces each), 1 avocado maki roll, 2 tea pots with individual choice of flavored tea, and a piece of cake. The tataki salad is a great appetite starter, the yu mi sauce was great, with enoki, seaweed, mango slices that complements the plentiful of seared hamachi, tuna and salmon as well as the regular salad elements. The lobster and crab salad is creamy and delicious, they are very generous on giving plenty of seafood meat and the filo is eatable and quite good with the seafood it holds. The maki that came with chef's choice includes the salmon extrava, soft shell crab maki, shrimp tuna and mango maki and the salmon asparagus maki. The maki are not bad, but nothing impressive, the fish meat is generally made in the crushed form and it's a little hard to distinguish each roll from the other, the taste is not distinct enough from each other to be noticeable. For the after-dinner tea, there are quite a few flavors to choose from, most are the basic tea accompanied by some exotic flavors of herbs, fruits or flowers. They are served in individual teapots. We also got a choice of cheesecake and keylime pie, we chose the chocolate cheesecake. I couldn't eat too much since I'm lactose intolerant but for the few bites I did get, it tasted pretty good. Overall, I think the dinner was very enjoyable and had a lovely experience here. read more

Just got a take away from them on a whim - and didn't regret! I did examine the menu in advance, but decided to listen to suggestions they had. The waitress was very helpful, tasting menu didn't catch my eye on the menu but was nicely explained over there - and it was really great. Just enough of a portion, tasty, nice presentation - and in my neighbourhood! It is a small place, so don't expect too much privacy, otherwise it is very pleasant minimalistic design and you could see what's up with cooking i am definitely coming back for more! read more

It was my first time having sushi in Montreal and I must say, it was well worth the wait. Small quaint restaurant, excellent food with awesome prices. I did not expect the portion sizes considering the prices, and the store size. Also an located English-speaking neighbourhood so plenty of others to speak to. Waitresses friendly, chefs are pleasant. Highly recommended!! read more

One of my favorite sushi places. It's super close to my work so I tried it out and absolutely loved it. Small menu but makes things easy when trying to choose. The sushi chefs really out a lot of effort in each dish. I've also ordered the larger group combos to go and loved all of it. The price is a little higher than I would like for a place I'd visit regularly so I save it for special occasions. read more

Price was definitely right for food that could easily pass for more expensive if it had the right ambiance. Had the yumi salad which was excellent and their sushi pizza and all their so called favorite items and all delivered excellence read more

This is where I tried my first sushi, it was an adventure and I enjoyed every bite... except for the first - and subsequently only - bite with Wasabi. The chef prepared the dishes taking my inexperience and preferences among fish into consideration. I was left stuffed and happy! Thanks for taking my Sushi-virginity with class and style! read more

For starters, I've never actually eaten IN the restaurant- have only ever taken out so I can't really comment on the atmosphere... however, the sushi that I have brought home or to work has been stellar. Super fresh, you know it's made with care and precision (as it took some tiime while they prepare awesome rolls for you- for 2 people $45 it took around 20 minutes and I was the only customer in there).. That said, when I got home my husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how fresh, original and tasty the maki and sushi were. A definite must when you don't know what to eat for dinner & don't feel like cooking!! read more

We had some take out. The staff was great and efficient. The sushi are really good and the price is fair. Worth the try !!

Ok sushi. Had the tasting menu. While deciding what to pick the owner showed me something looking great. I ordered it and it came missing things he said would be there. Bothered me. Food was average. Miso was watery. read more

I order from this place weekly. The Yu Mi Tasting menu is the perfect size and variety of rolls. Really creative rolls, fresh fish, and soft rice. What more could you ask for? It's a bit depressing to eat in the restaurant. Decor is weak and awkwardly quiet. Do takeout or delivery if you can. Maybe it just tastes better in front of the TV. read more

Unpretentious little gem. It's not a fancy restaurant, but the quality of their food easily compares to some of the best sushi in town. I was surprised to love this place so much. Sushi is delicious. There is not too much rice in the maki, which is great. Specialties are original and also delicious. Service is excellent. Waitress was friendly and efficient. As I am writing this, I can't wait to go back... read more

This sushi place is a little out of my way, but it's always worth the time. I've only tried the takeout menu, but I can say both combos for 2 are delicious. The food has more taste and originality than what you'd find at your regular neighbourhood sushi place, but you wouldn't know it by the prices they ask for! read more

Great tataki salad. great use of fruit and interesting textures in rolls. Amazing quality fish

Great little place. The food exceeded my expectations. The rolls were good and fresh. They also accommodated gluten-free request. The gluten-free mango cheesecake blew my mind. read more

Love this place so much! Such fresh sushi and interesting rolls. Lots of modern fun flavor combinations and some traditional as well. Their salads are incredible, and their sushi. Omg! I love their tasting menu, it's so nice to do with friends and under $20 per person for many courses so I love that. read more

Super impressed. The portions were huge, they didn't rip you off on the amount of seafood in the soups, salads and mains. The prices were great! The service was just fine. Perfect example of a Japanese restaurant with their own twist which WORKS! I am already dreaming about my next visit. read more

Best I've had in MOntreal since moving here 10 months ago from Vancouver. Casual and super chill atmosphere. Maybe not a romantic date place but definitely a nice place to sit and eat a meal. Service was 10/10 including servers recommendations. Miso soup is special with tons of mushrooms. Warm shrimp mango roll and spicy tuna were awesome. Only complaint, I don't live closer. Worth the drive from plateau. read more

Great sushi! The lunch combos include a vegetarian option with interesting and tasty rolls (not simply avocado or cucumber rolls!). Most of the other rolls were also surprisingly interesting, even the traditional California roll, which was made of real crab. Service was fast and our waiter was very courteous. read more

Pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of every single thing I had, given the low prices and the small place. The nigiri salad, the shashimi plate, tar tar tuna were outstanding!!! This little place puts to shame some of those pricey high end sushi restaurants Montreal is flooded with. read more

Very creative menu here, I had the chef's choice and it was amazing. Fresh fish, unique combinations, and totally able to accommodate our party's gluten allergy with almost every dish on the menu. read more

Have gotten takeout here twice. Both times it was disappointing, one time a few things bordered on gag-worthy. I really wanted to like this place as it's in my neighborhood and the presentation seemed to promise higher-quality fare than many other places, but no dice. Details: - Their nigiri sushi was very good the first time around and was the reason we gave it another shot. The fish is cut nicely, not too thick, not too thin, they make nice "wrap-around" nigiris and their rice is good. Second time around, it was reasonably good, although my wife gagged on their hamachi. - They ruin their rolls, even standards like rainbow or kamikaze, in one of two ways: a) By using too much spicy sauce, and mixing it with the tempura that's supposed to be crispy, for an end result of mushy mayo-tempura; b) By using something called "Yu Mi sauce" that makes the roll taste just like fishy cole slaw, in particular with rolls that have crab (e.g. their rainbow roll, which otherwise might have been quite good) - Note that it's possible their rolls aren't so mushy when you eat them right after preparation at the restaurant; we haven't tried. - They have something called tempura sushi, which is very tasty but in which you can hardly taste the fish at all any more, so it's more like some kind of fast food. We tried it on a vegetable chip and enjoyed it. read more

I have an allergy to dairy and soy and this place was able to accommodate me with delicious options. Great sushi for a reasonable price. I will definitely order from here again! read more

A while ago I switched to the cheaper/faster competitor across the street for convenience. I went back today for takeout- still more expensive and slower but what a difference in quality!! I had the tasting plate and everything was absolutely delicious. I barely touched the soy sauce there was so much flavor already. Tom yum soup had actual crab and salmon piece in it, and the fish was fresh and tender! I'm a fan :) read more

My husband and I tried this place yesterday after I read the reviews on Yelp. We were not disappointed. It was really great! Everything was fresh, with an authentic taste. We will definitely go back. read more
