Pork Gyoza
Cyndi K.

True legit ramen offered at Yuimaru! We have been searching the Tri-Cities area for good ramen and their Tonkotsu Ramen is absolutely flavorful and one of the best comfort foods I truly enjoy! Yuimaru Kitchen also offers Hibachi service which locals love to enjoy. The place is warm and inviting. Our service staff was so pleasant as we mentioned this was our first time visiting and how much we enjoyed our meal. Price wise, the sushi rolls were comparable and competitive. The ramen is pricier than what we usually spent in other restaurants, but knowing what goes into making a great ramen broth; it's definitely worth it and what a treat it is!!! You won't be disappointed. Glad to find Yuimaru and excited come back for our next ramen fix!

The service was very good and attentive. The spicy crab roll was really good as well as the sesame chicken. The only thing that was a down side to the restaurant was the desert. I wanted the tempura ice cream however they were out so I decided on the fried Oreos and my girlfriend got the Mochi ice cream. The ice cream was alright but the fried Oreos were honestly pathetic and the worst Oreos I have ever had. They were stale and not fried at all.

One of my favorite places in Johnson City. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Can't say enough about this place, should be on everyone's list to try if you haven't!

Korean AND sushi! Sushi-great quality, fresh and large pieces surprisingly--top notch for this region. I had the not so well known Chirashi bowl w rice, see photo, and although it didn't have the tamago egg, I will totally get it again! Our friends had the rolls and sashimi, and they were fantastic. The best part was that this is also a Korean restaurant--rare in this area. They had very good kimchi served w the spicy pork bulgogi-pretty authentic. I normally don't care for the hibachi so didn't do that that was busy on a Sat night--we sat outside in the back covered area as our friends chose the place and so I was surprised by the Korean dish options (they had bulgogi too on the menu--for next time). Service was fair but our gal tried hard as our order was all over the place, our fault. The kitchen screwed up on tix, and she covered it well all considering. Oh--and the appetizers were great---Hamachi Kama--normally hard to find as it is grilled yellowtail jaw --so not too many of those are around; and the spicy edamame were great.

Kamikaze Roll, no white tuna, sub salmon

We've dined here a couple of times now and the verdict is that it's a decent spot that's close to home. The first time we came in, we asked about the toro and wagyu as well as uni, but they don't serve it to customers anymore which was disappointing. The servers were really nice both times, but their menu knowledge could be improved. Here are the things we've tried so far: *pork gyoza - 5/5 can't go wrong here. Served with dipping sauce. *tuna tataki - 1/5 seasoning was so bland, also not enough sauce. Used to having it come with onions at other restaurants, but it was just in a bed of carrots. Definitely wouldn't get this again. *salmon, yellowtail, eel sashimi - 5/5 fresh! *philly roll - 5/5 *kamikaze roll - 4/5 for a speciality roll, it is a bit small. The base roll or slices of fish on top could be bigger. It is a good one though. *Q roll - 3/5 very light and refreshing, but a bit too much cucumber for a naruto. *spicy sashimi salad - 2/5 the small amount of fish was cut so tiny and the salad was very small for a $15 entree. What we did like was that the fish was fresh and the sauce had a good spice level to it! Like I said, the food here is decent, but I'm not in love with it and I love sushi. I've decided on four stars only because I can't give half stars & it's one of the best sushi spots you'll find here in Johnson City. The sushi rice could be improved a bit, maybe with more rice vinegar. And the specialty rolls could be a tad bigger, but the fish here is fresh and everything is prepared well. Sauces are free of charge which I love, although the ponzu could use some work. The staff is super friendly and nice, and there are happy hour drink specials every evening, along with sushi night on Wednesday nights (dine in @ dinner only)! They also have a points system through Clover to earn $5 coupons which is really awesome, so hold onto your receipts for those codes.

Shrimp Sakusaku and Maki Combo Raw #1
Eugene R.

Always great sushi with plenty for both raw and cooked lovers. Excellent service once again. Carmella was on top of everything and so nice. Has really become one of my favorite spots. Try the New Orleans or Home Depot rolls for some different flavors or go with easy Maki combo if you don't know what to try.

I noticed this was an old review so I wanted to update. I've been going here for the past year now and it's become one of our go to spots. We usually go here when we want hibachi cooked in front of us, but their sushi is really good too. I do like their ell best so I usually get that.

spider roll, skip this

See all

There are aisles full of exotic ingredients. Like 25+ variations of soy sauce(s), 20+ variations of ramen (and similar) noodle packages, several types of Asian food ingredients, and supplies. Lots and lots of supplies. Need to pick up a thermostat for your industrial oven? This is the place! You can also replace or upgrade your industrial oven, mixer, fryer wells, deli slicer, kitchen and dining utensils, and find that special bamboo cutting board that you've been hunting. Want to make a Miso soup? You'll have about a dozen starters from which to choose here. Looking for dried squid snacks, ginseng tea, Hoisin sauce, and puff pastry dough...check out The Stock Pot. The back wall is a freezer full of restaurant-ready entrees and sides. If you're in the market for a 10-gallon tub of hot-dog chili, look here first. Pre-breaded pickles for frying? The Stock Pot is your place. #10 can of pinto beans and enough mix to make 500 pancakes, look here. There are so many things here that I've only seen here, and would have no idea how to use. But we try new things and this is a place to do that. Exotic fish and Asian-market type ingredients, spices, oils, sauces, it's fun to browse and we make it a point to come semi-regularly.
