Excellent Japanese food. It's fresh, consistent, and delicious. The vegetable ramen noodle soup is incredible. Good vegan options too. Also a nice family run business. Highly recommend. read more

We have eaten there numerous times. The staff is very nice and always greets you. Service is good. The meals can be excellent. But, they can also be bad. It seems when we order the veggie meals they are good. The last time there I ordered a fried chicken dish and for the most part it was dry and over fried. My husband ordered a rib dish and it was over cooked. . I think the restaurant is over rated. If you go stick to the vegetable dishes. The fresh spring rolls were great. . read more

My family and I have been going here for months. We always get the Yume roll to share. Delicious food and great service. It is small with only a few tables but we have never had to wait. read more

So delish. My favorite place for sushi! I won't eat sushi anywhere else!! I've been coming to time for 4 years now! Great service great People! read more

This is a quiet little place across from Wine & Roses. The food and service is amazing! Highly recommend if you are looking for great sushi in the Lodi area! read more

A very good friend brought me here for the first time. Located right next to Wine and Roses, on a strip mall, this unassuming place has some unique dishes to offer. First I tried their eggplant with miso sauce, very tasty and flavorful but not my preferred eggplant variety, i prefer the more fleshy kind of eggplant. Next is the soba noodles which is quite interesting because it tasted like the real ones in Tokyo, the soba noodles was a bit grainy which is supposed to be and was dark colored (very authentic). My sushi rolls were not surprising and were just the usual kind that they serve here in America, the rice was sweet and a bit mushy, but overall i enjoyed the food. I'm a fan of unagi so i ordered my favorite dragon roll. read more

So delicious!! We got the Asparagus roll, spicy red dragon and Philadelphia roll. Fast service great food. Very happy I came here!! read more

Yume - Japanese Near Me - Lodi, California

Best sushi in the area. Everything is unbelievably fresh and staff is fantastic. All are very friendly and happy to walk you through the menu if needed. Whether you sit in or take out, you'll enjoy the experience! read more

Well, the prices for the exact same thing that we order every time went up $14 bucks and the rolls are smaller and lacking the same flavor.Every piece of asparagus was broken into smaller pieces, not the norm. Very disappointed. read more

I absolutely love this place. Casual atmosphere, AMAZING sushi. High end food without the pretension. We have been here twice now. Both times we were blown away by the quality of food. The prices are reasonable, the staff always friendly. 4 thumbs up!! read more

Incredible food and outstanding sushi, I've tried them all in Lodi, and YUME wins hands down.

Had lunch with the better half recently. Not busy at all. Food was good. Servings seemed a bit larger than most Japanese places so the value was pretty good. Only downside is the entree that I received had a lot of rice. I love rice so ate almost all of it. Had a massive food coma in the afternoon! I would stop by again if I was in the area. read more

This is, by far, the best sushi I've ever had! I have been fortunate enough to have eaten at my really great sushi spots in SF, LA / OC and in Seattle... and we have the best right here in our lil hamlet! I'm gonna mess up the name of our favorite roll spicy crunchy scallop roll is amazing! Bryan and the wait staff is as rad as it gets. They go way out of their way to be super accommodating! The miso ramen noodles bowl is a dinner unto itself! The prices are really responsible! read more

My favorite restaurant in Lodi. Masa is the man. Try the eggplant nigiri, it's a game changer. The staff are very attentive and super friendly. A more traditional approach here that is refreshing and a nice change of pace compared to the sauce laden rolls at other spots around the 209. Don't even hesitate, come here as soon and as often as you can, it's that good. read more

The bathroom was absolutely horrifying! It didn't look like it had been cleaned in months! I'm surprised my shoes didn't come off the floor was so sticky. If I had gone to the bathroom before ordering my food I would not have eaten there. If they're willing to let the public see that I would be appalled I'm sure to see their disgusting kitchen. The service was slow and the waitress was feeding her own family instead of taking care of her paying customers. I won't be eating there again. read more

The sushi is great here. They have no problem making custom rolls for the choosier eaters in the group. The tomato wrap is delicious. The service is great. And I love that it's local so I can go whenever the mood strikes. read more

The food was beyond awesome. Driving 30 minutes from sacramento to Lodi in order to enjoy a quality japanese meal. read more

First of all, let me start by saying that it is rare to find a real, traditional Japanese restuarant. The chef is not only from Japan, but his parents own a sushi restuarant in Japan as well! Chef Masa was very curious to find out what me and my friends like, and upon telling him our favorite dishes, he created beautiful masterpieces that tasted as wonderful as they looked!! Nigiri, sushi rolls, teriyaki chicken, and even the miso soup were all absolutely superb. The flavor of the sauces do not over-power the taste of the fish, and I could tell that everything was extremely fresh. The teriyaki sauce on the chicken was the best I've ever had, and the miso soup was filled with delicious wakame seaweed & tofu. The atmosphere, food, & staff were all beyond expectation from a small restaurant in Lodi. I must say, this place is my new favorite!!!! read more

Believe me when I say Yume has the freshest sushi around. You can actually taste the difference between other sushi restaurants in the area. My default is the snow crab California roll, which is a nice twist on your regular California roll, substituting fresh snow crab for the standard imitation crab. Very light, but wonderfully flavorful. While the menu is lacking a large selection of rolls, what is available on the menu is executed to perfection with very balanced flavoring. Presentation is superb as well. The staff is very friendly and make great suggestions when you can't decide for yourself. The owner/chef always makes it his business to walk around the room and check on his patrons. Great service. So glad this placed opened up in Lodi. read more

Driving home from a long day at work and sushi sounded good. Trying to figure out where to go and figured I would come here. I walked up to the front and placed an order to go. The girl took my order and asked for my phone number and I asked her why and she said because it was going to be 30 minutes for me to get a to go order. I asked her why 30 minutes for take out and she replied that they were busy! Isn't that one of the reasons that you get take out? I had my kids at home waiting for me so I just walked out and will never return. I have been in this place one time before and it wasn't that great of Sushi and it had been a couple of years so I figured I would give it another shot, WRONG! read more

Yume was a surprise. I love sushi and the like but no one ever mentioned Yume. I read the high praise on Yelp and decided I would give it a try. Okay, three tries. Every time I go there for lunch or dinner, everything is excellent. We've decided to try everything once before we start again but I've ordered the peanut butter chicken twice and I'm not sorry. It's just so delicious read more

This is an outstanding local place for an authentic meal. They now also offer beer, wine, and sake. The last time we dined, the owner came out to our table and asked how everything was. Simply the best, newer, best kept secret in Lodi ! read more

What an unsuspected fabulous dinning find! I ate here a few days ago with my family and was surprised to find this place to be so delicious! I honestly though that in a little city like Lodi to offer such a true Japanese delight! I ordered the sashimi salad and the sashimi is so freah and absolutely amazing. I love the yellow sauce that this plate is garnished and decorated with. The roll my mom ordered (sorry but her order escapes my mind for the moment) was fresh and perfectly packed. I hate it when you pick up a roll with your chopsticks and it falls and breaks apart before it gets into your mouth. The service was quick (we came on a Saturday late lunch at 2:30 pm), prompt (my water glass was refilled quickly) and friendly. The place itself is fairly small, a lot of open space and clean (you want a place like this to be clean). I would definitely come back here the next time I am visiting my relatives. read more

Super friendly service and cheerful staff. Brought my kids here and they were SO accommodating. Would definitely recommend and return. :)

Yummy, fresh, good sized portions of sushi and other foods that are decently priced. I went on a Friday night around 630 pm in a party of 9. It's a small place, but we were there early enough to be seated promptly. Service was friendly, though it took a while for our food to come out (didn't mind because we were a large group, it was a busy time, and we were enjoying good company). I ordered the golden shrimp roll (fried shrimp, cucumber, avocado) and the regular dragon roll (shrimp tempura, avocado, eel). The dragon roll was awesome, the golden shrimp roll was a little plain, but good nonetheless. Will definitely be going back. I recommend it. read more

Amazing food omg try the peanut butter chicken as a appetizer!!! Service is great we always recommend to our friends! read more

Yume - Asparagus Sushi, Peanut butter chicken, Tonkatsu Spicy Ramen with black garlic - Japanese Near Me - Lodi, California

I'm not "upper class" so I'm a bit turned off by the higher sushi prices at Yume. However, all of the food taste good here. I have tried Yume with coworkers twice so far. The service is great too. read more

I've been here a few times & always had perfect service. The food was good, but not great. Then we came with a friend who frequents this place 2x or more a week, and what he ordered us, was simply the BEST sushi. One of the items that stand out were thin slices of peaches wrapped with smoked salmon. The fish was so fresh and the peaches just the right amount of crispness & sweetness, that it could easily pass as an appetizer or dessert. Another stand out appetizer was jumbo shrimp that was boiled and served along side a spicy jalapeño/lime sauce. Simple yet delicious. We also had sashimi of fatty tuna, scallops, salmon & a few other delicious items. Every piece of fish was exceptionally fresh & the right temp. Why the 4 stars? Well, out of everything I've had here, from the amazing Japanese pumpkin tempura to the high priced sashimi, I would say a few "simple" items are a bit overpriced. The Boiled Jumbo Shrimp for one, is waaaaaaaay overpriced. And We only received a teaspoon of the sauce in our to-go box. Thank God we ordered 2! I do love this place & chef Masa has an incredible way of pairing sashimi with flavors a regular sushi spot wouldn't think of. And we will continue to come here, but, I don't think I'll order my favorite appetizer as it's too expensive for what you receive. read more

Not the best but not the worst. We started with Edamame which was served cold (I prefer warm) and nothing special. We ordered the Tempura Roll, Spider Roll, and non-spicy Red Dragon Roll. Service was fast and friendly. Presentation was nice. We all agreed the Tempura Roll was our favorite. The others seemed to lack special flavor. read more

Yume - Japanese Near Me - Lodi, California

The ramen was meh... and the sushi rolls were so tiny. We also got tempura shrimp and that was good. The food is alright I just wish the portions were better for the price. It was $55 for 2 people and it was not a lot of food. read more

Totally incredible. I had the mixed sashimi plate, miso soup, crunchy rainbow roll, and my boyfriend had the spicy dragon roll. The sashimi was really really good, and that's a deciding factor for me in places like these. The only thing that would have made it better was if there were more pieces. I don't even know where to start with the miso soup.....It was killer. Usually, I'm not a huge fan of miso soup, but you get a good-sized bowl, it has really good, meaty flavor, the tofu is tasty and flavorful, and even the seaweed is good! My crunchy rainbow roll came out beautifully presented, with just the right amount of pieces. The sauce on the side was soooooo good, and every single item in the roll was fresh and delicious. My bf really enjoyed his roll as well, he was silently while eating and smiling happily, so there you go. read more

I would have to give this place a 3, it's great but it is still lacking in a couple of areas. Such as Presentation for one. I had the sashimi mix and I wish it was more appealing to look at as opposed to just the way it was presented. For 19 pieces it would have been better on a smaller plate with more garnish like flowers or lemon slices. The service was good, our waitress was very attentive and patient since I've had a lot of questions. Overall it's a cute place with some pretty good food. read more

Yume - Yum - Japanese Near Me - Lodi, California

We had been here once when first opened. It did not impress. We're sorry we waited so long to try it again. We started off the spicy Seared Tuna Salad. Very tasty with a generous amount of perfectly done tuna with sliced avocado and just the right amount of sesame oil dressing. The Spicy Red dragon was great. Simply not to fancy or saucy. The Spicy Crunchy Scallop roll is the best we have ever had. Not only did it have asparagus inside but the plate was adorned with spears to make it one of the most eye catching sushi roll we'd ever seen. $16.00. We'd eat two if we could. We have never had to wait for a table but we always go during the week. It's our go to sushi place now. read more

Yume - The Spicy Seared Tuna Salad - Japanese Near Me - Lodi, California

Being from the Bay Area, we didn't really know what to expect when venturing out for sushi in Lodi. Fellow Yelpers led us to Yume and we were pleasantly surprised. We went for lunch and were quickly seated. The restaurant was nice and clean and the service was very attentive. We ordered the oysters for appetizers. They were very good and piping hot. We then ordered Tekka Maki and a Spicy Tuna Roll. The tuna in both rolls were very fresh and delicious. Nice presentation as well. It's great to have found a good sushi restaurant in Lodi. We are looking forward to a return visit so that we can try more items on their menu. read more

Best service/sushi restaurant in Lodi. The fish is fresh and one is able to have refreshing sushi without all the sauces and frying.

4.5 Stars - Best Japanese in Lodi (I know...could be damning with faint praise, right?) My wife and I have been to Yume several times over the last few months, and every time we've thoroughly enjoyed it. The first time it was really hot outside (Aug 2011) and I asked the server if they would make tenzaru even though it wasn't on the menu. They did, and it was excellent. The owner/chef came out and asked me if I thought tenzaru would work as a regular menu item, and I suggested that he try it as a seasonal/occasional offering, perhaps on a table card during the summer. Since then,we've also had their mixed tempura, a variety of nigiri sushi (altho I have yet to sit at the small sushi bar), and a few other menu items, and everything has been quite good. In fact, the tempura is probably the best I've ever had, other than my own, and way less hassle! My only complaint, and this costs Yume half a star, is that the rice that accompanies the tempura dinner comes on the plate, not in a chawan. What's up with that? read more

Service: 5 Food: 4.5 The lomi lomi roll was very clean and simple. The crunch rainbow roll was absolutely delicious and flavorfull (lots of sauce). The portion size was a lot smaller than expected. Even though I am usually feeling satisfied after eating one roll, I found myself still hungry. Nevertheless, this sushi joint is great with fast service, and quality food. read more

I just ordered the spicy tuna roll and OMG!!!!!!! It was advertised on Facebook and was only $5!!!! I had seven amazing pieces and will return very soon!!! First time ever and it won't be my last!!!! read more
