Great food with a Japanese dishes not offered in other sushi restaurants. Soft shells were perfect and not breaded like others. Tako su was perfect with sweet vinegar. read more

If you enjoy sushi, this is a fantastic place in the Scranton area to get your sushi or sashimi fix. I typically like to order a plate with both sushi and sashimi which is what I ordered here. Although I will occasionally eat at a sushi bar, which they do have, I prefer a table. The server was very attendant and friendly. The fish was amazingly fresh especially considering where we live. My favorite was the white tuna which I had for both sushi and sashimi. The rolls were very nice as well. If you like sushi, you will probably enjoy it here. read more

Yume - My lunch today. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

5 Stars for a place we've never actually sat in. Pretty impressive. This place is located on Keyser Ave in between want seems to be a small fruit farm/vegetable and a deli. Hard to spot since their tinted windows look closed. but if you see their sign upon driving into the parking lot, you should know you're in the right place. Since we've only ordered take-out, we can't speak to the interior of the restaurant or the warmness of the staff. However, we can say with certainty that the sushi here is excellent. Not once has there been an issue with our takeout order. And everytime the sushi has been delicious! We've tried many rolls, from basic to specialty, and they've all been tasty and fresh. One of our favorites that we get every time is the sweet potato roll. That is amazing - crispy, tasty and healthy. It never misses. The prices are reasonable but can rack up quickly (as for all sushi places) so don't expect to get full without spending over $20 on one individual. With that said, the specialty rolls are generally heavier and can be satisfying/filling if you're missing some calories for the day. Overall, the sushi here is excellent and we've never had an issue. Defintiely recommend as other sushi places in Scranton are a hit or miss. Now that they're open for indoor dining, we definitely have to give that a try...and we'll be back for an update. read more

Delicious each and every time we have been here. I highly recommend this place! Sashimi wonderful, salads great, all around a keeper.

Sushi is vinegar rice, like pizza, put on it what you will it is sushi...or pizza. So the basis is the vinegar rice, Eric make his own vinegar, so it is the best rice ever. Add the freshest fish, quality ingredients and you have the best sushi. Everyone says" sushi in Scranton?" I say yes!! I travel extensively. NYC, LA, SF and I have never had better sushi...ever read more

Came in for lunch and opted for the miso soup and seasweed salad to start. Soup was very good and the salad was served over sliced cucumbers which helped make it a bit more substantial than other versions I have had. I selected the toro tartar and hamachi jalepeno appetizers for my mains. The hamachi was possibly one of the best presented and tastiest versions of this that I have had. Very flovorful and filled with umami undertones. The tartar had a bit too much wasabi for me even after mixing in the quail egg and the undressed tuna. Nice decor, albeit a bit dim, and the service was friendly. read more

Very good food. Clean dinning area. Clean bathrooms. Was and overall good experience for PA.

Yume not only has a cute name but their food is delicious and you won't leave hungry. The people who work at Yume are pleasant and helpful. Service is quick and efficient. Enjoy! read more

I enjoyed my assorted sashimi sampler and mango tango sushi roll tonight. I thought the service were exceptional. To me the place is in the middle of no where but then I don't live in the area. The restaurant has a trendy, upscale, nightlife feel with upbeat music to it. I think it's perfect for small group to hang out and chill. Although I was there alone and enjoyed it just as much. I would definitely go back for their $5 martini happy hour and more sushi. Hopefully not alone. I can't believe they have good sashimi and sushi in Scranton. read more

This is a regular stop for us, maybe once a month. Food is very good, atmosphere is upscale. Service used to be nicer, that has cooled a bit over the last half year or so, but still friendly. Worth the trip, for sure. read more

Sushi at its best in this area. First time there got two roll lunch & an order of white tuna sushi. Yum perfect rice, perfect balance and fresh beautiful fish. Can't wait to go back and get more. Only downfall was they don't have a salad option with the lunch specials. Gladly had the miso soup on a bitter cold day and it was as good as it gets. read more

Yume - 2 roll lunch and amazing white tuna! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

What a gem! We just happened to pass through Scranton at lunch time and spotted this place. Don't be fooled by the darkened windows and think it is closed. We almost missed it. Inside it is very modern with great lighting styles. Extremely clean and appealing layout inside. Then came the food. Delicious is how we described each dish, soup, sushi, tempura, and all items. The worst part is we live out of state so can't return too often. On top of that the service was good. Hard to beat this combination. read more

Fabulous sushi! It's fresh and flavorful. The hibachi is not my favorite or as plentiful as the places where it's cooked right in front of you. read more

Jalapeño tuna and ginger yellow fish appetizers are exquisite. The flavors are beautifully blended in every roll or dish! Eric's own vinegar flavors his rice, and his attention to detail makes Yume stand out in his corner of PA! read more

Delicious sushi and awesome service. The decor is pretty cool also but you wouldn't think it looked the way it does from the outside. Can't wait to go back read more

Just great. I stopped shortly but I'm glad I did! One of the best sushi I ever had. Fish is fresh and the place is very nice: good vibes! Definitely go back (hopefully soon!) read more

We've been you Yume 3 times in the last 2 months, or so. This last time around, I was kind of dragged in by my wife. I wasn't overly impressed with our first two visits, though the sushi itself had been quite good. The sushi: 4 stars for the sushi on its own. The rolls have all been very good. A couple are pretty small for the price, and I left hungry on our fist visit. Knowing that, I ordered a bit more on the next two visits. Overall, in terms of value, I'd say they fall a bit short of their local competition. You get equally fresh sushi in larger portions at Blu Wasabi for about the same tab, but the sushi at Yume is delicious, nonetheless. (Some plates come with battery operated, blinking decorations and they should be thrown in the trash ASAP.) The service: Though friendly, the service has been a bit slow all three times. For me, it's always most noticeable when A) you wait to see a server for the first time and get your drink order in, B) when you close your menu and it takes a while until someone comes around to take your order or C) when you've asked for the check and there's a delay settling up. They seem a little bit slow in all of these areas, but that can be fixed relatively easily. The atmosphere: The restaurant is newly redone in a way that's kind of trendy for NEPA. There's not much to the decor that's particularly interesting, and it seemed kind of bland and unfinished to me on a night when the place was sparsely filled. That said, it's freshly redone and clean. The soundtrack is a mix of songwriters, mostly from the 70's and 80's, such as The Eagles, Carol King and Jackson Browne. Good music that's soft enough that you can carry on a conversation, though you can also hear most of the others in the room. That quality makes the place feel kind of flat when the crowd thins out. I'm still on the fence: Not ready to write them off and not too excited to go back here, either. No doubt I'll be back, though, because my wife seems to like it here. read more

-Not one Asian customer in an Asian restaurant. -Sushi deluxe came with an illuminating plastic lotus flower that changes color. -Rice was slightly undercooked. -Inside dim ambiance felt like a modern day bowling alley. -Nothing authentically Japanese about quality of food, service nor ambiance. -2 stars total: (1/not getting sick) + (1/waitresses were nice) read more

We came here for sushi and it was tasty! Fish tasted fresh, service was good and place was nice and clean, definitely will be returning back here again. I would recommend this place for a nice dinner with a group of friends or just dinner for 2. Food presentation was also very nice. read more

Sushi was prepared very well and the ambiance makes you feel like you're not in PA (thank God). The staff was attentive and gave great advice on food options. A little odd that they charge for each soft drink and don't offer free refills but other than that, I would totally go back!!! read more

Yume - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

I'm not sure why people are commenting on how decent the quality of the sushi is. I will never go back to Yume and here's why.... I had high hopes for Yume at first, considering the reviews indicated that the quality of the sushi was great. For the most part, the quality of the sushi was decent, but then I ate the Uni. The Uni tasted like it had been sitting in a dirty fish tank for 3 weeks. It was absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. Every sushi restaurant should test the quality of their sushi before they serve it, not only to make sure it tastes good, but also to make sure it's safe to serve. Nothing is worse than getting sick from bad sushi, and to be honest, I was very worried that was going to happen in this case. Thankfully it did not, however, I could not eat sushi for at least a month after that. read more

I was skeptical of getting good asian food in Scranton. I had tried Osaka and Panda something in the past and was less than impressed while others raved about the quality. At the recommendation of the front desk clerk at my hotel, I tried Yume. The place recently opened, and when I arrived, there were only two other tabels there. I am not really a sushi expert. In fact, I am really a wimp when it comes to trying new rolls. In admitting that fact, I ordered a simple King Crab Roll. I really only ordered it becasue ya know, when in Rome... :-) It was very good! I paired the sushi with the warm Sake...yum! For my meal, I had the chicken Yakisoba noodles. Deducting 1 star because while very good, there is no way it was worth $23. Service was attentive and I received my food quickly. Overall, a very good dining experience. I would go back if in the area, and choose another meal option. read more

I wasn't sure about yume- I must have driven past it a dozen time before finally deciding to give it a try. I think it is a fun place and the sushi was great. Probably the freshest sushi rice I have ever had. I had a green dragon and orange salmon roll- both were perfect. The staff was great- super friendly and polite. I will definitely come in again. read more

The first time was great. Sushi quantity was alot and hibachi was tasteful. Second time my boyfriend ordered and mistakenly got miso soup instead of onion. I called back right away to see if they could replace it,due to allergy disorder. I paid over $33, both orders separately. Because 30 is the minimum to deliver to old forge? I AM 7 MINS FROM RESTAURANT!! she said sorry thats your mistake. We cannot come back for one item. I said if you are doing another delivery nearby still insisted they couldn't. Plenty of other hibachi places im excited to show to my significant other. read more

The freshest fish, the best quality, beautiful presentation, very friendly people. Can't ask for more than that in a sushi place. And the roadwork on Keyser Ave is no longer a problem so get out there and try this fantastic place! I'm so glad I finally did!! read more

Wanted Hibachi and didn't want to sit with 8 other people that we don't know, so we went here. The sushi was delicious. The soup was really good, the salad ok. My husband & I both got Steak & shrimp. First off, it was cold. But not the server's fault, since she answers the phone, does takeout, is the bartender & is the ONLY waitress. She is awesome but come on. How about another person!!!! 2nd, the steak was so though that neither of us could eat it. I mean really, it was choke tough! I would definitely go back there but would recommend that you do not get the steak lol & 3 stars because of the server. She really was good. But they really need another person. read more

Food is always fresh and consistent. Service is great. I would give them 5 stars if it didn't take so long to get your food. The only draw back is they only have one Sushi Chef. His food is amazing but you do have to wait a bit but be patient cause it's so worth it. It's a must try! read more

Just moved from philly, searching for a good sushi place! We found it here. Service was friendly., entrees where appropriately timed. Would recommend! read more

If this restaurant were in Tokyo, Manhattan, or Paris, I would have given it 4 stars. However, in our area the sushi here is unmatched against the likes of Pearl, Kyoto, Avocado, and even Desaki in Tannersville. Upon entering the doorway into the restaurant, I was enticed to see how "retro-modern" the place looked, from the lighting to the furniture. The bar is expansive. I was beginning to think "is this the beginning of trendy food fare in NEPA?!" Anyway, I was promptly greeted and seated (at the sushi bar). The owner/sushi chef Eric greeted me and recognized me from Kyoto in the years past. Their regular menu is quite extensive, but I was all about sushi that night. A good selection of drinks are available as well, including sake (hot/cold) and Japanese beer. The sushi list was very large, and it was refreshing to see an inventive twist to the Special Roll category, too many places offer Dragon Rolls and Rainbow Rolls anymore. I started my first plate with nigiri. Eric let me know they were all out of Spanish Mackeral and he would make up for it by giving me 2 pieces of Albacore on the house, thanks Eric. In the end, I had a plate filled with eel, white tuna, yellowfin tuna, albacore tuna, pacific salmon, live scallop, and pacific mackeral. The artistry and precision of both the plate decor and fish presentation was spectacular. Mackeral isn't too popular, however some like it including me, and I was pleasantly surprised when he added his own twist of a hint of lemon wedge and diced scallion on the top of the fish. A few other selections of mine received special treatment of their own. It's also worth noting Eric applies varying quantities of wasabi to each piece of nigiri based on the fish, this is something I've only experience in Manhattan. I contemplated a second round of sushi, and in the end I gave in to the wonderful selection, as I had never even seen anything like this anywhere else around our area. I ended up with a Volcano Roll (not your typical volcano roll, people) and a Dynamite Roll (again with his own inventive twist.) Volcano roll came with black roe on top, freshly chopped jalapeno, spicy tuna and salmon in the roll, and topped with a special sauce with a spicy concoction of some other type of fish, I'm sorry I forget. Result: Fantastic. Dynamite roll was extremely oversized, using a very different type of wrapping paper, not soy or nori. He then used a blowtorch to accent the sesame seeds and everything else that went into it. Simply amazing. Other special rolls on the top of my head are a deep fried unagi roll (on the list for next time) and another "roll" which is tuna tartare with other things "forgive my memory" but the unique thing is they are served on Tostidos Scoop Chips. How about that! In closing, if you are looking forward to a Japanese Grill/Sushi Night, please check out YUME. It recently opened, and I wish Eric the best of luck, I will definitely be coming here often. There are no hibachi tables here. And if the price turns you off, all I can say is you get what you pay for. Total meal for me including drinks was roughly $60 plus tip.. read more
