I had an amazing experience at Yume Sushi. The quality of the fish is outstanding--everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they source special selections imported directly from Japan. What stood out to me was their unique variety of premium fish, including Ishidai (striped beakfish), Kinmedai, Madai, and Itoyori--items you don't often find at most sushi spots. Each one was expertly prepared and full of flavor. Some of my personal favorites were the hotate (scallops), chu-toro, wagyu beef, toro tartare, ishidai, and hamachi. Every bite was rich, clean, and perfectly balanced. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the Hokkaido uni during my visit, which was a bit disappointing--but honestly, everything else more than made up for it. Overall, this is a top-tier sushi experience without a crazy price tag, and I will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates high-quality, authentic Japanese seafood. read more

Makes me sad to write this review as the place has so many fantastic reviews. Probably the universe just doesn't want us to come here again. A year ago I got food poisoning from here and decided not to mention it - took me a year to come back and sadly had another low experience. This time the miso broth from the ramen was so watered down that the dish tasted like water with noodles. It was truly disappointing. When we told the server, the lack of accountability was even more disappointing. The server literally blamed the customer by saying another customer complained about it being too salty that's why they watered down. - sorry but that's not taking responsibility and instead putting the complaint back on the customer. It will be probably another year - if we ever come back. Truly breaks me as we live only two blocks from the place and were so excited about the possibility. read more

Chirashi Don- a good variety of fish. A couple of them were seared which were nice and gave a different flavor compared to most chirashi dons out there. The rice had furikake seasoning which was mildly spicy. Yuma Roll- lot of crunch in this roll with the crispy onions and soft shell crab. The seared salmon was nice too. Overall a lot flavor in the roll in each bite though it was hard to appreciate some of the subtle flavors with all the strong flavors. Overall a nice place in the neighborhood to get some sushi fix. They do have happy hour menu so maybe will come back to try it. Parking is street parking which wasn't too hard to find even on a Sat night. It was really quiet inside with just our table and another table there. read more

My favorite Asian cuisine is Japanese, hands down. The downside is, they tend to be more on the expensive side, but whenever I go it's such a treat. Located in a more residential pocket of Glen Park on Monterey Boulevard, the restaurant doesn't really stand out from the roadway, it's fairly nondescript. To me though, the unpretentious, unobtrusive nature of its facade is kind of alluring, almost like being part of a small club that knows a certain speakeasy of bygone days. What's more, it's not easy to find street parking in these parts, so it's a bit inconvenient. However, once you get past finding a parking spot and locating this place, this place is charming, if not intimate, and it has that Japanese vibe. The menu has ample offerings you'd find in any typical Japanese place, but I'm inclined to order their sushi rolls which tend to be generous and reasonably priced. During lunch and afternoons are my recommended hours as it's not crowded and guess what? Finding parking is easier. It's definitely a neighborhood spot and it's one of the reasons why I love San Francisco restaurants, small independently owned places, each with its own character and distinction. The food is good, reliably consistent and at least the times I've been there, the service is super fast. But then again, I go at non-peak hours. Good luck finding parking and enjoy your visit. read more

Perhaps this place was good at some point but it certainly is not now. We got the omakase on a Saturday, primetime, I would say I mildly liked 2 of the 10 pieces and the rest were bad. 2 were awful and tasted possibly spoiled. Even the toro was bad. This is the first time Ive ever left sushi on the plate during an omakase. Staff was also really rude. Honestly one of the worst sushi places I have ever been to. Despicable. read more

Amazing rare gem, a Japanese resturant on Monterey Blvd. Good food. Fresh ingredients. Great service. Quiet and low key. Clean.

$1 Happy Hour Oysters E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y! That IS all. Byeeeeee! ------ Not every review needs to be a dissertation but many reviews these days seem to be 1-2 liners. I want deets, don't you?! Are the oysters fresh? Are they sus lookin'? Did the eater get the hershey squirts? If you want the deets too... Yes, no, and no. Formerly K's Kitchen, Yume Sushi opened in December 2022...the grand opening sign is still up (not related to the defunct Yume in Alameda). They're open for takeout, delivery, and dine-in. No outdoor seating. What sets Yume apart from your local neighborhood sushi joint is $1 HH Oysters. Available everyday including weekends from 4:30 pm - 6 pm. I believe the only places in the city still offering $1 HH oysters are AtWater Tavern (everyday), Mission Rock Resort (weekdays only), and Pa'ina (Thursdays only). M E N U Japanese cuisine: Soup, salad, apps, yakitori, sashimi, nigiri, sushi rolls, ramen, donburi, etc. Beer and sake available. HH menu (changes regularly): https://tinyurl.com/ypa2hszc. You save up to $3 from the regular prices. F O O D Aside from two regular menu items, we ordered exclusively from the HH menu. * 1/2 Dozen Raw Oysters (Reg. $3.97 each/HH-$1 each) // 5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/3x8epeav --Limit 6 per person BEST item! The kumiai oysters were fresh with a sweet clean finish. Properly shucked and dressed with ponzu, tobiko, and scallions. I'm always iffy about ordering $1 oysters but these tasted great and were an awesome value. * Spicy Tuna Taco, 3 pc (Reg. $8.97/HH-$7) // 3 stars: https://tinyurl.com/mpvn4psm Minced tuna with a slice of avocado in a crispy fried wonton bowl. Basic, not spicy. * Hamachi Carpaccio, 5 pc (Reg. $9.97/HH-$9) // 4 stars: https://tinyurl.com/5n6xth9a Fresh slices of yellowtail sashimi over a bed of red onions, drizzled with tangy ponzu, and topped with jalapeno, tobiko, and scallions. Solid. * YAKITORI: https://tinyurl.com/bdfpxm2z --Burabuta: Pork Belly (Reg. $5.97/HH $5) // 4 stars Tender, juicy, and well-seasoned with crispy seared edges. --American Wagyu: (Reg. $7.97/HH $6) // 4 stars Rich and tender with a savory tare sauce (soy-based). --Beef Tongue ($6.97, not on HH menu) // 1 star Dry, tough, and hella salty. It also had a funky aftertaste like it was past its prime. * Mixed Tempura: 2 pc Shrimp & Veggies (Reg. $10.97/HH $9) // 2.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/3v4nhyyf More of a filler...the shrimp tempura batter was hard (more like ebi fry) while the veggie tempura batter was soggy. For veggies, you get kabocha, sweet purple potato, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli. * Hamachi Kama: Grilled Yellowtail Collar (Reg. $12.97/HH $10) // 4 stars: https://tinyurl.com/yc6dd2dh Moist and flaky with a crispy skin, served with a punchy ponzu sauce. Quite small but prolly just a small fish. * Sake Toro Nigiri, 2 pc (Reg. $9.97/HH $8) // 4 stars: https://tinyurl.com/4mfpua75 Slightly seared, the salmon belly is meltingly soft. Rice is soft and underseasoned but this isn't a $$$$ omakase joint so that's to be expected. * Chūtoro Nigiri, 2 pc (Reg. $10.97/HH $9) // 4 stars: https://tinyurl.com/mffvyjx2 Smooth and oh-so-buttery. Good deal, * White rice ($2.97/bowl) Filler to pair with the hamachi kama. S E R V I C E One server rocking the entire dining room herself and managing takeout/delivery orders. She was kind and efficient, and it was easy to get her attention. Prompt food service at 4:30 pm but they do get busier after 5 pm...peeps in the neighborhood trying to take advantage of the HH deals. A M B I A N C E Same vibe as K's Kitchen...casual and dark with barney purple walls. Small space with eight tables and four booths. P A R K I N G Easy residential street parking before 5 pm. Overall, come here for the $1 HH Oysters! Byeeeeee! read more

We discovered this place a couple of years ago when we were looking for a new sushi place to try, while also trying to support small business in our local San Francisco neighborhood. Since then it has absolutely become our favorite. It is consistently top flight in quality. There are also many interesting different fishes to try every time we come, which we've never tried before. The service is friendly and excellent, and it's never crowded. Highly recommended. read more

I love this restaurant, what a great local spot. All of the fish was incredibly fresh, the prices were very reasonable, and the staff and service were friendly and very attentive. We ordered the carpaccio, sushi combo, onigiri, butabara, and negihama roll. Everything was very delicious, well balanced, and melted like butter. Definitely looking forward to returning and trying more of the menu. read more

Your basic neighborhood Japanese joint. Lovely staff, pleasant dining room, great location if you're in the neighborhood. But the food is just ok. Miso soup was a bit thin (more miso please!) Agedashi tofu was nice, but the sauce was also a little lacking in flavor. Veggie sushi roll was the best item. Tasty and well fried veggies. Spicy tuna roll was your standard version. Yellowtail roll was not great. Fish was cut in such a way that it was sinewy and chewy instead of buttery soft. Chicken yakitori skewers were nice. So overall it was fine but small details could have made it so much more enjoyable. I think the Yelpers have overrated this place. read more

The fish here is divine! We usually go on weeknights when it's slow as there's only one server.

I've been going here since this place was called K's Kitchen. It had a brief run of management where the fish was too thinly sliced, but the new owners have fixed that. The prices increased only slightly during covid which is amazing since seafood prices have gone up at most other places. I often order the Chirashi Bowl which comes with multiple thick slices, however the rolls are some of the best around. Especially the Dynamite Roll which is deep fried and deliciously warm and spicy. Love the 49ers roll with thinly sliced lemons on-top of salmon. Great place for a date as it's typically very quiet with high-backed booths so you get some privacy lacking in most places. read more

Went there at 5:57 and they still let us order from happy hour menu. Volcano roll was the best thing. Price is very good if you are ordering from happy hour menu. A bunch of rolls were under $10. The fish in the sushi was very fresh, but some of the sushi toppings such as garlic chips tasted a bit stale. Would avoid yume roll for that reason. Normally would rate this place 5 stars as the flavor good, and fish was super fresh. read more

We really loved dining at "Yume Sushi".! From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was very well handled. I appreciate the staff for putting together such a good experience. We're already looking forward to our next visit. We've been to many similar restaurants, but this one truly stands out - our new fave Japanese food spot - especially since it's only a few short blocks walk from our house in Westwood Park. The attention to detail, ambiance and commitment to guest service set it apart from the rest. read more

Very good Japanese food, excellent service, love the booths, good for a large group, quiet for conversations.

This place was amazing. Service was fantastic, granted it was Sunday evening. The sushi was sooooo good. We ended up ordering more just to make sure. Highly recommend. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by for some amazing food. read more

This place is so delicious. My husband and I end up here on a monthly basis to celebrate small victories. Tonight I was reminded once again of how high the caliber of food here is. The menu is diverse, but not overwhelming. The food is prepared with obvious care and the chef is consistent in his technique and tastes. Sadly, for a Friday night, we were once again the only diners in the house. It is strange to me how deserted this place is for how good the food is. Unfortunately I think that is most likely due to the lack of foot traffic and that it's off a commercial corridor. I can think of at least 4 sushi places within a mile of this place that pale in comparison to what the chef is doing here, and yet they are constantly busy. I have not had a bad meal here in the past year I've been coming here. The waitress is always pleasant and out going. She seems to know all the regulars and is always in a good mood. I am pleased that this restaurant has survived for the last year, and for my own selfish purposes, I hope they continue to do well enough that they survive. If you live anywhere between Glen park and West Portal and Ingleside to Miraloma park, I highly recommend taking a nice walk and checking this place out. Thank you for another delicious meal! read more

Wonderful neighborhood spot we come every other week. They make a special roll for my super picky kid without hesitation. Very kind, welcoming, attentive. Food is always great. We usually sit at the bar and watch the chef do his thing-- he's fast and super cleanly. What more ambiance do you need than nice neighbors, good food, and great service? read more

It's the perfect neighborhood sushi restaurant! We've been coming here for over a year, my girlfriend is vegan and there so many options for here. Excellent happy hour, attentive but not intrusive service, fresh fish and all for very reasonable prices. Highlights include the glass jelly roll, chefs sushi combo and virtually all the nigiri/sashimi. Take out is also very convenient. There are some very reasonably priced sake but also higher end. Can't say enough great things about this gem, go check it out! read more

I feel so lucky that this place opened up. The sushi is good and fresh, the menu items varied, and there's even a happy hour menu. The service is attentive and great, oh and I mention that these prices are not exorbitant like anywhere else in SF. If you are a sake lover, then you will be in for a treat. We tried the pineapple nigori on one occasion with the cutest little glasses, and the yumeakari which is exactly as described - dry with a sweet dreamy finish. The chef has personally tasted all the sakes and want to share the best. Yum. Treat yourself to a delicious lunch or dinner that will perk up your spirits. Even better come in person and enjoy the cute Japanese kawaii culture inspired decor. Best of all support local small businesses and walk away happy and full. read more

Service was incredible! We loved the Cherry Blossom Roll, and I would highly recommend the Golden Shrimp Balls! Don't forget the Sake Bombs!

Love coming to this family favorite! Whether it's for a cozy Tonkatsu ramen bowl or sashimi, the food is excellent.

Updating this. Shortly after writing the initial review, we made another lunch visit and were surprised with a super secret menu item: chopped fresh wasabi. Not sure if this was in reaction to the suggestion for non powdered wasabi, but it was pleasant! The chirashi don was spectacular. Keep at it, Yume! read more

Stay away!! This is not even close to K's kitchen. Small portions and overpriced for what you get. Horrible sushi. Flavorless rolls. Someone needs to teach them how to make proper sushi and add some fish in them before they go back to the customer. We went here to relay to local friends how this place was and I'm telling them the same thing. Go somewhere else for sushi. We had better 10x sushi in Mexico! read more

I stopped in here for a quick lunch and wasn't disappointed. The sushi is fresh and the nigiri delicious. I had Sushi Combo with California roll, not very adventurous to be sure but I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sushi. Even the California roll was fresh, not the premade compact log that often passes for California roll. The miso soup was very good and on a whim I tried the Agedashi Tofu. It was very good. The prices are a bit above average but the quality of the sushi makes it worth your while. They have happy hour with $1.00 oysters. There's a limit of 6 per person but I know at least two people who don't usually eat them.... It could be good! Check it out. Friendly servers and clean environment. Ambiance is relaxed and soothing with very low jazz and soft lighting. read more

I am so excited for this new restaurant and hope they will do as well as their predecessor K's Kitchen. I went there tonight for the first time and the sushi was great. They do need to work out some things operationally as I think they only had two employees running the whole show. I am confident that they will figure it out and will be a great addition to the neighborhood read more
