Our first time EVER trying this place for dinner was yesterday. my fiancé ordered a California roll, and habachi chicken & Steak combo. I had the Habachi Shrimp & Scallops. randomly near the end of the meal I told her I felt like I was about to puke for a second, but the feeling went away after finishing my water. fast forward to this review: my fiancé has been sick from food poisoning, puking periodically throughout the night, and is still to this moment upon me writing this review. To be safe, we will not ever be coming back to this place again. Not sure if it was the noodles or rice (the only thing her and I had in common on our plates) but thankfully my stomach was able to handle it while actively there. read more

Yume has got to be one of my favorite spots for hibachi. The food is always delicious and you definitely get a bang for your buck when ordering. I love that for the dinner menu they give you noodles AND fried rice, generous amounts of veggies and meat! I always order takeout but the service has always been great when it's time to pick up. Definitely give them a try if you're ever around. read more

Yume - Chicken and shrimp hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Unionville, Connecticut

I am a bit of a food snob, & the menu was worded crudely, so I wasn't sure what to think. However, I was pleasantly suprised. We ordered a seafood roll, a fancy roll & a sweet potato roll & split them. All 3 were good, but the Seafood roll was my favorite. My companion preferred the Fancy roll & we both enjoyed the sweet potato. Our waitress Grace was a pip! She is a fashion design student & spoke perfect English, just very very fast. She is a gem. I would definately recommend it & return myself. read more

Pulled in on this Tuesday afternoon to an empty parking space right in front of the place. Went inside around 12:30, and the place was slow. What happened? Years ago I came in here and this was the place to be. It was jamming. It was packed, it was hopping! I ordered a martini and a number 13 lunchbox, along with the Philadelphia roll. The miso soup was delicious that came with the lunch. My number three lunchbox also consisted of seaweed salad, a crab salad, a shrimp roll, three hand rolls that were salmon, squid (I think) , and tuna. Also accompanying this dish was sticky rice with a crunchy topping. I also ordered a Philadelphia roll, which had the cream cheese in it, because I hadn't had one in a long time and just had to try it The number 13 lunchbox for $15 was totally worth the money. It was delicious and served quickly, I liked the Philadelphia roll, even though I'm no big fan of cream cheese on rolls. The pomegranate martini was solid. Oh my God I could sit here all day Good. This was a great experience, and reasonably priced. This place is handicap accessible all the way around, including ramps and bathroom. I look forward to returning here. I'm just surprised that it wasn't busier than it was because this place is really good. So if you're in the Unionville area, and looking to go to lunch, consider this place. read more

Excellent service and food. Definitely recommend this place for quick simple meal. Sushi was fresh

Takeout review: I was celebrating my birthday and I was craving sushi. My husband and I had takeout from here and the sushi was fresh and delicious. We ordered online and pickup was easy. We ordered nine rolls; yes, we love sushi and we can eat! The prices were comparable to other sushi restaurants. I can't remember all the rolls names but here were a few I do remember: Philadelphia Roll Spicy tuna roll Spicy salmon roll Eel avocado roll Shrimp tempura roll Again, all tasted fresh and I liked all nine that I've tried. I will definitely order from them again! read more

I don't like to paste a mediocre review, but... Food last night was fine. However, the woman who is apparently the manager freaked us out. VERY intense. Our server was new and WONDERFUL (as in 25% tip worthy great). But her boss? was hovering over her and marching around the place looking very stern. Someone needs to tell that person to up her meds. She made dinner very uncomfortable. read more

The sushi at Yume is fantastic. We highly recommend the Phoenix roll. But what makes Yume exceptional is the service! We love Pat! She is so much fun and always makes our experience at the restaurant extra special! Thanks, Pat! read more

Yume - Our leftovers! - Japanese Near Me - Unionville, Connecticut

Dining at Yume is like going to Tokyo without crossing the Pacific. Of course we've enjoyed the Hibachi tables numerous times but Yume continues to glow when you peel off that layer. The fish is showcased as you walk to your table. The colors just scream "fresh" and every mouthful seals the deal. I like having a little bit of the Orient in the neighborhood. read more

So amazing best around! I love them! These guys have been best hibachi around! So amazing!

Always great food and staff are super nice! Favorites include chicken fried rice, chicken teriyaki dinner, gyozas, and sushi!

One of the best sushi restaurants in the greater Hartford area. The service is friendly and accommodating and importantly the sushi is fresh and, unlike many American sushi restaurants, not too moist. Love this place. read more

Growing up in the Farmington Valley in the 1970s...Unionville was kind of run down. Friendly Pizza (Greek pizza), Ryan Pharmacy, and a Friendly's really... it's a bit more hip out of the Myrtle Mills era. My late Dad would come eat lunch at Yume after fly fishing...and in honor of him I continue to visit Yume w Mom when I get back to Connecticut. Very fresh sushi.. there is also the hibachi theatrics for those craving the onion volcano (I don't know how to tell these folks that they are late to the party... this was popular 50 years ago at Benihana...). There is also a cocktail lounge on the other side.. Staff is not Japanese but this is a non-issue...the sushi is fresh which is the most important thing...pleasant people too who run it. read more

So last week, I went to a national chain for hibatchi and it was fine but missing that charm that Yume has. The Hibatchi really is top shelf here and has everything you want if you want hibatchi. Good portions. Noodles and rice included. Lots of veggies. Two shrimp. Sake squirted into your mouth. Catching flying squash in your mouth too. It was entertaining but the food was quite good too. It's easy to take this place for granted but teens love this place and they did a really nice job for a birthday group. read more

We have been going Yume since it opened in 2010. We used to love it and it was one of our "go-to" places. Sadly both the food and service have gone down hill. Over the last year, items have been missing from our carryout orders. Back in the day, the owner always made it right with a commensurate credit. The last two times items were missing, there was no apology or appropriate follow-up and a nominal credit. Tonight's order also included a Rainbow Roll that fell apart. :( read more

A lot of what other customers have commented here we experienced as well. Ok food, rather flavorless. And bad service. Really bad. We arrived to celebrate our children's' multi-year work towards achieving their black belts. They came in the restaurant flush with happiness at their achievement. Our youngest was really excited to see "the onion train" and get the full experience of the hibachi table. First we were told that we couldn't sit at the hibachi table because we didn't make a reservation. They sat us at a booth. Two of the cooking tables sat empty. We asked the staff if we could possibly switch to hibachi because the kids were celebrating and looking forward to this at the end of the day. They conferred, and one of the women agreed and pointed us to a table in the back. On one side of the table was a party of ten. On the other half, were the four of us. When the waitress arrived, she took our orders and disappeared. After our drinks & appetizers came, it all went downhill. After about fifteen minutes, it was obvious that the chef had no plans to actually cook at our table. The performance, the table excitement, all that was taking place across at the other table. For us, the chef dropped all the dirty dishes and scraps from the main surface and kept his back to us the entire time. The kids watched as he lit the cooking surface on fire, did the onion train, and all the other exciting things for the other people. My youngest asked, "When is he going to do anything for us? Why do we have trash on our table?" The chef turned around periodically to give us food that he was cooking on the other table, but that was pretty much it. We approached one of the younger waitresses with blue hair and told her what was going on. She said, "Sorry, but there's nothing we can do." I asked her if she really believed there was nothing that could be done. She repeated the sentence. Eventually after flagging down our waitress several times unsuccessfully, we caught her eye as she was joking with the next table. We explained the situation and she said that she could understand, but we didn't have a reservation. I couldn't understand what that had to do with the situation at hand. My wife asked if it was a problem, why not tell the customers upfront rather than have them start their meal only to realize you'd be neglected the whole time? At this point, a guy came by to clear our plates and offer us to-go containers. He left a bag of trash next to us on overflow chairs. The waitress offered us tempura ice cream, which the kids accepted, but still said they wished we didn't have the "trash table". Seeing the bag of trash next to us, I thought it was a pretty fitting description. Any good restaurant would never do this, or if they did, would offer to comp the meal to some extent. Had we known the night would turn out this way, we probably would have stayed in the booth and called it a night. Since we didn't, we were left with a hefty three digit bill for our night and trouble. 2 stars for one waitress who noticed our empty glasses and took the effort to bring us water, and another for the halfhearted recognition of the issue after the fact. read more

Definitely the best sushi in the area. I've been bringing the family here for almost ten years, never a bad meal.

Gave it a second try and had really excellent service. Sushi was still quite good! A very good option here in Unionville.

Amazing hibachi!! Love coming here. Great atmosphere and food is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. Staff is great.

Very disappointed. Sat down for over 20 minutes and didn't even get offered water. Not good service. This isn't the first time I had service issues... This time I got up and walked out without even getting water. read more

Firstly, Yume Hibachi Steak and Sushi ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the modern decor and warm lighting that created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant was immaculately clean, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The the mushroom soup and house salad are both outstanding starters that are sure to whet your appetite and set the tone for a delicious meal. The mushroom soup is a rich and flavorful soup made with fresh mushrooms and a creamy broth. It has a savory and earthy taste that is perfectly balanced by the creaminess of the soup. The house salad is a simple and refreshing mix of vegetables. The greens are fresh and crisp, and the dressing is light and tangy, providing the perfect balance of flavors. The star of the show, of course, is the steak and salmon. Both are cooked to perfection, with a slightly crispy exterior and a tender and juicy interior. The steak is seasoned just right, with a perfect balance of salt and pepper, while the salmon is flaky and flavorful. But it's not just the food that makes this meal so enjoyable. David, our chef for the evening, was a delight to watch as he cooked our meal right in front of us. He had a great personality and was very entertaining, putting on a show as he tossed shrimp tails and sliced vegetables with incredible speed and precision. The Hibachi #9 Filet Mignon with Scallops at Yume is a truly decadent and delicious dish that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of taste buds. This dish consists of a tender and juicy filet mignon, grilled to perfection and served alongside succulent scallops. As with all hibachi dishes at Yume, the meal is prepared right in front of you, adding an element of excitement and entertainment to your dining experience. David was skilled and entertaining, expertly slicing and dicing the ingredients with precision and flair. The phoenix roll had a combination of the tempura shrimp and avocado providing a creamy and crunchy texture that is balanced by the spicy tuna and taro on top. The tempura batter on the shrimp also adds a crispy texture that complements the softness of the avocado. The spicy tuna provides a slight kick of heat, which is offset by the taro, a starchy vegetable that adds a slightly sweet and nutty flavor to the roll. Phoenix Roll is a delicious and satisfying sushi roll that combines different textures and flavors to create a unique and flavorful dish. It is a great option for those who enjoy a little bit of heat in their food and are looking for something different than the classic sushi rolls. If you are a fan of sushi, or just looking to try something new, the Phoenix Roll at Yume is definitely worth a try. The Tiger Roll at Yume is a fantastic sushi roll that is sure to satisfy any sushi lover's cravings. This roll is made with avocado on the inside, which is then topped with a variety of fresh and delicious seafood, including salmon, white tuna, yellowtail, and eel. To finish off the roll, it is topped with black and white fish roe and a chef special sauce. The combination of the creamy avocado and fresh seafood is truly mouth watering, with each bite offering a burst of flavor and texture. The salmon, white tuna, yellowtail, and eel are all exceptionally fresh and of high quality, making the roll even more enjoyable to eat. Finally, I have to mention the drinks. Yume has an impressive selection of cocktails, beer, and wine. For dessert the Fried Ice Cream with Green Tea at Yume is a truly unique and delicious dessert that is a must try for anyone dining at the restaurant. The result is a crispy, crunchy exterior that gives way to a creamy, cold center. The green tea flavor is subtle, adding a deliciously earthy and slightly bitter note that pairs perfectly with the sweet vanilla ice cream. The dessert is served with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a dollop of whipped cream, adding an extra element of sweetness and creaminess to the dish. Chocolate Lava Cake at Yume is an absolutely divine dessert that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of sweet tooths. This moist and decadent cake is filled with a rich and delicious dark chocolate truffle that melts out as soon as you cut into it, creating a molten center that is both sweet and savory. The cake itself is perfectly moist, with a rich and deep chocolate flavor that is perfectly complemented by the creamy truffle filling. The contrast between the warm, gooey center and the fluffy exterior creates a truly delightful combination of textures that is sure to please. Overall, I highly recommend Yume Hibachi Steak and Sushi. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is inviting, and the service is top notch. If you're looking for a great Japanese restaurant in Avon, this is definitely the place to go, especially happy hour. They also have 10% off online orders Sunday-Thursday. Definitely visiting again. read more

Yume is our local go to for quick sushi/dinner. The location has ample seating and also does carry out. I feel like the menu is very vast- so many options. I had the chicken & salmon teriyaki dinner box. Yum!!! The Miso soup is just ok. Not the best I have ever had. The house salad is great- cold iceberg lettuce and ample dressing. The shumai was so good. Nice and crispy I didn't want to share with my date! The California roll was very fresh and delicious. The fried rice was also good and not too much. The chicken was a very thin breast. It was just ok. The salmon was better, in my opinion. My date has the sushi/sashimi for one. I had to sample for the sake of this review! It was delicious and such a beautiful presentation. He also enjoyed a Japanese beer which was so good! We'll be back soon! read more

I barely ever leave negative review but I actually feel so scammed I feel obliged to... I got beef negimaki and the ratio of beef to scallion was way off. All the negimaki I've ever seen/had has been a strip of meat (either chicken or beef) rolled into a cylinder shape, with a little bit of scallion in the middle. The negimaki I got from Yume was a giant ball of scallion with a tiny sliver of meat around the outside. The scallion is supposed to garnish the meat, not the other way around. Payed 22 bucks to eat lumps of green onion for dinner :( Not my first time being let down by this place either, I should've known better than to go back but it's so close I just figured I'd give them another chance. Huge mistake. read more

Yume - Beef Negimaki - Japanese Near Me - Unionville, Connecticut

Fairly average Japanese food in the Farmington valley. Ordered the other day with my parents - the three of us shared a beef teriyaki lunch box and a chicken hibachi lunch special. Total was around $22 or so. Both came with some veggies and the beef teriyaki came with a few pieces of a California roll and shumai. We had miso soup and mushroom soup with our orders as well. Everything was fine but underwhelming. The chicken in the hibachi and the beef in the teriyaki was good, along with the dipping sauces that they provided, but many elements were just average. The veggies were bland with what was clearly jarred sauce. The California roll was unimpressive, the salad was wet, and the soup was flavorless. With that said, it was a decent amount of edible food for the price we paid. I wouldn't come running back by any means, but it was fine for a quick and inexpensive lunch. read more

i have to remove 2 stars because unfortunately my last order was mistaken for a philly roll instead of an alaska roll. during that time i also had to wait an extra half an hour after the 20 minutes in which they said it would be finished. it would be nice if they gave me a better time estimate. read more

Ordered online for a pickup of 25 minutes out. 1hr 20mins later no food. Poor excuses from the front end. People dining in claimed almost 2hrs to get their food. Totally unacceptable and after all that some of items were overcooked and undercooked. Last time we order here and it's the closest restaurant of this kind to our house. read more
