rose tteokbokki
Therese A.

I guess it wasn't surprising that I enjoyed the rose tteokbokki and katsu since I like both of those things-- especially satisfied by the contrast between crunch and bouncy! Sauce was a smooth consistency, food came out quickly after ordering off the tablet at the table. Service was kind and it was a smaller place but no line on a Friday evening at 6:30 PM. The plaza is very popular and has a lot of different foods, so the only downside would be difficulty parking but otherwise really enjoyed the katsu. I haven't tried any of the other Yumee Katsu establishments so nothing to compare to, but I would go back again!

Chicken katsu
Michelle N.

Pretty good Korean katsu place in the neighborhood. Feels like a good casual neighborhood spot to grab a meal since it is quite cozy inside with inviting decor. The katsu we tried, chicken and pork, were crispy and tender, but not as juicy as other katsu we've had before. Still good though. I wasn't a fan of the shrimp katsu since it was over-breaded and very little shrimp. On previous occasions we went, we thought the dipping sauce portion was really skimpy, so I hope that will change. I also would've preferred the salad dressing to be more tart to refresh my palate in between bites of katsu because it was more like a sweet citrus dressing rather than a vinaigrette. Overall, pretty good katsu spot in the neighborhood that also offers curry, noodles, and rice cakes.

Parking can be hit or miss depending on time of arrival but if you park far enough, You'll find parking in this plan. Very very clean inside. Staffs were very attentive. Love the self ordering system. Chicken katsu was amazing, much better than the pork katsu which I felt was way too dry. The sides were really small

Topokki Katsu.
Dat N.

We came around lunchtime on a weekend. It wasn't too busy, so we were seated quickly. We ordered the Topokki Katsu and a Chicken Katsu with a mini udon. The katsu for both were crispy, but a bit on the drier side. The topokki was okay; serviceable, but not noteworthy. The sides complimented the heaviness of the katsu quite well. The portions are large, here! It's not far fetched to have a little bit left over for later.

Chicken Curry Katsu
Zenny D.

I'm on a mission: try every katsu place in the Bay Area, so I had to hit up Yumee Katsu (pronounced You-Mee). This is a Korean/Japanese fusion spot; they serve a shoyu flavored miso, kimchi, radish, and cabbage + lemon dressing to accompany your dish. FOOD: Chicken Curry Katsu (4/5) - I honestly expected more curry, given that it's a curry katsu. It feels like the curry is just there for presentation because there wasn't much. The chicken was nicely battered and crisped. It was $23, on the pricier end for curry katsu yet still enjoyable. I'm assuming there is an up charge for the side dishes. Yumee Donkatsu (5/5) - So good! Personally I'm not big on pork katsu, but the meat was juicy and lightly fried. By itself it was decent but the katsu sauce and wasabi enhanced every bite. Honestly I didn't even need rice for this because it filled me up. SERVICE: The waitresses are nice and quick. They give you a menu, but you order using an iPad. You pay at the counter when you're done. I have no complaints about this place other than the location they chose. This plaza is infamous for its parking....It's out of the way for me but if I'm in the area I'd definitely come back to this place!

New katsu spot opened up in the Ranch 99 plaza on Hostetter, taking over Vons Chickens. The interior looks pretty much the same, except maybe with more tables. Came here for an early dinner. The restaurant already had a few patrons dining and there was a wait by the time we left. Since it's in a plaza, there's plenty of parking but it gets extremely busy since there are other popular stores here. There's an iPad connected to the table where you can order your food. They have katsu dishes of all kinds. We ordered the katsu with ramen and dry noodles. The portions are huge, which makes sense because the price point is a bit higher for a meal around here (around $18-25 w/o tax and tip) but it's comparable to other katsu places around. You get side dishes with your dish. The katsu was well fried and not too oily. The ramen was pretty standard and so were the dry noodles. Service was good, as the waiters were very attentive and brought us water often. Food came out quickly as well. Would come back here!

Yumee Katsu is a new restaurant that opened up and took the space of where Von's Chicken used to be in this mall. The parking is horrendous on the weekends. If you are lucky to find a spot, you will see the restaurant by Paris Baguette and Venus Cafe. The interior is nicely decorated and modern. The service is friendly and attentive. Donkatsu Spicy Chewy Noodle - first off, the noodles are cold like a salad. Don't get me wrong, it was a flavorful, hint of spiciness, and thick chewy noodles. The katsu was fried to a golden brown. Assorted Katsu - pork katsu, shrimp katsu, and cheese katsu. A good entree if you are undecided on what to get or just want to try a variety of fried choices. Support your local business.

First time visiting this place for dinner, and it was a good experience. The environment is nice, and it was very easy to find parking. I ordered the shrimp with curry--the presentation was definitely impressive, and the shrimp was perfectly crispy. My friend ordered the fish, and it tasted really good as well. Because of that positive experience, I decided to revisit for lunch on a Monday. I was surprised to find that no one else was there. I ordered the fish katsu, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The fish had a strange smell and tasted a bit like hand soap. I mentioned this to the waitress, just so the kitchen could be aware and pay attention to the issue. Since the food quality seems to be pretty inconsistent between visits, I'm giving it 3 stars for now.

I definitely prefer Japanese Katsu, but Yumee is a solid choice if I wanted something more unique. I tried three dishes here: Rose Topokki Katsu, Cheese Katsu, and Donkatsu Spicy Noodles. Rose Topokki was the star and everything else was so-so. The rose topokki was delicious and I liked the crunchy flakes. The Cheese Katsu was okay because I prefer more meat than cheese ratio. I did not like the DonKatsu Spicy Noodles because the noodles were cold and tasted like kimchi.. Overall, the katsu here is tender and fried well. I would only get the rose topokki next time. After trying three dishes, I defintely got flavor fatigue from the katsu and was tired of eating fried food. I also liked the little banchan and the soups!

Assorted katsu + chicken katsu curry
Iris H.

Waited around 30 mins before getting seated. Quite a lot of people joining the waitlist during the dinner hour rush. We got the assorted katsu(pork, shrimp and cheese) and also the chicken katsu curry. I find the chicken katsu to be the least dry and juicer than most. Cheese katsu has a nice cheese pull. I like how there are the pickled radish and kimchi on the sides, along with salad. Presentation is a plus too. -**: fried shrimp katsu is not crispy. Outer layer is too thin, so texture is almost mushy(?). Also the price for the set is normal, but the add-on side dishes are out of place. Ex: The mini udon is $5.99 and probably the size of a small fist size. It's equivalent of 2 mouthful udons. Don't think I'll get it again.

Chicken katsu udon and one with rice and rose rice cake
analynn n.

New place finally opened next to Paris Baguette and it's so GOOD. You order from an iPad and the katsu itself is so crispy and BIG. It comes with miso soup, kimchi, radish, and salad. The Rose Rice cake is also delicious and nice and creamy. The servers are nice and fast and place of course is really clean. I do wish they gave more rice but that's just cause I eat too much.

A new katsu place opened so I knew I had to try it. Since it was late dinner and they were about to close, I got take out. Rose Toppoki Katsu (4/5): Remember this is take-out! This dish comes with rose toppoki (so great if you can't handle spicy) and a katsu. The katsu tasted a bit dry and it didn't blend well with the bed crumbs. The toppoki was good, but couldn't taste much of the rose flavor. I would like to dine in at this place next time.

Assorted Katsu ($25.99) & extra curry ($5.99) Takeout
Evonne C.

[Food] Takeout - Assorted Katsu ($25.99): Comes with rice, salad w/ dressing, sauce (katsu sauce & tartar), and soup. Also comes with pickled daikon and kimchi! I enjoyed the pork katsu and the shrimp, but I think the cheese one is a bit too heavy for me. You also have to eat the cheese one fast before it gets cold and hardens. - Extra Curry ($5.99): Yum! I'm glad I got extra to dip my katsu in or even with more rice. - Curry Katsu ($23.99): I feel like the takeout portion may be a tad smaller than if you were to dine-in. The tonkatsu is more on the lean side, but the curry has a nice flavor. Also comes with soup, salad, and some picked radish & kimchi. [Service] - Fast, friendly, helpful - Order via kiosk tablet [Ambiance] - Decent amount of seating indoors - Parking can get packed during peak dinner hours as it is in the plaza where 99 Ranch, Gen, Kura, Paris Baguette, Venus Cafe, etc are at. [Overall] - Would come back again to try other dishes!

It was the specials of the night which was hairy crab and gooseneck barnacle for additional charge. The dessert was a Pandan mochi item and it was not too sweet. We celebrated our anniversary and they provided a complimentary yuzu cheesecake which was really nice. My favorite nigiri was the ocean trout with truffle and the medium fatty tuna. For the fatty tuna, the chef dusted a bunch of gold flakes and he asked me to film it so it was like a golden cloud with a nigiri. Kind of funny. Overall , awesome food , would come back. Looks like they change their menu monthly. I also see other types of menus like a wagyu menu, and other specials. Very neat. Check this place out.

Bae and I have not gone out alone for a long time and this night cap was long over due. I don't know where to begin. The ambiance and the staff are super kind and service on par. Paired our course with an Asahi glass of ice-cold beer which melted all our worries away. The smoked amberjack left notes of applewood. Melts me inside out. Our conversations with the chef was endless, learned a lot about him, his roots as a chef back in Osaka. We had a good time. We will come back again for sure

From sushi to soups and noodles this is our local go to gem. We eat here after Festival of Lights,…read moreafter baseball games and long days. I personally love udon both ways. Veggie udon is my favorite tho I do love the occasional tempura udon. The friend udon is a new hit for me. My favorite yummy middles with veggies. Less broth =easier to catch all the noodles. My son love the park ramen so to each favorite enjoy. My family loves the sushi and staff so much they love to sit at the sushi bar. The staff is top notch and the sushi is well prepared. You can get anything from omakasi to vegan rolls. Life's is your oyster. Go make some fun combos. They gave lunch options too that make for a quick in and out friend or family or even business type lunch. I've meet here several times myself for a quick lunch and left happy.

Yoshi Sushi @yoshisushi.sanjose…read more A spacious and bright spot for Japanese cuisine in San Jose. They also have bar seating where you can watch fresh sashimi being cut right in front of you. From nigiri and sashimi to classic rolls, hand rolls, bento, ramen, and udon, there's plenty to choose from. What we ordered: Dream Box (varieties of sashimi) Agedashi Tofu Beef Skewer Yoshi Special Roll Baked Scallop Roll Dream Box was definitely a highlight! As a newly developed sushi baby, I'm discovering new favorites, and the O.toro and Salmon Belly were easily my top picks of the night. Their buttery, smooth texture was everything! The Scallop and Uni Nigiri practically melted in my mouth, while the Kanpachi had a nice chewy texture that I really enjoyed. Yoshi Special Roll is a must order! The crunchy shrimp tempura paired with the spicy crab meat made such a delicious combo. Loved the mix of textures in every bite! As a scallop fan, I had to get the Baked Scallop Roll, and it did not disappoint! It was topped with plenty of scallops, making it a must try for fellow scallop lovers. There are still so many other dishes on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely have to come back for more!

We regularly order takeout from here, and it remains one of our favorite sushi restaurants because of their incredible consistency. The quality, taste, freshness, and beautiful presentation never drop. We ordered takeout again today for a family gathering (a party of six), and everything was fantastic: Baked Salmon Roll: We always get this--highly recommended if you have someone in your group who doesn't like raw fish! Combo Roll: This features the Dragon, Happy, and Storm rolls. It's a great new addition and a wonderful value since we used to order those individually anyway. Las Vegas & Milpitas Rolls: Both were big hits with the group. Everything we had today was just as amazing as before. Over the years, we have probably tried more than 20 different dishes from their menu, and we have literally never been disappointed. Highly recommend Sen Dan Sushi to anyone in the area!

Since we were sitting at the bar, we got to see sushi being made and orders pushed out. The chefs were very efficient. Our group ordered the storm bringer roll, tiger roll, salmon kama, and nigiri mix. Storm bringer is our usual go to roll and it was good as always. The tiger roll was new and I'm so glad we tried it. The chili pepper with spicy garlic chili on top of the salmon was so good. Most likely will rotate this roll in from now on. The salmon Kama was a good size to share and charred well. The nigiri mix had really fresh slices of fish. I'm glad we can always depend on the quality of the sushi here.
