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.

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

Food: Ume Bowl with Ochazuke Set Price: $26 + $4.5…read moreOverall: I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary back in April! It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon. Although we had to wait for a bit for the dashi soup to arrive , it was a delicious end to our meal. So comforting and hearty.

Had the Shabu Udon with Gyu Baru (fatty beef) and the Mentaiko Udon…read more The Shabu Udon is one of their hot Udon dishes. It had a delicate broth; smooth, not too fishy, not too salty. Came with al dente Udon noodles, fatty beef slices, soft poached egg, seaweed and thinly sliced fried burdock root, and yuzu skin strips. The fried burdock root tasted like mushroom but with a bitter aftertaste. The yuzu added a lemon rind citrus flavor. Mixing the poached egg in the broth made it slightly creamy. The slices of fatty beef was a bit chewy. Overall, good broth but the dish itself as a whole was just ok. The Mentaiko Udon tasted like pasta with creamy Alfredo sauce flavored with shrimp. The calamari had a thin batter and fried crispy. A bit too fishy for me. Both dishes were not worth the price charging. Food came out pretty quickly. Staff had a more professional than warm approach.

One of the best things I've experienced is eating at Yoshi Sushi and eating the Love Tray…read more First off, plenty of parking inside the plaza and also wasn't busy on a Wed evening. It's a QR code to order your meal and the service was very quick. Our water cup was also kept full. It's very bright and welcoming inside and comfortable seating throughout. Onto the food, my friend and I ate with our eyes, lol. The Kaisen box was so delicious and the assortment of fish and crab tasted fresh. The star of the show was the Love Tray. The rolls came out first and each one was delectable. Good portion of rice to fish ratio. The nigiri and the sashimi came next and the beautiful range of fish was too pretty to eat! We finished off with the tempura ice cream which is pre-cut for you. The meal was absolutely amazing and I'll be back!

I had Yoshi Sushi saved for some time, so I was excited to visit here this past June. Walking in,…read morethe decor was nice, but the booth/table that we were sat at didn't seem permanently affixed in its place, which was odd. Regarding the menu, which was accessible via QR code, we noticed that you cannot order more than 1 order of nigiri and there was no option for hot tea. I mean, seriously, what kind of sushi place doesn't serve hot tea? When I went to the restroom to wash my hands, the floors were ever so slightly slippery, which was off-putting. When our food arrived, the sushi rice was room temperature and everything had very americanized flavors. The udon was both too sweet and too salty, while the tempura batter was under salted (and so was most of everything else). We ordered edamame that never arrived, and they refunded us after we managed to flag someone to come over. Unfortunately because of the QR code online ordering, the servers (if you could call them that) did not pay much attention to us, not even to refill water. We asked about their happy hour after 9pm, which boasted 10% off food, but was not automatically applied online and had to be manually added when we went to pay. Yoshi Sushi was absolutely not worth what we were charged, and we didn't bother taking leftovers because of the subpar quality, which is a rare stance for me.

Strike 2 only restaurant I have been to in my life when I asked for a hot water they charge. Hot tea is understandable, but charging for hot water is wild. Strike 3 was we ordered the treasure box and 3 out of the 4 sushi items were not fresh and ended up only eating the salmon and left the rest. Didn't bother taking pictures of it, but the teriyaki chicken was also burnt and not seasoned good at all and barely edible. If you want garlic edamame or hand rolls or basic rolls those options are actually better than average for the most part. I advise to stay away from sashimi options as it is below standards.
