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. I come here frequently - whether on my own or with a large group and they're always able to accommodate us graciously and have treated us like "regulars" since we first moved to the neighborhood

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.

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.

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.

$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!
