Yume Sushi

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.

$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 UJapanese 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 DAside 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 personBEST 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/mpvn4psmMinced 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/5n6xth9aFresh 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 starsTender, juicy, and well-seasoned with crispy seared edges. --American Wagyu: (Reg. $7.97/HH $6) // 4 starsRich and tender with a savory tare sauce (soy-based).--Beef Tongue ($6.97, not on HH menu) // 1 starDry, 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/3v4nhyyfMore 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/yc6dd2dhMoist 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/4mfpua75Slightly 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/mffvyjx2Smooth and oh-so-buttery. Good deal,* White rice ($2.97/bowl)Filler to pair with the hamachi kama. S E R V I C EOne 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 ESame 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 GEasy residential street parking before 5 pm. Overall, come here for the $1 HH Oysters! Byeeeeee!

This is our go-to neighborhood sushi place. The service is fast, and they have good happy hours. The sushi is simple and affordable.

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.

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

Loved this place! Came here after a dance class and it was exactly what I needed!Delicious fresh sushi, wonderful service, excellent tea and cozy atmosphere!

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.

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.

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!
