Yume

It was good, nice little gem - I think our bill dinner for two was about $100.. I don't think we had any drinks.

I ordered lunch here last month and just remembered from my phone pics.My Udon soup hit the spot. The noodles were so big and perfectly chewy, and the broth was full of umami. I drove about 10 mins to pick it up. It was still piping hot when I got home.I tried both California Rolls - one with real crab and the other with imitation crab. Oddly enough, I preferred the imitation crab! Leftovers were decent the next day too.The Crunchy Rainbow Roll was also fresh and satisfying. I'm sure it would have been crunchier if it wasn't a pickup order.This place is small and casual. The cashier was friendly and polite when I took a while signing the receipt cause I forgot my glasses. I'd return to try more special rolls.

Excellent. A tiny, authentic gem. A Japanese-owned sushi and ramen shop! The ramen was simple but EXCELLENT. I was surprised because it came out without the ubiquitous bamboo shoots and red-died ginger of so many establishments. The owner was gracious enough to answer my questions about this, and he explained that such condiments do not normally accompany pork-based broth ramen. He also told us he uses only fresh noodles made locally. It shows. The noodles had excellent flavor and texture. They had a nice wine selection, plus soft drinks and even ramune. A great date night place when you want to keep it low-key, local, and yummy. We will definitely be back.

After meeting a friend here for a lunch of teriyaki salmon, salad and rice, we both went home. I got immediate lower GI sick. My friend got the same plus vomiting. I called to inform them the food made us ill. The lady did not care at all. Just said "well goodbye." I won't eat here again.

Ah-mazing sushi!Walked in on a Tuesday around 7 pm to find that this quaint little sushi spot was busy! Excellent and fast customer service experience! Dim lighting, quaint, low-key background music. We will definitely be back soon and I am telling all of my family and friends about Yume! Go - you will not be disappointed!!!

Yume is a cute, small sushi restaurant. There were approximately six or seven tables available inside. When I came here for dinner, I ordered the California Hand Roll, Spicy Tuna Hand Roll, and Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll. All of them tasted so fresh and delicious. I would return here! Tasty sushi and great customer service, too.

I am a frequent and long-time customer at Yume and a firm believer that anyone else who gives them a try will be as well. Masa, the owner and chef here, is one of the nicest, most hardworking people you will ever meet. He puts genuine care into his work and you can see that in the finished product.I absolutely love their Salmon Tataki Roll. It's almost like a salmon salad. They make the freshest, most delicious California Roll you will ever eat and the Yume Roll is a unique take on that as well. My favorite thing to get though is the Peanut Chicken over rice; So simple, yet so delicious. Yume is small, with a cozy feel and there is always something new to try so you will never get bored coming here but you will definitely find your favorites because it's so easy to do. The staff is always welcoming and it just feels like home. Its no wonder Yume is always voted best sushi restaurant and has such a crazy high rating on Yelp. I will be a loyal patron for as long as the doors are open here.

Lovely place with delicious food. I thought some items were expensive but when they arrived, it was proportionate to the large amount of food presented. They were very accommodating to my food allergies, making it relaxing.

What Yume offers is pretty good. What they don't offer may disappoint some. You will not find Bento Boxes on the menu. Some 'staples' such as Hamachi Kama are not on the menu. What they do have is an abundance of other appetizers, nigiri, sashimi and rolls. The dining room is small. I had made a reservation for five so one of their two 'long' tables was reserved for us when we walked in. The restaurant is all two and four tops. Our table was two moved together. When it got busy beyond what the kitchen could comfortably handle, they stopped seating guests and taking phone orders. That earned a lot of respect from me. Instead of trying to take on as much business as they could, they focused on the guests that were already seated. We started with iced water for everyone plus a Coke. I suggested to our server that she simply leave a pitcher of ice water and that would save her some work. She happily accommodated my request. We started with:Pan-Fried Pork Gyoza - 5 - I love having a decent amount of veg in my gyoza. My dining companions, not so much. But since this is MY review... They come six to an order and we ordered two plates. A bit more pan fry time would add more flavor and texture.Seafood Tempura - 3 - everything was cut too small and the order didn't seem complete on the plate. Probably better as an app for one. We ordered two and it was not memorable.Deep Fried Oysters - 2 - unfortunately, they were overcooked. The crust was hard and the oyster was firm. Agedashi Tofu - 4 - The presentation was unusual. The Tofu was stacked in a regular bowl with the dipping sauce at the bottom. There was a spoon for the sauce but you couldn't get to it until most of the tofu had been removed. We had ordered two so we ate from one bowl before moving onto the second. There were no green onions or bonito flakes in the dish. Flavor wise, it was okay.Tuna Cerviche - 3 - one of our friends ordered this. It was okay but not my cup of tea.Yume Roll - 5 - Reading reviews, I kept seeing the Yume Roll. At $30, it is a bit pricy but not excessively so. Generally, we're not fans of rolls that have too many ingredients or multiple sauces. You will rarely find those in a sushi-ya in Japan. Simplicity is King. Yes, yes, I know, I should stop complaining and go get my sashimi in Japan. If I could afford to, I would. And I would clean up on $9 and $12 bowls of fresh ramen too, unlike the $16 to $20 we pay in the US. At any rate, I gave the Yume Roll a 5 because it was large, unusual and flavorful. Yet, I wouldn't order it again because it was too busy for me. Size wise, look at my picture. It is quite long. For those who have complained about how thinly sliced the rolls are, what difference does it make so long as they don't fall apart when you pick them up. If you order a large pizza and it's cut into 12 slices instead of 6 slices, it's still the same size pizza! You pay by the pie, not by the slice. Same goes for Sushi Rolls. Whether they give you 10 pieces or 6 pieces, the overall roll size is the same. The Yume Roll is 2 to 3 rolls in size.Salmon Cilantro Roll - 4 - Unusual because instead of wrapping this roll in Nori (seaweed), they use Tomato Skin which melts in your mouth. We're in the Lodi area once a year. We might try Yume again. But it seems that Lodi is moving forward in the dining arena.

I keep coming back to this place. Food is amazing. So fresh, pretty quick and ALWAYS delicious. I've had many things from here that have been great, but besides sushi, their ramen is phenomenal. They have a selection and I haven't tried them all but I've had three different types, and today I had the tangy cilantro with shrimp and it did not disappoint. I dont think I have ever finished all of my ramen anywhere before and I ate every last bit today and will be ordering it again. This place I believe is a hidden gem. If you love Japanese food give this place a shot you won't be disappointed.
