Yumi

Sep 17th, 2021

This is a gem of a restaurant with some of the most delicious fish and dishes in NJ. My husband and I drive an hour to either Red Bank or Sea Bright to enjoy the otoro roll, the uni toro maki, shuenn roll, crispy rice tuna, the yellowtail jalapeño, fair haven roll, kuromaguro ponzu, sweet ebi, and the hirame maki. Everything is DIVINE (and we have eaten some of the best omakase in NY and Philly so we have done the homework to know!) and the fact that it’s BYO is only more magical. Nothing like a cold glass of champagne or some sake with these things!

Not a good value. Good sushi is hard to find in this area and this is good sushi, but the nigiri is smaller than my thumb. Specialty rolls are $23. Not worth it.

Wow…Yumi is on another level. We found them in a list of best restaurants at the shore. So glad I pivoted to the following day when originally calling for a same day reservation Thursday! We were running late and added a sixth person to our party of five, called them and they said no problem. Arrived, told them our name, and our table was ready in five minutes. The server did everything from busing to taking orders and serving. She was flawless with the help of on or two others. They all worked like a miracle team to make the front of the house run seamlessly. She was attentive without being overly burdensome and never made us feel like we were out of reach. There were so many delicious options in the menu I just asked her to make recommendation. We went with just about everything she suggested. The food was absolutely amazing! The kitchen knocked it out of the park!! From execution to quality and freshness of ingredients and inventiveness of flavor combinations. Just incredible! My only disappointment was that I’ll never be able to enjoy our regular spot closer to home as much again. I should have taken a picture of the check so we could recreate the magic the next time we go here. I’ll be thinking of this meal for a long long time and look forward to many happy returns! Great job!!
