Review Yume - Johannesburg

Matthew Higgs
Excellent service from our waitress. Fresh sushi. It was Mondays half price and they were filling the bar with all kinds of dishes. Great experience. Even tried a different plate or 2. Facts. Half price Mondays
Juanita Vermeulen
Lovely atmosphere, food is delicious. Our go to place when we crave sushi and dim sum. The dessert sushi is to die for. Chocolate brownie with a hint of chilli. Absolutely delicious. Service is fantastic and the staff is super friendly
Nethin Maharaj
YuMe SUSHI Bar is definitely a top choice for great sushi. Mondays are half price sushi and Tuesdays you get 3 for 2. It's vibey, the waiters are attentive and the food is great. Highly recommend.
Kine Pillay
YuMe is a regular spot for us. We love the sushi and the staff remember your face and greet you with a smile and check up on you. We really love the food here and our favourite is the 7 salmon platter and the seared tuna but try sushi off the belt to discover new and tasty treats as well as some of the hot dishes as it's always fun to try something new. Who knows you might find your new favourite dish. This time a tried a noodle dish which was nice.
Nafisa Akabor
One of my favorite sushi spots, for the unusual sushi offerings and their dim sum is amazing. Last time I went it felt like standards were dropping. But usually it's always good.
Esther Martins
Oh my goodness, I left this restaurant wondering why it took me so long to actually eat here. The best sushi I have EVER had and such a wide variety. The service was great, I'm not a can't of Montecasino but I'll definitely be revisiting it because of this place. So worth stepping out on a rainy weekday. So delicious.
Calvin
Great variety of tasty Asian food. Good service. Awesome look and feel to the place.
Angelique Ferguson
Sushi was good, salmon skins always a hit. Pad Thai was tasty and fresh
Tamlyn Hewett
Delicious sushi, huge selection, a bit pricey but they offer specials.
Johann Maritz
Friendly service.... delicious food. Will definitely go again
Aisha Moolla
We've been to YuMe a few times and it has never disappointed. The menu is really vast with something for everyone. Each item is priced based on the colour of the plate. We love Monday's because it's half price and definitely worth it! The waiters are always great (they've memorized the menu!) and we're served in a fair amount of time. The sushi always looks and tastes great too. We usually order the tempura types (my favourite in no. 68 double crunch) and they're seriously good if you like that kinda thing! Definitely worth checking YuMe out, especially on a Monday, if you need to satisfy a sushi craving without breaking the bank.
Afzal Khan
It may be voted best sushi in Jhb, but, I'm pretty sure they didn't have to wait more than 20 mins for Sushi.<br/>Do not go to this place if it's more than 80% full. The staff does not have capacity to satisfy orders in a timely manner. Absolutely ridiculous amount of time to wait for food
Sean Hearder
Thought it would be great. No maki, no sashimi, no nigiri, no California rolls. A great disappointment as my kids were really looking forward to sushi. Same stuff going round and round for half an hour
Livi Van Der Linde
The sushi is always fresh. Even on the belt. I suggest only going on a Monday as it’s half price & regular prices are a bit unreasonable. Highly recommend The Mount Fuji rolls! Absolutely delicious and fresh!
Bianca De Beer
I was extremely disappointed with the service and quality of the food when I was there on a date. Sushi order took 35mins and was incorrect when it arrived. Drinks took 15mins, for a beer and lemonade. When we asked for the manager he didn't even try to make things right. We even had to pay for the incorrect food item we didn't ask for. The manager was completely unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. And the sushi was terrible after waiting so long I'd expect better. Date 1 June 2019.
Nicole
Excellent options and variety of sushi but the service is just appalling. I have been on many occasions because the sushi is good and reasonably priced but the level of service just gets worse and worse. If you can put up with that though, it’s worth going for the Monday half-price sushi
Mak
Very average food. Tom Yum soup was overly sweet and the prawn tempura was very soggy and not crispy the way tempura is expected to be. My sons California rolls were ok.
Tally Leach
The vegetarian sushi here is really good and I love that they’ve made an effort to include a wider variety of vegetarian things. The service really just let this place down for me. I waited around 40 minutes for the sushi I ordered.
Yajna
1.5* service<br/>5* food<br/>Lovely greeting at the door. Not very busy for a Friday night but sleek, clean restaurant.<br/>We ordered salmon sashimi - generous slices, fresh and tasty. Bruce-lee rolls, calamari, avo and salmon, delicious and my favourite was the prawn tempura - best I've had in a while!<br/>I also order the chicken + prawn, egg noodle & thai sauce with extra chilli & cashews, absolutely delicious! Kitchen is wonderful here. Will be back to try other items on the menu!<br/>Service, unfortunately, left a lot to be desired. Waitresses were mostly around the door and not very visible or easy to catch their attention. We waiting too long to place our orders (starters after drinks and mains) and have to keep asking for the table to be cleared. They didn't really anticipate what was needed, but friendly nonetheless.<br/>Defs a great meal and a good evening on the whole. 2nd time visiting, will visit again, regardless of the slow service from the wait staff.
Alok Patro
I liked the sitting near the sushi corner ... some of the sushi are their own creations though not the traditional ones tastes delicious.. love to visit again ... Dont forget to try the Salmon Tower.
Nolene Du Preez
Love love LOVE YUME! Best sushi and best sake! Definitely my go to place! The atmosphere is great and I love the fresh plate option. I love watching my sushi being made.
Love❤food
(December 2017) There is such a variety to choose from and everything I ordered was delicious but the spinach and cream cheese dim sum and halloumi spring rolls were the most unforgettable.<br/>Service is a bit slow but the waitress was pleasant.<br/>Nice little place but I would prefer more comfortable seating Not a place to sit back and chill... it is a place to eat and run.<br/><br/>Update: I visited this place again yesterday (July 2018) and I was dissapointed, the spring rolls were a bit too crispy, the sushi was awful, the salmon had a horrible taste, we waited a long time for drinks and even longer for our meals.<br/>The waitress was friendly unfortunately it did not make up for the poor quality of food. The only thing that looked good was the dim sum and the passion fruit and lemonade which I had to drink.<br/>Again, I will comment on the seating and it is way too uncomfortable, I felt like Goldilocks trying to get comfortable sitting yesterday... but for me there was no comfortable chair unlike Goldilocks (and her "just right bed)<br/><br/>
Neville Govender
It's one of my favourite places to visit when i'm at Montecasino. Service is always good and attentive. The sushi is always fresh and delicious
Dark Chocolate Honey
20/04/2018 🍽<br/>This is definitely one of my favourite sushi bars. It is a little pricey compared to others, but definitely worth every penny.<br/><br/>This time we indulged in the 'WTF (Where's The Fish)' platter. Basically, it's sushi with no fish - and it's really good. There are pieces with chicken and some with beef, so it's great if you're in the mood to try something different. <br/><br/>And of course, who doesn't love service with a smile? 👍
Azrah Kadwa
YuMe sushi bar has a very enticing atmosphere. On tuesdays they have a 2 for 3 special which was great. I opted for the yellow plates which served up tuna & mayo maki , salmon nigiri and I also tried the prawn & bamboo shoots pot stickers. MyOhMy , the caramelization on the pot stickers was just delicious. Can’t wait to try out the Monday specials.
Daria Chernova
Sushi is rather great here. No matter on how busy they are. Some combination on the rotation are a bit odd for my pallet, but as I always say, to each their own. <br/>This time we watched a movie and everything was closed. All kitchens. They were open just for last customers to leave. We ran in and asked if we can get take-away from the rotation and the manager said definitely. We got lucky with a free dessert as well! <br/>Their ginger is really nice and spicy. Very good pickle. Service is always great. Love going there.
Roxy Bruinenberg
Nice little restaurant right in the corner of Monte near scoops, we walked past it and immediately took notice of the huge sign saying "50% off Monday's" we decided to walk around to see what else we felt like but it took us a whole 5 minutes to realize we need to turn around and go try out their sushi (I've only ever heard great things about it) we got in and we were lucky enough to sit around the conveyer belt and got to eye our chefs do their magic, making each little sushi dish look perfect and it was just that, it was real fresh the fish and they had a great variety to choose from (which I personally like) the service was great, our waitress was very attentive to us and came to check up on us (not too many times like some do) they had a cocktail menu which had some yummy stuff on as well, they have a special on Tuesday too for get three and only pay for two, it was great price for what we got and will definitely go again, reason for only 4 stars is because our last dish which was fried salmon skins which unfortunately was cold but it was good none the less. Highly recommend to go if you're a sushi addict like myself!
Jaco De Wet
A wide variety of Sushi to choose from and good decor and ambience paired with genuinely good sushi makes this a good spot for one of the best sushi experiences in Johannesburg!
O-Mizu Satori
The menu is endless and has so many variations and interesting combos to choose from. In terms of taste, it was perfect as well. We just ended up waiting for way too long to get our order which was getting somewhat annoying.
Pierre
Visted again as I previously intended. During the second meeting for an early lunch appetizer the constant speaking over the food was upsetting. Not very hygienic.<br/><br/>Previous. three months before. gave a 3.5 then<br/>Visited for the appetizer portion of a restaurant hopping evening. We enjoyed it. Ambiance is not necessarily specia but food is good and service as well. We enjoyed the wide selection of sushi. Not a cheap sushi bar price wise but nice experience. Will visit again. A bit off putting the way the cheffs talk over the food
Warren McKay
Great service. Waiter was really friendly and even though the food took a bit longer she kept us informed to the progress. The sushi was well done and atmosphere was good.
Carin
What a little gem!<br/>Hands on owner & manager, staff are great!<br/>Sushi are great, huge variety of sushi to choose from.<br/>Also other Asian cuisine that's delicious, and yummy deserts!<br/>Overall great experience
Marentia Van Kasterop
We were referred to Yume Sushi Bar with the instruction to try their dim sums. <br/><br/>The food ( not only the dim sums) was really good and the restaurant had a good vibe. Maybe just a tad to noisy. <br/><br/>The only negative point is that compared to other Sushi restaurants they are pricy. Very pricy.... So be prepared to be shocked.....<br/><br/>Value for money is therefore a bit questionable, but decide for yourself. <br/>
Sherry Naicker
Teriyaki chicken and halloumi spring rolls were yummy. The veg noodles were not to my taste. Should have got noodles with chicken. Overall Good experience. Would go back to try other items on the menu. Great service
Tesh
Great place to have a wide variety, interesting and good tasting sushi. Good service with some good sushi. Prices are decent. The conveyor belt always has a good selection as well.
Miss Happy Plate :)
Didn't know it was this much fun to have sushi from a conveyer belt! I wanted to have them all cause all of them looked so nice! I loved the prawn tempura topped with chilli mayo sushi however the rest of them were just above average! Would I go there again? Maybe yes but only after trying all the other restaurants at monte casino
Tenisha Frank
After hearing so many positive things about YuMe Sushi at Monte...it was our venue of choice for a dinner with friends. The sushi presentation was gorgeous I would give them 10/10 for this. However, I was very disappointed with the sushi and menu. I expected so much more and it did not deliver. ☹Damain Govender Gerrard Kistanna Tamlyn Pillay
Gerrard Kistanna
Set in the busy Monte Casino this sushi spot will not be my first choice when I get a sushi craving. An extensive menu with plenty of options but ridiculously priced. And the sushi was not the best I've had. Dim sum was also quite boring. Our platter was well presented but didn't meet my expectation at R255. Won't be going back any time soon.
Katie Wilson
Absolutely shocking service. Over an hour waiting for what we ordered for a table of 6 people. Kept giving warning as to the rush we were in and we're given attitude back. Cancelled the order and walked away. Usually a great place to go but won't return
Buff D
Overall it was a fine experience. The fried dim sum was fine, the edamame steamed dim sum just broke when you tried to pick it up, it was a mess. The sushi was fine, the fish was freezing though almost as if it had been frozen or stored in a really cold fridge which for me was a disappointment. I also had the build your own noodle and it was fine. Service was fine, had to try flag down our waitress a few times and once she brought the food she never came to ask if we needed anything else. It's not a cheap night out and I more than willing to pay but I expect a better experience. I had very little expectation and still left feeling like it was just - fine.
Esther Shaidi
Oh my goodness, I left this restaurant wondering why it took me so long to actually eat here. The best sushi I have EVER had and such a wide variety. The service was great, I'm not a can't of Montecasino but I'll definitely be revisiting it because of this place. So worth stepping out on a rainy weekday. <br/><br/>So delicious.
Armand Oosthuizen
By far my favourite sushi bar and always like to visit Yume. Been to Yume in Parkhurst before and was glad to see the consistency between the restaurants. Delicious sushi and friendly service. <br/><br/>Could order directly from the chef and he completely understood what we wanted. Strawberry daiquiri cocktail however was not the best. <br/><br/>Will keeo coming back for more <br/>
Taegen De Jager
I have no words for this restaurant.<br/>I promise I could eat here every meal of everyday. <br/>Food is unreal, staff are so special and friendly.<br/><br/>I often find myself feeling like I'm going to pop due to not being able to stop eating. Yume, thank you for blessing my tastebuds with an assortment of sushi unlike no other restaurant.<br/><br/>I would recommend EVERYTHING on this menu. <br/>You cannot miss out on their tempura prawn sushi - UN BLOODY REAL. Also make sure to try their dessert sushi, they're so unique and Devine.
Stelios Chasou
Waiter over 2 hours for our food on a Monday (50% off sushi night). Quite disappointing, even after the wait our food was cold (deep fried sushi). Not what we expected as this is not our first time here, but could be our last at the Monte branch. Manager on duty was also not very helpful, not even an apology.
Melishni Achary
Super disgusting salmon skin handrolls.Oily and service was poor on a Wednesday night waited more than 30 minutes to receive the handrolls that fell apart completely!
Pete Quinn
Food and selection good. Intersting variation o tradiotional suahi. But.....plan to spend an hour or two to have a full meal. Service poor. Tables full of previous dishes.
Nomagugu Chantelle Nkosi
The sushi was great but the service of the staff was dismal. Luckily for us, their negative emotions did not show through the preparation of the food. We overheard one of the chefs shouting to the waiter that she should stop taking orders so that they could go home. The chef was quite angry and really didn't care who could hear his rants. This was unprofessional and made the eating experience uncomfortable. Perhaps the chef needs to do a raincheck on the business he is in because you can't be in the business of serving and pleasing people but yet get livid when you are asked for a service.
Matthew Craig Geldenhuys
The food was good but over priced and the the service was really really bad. We didn't get everything we ordered and waited forever. Not sure it was worth the wait.
Wesly Fleischer
I took my girlfriend to yume for her birthday, she was craving sushi, me never been there before and all i can say is WOW amazing!!!! she loved it i loved the fact they spoiled her rotten!!!!. From the start when I arrived, the staff welcoming friendly. We asked if we could go for pre-drinks else where and would they hold our table, I asked the manager if it would be possible to sit by the belt, he said he would try his best but no guarantees, we get back and what do we have a seat at the belt. Waitress name that I regrettably  didn't get msyelf!!!but fantastic and on the ball. One of the "chefs" geez no words to describe him, he heard it was my girlfriends birthday and what a surprise he gave her, she was blown back. I can go on and on but the team there fantastic and i don't remember when last i saw a hands on manager. To the whole team front and back of house keep it up!!!!!!<br/>
Sushi-Sue
Love the salmon california rolls with strawberry and cream cheese, and salmon and mango! Cool weird substitutes for a change. There's also nothing better than a sushi bar where you can see the sushi go by... will be fat any day now...
Natalie Lazaris
I love sushi and YuMe does it well. I love sitting at the bar and grabbing plates off the sushi belt. The chefs are preparing it right in front of your eyes, so you know it's fresh. Order off the menu as well. Really nice for a quick meal before a movie or for a date night out. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
Avashini Khan
We ordered a platter and was rather impressed with the presentation. The sushi was delicious however there was a bit to much cooked sushi on the platter, no fault of theirs. The beef and mushroom won tons were average. Food didn't take long to arrive but our waiter was always missing and that annoyed us. Overall good sushi joint.
Yvette Johnson
They know me here. I go weekly. <br/>If my order gets messed up by another waiter other than my usual girl, there's internal war there. <br/>I love their broad menu. Even their veggie options appeal to my tuna-loving palate. Good service. Food fresh. Generous portions. Best springrolls ever. And they never run out of fresh tuna. <br/>Spot me at the conveyer belt. 😉
Uraysha Ramrachia
One of the better restaurants in Montecasino... great for a quick bite before a theatre or movie outing. The sushi is original and delicious, service was okay. Really love the selection of sushi available for vegetarians as well!
Yagan Moodley
Came for quick bite with wife. I was impressed. Quick service. Wife enjoyed her veg sushi and had prawn California roll. We will definitely return , next time we will come for the Monday 50% special.
Bulelwa
I started off the New Year refusing to do anything or eat anything other than sushi. I had been putting it off for so long and by the time I was ready all the local sushi places were closed for the holidays. Almost died. Almost. Thank goodness Monte Casino doesn't sleep. YuMe saved my life. <br/>I ordered for collection and I was impressed how quickly the order was ready. I decided, having never tried Yume, to order their Most Wanted combo. Live on edge, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Fortunately I was not disappointed. Could have done with less salmon (never thought I would ever say that). The sashimi was generous but overwhelming (a little too thick and steaky). I like a good mix of textures in my sushi. It was yummy though. Filling too. I would definitely try eating in the restaurant next time and update my review. If you're feeling lazy download their menu and have it in you iBooks like me, then order from an informed (well partially) place.
Dheshia Govender Kanniah
YUME has always been one of my favorite places to eat. The vibe is great and service is outstanding. There is a variety of sushi, dim sum and hot meals, depending on your taste buds. And the dessert options are great!
Prasantha Bisetty
Large variety of sushi to choose from but thats about it for yume. We had hong kong pears, teriyaki chicken wings, chicken and prawn pad thai noodles and a variety of sushi all average at best. They ran out of white wine and service is quite slow. Eaten there many times before and I honestly feel like thier standards have dropped.
Andrea L
Their sushi is great but seriously overpriced!! R42 for 4 tiny vegetarian california rolls is a bit of a joke and not worth it. The chicken strips are tasty but a bit too greasy. I'm not sure if I'd eat here again.
St. John Leech
Very creative with various sushi dishes but unfortunately there are several dishes that one should avoid. Stuffed Calamari tubes were not edible, Hong Kong pears were bland and the dim sum not fresh. On a whole the experience was a disappointment; pity given all the other positive reviews!
Dinika Singh
Sushi Thursday!!! I had just had a crappy day. All that would make me feel better was some good sushi. However, instead of going to my usual spots, decided to try out something different – YuMe sushi at Monte Casino. I had always seen it when I would visit Monte, but never stopped to try it out. They are extremely funky and I liked the vibe, even though it was quiet. We were immediately greeted at the door and seated – we opted for the table as the conveyor area seemed busy. We tried many dishes, some old favourites and some with a twist – with cream cheese and strawberries. It was all extremely tasty! I will be honest, I was not expecting all that amazing as sushi franchises tend to let me down, but this was really impressive. I particularly enjoyed the salmon california with strawberry and cream cheese. Different yet satisfying. I do however think that the prices were slightly over priced. Hence my rating. Service did dip a little as the evening progressed. Other than this, it was great and I look forward to trying out other Yume bars.
Eve
One of my old favourites for sushi, this place can always satisfy a sushi craving<br/>The belt displays a good variety of meals  but more so on the busy weekends.<br/>I always end up at the sushi belt as its just easier to eat and leave. <br/>The waiters are on point.<br/><br/>the guys behind the counter are polite and fast, they handle big crowds well as the waiting time for your sushi isnt long at all. <br/><br/>their variety is impressive and delicious. I love the hong kong pears,  and the volcano sushi.<br/>their tempura is great also.<br/><br/>Their seared beef is an all time favourite of mine.  Ive also tried their dim sum and noodles. <br/>8/10 for the food here.
Megan Kelly Taylor
We came for dinner, the sushi was ok , but the service was bad - and though our first set of spring rolls were good, we got a vomit worthy second batch was definitely off and undercooked- probably the freezer burn batch. The manger indifferently took them off the bill like he didn't believe us but we left with a really gross off prawn taste in our mouths and won't return.
Sofia Kouridis
The service can be slow, but the sushi is always perfect. I get double the tofu in my tofi rolls than I at any other YuMe in my area and it always tastes perfectly fresh and delicious.
YUM
It's a shame that the service and quality of the eats is so poor at this sushi bar because the concept isn't all that bad. My dim sum fell apart in my chopsticks - never a good sign - and the sushi was quite average.
Stoil Michaylov
I'm a huge sushi fan and quite often I'm left a bit disappointed by one thing on the menu or another but this place ticks all the boxes. Service was a little slow but nonetheless a great sushi bar. <br/>Is it value for money??? Is any sushi bar a cheap affair, not really but in this case it's money well spent. <br/>They make a sushi type desert of strawberries and cream cheese ..... That was goooooood
Pashnee Naidoo
Date night took us to Yume and my cravings of sushi. Firstly I have discovered my new favorite drink roasted coconut juice, oh so yummy. Then onto the dim sum of spinach, cream cheese and avocado California rolls and avo maki. Hubby tried their tuna mahe burger and salmon sushi which he was thoroughly impressed with. Will definitely be back soon. Quick service as well.
Debbie Osler
Possibly the worst sushi place I have eaten at. Sushi smothered in sauce and looks unappetizing. Over 45 min wait for food. I would not recommend at all!!!
FoodieM
Went to YuMe Last Tuesday 28/06 with my wife to try something different. I have been craving Sushi and my wife does not eat sushi. On arriving, it has a nice funky vibe, we where greeted by a friendly man (presume it is the owner) very busy sort of place but at Monte this is to be expected in general. on a Tuesday there is a special order 3 of the same colour plate and only pay for 2. The sushi bar was full so we opted to sit at a  table. After looking through the menu, it is not the norm in Sushi places, if you expecting proper eastern sushi (I had these for starters, but kept one for my final bite as they are just to good :) ), this is not the place. but for something different, it is worth a visit. The spring rolls are awesome. my wife had dumplings for starters (her first time having dumplings) she really enjoyed them. I had a mixture of "sushi" and my wife had a chicken noodle dish. The service was great, cant remember the guys name, but he knew the best dishes and really helped us get through the rather large menu. Seemed he had a full understanding of the dishes, which is rare with waiters these days. Rating: Cleanliness : 4.5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5, Food 4/5 (the chicken strips I can get anywhere really, the plum dipping sauce was interesting to add flavour to an otherwise bland dish) Service: 4/5, Would I go Back? thinking of going back next week actually and taking friends. Keep up the great work guys
Samantha Bekker
We could eat sushi 4 times a week given half a chance, so we are always on the lookout for a place offering a wide selection. Yume has a pretty long menu filled with options, we enjoyed trying out a few new things, unfortunately the pay by plate lands up being very expensive. The sushi was freshly prepared by a very friendly chef who was happy to show off his skills, we enjoyed the food, it was very tasty, the restaurant was clean, the sushi line was always full of tasty plates, there was no wait for a table, so overall we had a great experience
Ieatjozi
If you’re anything like me, you crave sushi at least 10 times a month. And when sushi is craved, it’s not for the supermarket version, but the complete experience, with all the exciting taste variations.<br/> <br/>YuMe Restaurants pride themselves in preparing fresh products that elevates the taste sensations with a "specially engineered experience; a dream-world of sushi", indeed.<br/><br/>I had the colourful rotating sushi bar an arm length away from my seat, the friendly faced logo and lists of available sushi jumping from the menu!<br/><br/>Besides the fresh approach to sushi creations, YuMe has many sensational options; Asian inspired hot meals including noodles and dim-sum, vegetarian options, the option to do take-out or party platters, AND you are allowed to design your own sushi rolls.<br/> <br/>This casual contemporary Japanese restaurant is licensed and offers a good variety of Japanese beverages including Singha and Tiger beers, Saki wine and Japanese aloe juice. We were impressed with the Asian beer options.<br/> <br/>We had an overall pleasant experience and I look forward to returning for their famous kawasura rolls (dessert spring roll) and dessert sushi.
Thirusha Reddy
Call me a snob but I generally dislike restaurant chains as I feel that franchising tends to lead to a decline in both food quality and service. Yume however is clearly an exception to the rule, I've been to this branch on countless occasions and their consistency never ceases to amaze me. The waiters are attentive and the sushi is always top notch, which is miraculously considering how busy they are on weekends. Without question my favourite sushi joint.
Heather Hook
Conveniently located in Montecasino this has always been one of my favourite sushi bars. Prices are steep, however the quality is unparalleled. Delightful combinations unique to YuMe make it a gastronomy journey unlike no other. Sit at tables, couches or the sushi belt - service is good and fast. They run specials throughout the week - so keep an eye on the website.
Sineshsingh
Sushi was warm. Vibe is good prices are ridiculous. Won't come back in a hurry for sushi. Waiter could not make up a platter for us and just suggested one of the three platters that are on the menu.
Dagggers
Massive sushi. I couldn't even finish it all. It's always great when the staff slicing the sashimi have no idea how it's actually meant to be and you land up with half a salmon. Good value for money.
Carien Jakovljevic
Sushi was quite inconsistent in terms of cut and size, and some of the california rolls was no thicker than my thumb in terms of the filling. They use quite a bit of rice and the rice is extremely sticky. All that said, it was tasty and the service was good. The fried salmon skin is delicious.
Grant & Sam
Inconsistent sushi, with very little fish in the filling. The seared salmon sashimi was cut very oddly, with every piece a different thickness, some of it difficult to eat with chopsticks. The prawn toast was ok. <br/>Overpriced for the badly-executed fast food style sushi.
Rhonda Hamilton
Dim sum to die for! And if you want weird, odd combinations for sushi, this is the place for you. I love trying something new and interesting every time, and going back for firm favourites. A good way to expand your sushi experiences. Love it!
Dana Booth
Not the best ambience if you want to sit at a restaurant, but the sushi is excellent and the service is friendly and efficient.<br/>My favourites are the prawn poppers, salmon volcanoes, salmon sashimi and my new favourite - salmon roses made with cucumber and cream cheese instead of rice for a healthier option.<br/><br/>The fillet with shitake mushroom sauce is also a winner
Zozette
I'm always keen to try something new at YuMe. All the sushi I've had on the menu is interesting and delicious. (& The noodles are also pretty fantastic.) Today I tried a spicy salmon California roll (yummy), but the Kobe California is my usual favourite - along with the tempura prawn/condensed milk combo. Surprisingly good! A little on the pricy side but always a top quality eat.
Dennis Naidoo
Still the widest range/ selection of sushi and noodles. Even have vegan selection that's quite exotic. Halloumi spring rolls are a must, and if u vegan then forest roll is great. A bit on the expensive side but worth it
Nicole Olwagen
I recently got takeaways on a Tuesday evening. I definitely think it's preferable to go and sit there as everything gets squished in the plastic (some of the sushi is pretty big). <br/><br/>As it was a Tuesday there was a special so I ended up getting more than I bargained for. No amount of sushi is too much 😋.<br/><br/>Good quality and tons of choice.
Jozi Poppy
If you in a rush and looking for good sushi this is the place. There is a sushi bar with good options and they change often. Sushi chefs are friendly. The sushi specials are delicious as well as the hot starter options. Noodle dishes are average with limited options available.
Cambré Acker
Really great place to go for good, fresh sushi. I just find them a bit pricey, but that comes with great food.All and all- YuMe sushi bar will see me again. :)
Anandie
Very pricey for average sushi. They do have some "exotic" options like strawberries and cream cheese, but it is very "blah". The service is so so and the other options on the menu isn't fantastic.
Nicole
The Hong Kong pears here are some of the best I've tasted, and the dim sum is delicious. The sushi variations are vast and so unique and the overall layout of the store is clean and fresh. The only downfall is the price of the plates.
Hemal
I had a craving for dim sum, that needed to be satisfied and the only place open on New Year's Day, was Yume Me. After a very long wait, our spinach dim sum arrived - I can't say it was the best I've had ... It was lacking flavor and was below average ..the sushi looked good - I'll try it out next time..
Mithum Singh
One of our regular spots for good sushi!!! The sushi lived up to the standard and was really good. Their famous speciality sushi was not a available on the belt today, however it was available after ordering. The Venice rolls was really good for the first time and is a "must try" option. My daughter had egg noodles which was just as good. Their was service was inattentive today and we had to wait a while to order drinks and obtain our bill.
Yasmin
A cute little sushi restaurant and good environment. Somehow whenever I go the sushi seems not fresh like all the other sushi bars. Maybe it's just been my experience.

Popped in for a quick sashimi. The sashimi was to be average and to be expected but the crew is typical pathetic no-idea of how friendliness work Japanese or other rice eating nation. Not worth my effort. Monte Casino Management need to look at this.

Really enjoyed it here and can't wait to go back again!! They have such a wide variety of Asian and fusion food, it's a fun, colorful, chilled atmosphere and there is fast and efficient wait staff. You can sit at a table or at the sushi bar. We sat at the sushi bar and we were tantalized by the array of yumminess passing by. We took off salmon roses, chicken strips with plum sauce, sushi with tempura prawn on top, we also ordered a dim sum platter with chicken and prawn dim sum and some teriyaki chicken wings. Amazing flavours! We had coconut juice with our meal, my new favorite. All in all a great meal

What a lovely surprise. We stopped in for a quick breakfast sushi and wow. I had the Calamari Maki with rise paper and it was delicious. Samon, Cucumber and Avo California Roll (Sumo Roll) and it was great. To drink I had a Toni glass, Bulberry and Marula. It left a very nice taste in my mouth. Will definitely come back. Marc Schmidt thx for the spoil.

Relaxed, indecisive, let's see what happens, Sunday morning, started with us discovering this little gem. Located in the Casino & decorated in a modern Japanese urban chic relaxed style with tables well spaced out. Spotlessly clean & just generally inviting. <br/>The waiters were friendly & very helpful & know their menu. <br/>We tried a Toni Glass Ice Tea for the first time. A sugar free Mulberry & Marula. I never drink ice tea but this was delicious & very very more'ish. <br/>The wasabi & Ginger were really fresh & very tasty. <br/>The dishes on the menu were very creative & went well beyond the usual old sushi choices. I was pulled to try more options than I could possibly eat because of all the different combinations & choices. <br/>I ended up with a Yume Crispy Beef Noodle & Tempura Prawns. All I can say is Holy Sh1t. The Beef dish was awesome!!! The prawns lacked seasoning but were fat, juicy & yummy. <br/>My wife had calamari Maki rolls with rice paper & avo, salmon & cucumber California rolls. She went crazy over her food. Absolutely loved it. <br/><br/>Overall we had a brilliant meal & a fantastic experience. This is definitely one to try. <br/>We'll be back for more without a doubt.

Popped into YuMe for a quick lunch before a show. <br/><br/>It's quite bright and almost stark inside, lacking in much "vibe".<br/><br/>The manager came over and told us about a new drink - the Japanese Sangria. Delicious and lethal! Recommended. <br/><br/>We ordered a selection of different dishes by checking out the items passing by on the sushi conveyor belt and tried a few interesting sounding selections from the menu.<br/><br/>As far as sushi goes, it was what you expect from a chain where sushi has been going around a conveyor belt. It wasn't spectacular, but not bad.<br/><br/>Service was quick and allowed us to have a fairly speedy meal and still get to our show on time.<br/><br/>I just felt this restaurant lacked something. Service, vibe, more interesting sushi would all have contributed to a better score.<br/><br/>

If you want to try sushi out of the ordinary this is the place to be. The have interesting combinations. My cousins and I tried a few salmon, prawn and even beef ones. I also tasted the Indonesian noodles with prawns. Absolutely divine. I will be back here.

Great sushi with lots of choices. The staff are good and will answer any questions. The main meals are rather huge which we did not expect. Great for lunch or a quick easy dinner

When your looking for a good sushi meal with your friends and family Yume is the best spot. Their unique sushi creations and wide range of sashimi combinations for those banting folks will have you wanting more. My fav has to be the hallomi , cheese and avo spring-rolls. The service is great and i always look forward to the white rabbit sweets in my bill. #sushi #yume #health #yume #johannesburg

Their sushi is pretty good! And I have liked everything I have had, except for the potatoe dumpling. Fried pear - like shape filled with chicken curry & prawn. Didn't tickle my fancy! You must try their 4x4 ' s! Love them. Something similar to a John Dory ' s prawn avalanche. They also make a nice cosmo too.

Owww yum! I have only ever eaten sushi here and it is delicious! The sushi is always fresh and made in front of you. You can taste the freshness. It is a colourful, and lively sushi bar. One of the best in jhb. <br/><br/>There is one particular dish that I have no idea what it is called, but it is mouthwatering and left a lasting impression! It is a type of stuffed calamari, with different cheeses. Absolutely divine!

First time eating here. Brilliant sushi bar. Everything tried was good, only tried vegetarian dishes. All really good, from making to spring rolls to temaki hand rolls. Will be back. Nice buzz, nice vibe, nice food.

Once again great sushi for dinner!! This place never disappoints. Yes it might be a bit more pricey but definitely worth it every time!! Definitely try their kawasura rolls !!

Decor is fresh and clean, it's a little bit on the small side,  felt like I was sitting right in the walkway cause inside was full.<br/>Service is good, informative and attentive.<br/><br/>Food was delicious!<br/><br/>Had Dim sum and Sushi and was really yummy!

You Me has become one of those automatic choices. Really good sushi with a wide variety to choose from. The only reason they didn't get a 5 is because of their prices being a bit steep, but all in all a really good spot.

I love YuMe! It is pricier than other "sushi" places but the quality and freshness is obviously the reason for this. They have specials on some nights and the dishes they have are just so different. I like to try something new, that I usually wouldn't try, every time I go there. Service has been great but sometimes a bit slack, it merely depends on how busy it is. One of my favourite sushi places.
Philip Goosen
Great sushi bar. Prices are pretty decent and the portions very good size. The seared tuna is to die for. A hidden treat is their coconut milk! Wow what a treat. One of the beat sushi places in jhb

It's been a long time since we have been here but we were glad to pop in again. As with most sushi places, YuMe is very relaxed and informal. The service is fine, at times a bit slow. <br/><br/>The thing we like about YuMe is how they like to play around with different kinds of sushi. They have a massive menu which includes a bit of dim sum. It's a little pricy so it's worth trying their really different dishes. We really enjoy the deep fried tuna roll, it has a bit of a kick with the chilli on top. The dim sum was a bit disappointing, they are quite small and not as flavoursome as we would have liked.

We went to Yume for the second time on Saturday and am pleased to say we weren't disappointed. We took our friends along and everyone was happy with their meals. Their dumplings were really well prepared and the Seared Tuna Tataki was my favorite. Also enjoyed the 4x4 rolls! Definitely worth a try.

A regular visitor. Great food. Friendly and efficient service. Always a pleasure. Still the best sushi to be had in Johannesburg. Love it!!!
Warren Basel
Interesting and exciting variations of sushi and very tasty. Only problem here I feel that it is way too pricy. Have not yet tried the rest of the menu but I am sure it will be good.
