Yum Yum Unconventional — Restaurant in Macerata

Yum Yum Unconventional – disappointing in every way

Yum Yum Unconventional is definitely unconventional—but not in a good way. I travel frequently for work and eat Japanese food at least two or three times a week. This was, by far, the most shocking and disappointing experience I’ve had.

You can’t really call it a restaurant—it’s more like the McDonald’s of sushi. From the outside, it looks sad and uninviting. I had walked past it several times and noticed it was always empty. Now I understand why.

As soon as I walked in, the staff member looked at me almost surprised, as if wondering what I was doing there. I said I wanted to have dinner, and he replied “oh yes, of course,” but the whole interaction felt awkward and unnatural.

When I sat down, I noticed the table was dirty and even the napkin had crumbs on it. I had checked the menu online beforehand and, seeing the high prices, I expected something more refined. Instead, I found myself in a basic, fast-food style place. There’s no paper menu—you have to order through your phone.

I chose a 12-piece uramaki combo to get the best value for money, as I wasn’t very hungry and aimed to stay under €20. I was surprised and disappointed to see that soy sauce and wasabi had to be purchased separately. Charging €0.10 for wasabi seems absurd—it only frustrates customers.

When the food arrived, it wasn’t what I ordered. There were 4 pieces of nigiri included, which I didn’t ask for. They were generously sized, but I didn’t want them. The rest of the order was average in both size and taste—certainly not worth the price.

To make matters worse, everything was served on a camping-style paper tray, which made the whole thing feel cheap. The atmosphere was cold and lifeless. I wouldn’t return.

According to my receipt, I was customer number 11 for the entire day—at closing time. That...

NON CI SIAMO dispiace essere cosi duro con un posto aperto da poco ma sono stato anche buono perche avrei voluto dare 2 stelle.. a cena infrasettimanale. locale piccolino ci sono circa 14 coperti in tutto. siamo arrivati alle 20.15 e gia alle 20.20 avevamo dato l'ordine alla cucina (3 persone). eravamo in 7 in tutto e abbiamo dovuto aspetta fino alle 21.45!! per avere un piatto da 32 sushi, 2 bao e una porzione di ravioli in tempura prezzo 61 euro con 1 birra e un acqua). A qualcuno l'ordine è arrivato poco prima ma in generale a tutti molto in ritardo, purtoppo in 3 non riescono a stare dietro agli ordini da asporto e alle comande interne ma sono comunque lenti. Il sushi in se e per se non è stato di mio gradimento, direi comunque nella media e il prezzo. Morale della...

Sushi particolare e diverso dal classico ristorante all you can eat, in quello in foto c'è anche della frutta sopra, anche la salsa di soia ben fatta. Locale giusto un po' nascosto. Si trova poco sopra la pasticceria di Piazza Mazzini e dietro lo sferisterio. Ci si arriva a pochi minuti a piedi da Piazza Nazario Sauro. Consigliato. Locale accogliente e personale gentile. Ottimo per prendere una cena d'asporto o domicilio visto i pochi posti disponibili...
