The menu was very extensive but we ordered the basics as that just shows the freshness and detail of the chef. They had only 3 types of fish so we stuck with the salmon and avocado makis. The rolls were standard in both size, taste and flavor. I would’ve liked a bit more of the Japanese vinegar flavor in the rice. We also ordered the gyoza, one pan friend and the other deep fried. I’d recommend these as a side order if you’re going with hungry kids as these were the first cooked food to come out. (Of course the sushi maki came out fastest). We also ordered the gyudon which took the longest time to be served, not sure why. Presentation was good and it was quite tasty, I’d also recommend ordering this as a filler although you have to ask them for this first or you’ll end up waiting more than 30 mins for it like us). The kids were most disappointed that there was no miso soup (an important accompaniment to sushi and any Japanese food usually) and the deduction on one star for the service is because the ladies seemed slow to understand our needs. We had to ask for cups for water, ask for spoons when the rice came etc. They seemed reluctant to bring it out for guest use, maybe an instruction from the boss… I saw that a few diners ordered the seared sushi which might be the thing to try if there is a next time. Restaurant environment is basic and we got a table by the window which is nice, with a clean toilet which is very good. So 5...

The ordering was kind of complicated, because some of it was Japanese words, some Spanish like they would use the Japanese word for fried shrimp which makes ordering a bit complicated. They could mark the sweet maki on the menu as well. Everyone seemed to be a little confused on the prices and what they were making, there was no drink menu for example. But I got huge chunks of sashimi which I was happy about. The Chef's made whatever in the end for my...
Read moreI love Yume on Benavides, so I decided to come by this new place they opened on Miraflores. It’s a lot smaller than the original but nicely done. The food was good but I still feel like the OG Yume on Benavides takes this one. If you are in Miraflores by all means drop by this place, and you’ll enjoy it. Our favorites were the crispy rice with salmon tartare on top (that’s how I would describe it). And the crunchy tuna taco. I usually order nigiris and sashimi but on this trip I wanted to try the typical or more commercial items (the did not...
