If I could give ZERO stars to this place, I would. We arrived at 730 pm and got in the waitlist. We were told the wait time was long, no problem we were okay with it. After waiting 40 minutes, a server came out to let us know there was no more spicy tuna, and crab would be a substitute for it, OK no problem. We got seated at 9pm after one hour and a half of waiting, yes it was a long time but we thought it was going to be worth it. The server came to our table and took our order ACE (All you can eat). After bringing our drinks and another 10 more minutes, someone else came to let us know that ACE was not longer available. This was after ordering and waiting all this time. This person let us know some miscommunication happened between the hostess and our server and that is why we were able to order. Also, this same girl was very unapologetic and insincere, you can tell she doesn’t even care, We asked several servers to call the Manager and no word from her/him. While waiting for the manager, the servers started to bring random food to our table, so at this point we were really confused and upset. A few minutes later the servers let us know they had the wrong table. Everyone else around us kept ordering ACE, while we were the only ones without it. It is now 9:50 and people are still ordering ACE but apparently we are the only ones who couldn’t. Also, the Manager, Chloe refuses to come out and apparently she is on a call with the owner, Kristen. (It is very unlikely this was actually happening). We called four times for the MOD, also waited for 45 minutes after being told we couldn’t order ACE. The server told us the manager call was about getting extra staff for the rest of the year since they are understaffed. I understand policy but it is absolutely unacceptable when you guys do not say anything before waiting for almost two hours. We were here for my fiancé’s birthday and it was absolutely ruined. We are parents of a 6 month old baby which makes it more challenging to go out for dinner due to his sleep schedule. Tonight we took our baby with us thinking we were going to have a good time with family but it was horrible. We are EXTREMELY disappointed at Yummy, the servers, the hostess, and the manager.
If anyone here wants to go to this place. i would recommend arriving 2 hours before and be ready to not eat anything. Thank you Yummy for making tonight the...
Read moreYummy Sushi – A Feast of Views, Not of Service Coronado, San Diego
In one of the most picturesque corners of Coronado, Yummy Sushi greets you with postcard-perfect views and the promise of an “all-you-can-eat” sushi experience that sounds almost too good to be true. As it turns out, it kind of is.
The evening began with high hopes. The location alone deserves applause—a sweeping view of the water that makes even the gloomiest days seem serene. But for all its charm, this restaurant’s allure fades once you get past the scenery.
To be fair, there were glimmers of potential. The bluefin sashimi was exceptional—silky, rich, and fresh enough to momentarily whisk me away from the flaws of the experience. But even the best dishes can’t save a meal bogged down by sluggish service. And slow doesn’t begin to cover it.
For an all-you-can-eat setup, the pacing was downright painful. On average, plates emerged from the kitchen after a 15-minute wait, with the longest stretch—yes, I timed it—clocking in at a head-scratching 32 minutes for a simple order of sashimi. And, lest you think I exaggerate, an avocado roll took a full 40 minutes to arrive. Avocado. No, thank you.
The wait was compounded by confusion. Over the course of the evening, two different servers attended to our table. A small detail, perhaps, but no one informed us about the change, leaving us unsure of who to flag down—or if anyone even remembered our orders. By the time the food arrived, the frustration had effectively killed my appetite.
Credit where it’s due: the music was cool—eclectic and upbeat enough to keep the room lively. And yes, this place was busy, which might excuse some of the delays. But there’s a line between “busy” and “unprepared,” and Yummy Sushi teetered perilously close to the latter.
The harsh truth? A restaurant’s charm and location can only carry it so far. The food, while occasionally good, was not worth the price or the wait. The service—well-meaning but chaotic—left much to be desired.
Would I return? For the view, perhaps. For the sushi, no. Yummy Sushi may be sitting on prime real estate, but if it wants to truly captivate diners, it needs to speed up the kitchen, tighten up the service, and match the quality of its location with an experience...
Read more"Yummy..Sushi!" Those were my words months ago. Those were the days of 5 star treatment and food.
Now, not anymore. Much has changed, they provide an all you can eat menu and hired many new staff members. We were regulars, enjoyed great tasting sushi, great service, and perfect view of the ocean from our table.
2/13 we decided to have an early Valentine's Day celebration. Arrived and was promptly seated by a new server, she gave us menus, took our order. Then, served us saki and seaweed salad. Everything seemed normal. The groups that came in after us got their food. We waited 45 minutes after our order was taken for 2 rolls. The other guests left and still no rolls. We asked for the check and left without food.
2/14 we returned because the sushi is amazing and decided the issues from the day before was a fluke. We sat at the bar this time because it might provide us a better chance of getting fed. The rolls we ordered were not good. The food we had in the past was always excellent. Not anymore. The Three Amigos roll was missing sauce, spicier than usually. Due to the abnormal amount of spice I couldn't tell you, if the roll was made with fresh sushi. Plus, without the sauce to provide a balanced tangy with acidity it was a huge fail. I could have bought that roll from the grocery store, slathered it with soy sauce wasabi and got the same effect. Normally, the spider roll (it's a tempura roll) is served very warm. The spider roll we received was not warm, and it was lacking flavor. I am not sure, what has changed with the flavor of their fish and crab. Maybe they are freezing it? But, rolls are lacking flavor and they way the rolls are made is now inconsistent. Which has caused me to search for a new sushi restaurant. This place has saki, seaweed salad, and a good view...
