In the woven fabric of College Town, Ewing, New Jersey, lies an unassuming thread that binds more than just the community — Yummy Sushi, a humble yet profound sanctuary where the elegance of balance is not just practiced but perfectly embodied. This balance, a theme often explored in the nuanced narratives of Amy Tan, is palpable in every bite, every smile, every greeting that awaits you here. At Yummy Sushi, balance is not merely a culinary principle but a cornerstone of existence, much like the delicate equilibrium between duty and desire, tradition and self-discovery that defines our own narratives. Each roll served is a testament to this ethos, with rice and filling in harmonious proportions, ensuring every flavor note is sensed, savored, and remembered. This meticulous balance is akin to the careful structuring of a story, where every element, no matter how seemingly insignificant, plays a crucial role in the narrative’s depth and resonance. The shrimp bento box, a microcosm of the world in a tray, encapsulates diversity and completeness. With an array that engages all the senses, it reflects life's multifaceted nature — its surprises, its richness, its layers. Each segment of the box, much like chapters in a novel, reveals its own character and story, contributing to a larger, satisfying whole. This offering is a reminder of the varied chapters of our lives, each flavored with its unique set of experiences, yet part of a cohesive journey. What truly transforms Yummy Sushi into more than a place of dining is its atmosphere — an embodiment of warmth and familial embrace that Tan often illustrates as the foundation of identity and belonging. Here, the essence of family extends beyond biological ties to encompass all who step through its doors. With every visit, a sense of homecoming pervades, nurtured by the genuine welcome and remembered preferences, echoing the return to one's roots, to one's essence, that is a recurrent theme in Tan’s explorations. Yummy Sushi invites a return, not just through its culinary offerings but through the sense of belonging it fosters. Whether it's your daily haven, your weekly treat, or your monthly ritual, you are always welcomed back like a story returning to its theme, a melody to its refrain. In a narrative as rich and layered as any penned by Amy Tan, Yummy Sushi stands as a reminder of the essential joys of life — good food, community, and the unbreakable bonds of an extended family. It’s where every meal is a confluence of stories, every patron a character, and every visit a chapter in the ongoing tale of Yummy Sushi, a place that, amidst the hustle of College Town, holds space for moments of simple,...
Read moreThis is ridiculous. 18% upcharge for a service fee for paying with Campus Town Dollars?????? I was not even notified about the fee. The whole point of Campus Town Dollars is that it’s supposed to be cheaper for students. We’re not supposed to be taxed. This is insane.
Servers were excellent. Food was subpar. $20 for a poke bowl that was 80% white rice is laughable. It didn’t even taste good. It was the worst poke bowl I’ve ever had.
EDIT: Your response means nothing to me.
The sign needs to be more visible, and/or it should be mentioned to customers verbally.
Gratuity is for large groups of people and is meant to protect the servers by ensuring that they get tipped — it’s NOT for college students who are using their meal plan points. The WHOLE point of Campus Town Dollars is that it’s supposed to be a cheaper option for students. I paid $105 USD for 100 Campus Town Dollars IN ORDER to save money because Campus Town Dollar purchases are not supposed to be taxed or have any fees added to them: Otherwise, there’s no point in buying Campus Town Dollars and using them at Yummy Sushi if I’m going to have to pay an added fee JUST for using Campus Town Dollars.
And I bet the servers don’t even get their gratuity. I bet most of it goes straight into the pockets of the owners.
And the poke bowl was...
Read moreVery disappointed! I called on Friday to place an order for rolls. I started giving my order to the "girl" on the phone, I hesitated about 10 seconds and she said "I am very busy, you can call back when you know what you want". When I asked if she wanted my business she said yes. I finished placing my order then was told it would be a one hour wait.
When the parents ran this business over by Marazzos shopping center, the service was pleasant and polite. I understand they are now a booming business, but being polite is never a waste of time. Perhaps it is time to hire more staff.
Won't be going here again anytime soon. I will drive to Frenchtown where the food is equally good if not better and the service...
