Sushi is almost religious experience for me. I have had a lot of it in a lot of places. Unfortunately, Yume kinda let me down. While the salmon was very fresh and tasty, the rolls are so small and wildly overpriced. Let's talk about the size issue, because this is more of a deal breaker for me than the price. There is so little in the rolls, and they're the wrapped in so little rice that they don't really stick together and begin to come unwrapped when picked up. I would rather have a roll that is less pieces and wrapped big enough to hold its shape. We also tried the teriyaki beef and broccoli and the meat was inconsistently cooked, some was really overdone. The sauce was also disappointing because it had very little flavor. I get that this is Lodi, but I can get sushi in San Francisco that's not only markedly better, but also cheaper.

Read more1st & Last time. Beware-Check your bank statement. Food was good, the Mgr was nice but it's like any other sushi place. This review is how they don't honor best business practices when you clearly show them your bank statement & how they/their system charged twice.

We will dispute the duplicate charge. So BEWARE their system can malfunction or glitch & charge you double, triple and they will do nothing about it. Honestly you can find the same if not better sushi elsewhere & a business...
Read moreGreat place, authentic ramen for sure. But if you want to discuss options and types, dine in. The website has a lot but can be difficult to navigate, and id you call to take out, any ramen is the same no matter the noodles.
They do close early, so order early, and when they say an hour, that's a hard hour, occasionally going over; this is ot an indictment of the quality, but actually praise for it: it takes awhile because everything is made to order.
There is occasional confusion between the staff foe which order os which and what is going on, but it seems to be a very popular spot doe take out and dine in because of it's authenticity; thus the confusion is well worth it as the are very focused on quality of food. The wine selection is also exceptional with...
