Yumei Sushi - Toronto, Ontario

I absolutely love this place! It is my goto (and only sushi place I go to) in the east end! Food is amazing, staff is wonderful and friendly and the vibe of the place is so peaceful! Great place to enjoy a meal with close friends and loved ones! Or ... solo! I highly recommend the avocado salad with salmon, it’s always so fresh! Read more

Yumei Sushi is one of the best local sushi restaurants in the East End of Toronto. The staff are really friendly, especially the sushi chefs at the sushi bar. Make sure to say hi to them when you arrive and bye before you leave! The sushi is consistently good. Their melt-in-your-mouth ... sashimi and sushi (the sake/salmon being a favourite), as well as the age tofu are amazing, and are always fresh. I would also recommend the soy myun soup or udon noodle soups; both are perfect for the winter. My family and I have been going here for over a decade now. I would absolutely highly recommend! The ONLY downside I would discuss is service can be a bit slow, but only because they are always busy! Make a reservation if you want to guarantee one of their beautiful Japanese booth seating options and don’t be surprised if service is slow on nights when the restaurant has every table occupied- because they almost always are!

I have been going here for the better part of 23 years now. I am not sure why I haven’t left a review until now but today the owner and master Chef did something for me that was amazing. As I had finished and paid for my meal I left my ... booth to use the restroom. As soon as Chef Lee saw me leave the booth he waved to me and on my way back I stopped and asked him about a dish they used to serve maybe 15-18 years ago. It was a spicy salad that has since been removed from the menu. It was my literal favourite and the thing that got me hooked on this restaurant. Chef Lee told me he will make me a complimentary salad to see if it’s what I remember. So I went back to the table and told my friends we can’t leave yet. The server then brought over a small salad with the spicy dressing like many years ago. I was so happy and then the Chef told me that if it’s not too busy next time I come in he will make the dish for me. It was so nice that he recognized me as a valued customer and took the time to make me something he knew I liked. I am a customer for life at Yumei Sushi. Thank you Chef Lee 🙏🏻 Read more

Excellent attention to detail that permeates from the decor, to the food, to even the lights near the bathroom. Nice small stalls as an option for a nook like experience for dinner. The salmon sashimi was very very good even compared to a recent trip to Tokyo. Had the ... chef special box which had great selection of food. Highly recommended for the price point. Read more
