Yumi's sushi bar is one of the best on town! Tonka roll is one of my favorites rolls (tuna,yellotail,salmon,white tuna,cilantro,jalapeno and more veggies finish with one touch of wasabi cream) create by chef Gonzalo.Sashimi is good too special on weekend they do have big eye tuna,scalops,toro etc.....Yumi the owner,she is so friendly,that was a best experience !!! We try again soon.....
- Pros: best on town!!!!!!!
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?
Best sushi in MN, maybe anywhere!

I find some of the negative reviews comical and probably written to deter people from going because the wait is long at times. Yumi's place is excellent and she deserves only great reviews!
We have been going for years and it remains the best fish with the best service in MN. Do not go for the atmosphere, it is "cozy" - do not go for the great prices - it is on the spendy side. Go for the amazing sushi that is worth every penny. If it is not too busy (rarely happens) ask for the special sashimi salad from one of the main chefs. It is to die for!
- Pros: Food and Service
- Cons: Cozy atmosphere

Unbelievable sushi can be found in the midwest believe it or not. We found this wonderfully quaint sushi bar that serves the most unbelievable grade and variety of sushi. There is no need to drive into the twin cities. This lakeside community has a gem that we frequent time and time again. The sushi chefs can not only create timeless classics but can also put together some amazing combinations on the spot. The service and atmoshere are stellar. Be aware that the do not honor reservations so there will be a wait especially on the weeknd but it will be well worth it.
not the best but, you'll be judgement

Tight spaces, okay sushi, difficult parking

I immediately saw a familiar face behind the sushi counter. The tables and spaces were tight, definitely not kid friendly, casual atmosphere. The sushi was decent, certainly not the best but there are not many options at that location. I tried a little of everything, including the lobster roll that some claimed to be the best. Not quite. It was a mesh of many ingredients slapped together into a big roll that was difficult to stuff in your mouth in one bite. A bit mushy in texture for my taste. I'll stick to the sashimi if I'm ever in the area again. Slightly disappointed cause I was hoping to maybe find more authentic traditional Japanese food, but that's kind of rare in the Twin Cities. I"ll keep looking. Parking was a challenge.
- Pros: casual cozy
- Cons: too tight
Easily the best sushi in Twin Cities, VERY high quality, GREAT chefs

I've been to at least 12 different sushi bars in the Twin Cities and Yumi's is by far the best. The quality of the fish is consistently high, the selection is very broad, and the chefs are extremely creative and friendly. Yumi's is often better than top-rated sushi bars that I've dined at in San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, and New York. Service is very prompt and attentive. I've been there at least 30 times in the past year and have ALWAYS had a great experience. Be sure to try the specialty rolls, they are fantastic. If you like specific fish or combinations, just tell the chef and he'll create something special for you.

This is the best place on the West side to get Sushi. I recommend sitting at the bar. The Dining room is way to crowded. It is a very small place and you are sitting right on the other diners. This is not a place for romance are serious conversation. You can hear what everyone around you are saying. I was so excited to hear they were going to move to a larger facility, but that fell through. The plus side, is Billy. He is from Mongolia and speaks good English. If you get in good with him, he will make Maki that is not on the menu. One evening he made me a sushi salad. It was mixed greens with three types of Roe and for types of raw fish. It was excellent. Always order the special roll of the night. You will not be disappointed. Out of respect for everyone there, do not bring children. Not a good atmosphere for kids. Come early or late. It gets very crowded and there is no room to wait for a table.
- Pros: Very Good Sushi!
- Cons: Crowded Dining Area. Not meant for romance!
Best service ever!!!

I have been eating sushi since the late seventies, and I have been all over the world. Yumi's sushi is second to none. The fish is as fresh as anywhere I have ever eaten. The chef's need some work on their communication, but overall their skills were excellent. What I was most impressed with was a sever named Nathan. His knowledge was substancial, and he was warm and inviting. He made great recomdendations for both food and beverages. Overall Yumi's sushi bar is the best in Minnesota.
- Pros: Sevice and sushi are hand down the best in Minnesota!!
- Cons: Small restaurant, and limited parking
