Despite loving the foods here, it's been awhile since I last visited...and I definitely noticed some changes in the menu. Luckily, the foods tasted as great as ever! My husband ordered the Katsu Chicken w/ Miso Soup Combo, and I had the Kimchi Nabe Udon Donkatsu Combo...plus an order of Shrimp Tempura...and again, everything was DEE-Lish!! What's over, as mentioned before, the overall value of this quality meal was unbeatable! Despite near fast food pricing, the foods were so high in quality. Possibly the best, flakiest-crunchiest Katsu I've had in this year?? The thing that was a shockingly bad (no fault of the restaurant) was the crowd that day. It was early Sunday, and it was packed with young teens that were incredibly loud. All the adult diners seemed near shocked at how ridiculously loud they were being. I personally felt that they should have been chaperoned or something. Some of the teems looked REALLY young...like 13 or so? Frankly, they literally ruined the dining experience for everyone there! Still, THAT aside, we thoroughly enjoyed the foods. Since I don't feel that I should penalize the restaurant for the rude, young diners, I'm keeping the stars the same...all 5 stars! Well deserved!!

The staff was a bit reserved but they did warm up as our visit progressed. We ordered a few items from the menu, including a California Roll, Double Shrimp Tempura Roll, Rainbow Roll, Oriental Soy Garlic Chicken, Grilled Shrimp Hot Bowl, and the Grilled Bulgogi Hot Bowl. Everything was fantastic; hot, flavorful, and fresh. Even the beverages were refreshing. The Lemonade was solid. The Peach Green Tea was new to my taste buds, and I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the Virgin Mojito, really nicely balanced and this would be my go-to drink for sure! If you're in the area, stop by and try it for yourself. I would absolutely return.

Outstanding ramen, incredible fresh noodles, and excellent service from Aaliyah…read more Okiboru Ramen Takumen in Duluth was absolutely worth the visit, and honestly, I'm just mad at myself for not trying it sooner. I started with the Okiboru buns (chicken and pork) the crispy gyoza, and the garlic nori fries. All three were a great start to the meal. The buns were soft and fluffy, and the pork bun worked really well with the garlic aioli, soy glaze, and pickled cucumber. The chicken one was good too but the pork one beats it on flavor. The gyoza had a nice crisp to them and came with a shoyu dipping sauce that tied everything together well. The garlic nori fries were also really good, crispy and well seasoned, and a fun side to snack on between everything else along with the garlic sauce to dip your fries in. For my main dish, I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, which comes with rich pork broth, pork chashu, half a soft boiled egg, scallions, and thin Hakata noodles. I also added the thick noodle refill on the side, and I'm glad I did because both noodles were excellent in different ways. The biggest standout here was the noodle quality. You can tell immediately that these are fresh noodles because the texture is just on another level. The thin noodles were fantastic and worked perfectly with the tonkotsu broth, but the thick noodles were incredible too. It's one of those meals where after the first bite you immediately understand why people talk about fresh noodles the way they do. The broth itself was rich, flavorful, and comforting without feeling overly heavy, and the pork in the ramen was very good too. Service was also a big part of why this visit stood out. Aaliyah was incredibly kind and welcoming, and she did a great job making the whole experience feel comfortable from the start. Good food is one thing, but good service is a huge part of what makes people want to come back, and she absolutely deserves a shoutout. The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. I was dining solo, so I sat at a smaller table, but they also have booths and larger middle tables that look like they'd work well for bigger groups. Food came out pretty quickly, and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. And of course, everything got washed down with a Coke Zero. Not fountain, just canned, but it still hit the spot. This was an excellent meal from start to finish. Great appetizers, outstanding ramen, truly impressive noodles, and service that made the whole visit even better. I'll definitely be back.

The "cute" side is very anime themed, even have anime like one piece playing on a projector at the back. The menu is very anime themed with animations as supporting background, but to me it was a little overwhelming. Seemed like there was too much going on with the anime and picture of the food, then the texts were blended into the anime, so it was hard to read the entree description, especially with dim lighting. Only criticism I'd make for improvement is to add more tuna based speciality roles. Majority are salmon. Crunchy salmon or fried something with salmon, I asked the waiter if the chef can make a crunchy tuna roll and he did, but at extra charge. They do have chefs specials and à la carte features like tuna nigiri for $8 for 2 pieces and 3 pieces of tuna sashimi for $12. Staff were extremely friendly and sincere. This one waitress ran after a customer thinking the cash left on the counter was money forgotten by the patron, not tip. The food was decent here and they are open pretty late. Chill and laid back environment to have a decent sushi meal. Will be back to try to omakase next time.

Decorations are all over and it's a cool looking space to be in. Service was fast and friendly. I got the Sakura Bowl. Sashimi in the bowl and ikura was great. It tasted fresh. The only thing I did not like was the ponzu sauce. I think it turned or the balance of the citrus was a bit off, because it was sour and not pleasant. I ended up also getting the monk liver as well, but the ponzu also put the flavor off. I like the dish overall but it seems dull. I probably would have liked a chirashi or sashimi dish more. Sushi seems better to get.

Yumee Katsu is a modern-style katsu spot, and overall, the food is tasty even though I've definitely enjoyed some dishes more than others. My go-to order is the Assorted Katsu meal, and it's a winner for variety, flavor, and portion size. You get a couple of pieces of shrimp tempura, fish katsu, and pork & cheese katsu, plus the option to add a small side of udon or soba noodles. The fish katsu is light and flavorful, and the pork with cheese is a full-on cheese pull party. I also really enjoy their salad dressing and the dipping sauces that come with the donkatsu and fish katsu- they add a lot to the meal. The ambiance has a nice, modern vibe, and the service has always been friendly and welcoming. A small but thoughtful touch: they offer Asian candies for guests, which is a fun little refresher after your meal. Overall, Yumee Katsu is a great spot in Suwanee if you're in the mood for well-executed katsu in a cool, comfortable setting. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.
