Try the bento boxes during lunch. We have ordered the 2-item bento with salmon Yayumi Sushi is my sister-in-law's go to lunch sushi restaurant. They have really great deals on their bento boxes especially if you go there for lunch. The service is very friendly. I'm happy with the quality of the food we like, how you can change the sashimi of your bento box by choosing only fish that you like and the up charge is not too much. read more

Ok - here we go- again and again- I find that the more times I go the more I like this place. It's family owned and they run the show- the waitress is really friendly and very nice- she is very helpful with the menu and is really fast. The salad was chilled - it really brought back good memories and the miso soup was perfect - they arrived really quick to the table. We ordered 3 rolls total and the first roll - tiger - was delivered soon after. The other two came together because one was baked. The lion king is super - I love it hot. The Danville is one of my favorites with the jalapeños. The tiger was on my list and I really wanted to try it. I was impressed. Everything on the vast menu has been fantastic. Everything i have tried has been a win. I like where it's located in San Ramon. Easy access and great parking. It's nice inside and has an open floor plan that allows you to see the kitchen- so that's a plus for me. We sit in about and it's comfortable and roomy for 5 . Everything about Yayume is a win. Price , service, location. Great service from a family owned restaurant is a big plus. Just say yes - you will be happy you did. read more

Went in for an early lunch so it was rather empty. They have lots of seats so large crowds should not be an issue. Our waiter was friendly and the menu has a lot of sushi options to choose from. I order myself a Hamachi nigiri and OMG roll. The fishes tastes good and has a clean taste to it. Will definitely try the other selections they have! read more

Yayume is my favorite Japanese restaurant in greater Bay Area and I've successfully persuaded many of my friends to agree with me. Sashimi is fresh and foos always look so mouthwatering！ I tried many new rolls today. The Salmon Q appetizer has fried rice patty at the bottom with crab meat, avocado and spicy tuna on top. Every bite is full of flavors. Sunshine roll has Chutoro on top and also has burst of flavors. Service is great. I appreciate the ice bucket for the Nigori to keep it cold. Can't wait to try other food next time! read more

Updated review after 2 years, for in-person dining. Yayume used to be one of our favorite spots for a meal right before or after a movie at Regal Crow Canyon. Unfortunately the theater folded and with us recovering from pandemic lockdowns and as busy parents, going out is more of a luxury. I am thrilled that Yayume offers consistently good and fresh nigiri sushi and Teriyaki salmon and chicken entrees. Our 2-yo is a huge fan of the salmon and he can probably eat the whole filet by himself! I do recommend getting the Teriyaki sauce on the side for both dishes, since that way you control the messiness factor and seasoning. Service continues to be friendly. One time they offered a free orange juice for little man and the other time free mango mochi ice cream dessert for everyone. read more

Finally got a chance to try out this place after passing it a few times. We came on a busy Friday night and got seated in a nice private corner of the restaurant. Workers here are nice and efficient. First thing we noticed is the amount of regulars coming and going from this place. Just judging by the greetings and some of them even left with holiday gifts of sauces. Got sat down and noticed the pricing. It was higher than we expected. Yes we were in San Ramon, but it was in a sleepy strip mall that, if it were in a different city, definitely would have felt sketch. Ordered up a couple of rolls and got me one of those sushi combos with assorted nigiri. Food came out quick. Wow. Very impressed with how "pretty" and colorful all the plates looked. Definitely more of a high end type eatery - the fish was super fresh tasting and just melted in your mouth. Everything was so so good, and especially the salmon nigiri. My kid loves salmon and she commented how good it tasted and why she only got two pieces. I told her well, honey, they're $8, let's try something else. We got some of their grilled foods, and while it was nothing to write home about, it was fine. But definitely their fish is the specialty here. You 100% get what you pay for. TLDR-If you're in the mood for some great sushi at moderate pricing, then look no further! read more

Garlic edamame was 4/5. San Ramon roll is our fav!! So good. I want to try it with sliced lemon on top. Honey bunny roll is good. Has a good crunch to it. Cowboy roll is alright. Not a fan of steak with my sushi. The service is great. The food came out fast. The restaurant is clean. read more

Used to love this place. Last time I was there they gave me the wrong order and the canned crab was obvious as well as the overuse of mayo. When they corrected my order they didn't give me condiments and it left a bad taste in my mouth so to speak lol. they weren't very apologetic either. Too expensive for stupid mistakes read more

I've been going to Yayume since before the pandemic, and I am so impressed with their consistency. It's been the same good food for years, and I go here quite often with my friends and family.

Yummy food. Totally calm ambience. I relaxed completely settling into our comfy booth with attentive and efficient service. The place was also spotlessly clean and lovely touches of natural decor You feel really taken care of by these folks. I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of this restaurant which is located in a busy shopping mall center but is an oasis of calm. Will definitely return. read more

This is my second time coming here and I really enjoyed their food. They are open untill 9:30PM which is a plus for me because I usually eat dinner late. Parking was also really easy. They are located in a small lot across from the movie theatures. When I got there a little after 8, there were a couple of parties sitting down but not many people. Upon entering we were greeted and seated super quick. The waitresses working are always super nice and attentitive. Decided to order the sesame chicken entree and salmon teriyaki. Each of these come with a miso soup and a house salad. These were both around 21 bucks which I think is a bit on the high side but reasonable with inflation and it being a japanese place. However both were really good. The Salmon was really juicy and not dry like alot of other places. The Sesame Chicken tasted more like orange chicken but was decent and super moist. They do put the entiree on a big plate so the portion looks super small but the portions are reasonable. Last time I came, I got their sashimi (Salmon and Tuna) and they were really fresh!! I would recommend this place to anyone that is in the area and looking for a place that is open later as many places around the area close around 8:30. Will be back soon! read more

I will start with this. On the table and on the menu, they've taped this verbiage "Please note that all prices may change without further notice". It's taped on the table and stapled on the menus. I didn't think much of it at first. The food was good. We ordered sushi and ramen and it was good. No complaints there. We got our bill and it looked a bit off....didn't think much of it. Anyways, this morning I had a chance to compare and here we go! California Roll: Menu Price $6.95, they charged us +1.00 more Philly Roll: Menu Price $8.95, they charged us +$1.45 more San Ramon Roll: Menu Price $15.95, they charged us $ + 1.00 more Cant they reprint their PAPER menu to reflect the NEW prices...instead of charging what they feel like depending on who the customer is. Not saying that they do it this way but to me, as a customer, that's how I see it. If I'm feeling blue today, then I'll charge $2.00 more....I mean, c'mon! Sorry, my reviews are normally not sarcastic. Anyway, y'all beware when you get your bill. read more

We had the African Spider roll which had soft shell crab, shrimp, unagi and avocado, the 49er roll which is always refreshing with the thin lemon wedge on top, we also got the OMG roll which was super spicy for me. My son got the chicken teriyaki dinner and we added extra gyozas which we always love to share. If that wasn't enough we added edamame and tempura vegetables. Their tempura sauce was probably one of my most faves I've had. Would come back again for sure. read more

Hidden gem in San Ramon. I made a reservation for a party of 9 but when we got there they said they gave our table to another party of 9? They were still able to seat us though and there aren't a ton of tables as it is small inside. Service was great, staff refilled waters and hot teas and food came out promptly. I ordered the lunch bento of chicken teriyaki and tempura and it came with miso soup and salad. I also ordered the sushi deluxe which had slices of fresh fish. Food was yummy and I really liked the tempura batter. Overall would come again for lunch. read more

yayumi sushi - Sashimi Deluxe, Chicken Teriyaki, tempura - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Ramon, California

This restaurant is tucked away in a little plaza, but the fish here is so fresh. Each item they brought us had beautiful presentation as seen in the pics. Ambience (4/5) - it has a sleek look to it with emphasis of the sushi bar. Each item we ordered came out beautifully and the waitress made sure our hot teas and water were refilled promptly. Only thing is that to accommodate more tables, there is not much space between parties. We were reseated due to the floor under our table being too wet. Our new seating was better. Chicken teriyaki (4/5) - the chicken was amazingly seasoned. Some pieces were a little more cooked than other pieces, but overall you cant beat that smoky flavor they have going on. Sushi roll (5/5) - hands down amazing flavor combos. I would def get this again. Sorry it's been a bit so I don't remember the name. Sashimi (5/5) - presentation. Like wow. I really took my time to enjoy the flavors. If you love fresh, quality fish you should get this. 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5 stars! read more

Nice little Japanese sushi place. The service was great, and the sushi and sashimi were fresh and well prepared. I liked the small salad that comes with a dinner combo set. Overall delicious. The amount of salmon was quite small, so I gave some of my tempura to my husband. The air ventilation was not ideal, so we smelled like grilled fish while driving home. They only had bottled beer, but it came with a ice cold cup, which was perfect! read more

Service terrible picking up order vastly overcharged. Lack of understanding because of poor language skills

Scolling through Yelp looking for a new sushi spot came upon Yayume and decided to check it out! Ordered online and they call when order is ready which is cool, saves time. Food: 1.Baked scallop roll {$13.95,4/5 stars} - A baked California roll topped with scallops and sweet and spicy tobikko sauce. Just ok, very spicy and scallops were overcooked and were rubbery. 2.Super California roll {$13.95, 3.5/5 stars} - Looking forward to this roll because I love eel, but was a disappointment. Eel did not taste fresh and lacked the sweet taste of the unagi sauce... very bland. Overall, happy to support local businesses, but food quality and taste need to improve. read more

Sigh.. I gave them another try. Ordered take out beef-don. Here is a photo: the steak on top is raw and uncooked. Good grief.... I could go on about the beef tasting gamey and parboiled... but if it's raw, then that means they didn't even really try. Just too rushed to bother. read more

Low key sushi restaurant in an older strip plaza that opens a little later then other surrounding restaurants. We were nicely greeted when entering the place. Placed our order, and it was done in about 15 mins. The place is not Japanese authentic but is Chinese owned. The fish quality was good, the prices were normal. The chirashi was $25, and the salmon teriyaki was about $17-18. Overall everything was good. Nothing fancy or too exciting, but you definitely get a decent portion that will comfortably hit the spot. The chirashi had slices of 4 types of fish aside sushi rice. Generous cuts although limited variety. I wish the chirashi had a little more variety and presentation, versus more like a sashimi dinner style. Everything was jam packed into a plastic bag. Wish they just packed things more comfortably so I didn't feel like the bag was about to break. Great variety of types of items on the menu, from noodles to dinner boxes to sashimi. read more

I would give this place 10000 stars if I could. Everytime we get the sushi testing, it's so worth it (always toro, sake toro, and the maki is toro) very filling along with one roll. The chef never misses. Ask for a side of eel and spicy Mayo with the roll, so good! Spot is on the smaller size and there's a sushi bar too. Service is great. :) read more

Yayume used to be our family's favorite sushi place in the area for the fresh fish and the wait staff, and after today's visit I can confidently say we are not going back in a while. Yayume must be under new management and the only two things they did right were to keep the waiters and their supplier. However, as a family we noticed a drastic change in the quality of the food being served. We were paying the same price for a smaller portion for example, we ordered the California crunch role and received 8 rolls instead of the normal 14, for about 14 dollars. Not to mention, the role didn't even stay together as soon as my son picked it up with the chopstick. The tempura inside was covered in batter and it overpowered the minimal crab and all he tasted was the deep fried penko and rice. The tempura appetizer as well as the soft shell crab had way too much batter, as if management is attempting to distract their customers from the fact they have skipped out on the portion of their food. My daughter ordered the beef udon, and upon receiving the udon first thing we noticed was the insane amount of cucumber and carrot. If you've ever had udon you know cucumber and carrot do not belong, and the only green that should be in the udon is the green onion. Were there any green onion? We counted 4 diced green onion in total. The beef looked as if they took it out of the fridge and plopped it into the steaming udon and hoped the broth would warm it up. When discovering the beef, it was clumped into a ball, and not to mention there was a small amount of beef. To move onto the nigiri it tasted mediocre, still maintained its hint of freshness but the hamachi tasted too fishy. Ordering the sushi tester, the maki that came with it was incredibly tiny, the size of a thumb. To touch on their ambiance, we listened to a Spotify ad every other instrumental song. It looks like management spent more time selecting their plates than thinking about how to portion their food. And finally, their wait staff, was probably the only part of our dining experience that kept the satisfactory levels I expected when visiting. New management has ruined our favorite sushi place and failed to meet the bare minimum of quality expected in each restaurant. If I wanted over battered tempura, I would've gone to Kura revolving sushi. read more

We have a lot of kids. And these kids love sushi. Could you imagine your parents generation going out to sushi with four kids as if it were no thing? What is this world coming to?! Anyway, we took all these kids to sushi. Each kid gets their own order of California Rolls. Then we order side Super California Roll. They devoured them with copious amounts of sloppy soy sauce. The adults in the group got the Lion King Roll and the Dragon Roll and the Tiger Roll. Of course we shared with some of the children too. The rolls were excellent. We were very happy with our choice to bring the kids. Its a kid friendly location so that is a plus. Our waitress was excellent. She did feel bad for us because of the amount of children we had but we made do. All in all excellent food, excellent service. read more

It was our second time here and it was just as good as the first time. The chicken karaage came out nice and hot, so good! They served it with the Tonkatsu sauce, I would have preferred spicy mayo sauce but it was still delicious. I decided to try the crab salad, and it did not disappoint! Creamy crab combined with a generous portion of avocado along with your typical salad greens topped with a creamy sauce just hit the spot. The lion king roll was delicious along with the A's roll we ordered (nice portions). The salmon plate however was average and the portion size was small. The service was great! read more

We actually ordered from Yayume by mistake, somehow I was thinking of a different place around the area but no harm done it turned out to be a good discovery. It was New Years Day and who wants to cook on New Years Day... LOL After looking over their online menu, I called to place my order and the lady on the other end picked up fairly quickly after a few rings. She sounded friendly enough and took my order of Lion king, Caterpillar, California Rolls, house salad, miso soup and chicken teriyaki over rice. Told me 30 mins and off I sent the hubby shortly after. He said transaction was done right outside the restaurant door, it was easy peasy :) The rolls were all very tasty(great sauces) as is the house salad. It was a basic salad but the lettuce was fresh and crisp along with their own take on Miso dressing, I enjoyed it very much. The thing that caused the takeaway of a Star is the teriyaki chicken, it was overdone and dry, quite a few pieces were charred black but luckily sauce tasted great. All in all, the family enjoyed their meal and I wouldn't hesitate to get takeout from them again. Until next time.... read more

We found this place on Yelp last December and since the. Hubby and I have been here three times and we do not even live i the area but it is worth the drive. Not allowed inside pay at door with clear partition Online orders and can call in orders. The online ordering seem kind of hard to use as it was not working for me. Ended up calling th order in and have continued to do that since it seems to work the fastest and easier for us. So far we have had the following: Titanic roll, Tiger roll, Honey bunny roll, California Salad Gyoza and Girly Man Roll. Everything is always neatly packed and prepared enough for us to go somewhere and have a picnic or just eat in the car. I like to get a different roll each time and they do have many choices! The portions are generous and everything is so fresh! We have liked everything we had so far but we both agree the girly man roll is not our favorite but we still ate it however I don't plan on getting that one again. They do get very busy in the evening hours and there are long waits. We have been fortunate to go around noon when they open and it has not been a wait which we like. They also updated their payment system as well which helps to speed up the process. Be patient with them and support this business if in the area. read more
