Happened upon Yume on my recent trip to Manhattan Beach with my friend and her daughter. The restaurant is very cute and the staff very accommodating. We took my niece and the server was very accommodating on helping us find a dish she might like. He also recommended two rolls we may like both fresh and baked rolls. We ordered the Senorita roll mostly because we liked the name lol It had baked salmon, onion and cilantro. This one was ok not our favorite. The Cherry Blossom Roll was so delicious and buttery. The presentation was beautiful as well. We ended up ordering two of those which includes spicy tuna inside and tuna, yellowtail with green onion and masago, and soy and mustard dressing. read more

Randomly stumbled upon this place as parking was near by, and it ended up being such a gem! I loved the ambiance! There was so much natural lighting in the main dining area. The staff were very kind as well. Price may be expensive to some, but it's definitely worth it in my opinion. My friend and I were full just from this set alone. The sushi was extremely fresh! You can really taste the fish without it being overbearingly fishy. It was clean and cut well. Bonus, look at the beautiful presentation! :) Will definitely be back. read more

Went recently with friends. Staff seemed nice enough but so many staff members interacted with us which in a way was nice because we got to see the team work well together. We felt bad for the trainee who seemed shy and slightly overwhelmed when i asked some questions (before seeing her trainee name tag). Still the service was nice. The food was mouth watering. So much so i didn't get any pictures. We got some bento boxes and a few additional rolls. We were stuffed. The fish tasted fresh and the portions were fair. For this area especially ir felt very reasonably priced Parking is available locally. The immediate parking available is metered but our friends walk from a few blocks over in the residential space. Sometimes residential is easier read more

Huge menu to choose from, including a couple of Korean dishes like bulgogi or spicy pork in a hot stone dish with rice. Very generous portion of salmon teriyaki in the bento box - and it wasn't desiccated. There is metered parking across the street. read more

We were looking for some comfort food on Monday night... I remembered I was here a couple of time and y suggested my wife to visit this venue... the place is very nice... open space with windows and light... because of the hour 8:30 pm, we had two Bento Boxes... to be honest, some 40 years ago, that was my introduction to Japanese food. I had Chicken Tariyaki, Spicy Tuna Roll and the food comes with miso Soup , Salad, Rice and Mixed Tempura. Normita had Spice Albacore Roll and Sashimi with Salmon, Tuna, Albacore and Yellowtail... she had a glass of plumb wine and I iced tea. The service was very good. Our young server did a good job. The price, affordable, very good return for your money. Manhattan Beach. Lovely City. read more

My friend lives up the street and we were being lazy and wanted sushi, so she placed an order through Yelp and we walked down to pick it up and head straight back to the couch. Great standard sushi, with a nice selection of rolls. I guess the website is down, and the Yelp menu was the only way I could scroll the selections, on my phone, which made it not as easy to see everything Yume has to offer. The restaurant itself is super cute and I would like to dine in so I can see the menu in its entirety and not get annoyed with a small phone screen. Prices are reasonable for sushi. Would I go back? Yes! Bonus: great selection Bogus: online menu presence read more

Yu-Me is a new Manhattan Beach Japanese restaurant offering traditional Japanese fare with decent food, great service, an authentic, clean, cozy interior, and reasonable value. Our family of four visited on a Friday evening. We started with the Lemon Special Sushi Roll ($18), a decent but somewhat confused sushi roll with light tuna exterior, a lemon garnish, but spicy tuna interior. While nominally tasty, the light, delicate fish and sour outside was interrupted by the spicy interior, and would benefit from a more delicate interior to allow the lemon to come through. Joining this was the Love Roll ($18), a quite heavy crabmeat and salmon baked roll too rich on avocado. Following the sushi was the Tonkotsu Ramen ($17), which was surprisingly watery and disappointing. Closing things off was the Beef Teriyaki Hot Stone ($19) the highlight of the evening, with perfectly cooked, medium-rare beef over a rich garlic rice. The service and ambiance were excellent; despite being a busy Friday we were seated quickly, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant clean and well decorated. Prices, as above, were reasonable, but not exceptional for unremarkable food. While I was excited this new Yu-Me location had excellent Yelp reviews, I was sadly disappointed by the food. While not bad by any means, it was worse than what the initial Yelp score predicted. More focus on the sushi above and a richer Tonkotsu would have helped this otherwise decent establishment into five-star range. Alas, Yu-Me is just another Japanese restaurant with unexceptional food in an exceptional location. Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5 read more

So this used to be Fusion prior to the pandemic .... The changes are phenomenal. Super fresh, quiet and cozy. Some of the same favorites with a new twist! Cannot wait to try all of the new options!

Five Stars for Yume Sushi! ​Gordon & Kristina here, and we are thrilled to report that the newest addition to Manhattan Beach is a total winner. Occupying the iconic space that once housed Fusion and the legendary H2O Nightclub, Yume Sushi has big shoes to fill--and they've stepped up. ​Kristina and I grabbed seats at the sushi bar for the full experience. The energy was great, the service was top-notch, and most importantly, the fish was incredibly fresh. ​Our "Must-Order" Recommendations ​If you're heading in, here is what Gordon and Kristina recommend from the menu: Dish Why We Loved It The Morningside Roll A local favorite for a reason. Spicy tuna/avocado topped with yellowtail and jalapeño. Perfect kick! Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna Their #1 appetizer. It's a total crowd-pleaser and looks great in photos if you're into the "social media" food scene. The Mystery Roll A unique, refreshing combo of blue crab, mango, and shrimp tempura topped with salmon. Cherry Blossom Roll Hands down the most visually stunning plate of the night. The soy mustard dressing is the perfect touch. Zen Roll Gordon's pick for a "clean" finish--tuna, salmon, and yellowtail wrapped in soy paper. read more

Absolutely delicious! Yume is top tier. Excellent service, and great ambience. We will be back!

Came here with a friend and honestly had such a good time. The service was great, everyone was friendly and attentive. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was so good--definitely one of our favorites. The spicy tuna itself was fresh and flavorful, and everything else we tried was solid too. We also ordered the BBQ beef rib (galbi) and it was really tasty. We liked the crunch tuna as well--the tuna was fresh, spicy, and delicious. The only small thing was that the cracker it came with tasted a little read more

Love this place! My wife and I come here multiple times a month. The entire staff is always so friendly, and the service is always quick. We love coming here because they are open late and all of their dishes are fantastic. We've tried a fair number of their sushi rolls, a lot of their sides, and the katsu. Our normal Friday tradition is to play pickleball then come here for sushi, beer, and sake. They've always got people in there, but I feel like it's never too crowded (at least at the times we go). It has an authentic vibe, too. I like their decor. I would highly recommend this if you're in the area! read more

Amazing Bento Box. This is my go-to place for Japanese food. Fresh and delicious and great service. I only wish the Bentos had a few more options - they recently changed the amount of food and what you could pick. But it's a wonderful place with excellent food. My faves are the black cod and the shrimp crunch roll. read more

Very standard middle of the road Japanese fare. Sashimi was relatively good value but not exceptional quality. Came for dinner with my parents. Shared the most expensive chef choice sashimi with my mom. My dad got a bento box with bulgolgi at a Japanese place. Food was passable but wouldn't say outstanding. I'd rather go to sugarfish down the road. Price was fair but again wouldn't say worth it for the quality or quantity. Come if you'd like but wouldn't have high expectations. read more

Cozy. Food was good. No compliants. Service was fine. It wasn't LOUD like a lot of the establishments on the main road were. After a long race day, it was a great choice. - I got their Spicy Seafood Udon while I believe my boyfriend got the Spicy Kuro Mayu Ramen - I think there were a few more ramens.. but I only see 2 on the online menu right now. Came in July. read more

Fish quality was superior. Came with a large group and everyone loved the hamachi carpaccio. The real star of the show was our server, Jeannie. She bent over backwards to accommodate our obnoxious group and made the whole night so fun. All of us can't wait to come back again. THANK YOU JEANNIE!! read more

My new favorite restaurant in Manhattan Beach! I ordered 2 bento boxes to go for dinner and it did not disappoint! The bento box #1 - chicken teriyaki, sesame chicken and mixed tempura. Bento Box #2 - bulgogi, sesame chicken and chicken katsu. This was a very hearty order, enough to feed 3 people. All of the food was so fresh, the tempura was crisp, the chicken was still fried perfectly. Service - they told me 20 minutes and the food was promptly ready. I am very pleased and will return! read more

The Baseline: For Sushi the fish needs to be fresh, the presentation must be good, there must be a selection of accompanying offerings, and there are unique offerings. Food: The selection of rolls, sushi, bento boxes, ramen, etc. is wide. The sushi rolls are a good size, reasonably priced, and was flavorful. The starters of tofu and green beans were also well prepared and tasty. Service: Maybe it was because the restaurant is going through a recent rebranding, but service was a little disjointed. The staff was friendly and was quick to deliver food once ordered. My water glass was left empty, but it was enough for the meal. Ambiance: The restaurant is going through a rebranding but it has a good environment to dine. read more

Went here for a bday celebration. Was able to call and get a Rez for a party of 8. Had a great time. Service was really good and they were really accommodating. My only critique would be that I think they could update the inside decor. We had a great time and we could tell the people around us did as well. Had some good drinks and really yummy food. I thought it was only Japanese but it's got a lot of Korean items on the menu and many of the servers speak Korean. I forgot to take pic of all the food but highly recommend everything we had. We had a lot of appetizers and oysters! All was tasty. Would def come back. read more

I've been eating here for years and This place has great food and a beautiful patio. It's really disappointing that lately they won't seat anyone there except for dinner service. Especially considering there is a new spot opening right next door (also with a patio), I would think they would want to focus on keeping business but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ there's plenty of other places in Manhattan beach with outdoor seating I'll be moving on to. read more

Wanted sushi and was surprised to see that Yume had 5 stars. Now I know why. Service was fast, it looked like all the servers helped eachother and even though it got busy we never felt rushed or crowded. The restaurant was intimate and welcoming. The sushi and sashimi were sooooooo incredibly fresh. I loved that they allow you to order 2 pieces at a time so you could try everything. I didn't get to try their boiling roll so I'll have to come back. But I highly recommend their salmon blue crab roll. Creamy, soft, melts in your mouth flavor bomb!!! read more

This place has such a cool interior that you don't expect from seeing the exterior. It feels like you are on a ship with all the wooden accents throughout. They also have a full bar and plenty of seating. The service here is straight to the point. We ordered 5 orders of Nigiri. Yellowtail, Amberjack, Red Snapper, Toro, and Bluefin Tuna. These were the biggest nigiri pieces I've ever seen! Talk about getting a bang for your buck! The nigiri was fresh and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the Toro and Yellowtail nigiri. We also got two rolls which were the Benjie and Zen rolls. The Benjie roll was refreshing and had a nice zesty flavor to it. The Zen roll had a good spiciness to it and complemented the tuna well. Overall, this place has a plethora of options and the sushi is extremely fresh. I would come back to try other items off the menu! read more

They know me here I've come so many times for lunch and they are super nice and also very much on top of everything. They just pop up out of nowhere right as you need something. I really dig their menu and love that they have options on their special sashimi items to either get the whole item or just a two piece which helps to try more items which I LOVE. All their items are great and they have a really great selection. The only thing I would like is if they were to have uni more frequently as sometimes they don't. Definitely remains a regular lunch spot for me. read more
