    When we arrived on a Saturday night, we got seated right away. We're a party of 2. We ordered the Yumee Katsu and the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice which were both delicious. The katsu were very juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The restaurant was very quiet overall with diners chatting within their tables so this is a great restaurant if you're looking for something quiet. I would come back here again.

    Chicken Katsu Curry Udon
    Michele L.

    We were actually debating on whether or not we wanted to try Yumee this past Friday, but at the newly opened Castro Valley location. We ended up not going on Friday, but ended up trying Yumee at the Dublin location for dinner today. This location has been established at this location for a while now, and it's in a fairly popular plaza with plenty of parking available. We had a party of six (one toddler), and they don't have too many tables for parties larger than four, so we waited just a bit. Even at peak dinner time, it doesn't seem like wait is too bad since turnover is fairly quick. I originally wanted to try the Curry Udon with Fried Vegetables, but they ran out, so I ended up getting Chicken Katsu with Curry Udon. My partner got a Kimchi Nabe. The rest of my party members got a Curry Katsu Rice, another Kimchi Nabe, and a Cheese Katsu with a side of hot soba (mini) for the toddler. Even though the restaurant was full, food was prepared fairly quickly. I think we waited about 10-15 mins for the full order to be fulfilled. I liked that each of entrees came with sides. My Chicken Katsu came with a small side of soup, shredded cabbage, pickled daikon, and a bit of kimchi. I thought the addition of these sides were really nice to break up the flavor of the entree. My chicken katsu was delicious. It's sliced up in perfect sizes - not too thick or thin. The chicken is still tender, soft, still a bit juicy, and pretty sizable too. But I think what makes this one of the better katsu I've had is that the breading was perfect. The breading covered every outer surface area, and texture was just on point. It's neither too coarse or too fine of a breading. The udon noodles were nice and chewy. And the curry was not heavy, but also has a nice, deep flavor to it. As for the Kimchi Nabe, it was a tolerable amount of spice for me. I can't handle too much spice, but I can usually handle the spiciness from kimchi. The Kimchi Nabe came with a thick katsu. I think this would have been too heavy of a meal for me if I gone for this myself, but I'm just sampling from my partner's plate! The katsu was also pretty delicious, though you don't get as much of the crispy breading with the Nabe since it's all covered in sauce! I like that the Nabe came with not only kimchi, but some other mix of veggies too. I had a few slices of mushroom, and some onions as well. The kimchi also had a very nice deep flavor to it, so I'm wondering if they make this in-house. I can see how this pairs nicely with a bowl of rice. My table also ordered a bottle of beer to share and I love that they had chilled beer mugs ready to go. It made the beer taste extra refreshing. It's these little details like the little side dishes and chilled mugs that go a long way sometimes! A great katsu experience. Although this was my first time trying, I think Yumee has beat all the other katsu places I've tried around the Bay. I just hope that the Castro Valley location is just as good, not only quality wise, but also service as well. The staff here is tentative, friendly, and quick! I think this guy (maybe the owner or manager) even offered my niece a mini Melona ice cream bar at the end of her meal!

    Absolutely delicious! I completely understand why the wait is so long, because my taste buds were having a blast! I came on a weekend and even at the odd hours of 2:30pm, we had to wait 45ish minutes. I loved that the katsu didn't taste like oil. The service was efficient. While the place is quite small, it is well maintained. Can't wait to come back!

    curry with chicken katsu

    Stopped by here on a rainy day with my friends! I ordered the spicy noodle chicken katsu, it was sweet, slightly savory, and was differently unique! I am more of a savory person, so this one threw me in for a loop! I like how the noodles were cold. It tasted great however I definitely was eyeing my friend's curry LOL. There were several customers eating already, our food came out around 10 minutes. Price is decent for the large amount you get. Yumee more like Yummy!

    Curry Katsu Rice
    Julianna P.

    Assorted Katsu Add On Mini Udon -- delicious combo of everything! Love the side dishes of radish, cabbage salad with a citrus sauce and a light soup. I liked the variety of katsu. Shrimp was very light, cheese katsu was nice despite it getting a little cold to not have a cheese pull, katsu was not overcooked and fresh and flakey. Curry Katsu Rice -- curry sauce was delicious and not thick. The same side dishes come with every dish. Overall quick service, delicious food, easy to order through the kiosk.

    The katsu is giant! Curry on the side for maximum crisp.

    We were so lucky when we scored a table for 9 ppl at 12:45pm on a Saturday. It was easy to order on the tablet. Food came out pretty fast. We probably waited less than 10 minutes after we ordered. Food was delicious! Everything was hot and fresh! The portions are quite large. The curry almost taste like bbq sauce. I'm glad I got it on the side. A little goes a long way. There was enough meat for the 4 of us. We just needed to order some udon sides and extra rice. The kids got free melona popsicles after our meal. The owner is so generous! We will be back!

    Katsu Curry Udon

    Came here for a quick bite and tried the Curry Katsu Udon. It was solid and exactly what I was expecting: good comfort food, nothing too over-the-top. The pickle banchan and side salad were a nice touch and really refreshing between bites of the curry. ​One thing to note: you order directly from the tablet at the table, which I didn't realize at first, but it made the service super fast. The atmosphere was a nice surprise too, they were playing K-pop and the place has a much stronger Korean vibe than I initially thought. Definitely a cool spot!

    Ordered delivery and couldn't make up my mind about which protein I wanted, so yay for the Assorted Katsu. You get to try the pork katsu, shrimp katsu, and cheese katsu. I liked it. It was like a momma's home cookin'. Comes with rice, salad, soup, sides of sauce, wasabi, kimchi, and pickled radish - making excellent flavor combinations. I knocked off a star though because even with putting the side of soup in its own little separate bag, it's still spilled so I only ended up with half of it.

    Was in town doing a little bit of shopping and decided to have lunch here. We ordered the Topokki Katsu and Yumee Katsu with a side of udon. Food was delicious. So rich in flavor and oozing with umami. The pork was cooked to perfection and was so juicy. Service was professional, friendly, speedy, and polite. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the areas.

    Pork katsu curry with udon
    Amy L.

    This strip mall is pretty busy with several other restaurants. I've been to a few restaurants in this mall. Every table was full when we arrived, we put in our name and waited about 5 minutes. A menu is on the side of the table that you can order from. We put in our orders and I thought the pork looked a little under cooked so I sent it back asking for it to be not pink. The manager came over and said it was fine but if you want it cooked longer he would send it back. I had the chicken katsu with curry. I liked my katsu curry and want to try the chewy noodles next visit.

    Casual katsu eatery, moderately noisy from background music and other tables. Quality food, plated nicely. Had the Katsu Curry Plate with a small side of udon (shared my meal with the kid). Order by screen at the table, then wait for food to be prepared. A little bit of a wait time as it was a full house even for a Thursday night! Soup / udon broth was on the spicy side and unwanted by the kid. Yummy dinner for the fam!

    It's a small restaurant, gets a little busy and crowded during peak hours in the evening. However, even during busy times the staff is attentive and friendly. The tonkatsu they make here is delicious. The choice of pork they use is very tender, even when it's thick slices. The food is served with small side dishes and a hot soup. It's very well balanced. Try Yumee Katsu if you're in Dublin.

    [IN A NUTSHELL] great korean food, cheese katsu, chewy noodles [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] A great place for some good katsu if you are looking for a place for that. Came here for dinner and it was a great place to have dinner. The place is around other restaurants and the katsu was crunchy and deliious. The highlight to me was the chewy noodles. Most of the time people want more soft noodles but these were so chewy and in my opinion, the best thing that we tried. I thought the cheese katsu would be the best, but there was no cheese pull HAHA. [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.38/5 Shrimp Curry Udon $20.99 (2.5/5) -Honestly dissaoppointed by this dish... The curry was super good and it was more flavorful which I enjoyed. The udon was also good, but I think it was overcooked and became too soft. It broke as soon as I lifted it. The most disspointing portion of this was the shrimp tempura. The batter to shrimp ratio was terrible. There was way too much batter that I thought that the shrimp was grounded shrimp mushed together. After further inspection, I realized that it was just too much batter. I would recommend getting a curry dish, but not this one. ** Yumee Katsu $17.99 (4/5) ** -Pork Katsu Cutlet with Side Dishes -A very good cut of katsu pork cutlet. The crush of the katsu was crunch and I really liked the flakiness of the breading. The pork was super soft/juicy and esepcially good dipped in the katsu sauce (or the curry). I would recommend getting this one but with curry. The salad that it comes with it had a yuzu taste to it that I apprecitaed. They also recommend the wasabi to be dipped with the katsu which I thought was a good flavor profile. Cheese Katsu (6pcs) $11.99 (3/5) -As I right this, I realzied that it said 6 pieces.... and we only got 4 pieces :( rip HAHA -For flavor and overall dish, this one was good and it's always nice seeing a pool of cheese. However, there was no cheese pull and unsure if this was due to the fact that it was cold or if it was not the right type of cheese. The breading was the same as the katsu and I would recommend if you cheese. I also dipped this in the currey sauce which may have made it better since it was lacking some flavor. ** Chicken Katsu Spicy Chewy Noodle Spicy $17.99 (4/5) ** -THE STAR DISH -This was my favorite dish of the night. The chewy noodles were super good. For those who can not handle spice, this was not that spicy to me. The noodles were super chewy and I cannot describe it other than delicious. This is not the typical noodles that you order but I really like the chewyness of this one. I wish that they gave it into a bowl instead

It used to be you can only join where you come near the restaurant. It must be only for busy days like Mother's Day?

Great service by Ariel, she handled everything as a pro, even with the crazy business. Food came out with no delay. The only change that we noticed id the teriyaki beef. The rib eye was usually so tender and juicy, everybody that we invited here were amazed how tender and great they were.

The fried oysters were also a great size and came with two dipping sauces, which was a nice touch. The maze ramen was a big portion and even my toddler enjoyed it. The standout for me was the tempura ice cream--perfectly crisp with a thin, light shell. Service: Our server was friendly, efficient, and very accommodating. However, the host experience was frustrating. The Yelp waitlist wasn't working on a busy Friday night, which seemed to cause some disorganization. We were quoted a 25-minute wait for a party of three, but ended up waiting 45 minutes. During that time, multiple parties of three who arrived after us were seated first. When I checked in at 35 minutes, I was told we were "next," but that didn't seem to reflect what was happening. At 45 minutes, after checking again and explaining how long we'd been waiting, we were seated immediately. It was confusing and especially difficult with a hungry toddler. Parking: Parking can be tricky. The restaurant is located under an apartment complex with limited guest spots on the first floor of the garage. If it's full, you'll have to exit and find street parking (which is minimal) or park across Dublin Blvd and walk. Overall: This was close to a perfect experience. The food and server were great, but the disorganized wait and host interaction took away from it. Hopefully they improve their system for busy nights, especially if the Yelp waitlist goes down again.

I believe the vegetable only tray right off starts around $30 and it goes up from there. But it's always organized in a very nice manner, and you get tongs. Every pot is individual with it inset into the table so there's less likelihood of spilling. You can buy everything a-la-carte, but I would suggest getting one of the packages for 1 or 2 people, and then add-on from there. All of the ingredients seem very fresh, and the sauce bar is very large and gives a lot of selections to create your own crazy concoction for dipping. Generally on the weekend, it's at least a 30 minute wait for a smaller party so be prepared. Service has always been fantastic, and they have implemented a system similar to what you see at the airports these days where you just scan a QR code, and it's tied to your table so you can order and pay directly there without having to flag people down (they are all very nice and friendly if you do happen to need to do that). One of the few places that does the sukiyaki broth, so I would highly recommend that for someone that doesn't really do spicy.
