This place was excellent! I was welcomed in a warm environment, and I enjoyed the energy a positivity of the staff members. My chef was funny, kind, and a true culinary star. The food was excellent, and made my night. I loved this place and it was convenient for some amazing Asian cuisine. I would give as many stars as possible. This place is legendary. Please come check this place out. read more

I followed a social media trend that suggested the best restaurants have a 3.5 rating, as sometimes people rate the service and not the food. This trend did not hold true for this restaurant. The food was flavorless. The only thing that contained some flavor was the salad dressing on what they passed off as a salad. Now onto the ambiance/service. The chef prepared our food without the fanfare you would normally expect at a hibachi station. It was literally similar to sitting at a lunch counter watching a short order cook prepare our meal. The hostess who served our drinks and collected our payment appeared irritated the entire time. As others indicated the price was higher as they charge extra for hibachi rice and a service fee is included for a party of two. However, the poor flavorless food, boring hibachi show coupled with subpar service is the reason for the one star rating. read more

Came with my girl friend, its been a while we dont get hibachi, unfortunately this place dont meet the standard at all, got the chef as old as hell, dont talk, no interaction, nothing, zero atmosphere, will not be back read more

Come in with a group and having hibachi, the chef is old and no energic, boring and lame, the food is mehhhh, do not recommended this place.

So stop in to have dinner did hibachi the Server Nancy was reaching over my plate to give things to my friend that was sitting beside me. I said it was something to her the first time she did it two more times when it was time to check out, I asked for a sprite to go. They told me it's an additional charge for a sprite so the normal drinks are not free refill. I got my check. I paid the bill. I did not leave a tip since Nancy kept on stretching over my plate to serve my friend. We did give the hibachi Chef a tip, but didn't think Nancy deserve one so as we are walking out the restaurant, the guy with no teeth decide to ask me in front of everybody why I didn't leave a tip for the Server the Server deserve a tip, very unprofessional, very embarrassing. Will never go back again. Poor service. read more

This was my second visit to Yumi because I wanted to give the restaurant another chance after a disappointing first experience. On my first visit, my party of two paid about $96 for hibachi. I ordered the salmon and chicken. The salmon seemed undercooked and had a strong fishy smell that made me question its freshness. The chicken was rubbery and cut into very small pieces. Everything was heavily coated in soy sauce and oil. My salad was drenched in dressing, yet there was very little lettuce. The rice arrived so late that I was almost finished eating by the time it came out. We also had to ask for napkins, and the water tasted off. Later that night, I experienced significant stomach issues and nausea. While I can't say for certain what caused it, the timing was concerning. The server was also unfriendly when we paid, although I will say the hibachi chef was entertaining and pleasant. I returned recently hoping for a better experience. This time, the bill was still over $80 for shrimp and chicken hibachi. Service was slow, and both the chef and food took a long time to arrive. The salad again had very little lettuce. The chicken was better than my first visit and not as rubbery, but it was bland. The rice arrived much earlier than the rest of the meal, so it was cold by the time the food was served. I also noticed smaller portions compared to my first visit. Once the chef finished cooking, I felt rushed to leave. The server quickly brought takeout boxes and began closing out the table even though we weren't finished eating and there were still plenty of open tables. It felt unnecessary and rude. To make matters worse, a dropped takeout order left sauce on the side of my car in the parking lot...mind you I had gotten a car wash around the corner just before this. After eating, I once again experienced stomach issues shortly afterward and had to literally run to the bathroom. Another concern was the cleanliness of the cooking area. I observed food residue being scraped away at the end of cooking, and the grill did not appear particularly clean to me. After two disappointing visits, especially considering the price, I won't be returning. I wanted to give this place another chance, but unfortunately my second experience was not much better than the first. If Yelp allowed zero stars, that's what I would give this place. TLDR; food poisoning, unsanitary conditions and concern of food safety & protocol, not worth the price or the risk. read more

This is our very favorite Asian restaurant The general tso chicken is unbelievable the very best we've had. The service is fantastic and everything is super clean, especially the restrooms What we really like is the eclectic music that they play in the background soothing for eating and interesting We can't think of anything that we would change read more

I stopped here to order lunch to go. They open at 1:00pm but when I arrived at 1:10 they were still mopping the floors and cleaning the restaurant. I ordered the chicken pad thai to go with wonton soup. The pad thai was bland and didn't have the traditional flavor of pad thai that I'm used to. The wontons in the soup were good but you only get 2 and the broth was bland as well. I don't think I will be returning as the food did not impress me. Perhaps their hibachi is better but I've never had it. read more

Yumi in Pelham Manor delivers exactly what you'd expect from a good hibachi experience: great-tasting food, entertaining chefs, and that familiar sizzle of the grill. Everything from the tender steak to the flavorful fried rice hit the spot. The service was efficient, and the ambiance was lively without being overbearing. That said, it didn't quite hit the 5-star mark for me because, while enjoyable, the experience felt pretty standard. There wasn't anything unique or standout that would elevate it above other hibachi spots. If you're craving a classic hibachi meal done right, Yumi is a solid choice. Just don't expect anything beyond the tried-and-true hibachi formula. read more

The food was very good. Felt authentic and not too strong. Hidden Gem that does not disappoint.

I was put onto this spot from some old friends when we had a get together. I was surprised that I did not know about this place, especially since it was not that far from where I live. When I got there, I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The outside wasn't much to look at and the inside seemed a little cheesy, but the there was no wait and the menu was large. The service was good and they did all of the typical tricks, but I really cared about the quality of the food. The food was on point and the leftovers reheat well the next day. I will definitely go back when in the area. read more

This restaurant is welcoming, however, although we were the only ones in the seating section, the service felt rushed. By the time we left, there were several people there at closing so the rushiness was confusing. It made me feel like they were closing but 2 hours later, they were still taking guests. I had the crispy orange beef with brown rice and absolutely do not suggest this. The orange sauce was overtaking the actual meat. The meat was overtaken by the actual /hard batter or crispness. It was like eating chips with sauce. The brown rice was tasteless and was so dry I couldn't swallow it without drinking. I've had Japanese rice and it's been nice, soft and tasty, but not here. As for the drinks, they were good! I wouldn't recommend eating non Hibachi food there I would recommend having drinks at the bar. read more

I only come for the food I know what to expect for service. This is one of the few hibachis other than Benihana's that handle food allergies really well. I do wish they would improve on service lady that served me brought me a dirty glass for my water and never came back to check on me lol. I could of easily left without paying thats how bad her service was lmfao. read more

Yumi - a menu on a wooden table - Japanese Near Me - Pelham Manor, New York

The cooks display unprofessional behavior and a negative attitude when approached for assistance. My group noticed that the stove top was not clean, so I kindly asked one of the cooks if he could clean it before we started cooking. He replied, "What do you mean? It's already clean." However, he eventually cleaned it. Later, when we requested extra soy sauce on the side, he responded with, "No English." read more

I placed an delivery ordered on grubhub. Ordered the hibachi chicken with a fried cheesecake and a sprite. The hibachi as listed comes with a soup, salad, white rice, veggies, shrimp app and then the chicken with noodles. I never got the salad and it literally came with TWO shrimp. Stingy. Stingy. And the cheesecake arrived cold, soggy, and tasted of nothing but batter. ended up peeling all the dough off for her. Also there was No chocolate sauce drizzle or whipped cream like listed (which my daughter was looking forward to). The rest of the food was just okay. Nothing spectacular. read more

Yumi - The best - Japanese Near Me - Pelham Manor, New York

I give it a 3 due to lack of service and the feeling of being rushed. We waited a little over 5 min for our drinks and had to ask the waiter again. The food was really good and the cook was very entertaining. He definitely made our table fun and laugh so much. It was my first time here, but I think I prefer to go to my regular spot, Edos read more

Just like many others I'm an Edo's regular and came here last night because their only availability was like midnight. However, this is my 2nd or third time @ Yumi so I'm not sure why it's not a first thought. Note to self: I have to change that! Yumi is more spacious and gives great portions, you will certainly have some to take home and good prices. The food is extremely tasty and the ladies were very friendly. The chef only did a couple of tricks and wasn't that interactive, but to be perfectly honest we didn't really care. We were ready to eat anyway so we didn't mind. We also enjoyed the fact that they are not always as busy so our party of five was able to be seated alone and wasn't forced to wait for every seat at the grill to filled first. Good spot to check out. Five people dinner & drinks ~$180 without tip. read more

Yumi - The food is really good but i think is expensive just for 2 small plates - Japanese Near Me - Pelham Manor, New York

Overall a very nice place with good ambience and service. Price is very fair. You do get your money's worth. GOOD: * Service. I did not have to wait long for my food (albeit I did go during a brief snow storm) * Drinks: they are generous with the liquor. Always a plus * Chicken Wings. Tasty and not oily. * Decor/Ambiance. Great for date night. Dim lights, but not too dark BAD: * My ONLY complaint was that the beef dumpling with not fully "warmed". I know for these places dumplings aren't made to order, but please make sure they are throughly heated. Besides that I enjoyed the experience and other dishes. read more

Food is really good if you're dining in. Chef was really funny and the food was good and fresh. I had the hibachi chicken and filet mignon. Very good. However, take out is horrible. We ordered the chicken hibachi again. The fried rice was good but the chicken was rubbery and dry. The veggies were soggy and the soup appetizer tasted like sour water. I will go in the restaurant again but I will be avoiding takeout. read more

The atmosphere and decor are nice. Food is good based on what I had and sampled with my dining companion. They make a Nice capirihna which went well with their fire wok. Their appetizers are pretty Standard Fare, however their pineapple fried rice was tasty and not at all greasy. Had a bit of the Sambal combo and that seemed alright but I prefer the fire wok anyday. Their service was pretty rushed with the waitress hovering as we repeatedly asked for more time. She clearly didnt get the hint to give us space. Either way she was pretty Annoying about being present until it was clear we were not going to order anything else. We had to flag her down to get the check and then wait for processing. Our experience would most likely have been much improved with a different staff member. Either way the food and atmosphere are worth going for, just hope for good service or let the host know if you'd like some privacy before being seated. read more

We visited Yumi back in February for my niece's 8th birthday celebration. Walking in the place looks nice and is spacious. It wasn't packed and our party of 9 was seated right away. We ordered food and drinks without delay, it was actually going well until our chef came out.... Now we choose a hibachi restaurant because we were dinning with 5 kids and they love to see the fire and tricks. Our chef however had the biggest attitude ever!!!!! He threw the food on the grill, didn't interact with us at all and didn't do any of the tricks. I complained to the manager who's response was that she had something special for my niece. After our meal was complete they came and sang happy birthday to her, ummmmm is this what's special???? You guys do that anyway!! The same chef then went to the table across from ours (a non African American family) and you would have sworn it was a different person! He was smiling, doing tricks etc. I was heartbroken and after I saw the look of disappointment on my nieces faces it made me feel even worse. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere! Edos is 5 mins away, has better customer service and the food is way better. read more

Manager has a disgusting attitude. If you have anything wrong with your order, he will tell you there's nothing wrong and to just eat it and pay for it. Absolutely, ridiculous. My friend ordered the salmon and chicken. The salmon was overcooked and he insisted it was fine. BUT the fact of the matter is SHE didn't like it. All she wanted to do was just keep the chicken. He made it a fuss. Raised his voice and everything. Couldn't believe it. Bad business Also, If there's a drink on the menu and say it's a strawberry margarita but you want mango. He, the manager, will say NO. You order as is. You can't substitute nothing, it's silly. This is the second time I've been here and will be my LAST. Never again. read more

Beautiful and tasty hibachi spot! I came here for Sunday afternoon lunch with a good friend of mine. I like Hibachi, can't say I have a specific favorite, but the places I have been are mostly outside of New York City and pretty decent.I had never heard of Yumi before this lunch however, my friend assured me I'd be satisfied after our meal, and that I was. Yumi is located within the Pelham Manor shopping center. There was no wait time, but if there was, there are plenty of shops to pass the time. Upon walking in, there is a buddha style statue with a small Koi pond - so beautiful and serene. The rest of the establishment (including the bathroom) are modern and decorated equally as beautiful. There is also a bar with a host of Saki and other good drinks. The owner's obviously spared no expense at allowing this place to stand out among other restaurants in the area. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated at a Hibachi station, initially we had thought the lunch special was offered on Sundays however, it is'nt (bummer) - therefore we switched our seats to a booth. Upon changing our seats, we ordered our food. We did not order any meals, just appetizer.s I ordered the Yumi Chicken wings with a side of Hibachi noodles, and mini spring rolls. Everything was delicious - the chicken and mini spring rolls were hot, crispy, and looked very appetizing. The wings were lightly seasoned and included a side of honey chili sauce; the wings tasted great however, the sauce wasn't very honey like; it was more of a watery consistency and tasted like simple sweet chili sauce honestly, still good though. The spring rolls were filled with vegetables, also delicious and included a similar sauce. I also enjoyed the hibachi noodles, they were flavorful, fresh, and soft. I felt motivated to return and try the hibachi, all off the strength of those noodles - very impressed. My friend opted for an order of Honey Back Ribs and a side of white rice, no complaints. Service - kind, attentive, and friendly staff. No issues or complaints. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend Yumi to others. I would recommend going in the evening to really gauge the feel and decor this establishment as well. read more

The Best I ever had!! This Japanese is like no other!! Everything is great! Great service! Great host and hostess!

It was my first time going to Yumi's. We actually went to Edo's and it wasn't open just yet so someone suggested there. The food was good and the cook was alright as well but the waitress was not customer service friendly for numerous reasons. Here is one of the few. I asked her could I get a extra onions for my plate. She said they do not give extra onions and did I want a side order. I was like I only want about two extra slices to add to my plate!? Which after going back and forth about the onions for about 2 minutes I said yes. After a very tasty (less than half eaten meal) the bill comes out. There is a charge of $7.95 for onions!!! That was outrageous and I called who I am assuming was the manager and she as well was like we don't give out extra onions. You have to pay for extra vegetables because you get vegetable included in your order. $7.95???? Well needless to say I paid my portion of the bill that included the astronomical price for some onions. What did not happen was a tip! The hostess came over and asked us to give the waitress and the cook a tip because it wasn't included in the bill. The waitress was not good and now I feel sorry I didn't give the cook any thing but I didn't have cash or I would have called him back and put the money in his hand. It's to bad he had to suffer for the waitress inaptness because I would have definitely put the tip on my card for the both of them but alas.....no. That was my first and last time I will be going to Yumi's for lunch. read more

Yumi - Hibachi Veg (side) $7.95 - Japanese Near Me - Pelham Manor, New York

Honestly. I normally stay to eat, this is the first time i had a togo order. I was not happy. The hibachi noodles had no taste, I mean nothing like you taste when you eat in. The honey spare ribs was far from the honey taste. My suggestion is eat in. Let them cook it in front of you like the restaurant was made to do. I was deeply disappointed. Don't get me wrong Im not going to stop eating there, It just will not be for Takeouts. #forkgang read more

The food was good. 9/10 I had the shrimp dumpling, and spring rolls for appetizers and Chicken teriyaki with a side of Lo Mein. I liked that there is a separate section to eat if you're not interested in hibachi and having a show in front of you. Only downside was the boba. It was a 0/10 ... disgusting. The tapioca was undercooked and hard. The juice was way too sweet and thick and after letting it sit for a while it starting separating which was quite disturbing to look at. read more

Excellent service and food. Ordered the chicken & steak hibachi. It's a lot of food, and you certainly get your money's worth. The chefs are entertaining and humorous, but at the same time professional. I was amazed to see how much effort is put in keeping the grill clean. But the highlight, was the bathroom! Beautiful design, and extremely clean. You can tell a lot about a place if they keep a clean bathroom. If in area again, will definitely return. read more
