Yumei Sushi - Toronto

Great Korean-Japanese restaurant. We had the Bulgugi lunch ($11) and kalbi lunch ($13) and they were excellent.

I'm happy to report that it seems as though Yumei has gotten it's act togetherI just had a great dinner there tonight, after a very long hiatus.

I think I'd give this place closer to 3.5 stars out of 5I would give it 4 out of 5 stars if we were just rating on the sashimi alone.

I'm not a sushi expert, but as an Asian who studied high-end sushi bar, I leave a reviewIt's a normal Japanese restaurant and there may be very few mistakes on delivery or tempura parts.High-end sushi was not popular in Canada so chef couldn't focus on Omacase menu because lack of customer needs. But his skill is enough and Currently, there is menu for it.I think the mistakes in delivery and tempura are due to the feature of the restaurant business industry, so people are changed frequently in basic cook parts. If you complain to the chef, he'll fix it.Here's my comment on sushiThe basic of sushi is Shari which is suchi rice, and you can know the chef's skills in aging fish.His shari seeks to harmonize the sweet, salty, sour taste and shows a little bit of sour taste adjusted to suit the popular Canadian taste rather than authentic high-and-sushi, which has a strong sour taste.I recommend Maki to beginners in sushi.If a person who likes spicy, sweet, and salty tastes a makki, it will be hard to be satisfied with just one I think the chef knows what popular flavor the people likes because of his long career.The technique of Japanese chef is to express the color, aroma, and taste of fish well after aging at a certain temperature for some time.Salmon is matured well, so it expresses the soft texture and delicate taste well.The tuna here has been appropriately brought out to the point where enthusiasts who enjoy the taste of iron love it. If it's below the maturity level, it won't taste good, and if it's above the maturity level, the acidity is strong and it's hard to find the meaning of aging.The market for omakase is starting in Canada. If demand increases, the price of food increases, and more expensive ingredients are available at Yumei, Yumei has enough ability of switching to Omakase restaurant.You might think it's a small difference that's no different from ordinary Japanese food. The rich people who read this review will understand that they have to pay a lot for the samll difference.Since there is a limit to the delivery, I recommend you visit and taste it in resturant.Chef Young's food will not only satisfy your mouth but will also care your heart.

Me and my friend ordered 50 piece sashimi, and two Uni sushi. They were both so buttery and creamy. Definitely would loved to visit again !
