    Big fan of yume! Great sushi at really good prices. Only drawback is they don't offer brown rice :(

    I know I know. Enough with the sushi. I'm sorry, I can't help it. When I'm on a kick...well...I'm on a kick. I dropped into Yume Sushi quite honestly by accident. My plans for the evening got delayed and I randomly turned into a parking lot to rethink my direction. Low and behold sitting in front of me was Yume Sushi. Haven't made a good mistake like this in a long time (or at least one I'm willing to share in public lol). Ahem...

    So the sushi was quite delicious and once again I lucked out with fair pricing. The staff was very friendly and overall it was a nice quiet little location. I'll be back again although not until I'm in that part of town again. It was good, but not travel across the city for good.

    What a great little family run restaurant!  It was quite exciting to have it open up in this location.  
    I went in a few weeks ago, not really sure what I wanted and was looking at the menu to decide.  As I was sitting there - the chef pulled out a couple of baked oysters with mozarella cheese - I told him that it looked interesting, and the next thing he gave me one for free!   Talk about fantastic customer service.  
    The sushi is great!  And the prices are right.  Oh - and try that oyster thing... Its really good.

    We have been to this restaurant at least half a dozen times since it opened about a year ago.  While it is no where near the best sushi in town, it is no where near the worst either.  It is generally more affordable than most in town if  your order some $1 sushi/sashimi with your meal.  Some of the rolls are actually quite pricey considering how many pieces you get.  The quality of food is generally good, but sometimes you do get the odd one that doesn't taste as expected.  For example, I thought the special scallop sauce could have been creamier (i.e., with more mayo).  

    Overall, it is not a bad sushi place if you need a quick sushi fix.

    Yume Sushi just opened on August 26, 2010.  I can see this place taking off.  It advertises $1 Sushi/Sashimi!!  Yes, you read correctly - $1 SUSHI/SASHIMI!  

    We ordered the following off their sushi list:
    Special Scallop - pretty good
    Unagi - very fresh and delicious
    Tamago - great!
    Avocado - well-made and smmooooooth
    Shake - raw salmon - a little on the thin side but a fair size - can't complain for $1 / piece
    Inari - great!
    Smoked Salmon - great!

    We also ordered:
    Caterpillar Roll - prawn tempura, avocado, flying fish roe, Japanese mayo - well-blended and satisfying
    Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll - a twist on the usual spicy tuna roll - cornflakes on top of the tuna roll! - adds a crunch to every bite.
    Mixed Tempura - prawns were good; yam ok
    Pork Gyoza - Really good!  Very fresh.  Great dipping sauce.

    All this complimented with a BIG glob of wasabi and a pile of ginger.

    Total bill for 4 people came to approx $60!! (excl tax and tips)

    Looks like a family-run business.  Lots of people stopped by to pick up a menu.  

    Parking could be a problem as the lot is really small.

    Friendly staff, decent prices and cozy ambience made this sushi house stand out. Not top of the line but a great neighborhood treat to have around.

    Overall experience: 3/5

    (1- Terrible; 3- decent; 5- Fantastic)

    I've passed by this place so many times while driving, and I finally got the chance to stop by after my bf and I wanted a snack. What caught my eye the most was their advertising for $1 sushi and I just had to see for myself.

    Yume is fairly small (located in a strip mall next to TD bank) but is large enough to hold a couple large groups. It's a very elegant sushi restaurant with warm, dark, wooden tables, chairs and beige accents that doesn't make it your typical Japanese themed restaurant. We went late in the afternoon so we were the only ones there which was nice. The service is very friendly, and is definitely a family run business. The waiter explained the menu to us and the difference between sashimi and sushi which is informative for a first timer, but unnecessary and a bother for sushi veterans. It was still a really nice gesture of them and I guess a nice way to connect more with the customer. My only complaint was how our water was warm and icky because they didn't add ice.

    Although they may not be Japanese (unless Japanese people speak Cantonese haha) the sushi is pretty decent. The prices for some of their rolls and hot foods are average for Calgary, but their $1.00 sashimi/sushi special is the cheapest I seen in Calgary. We ordered 5 pieces of salmon sashimi, 5 pieces of salmon sushi, white tekka maki roll (white tuna $3.20/6 pieces) and negi toro maki roll (tuna belly, green onion $4.50/6pieces). The sushi is fresh and tasted pretty decent; it was good but not melt in your mouth sashimi goodness. The portion size is reasonable for the price, with each piece being about 3 inches. The rice was properly prepared with the right amount of vinegar and stickiness.

    Overall, I would give this place a visit for CHEAP and decent tasting sushi. It's definitely more affordable than Sakana grill who's sushi/sashimi still costs over a dollar during their happy hour, and at pretty much every other sushi place in Calgary. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very inviting. I would definitely come back to try some of their other items!

    Small, friendly, new and clean.   Nicely prepared sushi and sashimi.  Very casual.

    Had Caterpillar Roll,   Dynamite Roll, Unagi, Shake, Cajun Shrimp, Gyoza, an the omelette things (cant remember the name).     $31 for two.  Parking is not a problem in the evening but expect it would be so at lunch.   Caterpillar begged for a photo, sorry I didn't take one.

    Nice addition to the NW.  For some reason there are few restaurants in the area.

    Late night Craving for Sushi. Went to Yume 15 mins before they closed. Chairs were up and floor was in the process of being mopped. Girl graciously welcomed me inside, and told me they were open for me. I had Green tea while waiting. Ordered: California roll, Smoked salmon w/ cream cheese, House roll, and a roll with tempura. Rolls were good I like the sushi at Yume, and the waitress is friendly and is the kind of server I like to have. Enjoyed listening to the family talking to each other in Japanese was nice ambience. I ordered takeout here a couple weeks ago and it was great and packaged nicely, wanted to check out the restaurant this time it is very clean and well looked after. Thanks for staying open for me Yume - I'll be back for sure.
