      Service was perfect and attentive!

      Hoppin' evening with a packed house. Clean and perfect spot in the middle of the restaurant.

      Food was a 5 as always! Tried the fried rice spicy tuna appetizer and it was a new favorite that will be added into the rotation! Nice job!

      We just had dinner here tonight for a friend's birthday! Great rolls, great service! Feel the pricing is a bit high, but then again when is quality sushi cheap?!

      Overall happy with the meal. Do wish we had some better recommendations on the sparking sake and the edamame had so much salt on it, which was strange.

      Would recommend for a nice sushi meal West of Minneapolis, in a cute town - Excelsior. A lot of nice shops and other restaurants in the area!

      Yumi Yumi Yumi I got sushi in my tummy!

      I was visiting a friend in the Excelsior area.We decided to grab some grub.Yumi Japanese won our vote for new place to check out. I love sushi...rice meat, wasabi and pickled ginger! The honeymoon roll with the tuna,crab meat and special sauce was well done! The spicy tuna roll was well made!

      They featured an off the menu teriyaki wings...fried and seasoned to perfection.Service was friendly and quick.

      The restaurant is small so get there early.We sat at the counter where we could see our rolls being constructed.

      There is parking in the back ya'll!

      This place is fantastic! The service was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and very unique. The seating was comfortable and very spacious. I absolutely loved the large kettle of hot green tea. The sushi selection had some traditional options and some very unique items.

      Grab some sushi which was excellent and fairly priced. Parking is available for free other in a lot behind the restaurant or in front of the restaurant on the street. Atmosphere was very casual. Service was great and the server was well knowledgeable about the menu. Will be back.

      I had been to the Edina location many times, so when I found myself in downtown excelsior I just had to stop in!

      Same great menu as the other location and a cozy vibe. A good amount of staff on a Saturday night and a nice turn out of guests, with lots of open tables to go around.

      We were doing a progressive dinner along water street and we had to go for the crispy rice tuna here. It's the best around and comes out of the sushi bar super fast. You can't go wrong with any of the rolls - I especially recommend the Marianne roll (even if you aren't a sushi lover - TRY THIS). As for raw fish rolls: Mexican roll is the BEST.

      The staff and service here was super kind and attentive. I can't wait to stop in again soon!

      Yumi Sushi is a perfect place to try a variety of sushi rolls! They have so many options to pick from and the atmosphere is great.

      There is street parking in the surrounding area and plenty of shops to stop by also before or after your meal.

      It was our first time dining here (on a Wednesday evening) and it did not disappoint. Our server was friendly and the service was quick! Didn't have to wait long at all for our 5 sushi rolls to be brought to our table .

      We got the following rolls and shared it amongst the four of us in our party and it was the perfect amount:
      - #9, 2-14, water roll, rainbow roll, and tonka roll

      We will be heading back here again in the near future!!

      One of our favorite spots. Great service and great food. Every server has been wonderful and always remembers their guests. The menu looks expensive at first but when you see the portion sizes, it makes sense. The rolls are HUGE. The first time we came we thought we ordered enough for two but really it was enough for at least 4.

      Aside from sushi and nigiri, our must haves are the New Zealand mussels and the spicy Tako salad.

      My friends and I love coming out to Yumi every once in a while despite the 25+ minute drive from Minneapolis. Staff is friendly and the sushi is always fresh with big portions!

      Uni with quail egg: always good and always fresh!
      Sashimi - so good!

      Disappointed. We have been here numerous times and tonight was a poor experience. I ordered tempura udon and received the tempura dinner with under cooked rice. Our sushi rolls had too much rice and minimal kampyo. Our server was not engaged.
