    We were seated at the bar right in front of the Exec Chef Saran/Jeff, and got to watch him put the dozens of touches on our beautiful and delicious tasting menu dishes. Service was good. I orders a drink I didn't like and they replaced it with another without hassle. Every single dish we were served had some combinations of had fois gras, caviar, Uni, and black truffle on it. Decadent and deluxe for the price we paid.

    Allegedly: "YUME Sushi features a non traditional style Omakase, or in English, “I shall leave it up to you”. A common Japanese practice in restaurants, where diners allow their chefs to exert complete creative freedom in curating their meals." What we found was a menu no different than other local Japanese restaurants: lots of rolls, tasting and starter dishes. (you can confirm here by viewing the menu). There was one difference: prices were 2X found nearby, albeit quality was excellent and portions were 20% larger. But the math does not work for us, sorry. As always, any restaurant that forces us to scan for a menu (drinks menu in this case) signals to us they value Virtue Signaling over customer service. A printed menu shows respect. We value the environment too, but we are also self-aware that the meal consists of killing and consuming fish. As for COVID hysteria, it's over. As for ambience: bland modern with bad acoustics and uncomfortable chairs did not impress. These are our preferences and explain why this will be our one and only visit. OTOH, it was clean, service was attentive and other diners appeared to be content.

    Yume where have you been all my life? I finally discovered my fave sushi joint in nova! Fresh fish is the most important thing when it comes to sushi and Yume is so fresh! Nothing tastes fishy, nothing feels slimy, everything is rich in color and perfect in texture as it should be. I love all the innovative flavors and combos they offer in their specials and rolls. The plating is so beautiful and as an artist I really appreciate the presentation. I also love the modern decor and I have no complaints about their service in the two times I’ve visited. The prices for rolls are actually not outrageous compared to other sushi places but the rolls are smaller which doesn’t bother me because I’m willing to pay more for better quality. So happy to have found this place!

    Excellent, innovative, and consistently high quality restaurant! I'm not a huge fan of the modern decor but it's a very minor and personal-taste issue. They have a good selection of drinks, a well-priced make-your-own menu, and really cool sushi specials. Family friendly early in the evening, at least, but also a cool bar scene. This is one of Arlington's best restaurants.

    The sushi was awesome! The food was delicious and plated very nicely. The staff was also attentive and helpful. If I had to put a negative, I would say that is smelt just a little funny when we walked in. It might have just been all the fresh fish.

    We finally returned to Yume after a poor experience over a year ago. We were wary at first but were pleasantly surprised. The service was speedy, and the music was not too loud this time. I also noticed a significantly better waiter experience. We will be back once again!

    I don’t know why this restaurant is a featured restaurant. We did ala carte and got way more food for less than the prefix menu. They didn’t even allow you to get their best menu items without paying full price. The best thing I ate was the miso soup. The sushi rolls had no distinctive flavor and the steamed shrimp was chewy and overcooked. Left hungry because did not want to order more. The service was excellent and they were very knowledgeable, what a shame. Would not go here again.

    Made reservations for a table seat which was confirmed thru Opentable however upon arrival we were informed there were no table seats despite practically all table seats were all empty???? The receptionist informed me that all table seats were already taken. When making the reservation earlier in the day it confirmed table seat. Yume Sushi is dishonest, disgusting and unprofessional organization that lies to its customers despite having made reservations ahead of time. Being dishonest is absolutely unacceptable!! To add insult to injury … After being served and while we were eating our meal. The Yume Shushi male receptionist abruptly interrupted our dinner to informed us that we will have to leave the restaurant. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE !!!! After contacting the Yume Sushi manager on duty informing him of the absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional staff behavior. I contacted the manager and informed him of what happened and expressed my concern and disgust of such a terrible behavior of the receptionist. He professionally apologize for the unacceptable behavior of the Yume Sushi receptionist. Despite his gracious offer to not charge for the meal. Having traveled great distance to have dinner and having ruin a dinner with my out of town guest is highly deplorable and unacceptable.

    Bartender Max was amazing !! I had the rising sun and my friend had a smoked old fashion. Had a great time with him, drinks were perfect. Our server, and even the manager last night were excellent. Food delic !!! You have to get the creamy scallop roll, yume roll, and the Fatty Toro, it’s not a roll, but soooo damn delic. They were actually out of that (I had it before and LOvED it) so we got the other one. Still good, but you want to the fatty toro.!! Hands down, my fav sushi spot in the DMV.

    The kind of sushi -- both in freshness and in flavor -- that you normally find in NYC or LA. On top of that, intriguing fusion ideas and a fun, varied menu. Even better? Fabulous mixology! What a wonderful surprise YumeSushi is, tucked away and not far from home for us. We'll return happily and often.
