Reviewers consistently praise the quality of the food and the friendly service, making it a popular choice for special occasions.

"Had the most amazing food today at Yumi in Auckland. We had the set menu and we are so glad we did. Got to try bits of everything and it did not disappoint at all. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our new favourite place!"

"We booked the first table on Friday night and arrived at 6 p.m. It wasn’t too busy, and we went for the set menu. The sashimi was fresh, and my favourite dishes were the nigiri sushi and the beef tartar."
