| - I came to Yummy Grill and Sushi last night based on recommendations from both friends, and the many high scored reviews here on yelp, and I have to say I was not as blown away as i expected to be. I am by no means a sushi expert. I am fairly new to sushi, so my review is based my personal tastes.
I arrived with my wife just before 9pm. We were waiting on another couple to join us. We were hoping to sit at the sushi bar, as I find it more enjoyable, and enjoy talking to the sushi chefs as they work. The very small bar did not have four seats next to each other, so we sat at a table as we waited for our friends. A server took our drink order, and asked if we were ready to order. I told the server that we were waiting for two more people and we would wait for them to arrive before we ordered. While I appreciate the staff's desire to get our order, we were approached not less than 3 more times (all by different servers), and told them the same thing, that were waiting for friends.
While we were waiting for our friends, seats opened up at the bar, so we moved there. I counted at least 6 chefs behind the bar, and it took several minutes for any of them to greet us. Since we were up at the bar, my wife and I decided to start ordering, My initial order consisted of Ahi Tuna, Crab Roll Sushi and a Philadelphia Roll. My wife is not a fan of sushi, but she did enjoy the crab roll sushi since it was fully cooked. The Ahi Tuna was decent, but a much smaller portion than I receive at other sushi places, The biggest problem I had was with the Philadelphia Roll. It was tiny compared to other Philadelphia Rolls I have had, there was a very tiny amount of rice on the roll, and it was obviously not rolled tightly as it fell apart on the plate, and the rice simply started flaking off the seaweed. VERY disappointed in this roll. My wife actually decided to order another crab roll sushi since she enjoyed the first order so much. To end my experience, I decided to order the Tiger Roll, a specialty roll. It was fairly decent, no real complaints about that.
One interesting situation that occurred was when toward the end of our meal, One of the (less experienced, I assume) chefs was telling a story to another, and he pointed right at my wife and I, while speaking in a different language. The other (more experienced) chef quickly noticed the strange look on our face, and immediately explained he was telling a story about his friends that were sitting in that spot, and did not mean to disrespect us by appearing to talk about us in a foreign language.
If some of my friends really wanted to go to Yummy Sushi, I would probably join them, this place would not be my immediate first choice of Sushi restaurants.
