Yumi review by An American Wolf, where? In London
I speak marginal Japanese, and while on holiday in London from Los Angeles, wanted to eat at a place that would make a Japanophile like myself feel welcomed and at ease.
Yumi did exactly this and more! Walking down into the dining area felt like entering a small dining room in downtown Tokyo. It's no wonder there were several groups of Japanese salarymen meeting there, and the service was near-instantaneous at every moment. The starting servings of tea were very potent, the sake was smooth and relaxing, the food was the best I've had outside of the Land of the Rising Sun itself, and the staff was very attentive (of course, being the male patron of the group, I was also quite pleased with how pretty and beautiful many of the female servers were).
The price was somewhat upsetting, but it was a large meal, and for the atmosphere, service and quality of the food, I imagine that it was worth the weight in pounds as it was. I would certainly recommend this place for anyone who has the money and is open to new experiences. The important thing is to keep an open mind and make an effort to enjoy it. When the staff sees this they will definitely reciprocate this.
