Yuimaru Kitchen

Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere! Our server, Rico, was wonderful—friendly and attentive. I ordered two sushi rolls, the Crab Rangoon and the Valentines roll, and they were honestly some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Can’t wait to come back!

This was my first visit and it did not disappoint! I had sushi and ramen and they were both 10/10. The staff and service were also superb. I live out of the area but visit Johnson City frequently. I will be back here many times!

delicious food, both dine in and take out! can be a bit loud if you’re not looking to do hibachi but it’s not a big deal, highly recommend 🙂

This was my fiance and I’s first time trying this place out and it was absolutely amazing! Best Japanese food we’ve had in a while and we have tried several different ones. Sushi is one of our favorite meals and their seafood roll was knock your socks off good! The hibachi was just as delicious their filet and scallops were amazing! We got our filets medium rare and it is the best steak we’ve ever had a Japanese restaurant, not to mention a steakhouse! 10/10 all the way ✨✨✨ Should’ve taken photos but wow it was amazing!

The food itself was delicious, so this rating is really about the takeout experience rather than the kitchen. I ordered takeout at 6:00 PM for a 7:00 PM pickup. I arrived right at 7:00 and it was understandably busy. The front entrance/foyer is very small for the volume of customers, so it was pretty crowded. I went up to the hostess and let her know I was there for a pickup. She checked and said it wasn’t ready yet and that I would receive a text when it was ready. I waited in the corner of the foyer. There were about three hosts rotating through customers, and I did notice they still had time to be on their personal phones. While waiting, I saw another customer come in and ask if his order was ready — it was — but he mentioned he never received the text he was told he would get. The hostess apologized and said whoever brought it up hadn’t logged it in the iPad to send the text. A bit later, I noticed a couple of takeout bags placed on the pickup counter. I never received a text. I should’ve asked if one was mine, but I didn’t. About 20 minutes passed with my bag sitting there while I was still waiting in the foyer. At that point, I went up and asked for an update. It turned out my order had been there the whole time. In total, I waited about 30 minutes past my pickup time and never received a text. The host apologized. Again, the food was great. But the takeout process really needs to be looked at, and the host staff likely need additional training on logging orders and communicating with customers. This could have been a much better experience with a smoother system.

We really enjoy this local place for Asian cuisine. there may be a wait for a hibachi/grill side seat, but one can usually get in for just a table. The food is always very good. Lots of variety to chose from. Rolls are great. Drinks are usually pretty good and reasonably priced. Last night our server was Jeremiah, a great server. He's engaging, polite and attentive. Atmosphere gets 4 stars as I wish they had a few more TVs. Sound doesn't need to be up but for those of us who like sports, it's nice to glance up for big games. And the one on the patio needs to be replaced or the cable replaced because it's all blue.

We ate there tonight on the outside inclosed patio. Our server was is sweet, patient, and knowledgeable! She took the time to read back every order to our group. I have celiac, and she made sure to make my teppanyaki with gluten free soy sauce. The portions were huge! She even gave me two portions of gluten free fried rice to make up for the no noodles.
