Yumi Sea Bright

Amazing food and so many great options to choose from. Definitely recommend making a reservation, the place fills up fast. The new pan-seared rice crispy tuna was amazing, ended up ordering 3 of them throughout the night. Everything is fresh and well made, always presented beautifully. It is a BYO so make sure to plan ahead, there are liquor stores down the street on either side of the restaurant. Our server had great energy and made the experience even better. Can’t wait to go back!

Our server made great suggestions. We tried the waygu pan fried dumplings, they melted in my mouth, tasty but wish there were larger pieces of waygu mixed in with the veggies, the warm mushroom salad was delicious too. I loved the warm temperature of the mushrooms paired with the citrusy ponzu dressing. And the ramen was hearty, especially because it was so cold outside. We have been to Yumi many times before and had their sushi. The fish is always fresh. Always an enjoyable meal when we visit.

From start to finish this was the best restaurant experience I’ve had. The staff was incredible and the food was impeccable. From options to flavor to plating…it was perfection. 12 dishes later (yes 12), I was overwhelmed with how good every single one was. I’d come back 100 times over, it was that good! Thank you Yumi!!!

Yumi has been one of my favorite restaurants in the entirety of Monmouth County for the 10+ years I lived in this community. Firstly, the location is gorgeous right by the water. See sunset pic below as proof! Secondly, the menu is absolutely massive, from sushi and other raw fish dishes to items fully cooked from the kitchen, I’ve never had anything here that I didn’t like. Many of the items on the menu are also super innovative - things I don’t typically see at other Japanese restaurants, even in New York City. Thirdly, this place is super buttoned up in terms of service and how the dishes are plated. I love coming here and hope it’s around for years to come.
