Yume Kitchen Bristol - Restaurant Review


I must admit, it has been a rather long time since my last blog post- not only has University work taken over my life slightly, but I also thought it's not very interesting for you to read about what life is like in the University of Bristol Geography Library!However, yesterday I went out for supper with a friend to Yume Kitchen (which means 'Dream Kitchen' in Japanese), which is based in the Clifton Down area of Bristol. We had our eye on the restaurant for a while, and we finally decided that we needed a little extravagance in our lives and so decided to make the trip!The restaurant itself is rather small, however whenever I walk past I have never seen it completely jammed packed, so I would say there is no need to book (this is not however a reflection of poor quality food as you are about to hear). The menu has a huge variety, and we both thought that prices were rather good, especially when you compare it to any sushi restaurants you would visit it London such as Nobu or Sushi Samba. I decided to go for a takeaway box (even though I ate in) of mixed fish sushi. This was mainly because I was craving the seaweed and edamame beans that came with this box and doesn't come when ordering from the restaurant menu. I have to say even though not made there on the spot for me the assorted fish rolls were just delicious and really hit the spot. My friend Niamh went for the salmon and tuna nigiri (5 pieces) and the fish maki (12 small pieces). I have to say I did have a bit of food envy as hers did look incredible, and especially as it was made fresh to order for her. She also had a green tea to accompany this, and her bill only came to £11- for the hardcore sushi lovers amongst you will realise she got quite a good deal!

Sushi was not the only thing Yume Kitchen had to offer on the menu- there is also plenty of hot dishes from curries to noodles, as well as multiple different side dishes, drinks and desserts. Unlike many of the cafes/ restaurants in Cotham, Yume Kitchen is open both through out the day and the night, therefore there is no excuse not to check it out. I am already looking forward to my next visit...though I am not sure I will branch away from the sushi on the menu, its was just too delicious!
