Review: Yume Sushi Bar – A Dreamy New Sushi Destination in Calabasas

If you’re a fan of top-tier sushi and an elevated dining experience, then you need to check out Yume Sushi Bar’s brand-new location in Calabasas. I’ve been a longtime fan of their Studio City spot, and let me tell you—this new location is even more stunning. From the moment you walk in, the upscale and elegant atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable meal.

Let’s talk cocktails—because they are just as much a highlight as the sushi. Beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious, they make for the perfect start to the evening. Whether you’re sipping at their gorgeous bar or lounging with friends, the ambiance is perfect for a night out. They also have an excellent selection of sake, making it a dream spot for anyone who appreciates a good pairing.

Now, onto the real star of the show: the sushi. Yume delivers on every level—freshness, flavor, and flawless presentation. Every bite is an experience, from the vibrant citrus roll to the addictive spicy tuna on crispy rice. The seared salmon sushi with truffle oil is an absolute must-try, balancing rich, buttery flavors with a touch of umami perfection. And if you’re a fan of oysters, theirs—topped with caviar—are simply divine.

The entire experience was top-notch, from the impeccable service to the mouthwatering food. Whether you’re planning a date night or a fun evening with friends, Yume Sushi Bar in Calabasas is the place to be. I already can’t wait to go back!

Obsessed! I didn't think Yume could get better, and then they opened a second location that looks like you stepped into an Arch Digest issue. The food is incredible and easily the freshest of any sushi restaurants in LA; the toro is hands down my new favorite. The ambiance is stunning and the design of every space is so beautifully done. They also have a full bar, which was nice for a sushi restaurant, so we came early to grab drinks and the bartender was friendly and gave us a few recs. The ambiance and vibe feels like a trendy Beverly Hills hotspot in the heart of Calabasas and everything from the food to service is 10/10. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Been waiting for Yume Calabasas to open since I found out that’s what is replacing the Six. The atmosphere was top notch. Service was 5 star. Food was amazing. No fishy taste or smell. If this place keeps it up they will be the busiest restaurant in calabasas. We needed a cute/classy/delicious sushi bar in the area. 5 stars all around. Our new favorite place.

I really wanted to like this place because we love the Yume in Studio City, the food is good, but the portions are small, and the prices are steep for what you get. Normally, I’d be willing to overlook that for quality, but the service completely ruined the experience.

We arrived on a Wednesday night and were immediately asked if we had a reservation. When we said no, the host apologized and said there would be a 30–45 minute wait. That seemed odd since I had called just 15 minutes earlier and was told there was plenty of room at the bar and lounge. When I asked if those areas were full as well, they just repeated that we’d have to wait. We opted to wait the 30-45 minutes.

As we were walking out, suddenly they told us they did have a table available. We walked back in and were shocked to see six empty tables and plenty of open bar seating. Even after we finished our meal and left, those same tables and bar seats were still unoccupied.

The whole thing felt off. We also couldn’t help but notice that we were the only people of color dining there. It was hard not to feel like we were subtly being pushed away, only to be let in once they realized we weren’t going to leave. The whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth, and we won’t be back.

If you’re looking for great sushi with a welcoming atmosphere, I’d suggest going to the Yume in Studio City instead.

We dropped in spontaneously while in town for a business trip. I had no idea it had just opened 4 days prior. First impression was elegant and classy with a deep streak of authenticity.
The food was superb and the fast service even better. The three Japanese gentlemen behind the bar making the rolls were on their game. The standard cut rolls were a little on the small side however they were priced accordingly. Lastly the staff was very pleasant. Come here for your sushi cravings.

Beautiful vibe — Excellent food! Everything we ordered was great but the sea bass soup and the dragon roll are the two we will definitely re-order. Great service. Will definitely be back soon 🤤

The food and service are fantastic. However the design and marketing promise a warm and moody atmosphere. The problem in the evening the lighting is turned upto 100! Quelling any hopes of a romantic dinner or cool night out with friends. 🙁
When asked we were told ‘the older crowd of calabasas like it bright to read the menu’! Really? This is our only cool sushi place in Calabasas that could be great. Please please can the atmosphere be turned up as the food is amazing..
