Yumeya - Encinitas

The sign says Sake House. This restaurant is by far the best food I visited in North County. It is located on the PCH between Leucadia and Encinitas. You need to make reservations by week and wait for a table when on Friday or Saturday night. They're only open at night. They have a capacity of about 25 people and this is a family business. Parents cook and daughters wait tables. The food is authentic Japanese food where everything they serve is imported from Japan. They have the largest Sake collection in all San Diego and many of their foods are tapas. My favorite dishes are the scallops and mushrooms, the tuna Albacore with Avacado in the miraculous skin and the BBQ beef salad, although I do not eat beef. The dressing is fantastic with a lot of garlic flavor on fresh green. Your spouse or date can always eat beef when you are a vegetarian. The price would be about $20 a person without alcohol. If you go, make sure to make a reservation. Enjoy!
