the inner west’s best sushi
I love sushi. But I really really love Yume Sushi. Located in Drummoyne, Yume has to be the tastiest sushi the inner west has to offer. Better still, the staff are super friendly and it’s reasonably priced for the quality you’re getting. Owner, Daniel, has run the establishment for over a decade and he is…
