Yumbii @ Moores Mill

Fusion cuisine is always a hit or miss for me. Here, it's a bit of a miss. The concept is Asian tacos, burritos, rice bowls, and salads (with a few regional specials such as Nashville hot chicken). What seems to make it 'Asian' is the use of gochujang - a Korean fermented pepper paste - as the main sauce. I ordered three tacos - fried shrimp, fried fish, and the tofu - and found that it tasted exactly as I imagined, and not necessarily in the best way. The gochujang wasn't really a nuanced or complex addition to the taco experience. In fact, the one I enjoyed best was the tofu taco, with large cubes of otherwise undressed tofu. As a blander protein (and a more traditional Asian ingredient), it benefitted hugely from the gochujang drizzle, while the other fried proteins were well-prepared yet somewhat incongruously matched with the fermented spice flavor. I found myself frequently wondering if I wouldn't have liked it better with a salsa or hot sauce.

Another miss were the sesame fries. The fries are hot and beautifully crisped, but ruined by the unusual dressing of sesame oil, gochugaru (pepper) flakes, and an inescapable sprinkling of sugar. Yes, sugar. I'm a big naysayer when it comes to sweet flavors creeping into savory foods, and this felt like a case in point. If there had been a choice to have an undressed order of fries, I would've chosen it in an instant because they were otherwise well prepared.

All that said, they hit a home run with the Nashville hot chicken taco. I don't eat meat so I can't speak to these, but my typically un-opinionated husband absolutely raved about the flavor and texture of these.

Yumbii has a few good things going for it. The staff is warm and welcoming, greeting you as soon as you walk in. We appreciatively noticed our server taking the time to bus orders and take empty plates (even though the model seems to be more self-service). The space is inviting as well, with bright lights and plenty of seating. If lines ever get busy, they also offer a choice of order placement - either with a tablet or with a traditional server.

We tried the new Yumbii at Moore’s Mill for a casual Saturday dinner. We were greeted immediately by an enthusiastic employee who explained the menu, the ordering process, and gave recommendations. We used the kiosk to order our food which was easy to use. The food came out quickly and while we enjoyed everything some items were better than others. The freestyle drink machine did not have many options which was disappointing. Our favorites were the sesame fries (AMAZING), the veggie taco, and the Mexican corn. We also tried the sriracha queso which did not taste like it had sriracha in it, the tofu taco which could have been marinated more, and the fish taco which was pretty good. We will definitely be back and try the quesadillas and burritos!

I always get the wings and fries from Yumbii. This new location made them perfectly! Easy ordering, super friendly staff, and delicious food guaranteed! I would 100% recommend this location. The wings are always so delicious and the chips + queso is top notch! My boyfriend enjoys the tacos too! :) If you haven't tried Yumbii fries yet, you need to!

Great spot for a quick bite! So many ways to order- self serve kiosks, registers OR order at table on phone.

Staff was extremely helpful for all my menu questions when i ordered.

Queso shop next door and Yumbii share kitchen and have different menus so check out both.

I got Korean bbq chicken salad. YUM!!!

A California comfort food, fast casual spot to take friends and enjoy unique blends of flavors and ingredients. The Korean chicken nachos were loaded and the tacos were small but flavorful. Try out the power bowls, too.
