Yuimaru Kitchen is more than a restaurant—it’s a love letter to the art of Japanese cuisine and the warmth of the Johnson City community. Since opening its doors in 2019, Yuimaru has become a go-to destination for those seeking authentic Japanese flavors in a relaxed, welcoming setting. From ramen to sushi and hibachi, the menu is a delightful blend of tradition and innovation, crafted with the freshest ingredients and a touch of creative flair.

The restaurant’s story began when Richard Nguru and his business partner, Ryan Kim, shared a dream of bringing exceptional Japanese dining to Johnson City. Together, they established Yuimaru Kitchen, quickly earning the love and loyalty of the community. When Ryan returned to Atlanta, Richard took on full ownership, infusing the restaurant with his vision of a dining experience that combines bold flavors, genuine hospitality, and unforgettable memories.
