Absolutely spectacular nigiri. The specials menu was so good I had to have seconds. The quality of their fish is fantastic, and its priced extremely reasonably. If you like uni you absolutely need to try their uni. ...
Great place for a highquality Japanese food. They have semioutdoor seating area, so could seat with the dog. Loved the service too.
One of my fav spots for sushi! Their handrolls are especially good. I got the golden dragon roll and misoyaki cod as well. The cod was so buttery omg. Friendly staff
I really like it, excellent quality fish especially the Hawaiian Tuna. Small and simple place with great quality. Perfect.
I had such a lovely dining experience at Umi! It is cozy and lowlit, would be a great date spot. The wait staff was very attentive, the food was very fast, and it wasnt overly crowded cant speak for the weekend. The fish was fresh buttery, and the rice was just decadent!
Ive been to Umi twice now, once with family and once with a friend. Both times was super happy with the friendly staff, but also loved the fish! The nigiri was really nice good ratio of fish to rice and the fish is super fresh. Overall feels like a great deal and a great local sushi spot, would recommend
I came here on a Wednesday night for dinner. Seating was very easy and they have the option of indoor or a cute covered patio. ...
We had a great experience. They had a really nice separate gluten free menu including miso soup which you dont always get! They were also super fast and accommodating. Highly recommend.
