sushi umi

super disappointed at what was once our sushi place of choice. ordered two party platters and i could have just gone to superstore for thequalityi was served. sashimi was not fresh, rice was most definitely not today’s, rolls falling apart, nigiri rice is so tiny that the fish slides right off, quantity was a straight rip off, wasabi stank like it was forgotten on the counter and everyone was having the worst heartburn afterwards. to pay over $160 for two adults and four kids for mediocre sushi is just wrong. we will not be returning.

i visited sushi umi after a long morning of moving boxes ( we are almost done!!) with a friend. the restaurant wasn't busy at all and was nicely air conditioned which was amazing after a long walk in the sun. we sat down and looked at the menu. a few specials written on a chalk board caught my eye but i wasn't in the mood for something that heavy. i ordered the bento box which came with miso soup, teriyaki chicken, rice, salad, 2 gyoza pieces, and 2 california sushi pieces. everything was to my liking but nothing really stood out and the portion was quite small for 15$. i enjoyed the lovely ginger citrus vinaigrette that came with the salad. my friend chose the full dynamite roll(8pieces) with avocado, tempura, shrimp,masago, and spicy mayo. she was pleased with her selection and commented on the freshness of the fish.
she was still hungry for dessert so she ordered the banana tempura with a scoop of mango ice cream. i asked[stole] for a bite of the ice cream and it was the best mango ice cream i had ever tasted. velvety smooth, rich, creamy, with an explosive real mango taste.
as for the service, the waitress was quite friendly and helpful but was a bit on the shy/awkward side.
i recommend this place if you are in the mood forqualitysushi without the overload of calories from an all you can eat.

neighborhood restaurant , had several takeouts , today we ate there . not the greatest , don't mind spending money forquality, this was a disappointment ! too much $ for what we had . would rather spend this kind of $ at wasabi!! our consensus was not to return !

great sushi! one of the best.

consistant,qualitysushi everytime. i am never dissapointed. straight forward menu, and thoughtful presentation in a quaint, informal setting. the interior is more reminsicient of a cafe than a typical restaurant ambiance, but still cozy and inviting. regardless, this sushi is fabulous. i was pleasently surprised by how flavorful their veggie items were, but i love all things salmon, espeicially here.

satisfies my sushi cravings. i've been a regular customer for over a year now and the restaurant has greatly improved in terms of food quality, ambiance and service. the sushi is always fresh and the chefs prepare the rolls with close attention to detail. whenever i dine-in i sometimes receive orange slices/desserts as a treat after my meal, which is much appreciated. the restaurant is small and doesn't have many tables, but it can accommodate large groups - just try to avoid friday nights when they're most busy. lastly, the service is wonderful: i am greeted with a smile the moment i walk in and the server always checks up on me during my meal. chris, the owner, is friendly and loves to talk about his passion.the prices are reasonable, but for thequalityit is definitely worth it! i don't eat at ayce sushi restaurants that often anymore ever since i discovered this gem in wellington west. :)
