sushi umi

not in westboro.sushiumi is a long way from westboro -- it's actually in west wellington, part of the historical hintonburg.

super disappointed at what was once oursushiplace of choice. ordered two party platters and i could have just gone to superstore for the quality i 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 mediocresushiis just wrong. we will not be returning.

fantastic chirashi don. probably the bestsushiwe've found in ottawa after more than a decade eating it only in vancouver. wonderful tender fish, well-seasoned rice, and nice presentation. tempura appetizer was good but nothing special. will be eager to go back.

bestsushiin ottawa for sure! always fresh perfect textures and flavors. try the yaki gyoza for something unique and delicious, the tako yaki is awesome too!

bestsushiin ottawa! i can't wait for my weekly treat! the service is awesome and the location so convenient. give it a try and you won't regret it!

decentsushiif you're in the area, however over priced for what you're getting. the blue crab roll had odd chunks what were way too chewy so i would not recommend ordering that. the atmosphere is cozy, not much room to dine in.

sushi was a little bland but i really enjoyed thesushipizza. the shop was really cute and clean; i liked the atmosphere.

it was my first time trying takoyaki and it was really flavourful. looking forward to trying others.

i visitedsushiumi 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 californiasushipieces. 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 for qualitysushiwithout the overload of calories from an all you can eat.

we really wanted to like it..... after hearing from several people thatsushiumi was a greatsushiplace with the freshest fish, my husband and i had high hopes for this place. unfortunately, our experience here was so poor that we will never return. the service, although friendly, could not seem to handle the very small seating area as well as people coming in/calling in for take-out. people were being told to sit at tables with dirty dishes and the poor server/cashier/cook seemed scattered. we ordered take out (which was supposed to be ready in 20 minutes, but was more like 30 minutes), but decided to have a beer while we waited for it. after waiting for 15 minutes for our beer with no explanation (which i found out that he had to change the keg while multitasking with take out orders/cooking/taking payment/etc), our beer was served to us warm in very sticky glasses. we finally received our take out order and headed home to (hopefully) have a greatsushidinner. these rolls (we ordered 4 different ones) were the smallest we have ever had from anysushirestaurant and the taste was just average. our entire experience was so poor, and i know they have been around for awhile, but my husband and i will not be on their list of faithful followers and will not be returning.

goodsushifor ottawa. we ordered the large party platter and various othersushidishes for takeout as we were having a large get together.

thesushiwas all top notch, the fish was fresh and everything tasted great - we also had the udon noodles which were made well and being vancourites, we couldn't help but to be impressed with the sushi.

the rolls were suitably sized. you're not going to get big pieces of tuna here, but the salmon, mackarel and red snappersushiwas all well proportioned.

overall, an excellentsushiexperience in ottawa.

very enjoyable. i like this little place, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. he won't sell sub-standard fish so some items will be unavailable on very rare occasions - which is better that than the alternative. the ordering process is pretty novel, using an online process on my smartphone. all in all its pretty much what you'd want in a small hole in the wallsushishop.

i've been tosushiumi maybe a dozen times, probably more, i love it, totally unassuming, but not to be mistaken with your typical neighborhood-mystery-fish-sushi-joint that are all too common. this place is legit. where they lack in decor they make up in freshness of fish. and in my opinion the prices are very reasonable, especially at lunch. anyone who says otherwise should go to hokkaidosushiand indulge in their all you can eat barf buffet. only $20? wow! with that being said, the only criticism i have ofsushiumi is that there is maybe some consistency issues, out of the dozen+ times i've been, maybe two times i was disappointed because something was off (sub-par rice, bad tempura). not horrible, just not as good as i know the chef and owner can do and has done most other times i've been there. overall, lovesushiumi!

disgusting. i have been to this place previously (it was terrible, both service and food) and have returned in hopes that it would have improved since it is so close to my house.
to my disappointment nothing has changed except the low class decor.

to top things off, the place is very unclean and thesushilooked like my 2 year old made it.

i will not be returning and i highly recommend people to go elsewhere.
it is a waste of money.

great sushi! one of the best.

consistant, qualitysushieverytime. 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, thissushiis fabulous. i was pleasently surprised by how flavorful their veggie items were, but i love all things salmon, espeicially here.

ho hum. i really truly wanted to like this place. i ordered asushiplatter and specified vegetarian. to my surprise there were a few rolls with crab and something that resembled fish. also, the rice was not at all seasoned. i might try it again in the hopes that this was a very off day for them.
