Reviews
Next, the food started rolling in slowly from the appetizers to the entrees to the sushi and the sashimi. The fish was really fresh. The ramen was really good & very tasty. The salads were refreshing and the portions were just right not too overwhelming. Chris was our waiter & he was really sweet & kind to us. The sushi chef gave us some extra fish as a bonus! We were very impressed overall with the food, service, and the atmosphere. We definitely gonna come back again. These pictures speaks for for itself.
My bestie discovered this newly opened Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles and brought me here to try it out! It’s currently in the soft opening phase, and the moment you walk in, it honestly feels like you’ve been transported straight to a trip in Japan .
I heard the atmosphere is especially nice in the evening—the lighting is dim but soft, creating a cozy, intimate vibe. The interior design is understated yet refined. It’s great for lunch as well, whether for a date or a small gathering with friends ✨
And the best part—they’re open until midnight, which is a huge plus for late-night cravings!
What we ordered (their signatures):
Umito Premium Sashimi (12-piece selection)
Beautifully presented, extremely fresh, and expertly sliced. Every bite feels clean and delicate—the kind you want to savor slowly.
Uni Pasta
Rich, creamy uni flavor without being heavy. Mixed with pasta, it’s incredibly satisfying—definitely a must-order for uni lovers
Yellowtail Sashimi
Elegant plating and refreshing taste. A standout appetizer
Tonkotsu Ramen
Rich and aromatic broth, perfect as a comforting finish. The chili sauce ️ that comes with it is amazing—I even added some to the uni pasta!
Their dishes are very photogenic—not just delicious, but also great for photos .
They also have a solid selection of sake and beer. Sitting here in the evening, eating slowly and enjoying a drink, feels incredibly relaxing.
Another big plus: Parking is super convenient!
There’s a garage in the building with 1 hour of free parking, and you can access the restaurant directly from the garage—rare for this area
(You can even exit and re-enter before time’s up to extend it!)
After dinner, it’s only about a 5-minute drive to LACMA, Urban Light, and the Academy Museum—perfect for a post-meal walk and photos, making it a complete outing ✨
If you love uni, enjoy refined Japanese cuisine, and are looking for a spot that works for both lunch and late-night dining, this place is definitely one to save!
The presentation is so exquisite! The sea urchin and fish roe are scattered on the pasta, making people reluctant to put down their chopsticks ??
Salmon Sashimi
It’s breathtakingly beautiful and has small purple flowers on it, as if it were an artwork??️
Signature Umito Premium Sashimi
It’s truly exquisite and looks great. It’s also accompanied by colorful salts of various colors – ice blue, light yellow, fresh green and black. I’ve never seen such a variety before. It includes twelve different types of sashimi, which can be eaten with seaweed. The seafood soup is also rich and delicious – a mouthful of freshness!
Waygu
You can bake it yourself to control the desired degree of doneness. The beef flavor is extremely rich and the milk flavor is truly delicious
Special Ramen
This black and white ramen has a strong garlic flavor. If you have this bowl during the winter, you will feel very happy ☺️
The environment is very Japanese-style, with a wide variety of sake and beer options. Whether it’s for a gathering with friends or a date, it’s perfect for any occasion.
but the real thing?? the service.
genuinely the best service I’ve had in a long time. everyone was so attentive without hovering, super thoughtful, constantly refilling water, checking in at the perfect times. it felt cared for and not rushed.
food highlights (do NOT skip these):
• salmon crudo — insanely fresh, melt-in-your-mouth, bright citrusy situation going on. so clean and light.
• seafood miso — comforting but elevated, like the coziest bowl ever but still fancy enough for a night out
• negitoro crispy rice — actually addictive. crispy outside + soft rice + fatty tuna = dangerous. we almost ordered a second round
overall:
perfect for dates or catching up with a friend!
The interior feels like stepping into Japan. At night, the warm, dim lighting gives it a romantic, upscale vibe, great for date nights or dinners with friends.
We ordered the Umito Premium Sashimi, Wagyu, uni pasta, bento box, and ramen. The sashimi was really pretty, the Wagyu was tasty and juicy, and the uni pasta came in a big portion and was very satisfying. The Premium Sashimi and Wagyu are must-orders.
They also have a good selection of sake and beer, and the space feels especially cozy in the evening.
Parking is super convenient with an indoor garage and 1.5 hours of free parking.
Overall, solid food and a great atmosphere — especially for late-night Japanese food, and a must if you’re an uni lover.
