My husband and I went with my sister and her boyfriend and this restaurant did not disappoint. We tried many of the dishes but be sure to get the truffle udon with pork belly as well as the kimchi croquettes. We had so much fun at this restaurant and everything we tried was simply amazing. Our waiter Ray offered excellent service, recommended great dishes, and had nothing but nice things to say about his occupation as well as the owners. We’ll be sure to be back to this stable great sushi place with an awesome array of Asian fusion options.

I had dinner at Umi and when I say it was was amazing. The food was 10/10. We had the kimchi croquettes and kanpungi as an appetizer and they were great. For the entree we had the beef short rib, bishojo, and the cilantro. The appetizers were unique and very flavorful. The sushi rolls were exceptional and the portions were fairly large. The short rib was my favorite especially with the sweet potato side. The service was exceptional, ask for Ray if you’re having dinner there for a great experience.

Came to Umi for a birthday dinner and was impressed right way with their amazing staff. They are very friendly and attentive, accommodate all 7 of us comfortably. It was the first time for all of us trying UMI and they make sure it was a memorable experience. Decided to share a table of sushi sashimi with some rolls chosen by the chef. All the food that came out was fresh and rich in flavors. I will be back to try more meals. Others were amazed in how good their fried rice bowls were

It was our first experience at Umi, and it was nothing short of amazing. Mona was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu and recommending different options. The food was exquisite, and we even tried the Japanese soda, which was a fun and unique touch. I’m vegetarian and there were great options for me.
This was truly a memorable experience for our family, one that my children will remember forever. I’m so grateful we decided to try this place. Mona’s friendliness and knowledge made the evening even more special and elevated the entire experience.

Absolutely immaculate service and food. Truly quality, the best food I have ever eaten! The best ramen and the best crème brulee I have tried, and the chefs Oran and Silas were kind, generous, and skilled. I also recommend the croquettes, they’re amazing!!
The service made me and my group feel like royalty. Mona and Emir were lovely and truly amazing at what they do. I was also tended to by Alan, as you can see I was quite spoiled. Another busser or waiter came by to clean up with a smile and great attitude as well, I unfortunately wasn’t able to get his name. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

We came to Winter Park for a photo shoot and wanted to try a new place out. This one had great reviews, so we stopped in. We got the Wagu volcano rock and the Gyoza dumplings, and the paradise roll! They were all delicious. Our server I believe his name was Ray, was an absolute superb waiter, he made the experience just as perfect as the food. We usually joke that you only get 1: Good food or Good service but today, we got both.
We would highly recommend
