Love the sushi. It isn’t many places to choose from in Chalmette, and this my go too. I ordered my fav 3 rolls and noodles every time! I was a little bummed tonight, I forgot to order my spicy mayo and eel sauce. And don’t you hate when you forget, but remember as they swipe the card. And of course I didn’t bring my coin purse. I asked the server if I could have it on the house and she smiled oh so sweetly and said no. Very much in every right to do so. She kindly pointed down to the faded napkin that said .50 for extra sauces. I just simply replied, as less than 15 mins remain on the shift, if they could spare one eel sauce, add they were out of the mayo ,on the house. She again, smiled and said no. I mean hey what’s .50 to someone who spent $27 on a meal. But take this bit of Lagniappe I’ll spare, that would’ve been the perfect moment to make a customer happy with a simple sauce. A .50 expense, my gosh. I’ll remember to bring a purse inside next time I order take out, I’ll have to forget this experience before I return.

Always a fun show, I appreciate any food anywhere, but when it’s cooked right in front of you… Oh… *Chef’s kiss*
Portions are enough for lunch and supper the next day.
Also got a Who Dat and Mid city roll to-go, which were both still great the next day.

Great Hibachi Restaurant. The food is amazing ✨
I set by the Hibachi Grill and placed an order of the Grilled Salmon dinner with Hibachi rice, vegetables, grilled shrimp and a Plum Sake drink.
I love the taste of Sake and tried the Plum flavor for the first time nice and smooth taste.
The cook was very impressive and entertaining while cooking the dishes.
He gave a sample of the rice to make sure it was great to my liking.
I will be back again.
I wish I would have took more photos and even videos. I just realized now I can add video clips to my profile ☺️
Look forward to sharing more details of my next journey.

The food was delicious. The staff was very accommodating. We had our special needs grandchild. Her food diet is very very limited. Tonight she ate shrimp for the very first time (she’s 13) and even ate her chicken meal. They made sure she was comfortable to the point of changing the television for her. Not one condescending attitude. Which is so rare these days.

We stopped by this restaurant to celebrate my husband’s birthday 11/6/18. We’re from Miami and were in town for the week and I think our expectations were too high (We’re used to Benihana). For one, we appreciated the quantity of food we received but the place in general wasn’t too clean. There was a sink right next to our table. The table we sat at was dirty and had rice on the seats! The chef was nice but he cooked our food with an extremely dirty apron.
Our food was decent but not up to par but then again I may have lost my appetite due to the lack of cleanliness. I wasn’t pleased with overall experience but I must say the staff were courteous and again they gave a lot of food.

I come to this location all the time. The food be good every time. When I come in from out of state this place is where I stop or get someone to go get food for me.

I usually only come to Umi for their sushi, which is consistently delicious – I’d recommend their Chocolate City roll (spicy tuna, snow crab, avocado, topped with seared tuna, wrapped in soy paper, and chef’s sauce) or their normal Philadelphia Roll. But we sat at their hibachi table this time. This is how much food I had leftover after eating an entire meal’s worth at the table!
The chef was a lot of fun and the hibachi itself was as good as it gets. And nice service too!
Would definitely recommend.

The food here was subpar. I ordered the chicken/steak combo that came with noodles, hibachi rice, and salad. The chicken was OK, but the steak was tough, which I requested medium well. The hibachi rice was the best dish by far. The noodles, chicken, and steak were drenched in some nasty teriyaki sauce with no other flavors. The salad they gave me was old and brown and half the soup that came with the meal spilled in the bag. AND to top it off there was a roach that wouldn’t leave me alone
