Umi sits above the Red Scooter Deli on the 2nd floor at the heart of downtown Paso Robles. It is refreshing to see an authentic sushi/sake place in Paso Robles that overflows with wine and Californian cuisine.
Umi – despite the Japanese word for “sea” – is actually run by a Korean family. Nothing wrong with this and we actually welcome some of the Korean twist and influence such as the spicy pork sizzlers – which is essentially bulgogi.
Given that this may be the only decent sushi outpost in a large radius, the fish was surprisingly fresh. The food was quite good with healthy mixture of veggies in their cooking. And like an outpost, they try to do a whole variety of dishes – rolls, udon, ramen, katsu, etc. – and in general succeed in creating quality dishes. For example, their Salmon Carpaccio with umami oil and jalapeno accent is inching close to a top-class dish. It is clear that the chefs are putting their best food forward.
Now there are 2 things that make this place trip over.
First, the service. We were literally one of the 2 tables that were dining. And there was a dedicated server – a blonde girl – that seemed to be in her first week of the job. Everything was slow as she sat around until I made eye contact. We literally saw our freshly cooked hot dish sit on the counter for minutes before she would go get it. We were really confused because how could the service be so slow and negligent when there was literally 2 tables for lunch. Recommendation is to hire a seasoned server and train the new staff.
Second, there are a handful ingredients that just do not belong in Japanese classical cooking. For example, you should not be putting broccoli on every other dish. It just isn’t a Japanese ingredient that goes well with anything Japanese. The udon had both broccoli and carrots… and chopped onions. This was in an udon. Same goes for the yakisoba. I think the chefs took some liberty in interpreting the receipes in their own ways but you just can’t mix any and every vegetable with certain dishes.
Other than that, Umi is slated to be a hit. Their currenting rating of 3.9 stars doesn’t justify their quality of food, especially at the price point they offer. I can easily see this place being a hot spot for sake and good food, overlooking the downtown square. This place has potential and the chef’s effort is commensurate.

This place is very well located in Paso Robles, with an incredible view of the park and the sunset. My husband and I decided to enjoy the terrace atmosphere, which was very pleasant.
However, we noticed several issues. There were tables that had not been cleaned and broken water glasses left around. The food looked appetizing and well presented, but when I tried the avocado, it was black and spoiled. My husband’s dish was extremely spicy—so much that it was not edible at all.
It’s a nice place overall, but unfortunately the kitchen seems to lack proper food safety and contamination protocols. I honestly think it needs an inspection. It’s not fair to pay for food that is spoiled or impossible to eat due to excessive spiciness—especially when sushi is supposed to be fresh.
What about you? How was your experience at this place?

We had such a wonderful experience at Umi Sushi & Sake for my daughters birthday. After dinner, they graciously allowed us to bring in and enjoy a birthday cake my daughter had won in a raffle, which was more than gracious of them. The food is always fantastic, and every staff member is consistently kind, welcoming, and attentive.
A special shout-out to our server, Kayla, who is always amazing and made it a great visit. The manager went above and beyond by surprising my daughter with a gift card for her birthday, which made her feel so loved and celebrated.
We were happy to share the cake with the staff and are incredibly grateful for their hospitality. This is one of our favorite restaurants, and experiences like this are exactly why. Highly recommend!

I would say about $30-$50 per person. Usually great food. It’s better when they’re not busy. The service usually isn’t the best. You can tell the waitresses/waiters have no experience or training, it’s obvious. Not a very good first impression, but once you get past that. The food is great. I have been here often, had just about everything on their menu, and it’s all fantastic. The chefs definitely know what they’re doing, with that , it’s nice you can tip them separately in front of their sushi window.
The last time I was there, I was ignored while the waitresses were laughing and talking in the back. When she came over I got a wine, in the glass you see there. So that’s when I think ahhh yes, no training here as well. Definitely isn’t being stored correctly so I’m afraid you may be out put about the taste of some of these wines.
I feel like the place needs a new look. Now it’s not an old place. But they could do more with their seating arrangement. They have street-side windows next to some tables, but there isn’t much of a great view out of them.

Miss serenity is the worst server at this restaurant My girlfriend accidentally left her bag there. within 10 minutes of calling and going back to this so-called restaurant. The bag was not there so we asked who cleaned the table. The guy who cleaned the table also said there is no bag. We moved the booths and everything to look for this bag and it was not there. We contacted the manager the following day twice to go over the footage. The time me and my girlfriend went in around 3 p.m. to speak with such manager he was nowhere to be found as he had knowledge of we were coming and still left.And the bag was magically reappeared hanging on a metal rack next to the cash register. Like I said, dishonest childlike people here. magic the bag is back. There’s nothing that’s worth stealing in there Anyways. Serenity and staff who knows she might have gave me a fake name too Miss serenity.
And this is quite concerning as well as my girlfriend received a phone call 1 -2-26 and the manager basically downplayed everything saying that their young servers and they have been written up in the past. like Okay, that’s a reoccurring actions from them. Why are they still working here when they’ve been written up multiple times ,beats me. I guess we’re going to have to contact the better Business bureau and let them know about these instances. Sad

Absolutely hands down the best Sushi place in town! The food was delicious and the service was excellent in every possible way. The fish decor and floor painted to look like water I know my kids will love. Looking forward to our next family visit!

New Paso restaurant, Atascadero prices. Nice selection of sake, Japanese beers, and local wines. Excellent Nigiri quality. Pictures are partial plates because I went to dig before I remembered to take pics.

YUUUMMYYYY!!! Super delicious sushi.
Must try: dancing on fire.
It’s like smoking the sushi with fire so it taste like smoked sushi and it’s really super nice.
The others sushi are also super nice: we tried Godzilla & spicy crunch shrimp.
Oh and the miso soup super super yummy!

I have been ordered the Unagi Bowl for quite awhile now. But recently it seems they keep changing it. It used to come with at least 1/2 an avocado, but now they are being as tight as possible.
Over $20 for a rice bowl and they can’t even put more than 3 paper thin slices of avocado. It’s absolutely ridiculous considering it’s one of the main components of the dish
Use a whole damn avocado for this bowl. I will order this 1 more times, if it comes like this again. Then you lost a customer.
