I recently visited Shumi Japanese Cuisine and tried their Teriyaki Salmon and Spicy Salmon Roll, and both dishes were absolutely delicious!
The Teriyaki Salmon was perfectly cooked — tender on the inside with a slightly crisp, flavorful glaze that had the right balance of sweetness and savoriness. The portion size was generous, and it came with fresh vegetables that complemented the dish beautifully.
The Spicy Salmon Roll was just as impressive. The salmon was fresh and buttery, with a nice kick of spice that enhanced the flavor without overpowering it. The rice was perfectly seasoned and held together well, showing real attention to detail.
The presentation was clean and elegant, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, Shumi Japanese Cuisine delivers authentic Japanese flavors with high-quality ingredients and great service. Definitely one of the best sushi spots in town — I’ll be coming back soon!
We came as a family but it’s also great for couples or small groups of friends. Second time coming and will definitely be back!
This time, we were given a single piece of sushi at a time. This is what you typically expect from a high-end omakase experience, but was not what we were used to at Shumi, so it was a nice surprise. Our sushi chef (the waiter said his name was Bruce) was very friendly and told us what each piece was. At the end, he gave us the option of picking one of our favorites to finish the meal, but we went with his choice and it was a delicious uni and toro surprise.
We had a free omakase deal for the birthday (something we signed up for years ago, and they still send every year), so we were wondering if they would go with some lower value dishes, but that was definitely not the case. Honestly, this is probably the best omakase deal you will find at $140. It was just as great (maybe better) than others that have cost us $250.
One improvement: don’t make us use a QR code for the menu! I hate that this trend has stuck around after Covid. The website has a pop-up on it that wouldn’t load well enough for me to click out of. Luckily I already knew what I wanted, but it is not a great way to start the meal.
