Just went there again today
**Uni is a must ☺️
When we arrived in the evening, there was one sushi chef and one server. A couple was seated at the bar, and another couple walked in right before us. Since it wasn’t very busy, we expected the food to come out fairly quickly.
The server was friendly, but there were several service issues throughout the night. She recommended the tuna cheek special and asked whether I wanted it as nigiri or sashimi. I clearly said nigiri. We also ordered a Coke Zero and sparkling water, but she initially brought Sprite instead. After I mentioned it, she corrected it. A few minutes later, she came back again to ask how I wanted the tuna cheek served, even though I had already specified nigiri. At that point, we just assumed she might have had a long day and didn’t think too much of it.
We ordered the sushi and sashimi platter for two. The couple at the bar received food while we were still ordering drinks, and the couple who walked in just before us received their food about 15 minutes later. Meanwhile, we continued waiting.
After about 20 minutes, the tuna cheek nigiri finally arrived. Unfortunately, it was served with sesame leaf underneath the fish, and the sesame aroma completely overpowered the flavor of the tuna. It just didn’t work for me.
After that, we waited quite a bit longer. Another couple came in and sat at the sushi bar and received several dishes almost immediately, while we were still waiting for the rest of our order. In total, it took about 45 minutes for our full meal to arrive.
Presentation-wise, the sushi and sashimi looked great, and the fish itself was fresh and good quality. However, the rice was disappointing — it tasted like plain white rice rather than properly seasoned sushi rice. That was another letdown.
I truly believe this restaurant has potential. The fish quality is there, and the presentation is nice. However, the service needs improvement, and more attention should be given to the fundamentals, especially the sushi rice. I was really excited to try a great sushi meal here, and maybe my expectations were just too high.
I hope they continue improving because the foundation is definitely there.
Me and my mother came back again the next day and it was just as good! The seaweed salad is unique and delicious, with fresh seaweed being served with a house made dressing (the regular imagined salad was there too). I also got the green tea bobba mochi for dessert and its as good as it looks.
Ume Sushi – Destin, FL
Absolutely loved our experience at Ume Sushi! The food was above expectations — everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and took the time to help us pick out some great dishes. It made for a perfect date night! We even ended up buying a Ume t-shirt because we enjoyed it so much. Destin definitely got a new favorite spot for sushi lovers!
The couple who owns it are so kind and clearly passionate about what they do. As a sushi lover, this is easily the best sushi I’ve ever had. We’re already looking forward to coming back and trying more!
Staff is very friendly and did a good job of telling you what you were eating and were it was sourced from.
