The miso soup was forgettable, but I enjoyed the sashimi (chefs choice).
The maki toll (spicy tuna) was quite disappointing, maybe we could’ve got something more flavorful and extravagant.
I think the real wasabi was a nice touch, and the fish was fresh but I think lacked in the presentation.

This is one of the best spots for truly authentic Japanese sushi
We live nearby and order from here all the time — just call ahead, place your order, and take a nice little walk to pick it up.
Super recommended!

Great food, atmosphere, service. Quiet and nice with the open dining room. Had nigiri combo, other sushi, and cucumber salad. Miso soup a bit salty and cucumber salad slightly too acidic for my taste (but was great for my partner’s taste!), but sushi was great, overall 5 star

Pretty cute place and seems popular but unfortunately I did not like the food. Miso soup was weak, I got the dragon roll which I found undersized, boring, and low on unagi, and the ahi poke uramaki which was barely edible covered with this bitter minced garlic.
Tried my friends nigiri which was good, but very underwhelmed by the rolls.

Small neighborhood sushi place that hits the spot and doesn’t drain the wallet. Sure the rice could use a bit of work but the fish is fresh and tasty, I can always get a table, and service is friendly. There’s usually enough parking in the area so it is rarely a problem but you could also take the Muni and hike up the hill.
I’ve tried a variety of items here including the sushi combination and sashimi combination. They also have specials of the day that change with the season. The sashimi combination set comes with rice and miso soup and is good value for the amount of fish they include! Since the sushi selection changes with the season, it’s hard to say what will be available but I’ve found that hamachi is always a good bet. I also like their gari-saba roll (Saba with sushi ginger) which is very refreshing and has a good texture to the sushi.
The rice they use is long grain rather than short grain sushi rice so it’s a little underwhelming in that regard. Or they might mix in long grain as well to keep costs down. They also don’t use fresh wasabi but I wouldn’t expect that for the prices.
There is a decent selection of sake if that’s your thing, and offer them in different sizes as well so you can consume as much or as little as you like.

We got takeouts so the review is about the food only.
Overall everything was quite tasty. We especially enjoyed the beef rolls. The portions were definitely on the small side for the price.

I had such a lovely dining experience at Umi! It is cozy and low-lit, would be a great date spot. The wait staff was very attentive, the food was very fast, and it wasn’t overly crowded (can’t speak for the weekend). The fish was fresh & buttery, and the rice was just decadent!

Ive been to Umi twice now, once with family and once with a friend. Both times was super happy with the friendly staff, but also loved the fish! The nigiri was really nice (good ratio of fish to rice) and the fish is super fresh. Overall feels like a great deal and a great local sushi spot, would recommend:)

I came here on a Wednesday night for dinner. Seating was very easy and they have the option of indoor or a cute covered patio.
We ordered a few rolls and the miso butterfish. The rolls were good, and the butterfish was nicely baked with sweet miso sauce. This is a great no fuss dinner spot with tasty Japanese food and kind service.
The restaurant is on the cozier side and good for date nights or a small gathering. Vibes are casual and could be cute for a casual date night or grabbing a quick meal.
I will definitely be back to try other things!
