This restaurant is absolutely incredible! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of great energy. The vibes are unmatched—perfect for a night out with friends, a date, or even just to treat yourself.

The food? Out of this world. Every dish is bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The ambience ties it all together—stylish yet cozy, making you want to stay a little longer.

The service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the team takes pride in creating a memorable experience.

If you’re looking for a spot with amazing food, amazing vibes, and an unforgettable atmosphere, this is it. Highly recommend—you’ll want to come back again and again!

UMI by Eden is a hidden gem in Glendale, blending upscale ambiance with creative fusion cuisine. The 1st and 2nd floors serve as elegant private event venues, while the 3rd floor offers a rooftop space perfect for unwinding.

Drinks:
Their handcrafted cocktails are as beautiful as they are delicious.
• Gin Base – Maracuya with yuzu: light, refreshing, and citrusy.
• Whiskey Base – Matcha Sour: unique and smooth.
• Lychee Martini: a house favorite that’s both fragrant and balanced.

Food:
The menu fuses sushi, American bites, and entrees, making it perfect for date nights or a night out with friends. Must-tries include:
• Burger Crunch – bite-sized burgers with crispy onion, perfect with cocktails.
• Tuna Crispy Rice – real Hawaiian tuna over perfectly crisp rice.
• Yellowtail Jalapeño – fresh sashimi with a mild kick.
• Baked Snow Crab – rich, real snow crab flavor.
• Summer Black Truffle Pasta – creamy with fresh black truffle on top.

For dessert, don’t miss the handmade Dubai chocolate strawberries — sweet, tart, and paired with crunchy pistachio for a satisfying finish.

Parking: Street meters and nearby residential parking are available, or you can use their valet service.

Delicious sushi and serious cocktails, it exceeded all expectations. Spicy tuna melts in your mouth and is actually spicy but tolerable.

The main dish was priced at $24.00. Following the main dish, we were served appetizers, which cost us over $20. Despite the high cost, the plates were empty. Additionally, we were charged $10 for water, which tasted no different than what one could purchase at Costco for $1.00

Overall a great dining experience! The ambience is great and the staff was really kind. The best part was the sushi. The sushi and the hand rolls we tried were phenomenal. They tasted fresh and some had unique flavors. The uni toast was one of a kind and delicious. I am looking forward to coming back and trying other things on the menu!

Go now before you can’t book a reservation! The food was fabulous and as much as I want to hide this gem, I would be riddled with guilt if I don’t tell you! My partner and I were thinking of shopping at the Americana and decided to come by last Sunday based on the reviews.

Highlights:

Blue Fin Tuna Sashimi was spectacularly beautiful and I appreciated how the fish was the main character, not hiding behind sauce, though the Halibut sashimi drowned in the peruvian sauce lived up to the hype. Not going to lie, the squid ink chips on the blue fin sashimi scared me haha.

Wagyu tartar sounded so different than the other appetizers, and the taste was so intriguing! I dont know how to describe it outside of you just have to trust the process and let yourself enjoy the moment. The cheesy truffle bread was my favorite part. 🙂

The blue fin toro is a deeply vibrant, almost maroon shade with a soft, buttery texture. The sushi is topped with a pungent, umami kizami wasabi. The otoro is surprisingly cheap, as I wish everything else was… a girl can dream!

The server almost broke my heart when she said they sold out of uni… how are you going to let me be teased by the photos I saw? That being said, the nice sushi chefs, Paul and Un sent over the last bit of their uni since they didnt have enough for the Uni Toast we wanted to try, but did have enough for our Toro hand roll I fought my partner for on the last bite. And they sent us a sample size of amother sashimi, not sure which, but we appreciated the gesture and it was yummy. Will be back for the uni toast. Mark my words!!!

Overall, it felt odd to see such an ornate place so vacant, but come to find out, they just opened a little over a month ago and are locally owned by an ambitious Armenian foodie named, Erik. Funny full circle moment when I realized he was the same guy that owned a burger restaurant I used to travel from Inland Empire for and my best friends dad said he had the best sandwiches at a winery before that lol! Looking forward to coming back for the Omakase at UMI and the duck at their rooftop.

My only complaints are the lack of bar seating in front of these sushi chefs, no omakase and the audacity of being this good only to have no dessert menu, but apparently they are coming soon!!! To settle my sweet tooth, our waitress was sweet enough to book us a reservation for their rooftop restaurant… Was is hard finding the energy to waddle to the elevator? Maybe… but I can’t think of any places in the area where this is even an option, and you get to see the city view, how fun is that?

Thank you so much for this rollercoaster of flavor fusions I never knew I needed. As mentioned, this place is locally owned, so of you loved it as much as we did, LEAVE A REVIEW too!! It is a crime to see empty seats with so much talent behind the bar. Great job choosing your team, Erik!

My husband and I recently visited Japan and the bar for sushi and sashimi has been high since. A night at UMI brought me back to Japan. First, the host and our server were inviting and very friendly. Second, the atmosphere was grown and sexy, everything was sophisticated and gorgeous. And the most important part, THE FOOD, was an experience. We had the salmon, albacore, and scallop sashimi…the fish was fresh, delicate and treated with love…absolutely delicious. We also tried the shrimp tempura, wagyu tartar and crab roll…equally delicious. Finally, Chef Kirk hit us with the no name roll….trust me, you won’t be disappointed, just order it. Overall, UMI is a 10 out of 10. Will definitely return and recommend.

Dining in Los Angeles often comes at the price of dealing with poor hospitality, but here I experienced some of the best, and the food was even better. We went by the suggestions of our enthusiastic waitress, and they did not disappoint! The food was so good I forgot to take pictures until the end, which I am sure my friends appreciated since I like getting every angle of the dishes when I do. Stay tuned for pt. 2 of the one I snapped.

NOTE: My review of the dishes will be broken into two reviews, maybe on Yelp instead, because I need you to know the journey my taste buds were taken on with my friends:

Food Review Highlights Pt. I:

CEVICHE MISO CONES (5/5): The ceviche is composed of 4 different types of fish marinated in a tangy yuzu ponzu and scooped like ice cream into these adorable salty, sweet miso sesame cones. The attention to detail and creativity goes down to the mountain of puffed rice the cones are wedged into (they don’t taste like much outside of crisp, crunchy air, if that makes sense).

UNI TOAST (5/5): Listen, the texture and taste of uni has NEVER sat well with me, but THIS was the surprise of a lifetime (literally and figuratively, the manager sent it as a gift). The brioche toast was crumbly, lightly sweet and oily; the sauces gave a salty, sweet, savory layer; and the Santa Barbra uni was the freshest, mouth melting texture I didn’t know could come from uni (maybe I have only ever had bad uni before this, but WOW this has opened my horizons to try uni in the future elsewhere and more confidently)

BAKED SALMON HANDROLL (4.5/5): The warm handroll is delivered sesame speckled soy paper, generously stuffed with rice; buttery hass avocado; perfectly baked rich, fatty King Salmon; and an airy, slightly dulcet kewpie mayo snow crab mix. The only thing I would change is opting for nori paper in the future. NOTE: My friends LOVED the soy paper, but I feel like the salty crunch of nori would better compliment the sweet notes of the handroll.

HALIBUT SASHIMI (6/5): My favorite dish of all! The halibut was lightly oceanic, lean, but firm, rolled into upright cyclinders; topped with cilantro flowers and a piquant yuzu pickled thai chili. They were placed in a pool of citrusy heaven (but they call it leche de tigre) with cilantro oil piped parallel to the halibut. If you try anything, try THIS

RED SNAPPER SASHIMI (5.1/ 5): Uni toast was my conversion, this was my best friend’s. The japanese red snapper was nutty and delicate in flavor with a firm, but tender texture. As was instructed, I rolled the madai in a bit of everything: Think thick tangy creme fraiche; an almost floral, candied, zesty note from kumquat; hanaho; and a cloud of umami soy-yuzu foam. I may be missing some ingredients, but glad to say I didnt miss out on this unique dish with flavors I never thought would compliment one another. It was sensational and my second favorite dish I tried.
