Absolutely amazing hand roll spot! The sushi was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and loaded with generous, high-quality toppings. Every hand roll tasted perfect — simple, clean, and honestly some of the best I’ve had.
Service was fast, friendly, and on point the entire time. The staff made us feel super welcome, and to top it all off, they surprised us with free ice cream at the end. Little things like that really make the experience stand out.
Highly recommend this place if you’re craving great sushi, great vibes, and great service. Will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stopped by Umiai Hand Roll Bar for lunch and had a great experience overall. The restaurant has a clean, modern setup with a calm and relaxed vibe, perfect for a casual midday meal or a light lunch with friends.
I ordered a mix of hand rolls and ended up substituting the crab hand roll for another yellowtail, which was a solid choice. The fish tasted fresh and clean, and each roll was made right in front of us. The seaweed was roasted perfectly, warm, crisp, and easy to bite through.
A few of the rolls, like the salmon and shellfish, were mixed with a bit of mayo. It is a common preparation style, but I would have preferred the salmon with just ponzu sauce instead. The rice could have used a little more seasoning, but the balance of textures was still great.
The staff was friendly and attentive, offering good recommendations throughout the meal. They also have fresh wasabi available if you ask for it, which is a nice touch that elevates the experience.
Food: 4 out of 5 – Fresh and flavorful, with room for a bit more seasoning
Service: 4 out of 5 – Friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations
Ambiance: 4 out of 5 – Clean, quiet, and comfortable

Almost everything was in point. It’s a little over priced for what it is, but good service, friendly staff and fresh fish.
I found the salt and lemon levels a little too high for my liking on most things.
The Toro and Uni were my favorite.

This is our second visit to Umiai. It’s quickly becoming our favorite sushi/handroll spot in NOHO. The place has a great vibe, but it’s not all about vibes here. Their food requires no gimmicks to speak for itself. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and generous. We received comped items both times we’ve visited. The food is really delicious. It’s some of the best sushi I’ve had in LA. Better than other handroll spots, hands down. The Albacore Black Garlic is my favorite, we’ve gotten it both times. However, I’m going to get something different next time because other items on the menu have piqued my interest! Gabe and Ethan are very kind and generous and the rest of the team is impressive as well. They remembered us after one prior visit, and are always very welcoming. My only critique is that the food is pricy in relation to the portion size. But maybe I’m just a glutton and desire more of their amazing food. We’ll be back again soon!

This is the best of the best sushi spot in LA, all crudos are super amazing, Yellowtails Yuza and Halibut Ume are the thing you must try.
We could not find 1 pairs of Oraking salmon and Toro nigiri with this reasonable price
All set meals are the good combinations of small cucumbers salad, crudos plate, nigiri and hand roll set.
I really recommend this place, even the set menu could not make a substation but we ordered the Alacart instead. We do understand the restaurant everage the food cost for the set menu.
If you have allergies problem, we do recommend the A Lacare, the price just only a few dollars difference.
All staff are friendly, and we could feel they made the food with love and passion.
Love UmiAi,

The sushi here was absolutely excellent! Every piece was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. Definitely one of the best sushi spots I’ve been to – highly recommend!

Umiai is a great sushi spot in North Hollywood that combines a bit of KazuNori and a bit of Nobu.
The place is beautiful and it’s all counter seating
I chose the 5 Handroll set $34 which came with salmon, yellowtail, crab, scallop, and tuna. I loved all except the scallop, nothing wrong with it and I usually do like scallop but this had an odd taste from the sauce and not the scallops themselves.
Also ordered the salmon carpaccio $27 which was phenomenal. I loved the flavors and the different textures between the salmon, crab, and puffed rice crispies. It’s probably one of my favorites crudos or just seafood plates I’ve had in LA.
I asked what else was recommended for the crudo and told that the yuzu yellowtail $25 is their most popular. I can see why. It’s light, fresh, citrusy, and delicious.
For nigiri, I went with:
toro $17
big eye tuna $8
seared salmon $12
albacore $8.50
halibut $10
Hokkaido scallops $9
wagyu $25
Each nigiri order was simply delicious. I couldn’t choose a favorite since they were all equally delicious in their own ways.
Service was great but my only complaint would be how the food is served. When you go to other Handroll spots, regardless if you order handrolls, nigiri, plates, etc, there’s an “order” to them, and by that I mean the chefs check on you and wait to make/serve the next dish until after you finish what you’re currently eating. This can be said about many regular sushi spots too. But here, I had my first plate of nigiri, the salmon carpaccio, and first Handroll all delivered at the same time. I was in the middle of eating my carpaccio when the Handroll got soft and the seared salmon got cold. Somewhat minor to me as I’m not a huge complainer for something like this but I do hope that style of service improves! I will definitely be back!

I love this place. The food is amazing…. It doesn’t smell fishy at all when you walk in.. unlike a couple sushi places I’ve been to recently…. Everything is so fresh, the staff are all so kind and friendly, and whoever has the aux cord…. Elite. J Cole, sza…Both times I went in. I can’t wait to come back. I just wish they had something other than ice cream for dessert (It was still good).

Umiai? More like my-oh-myyyyy!
I absolutely love this place. I enjoy that it is “vibey” with the highly-millennial curated Hip Hop/R&B playlists and bar only seating. No reservations, but the longest I have ever waited was 20 minutes on literal Valentine’s Day (where they gave every couple a rose, so sweet!)
The chefs and servers are highly attentive and I’ve never had an issue with an incorrect order, long wait, or quality. Most importantly they serve hand rolls the proper way: freshly (and perfectly) toasted seaweed enveloping your chosen filling and handed directly to you by the chef so you get that crispy, crunchy bite.
My menu must-haves:
– Spicy SALMON hand roll. I think the staff might secretly say “That spicy salmon girl is here…” to each other when they see me walking in…
– Pick your Toro, any Toro
– Cucumber Salad
– Husband is obsessed with anything albacore on the menu
You honestly probably can’t go wrong. All the fish is clearly of the best quality and prepared properly.
11/10, will of course be back again 🙂

Had an awesome experience at UMIAI Hand Roll & Sake Bar. The sushi was super fresh, beautifully plated, and packed with flavor. The A5 wagyu, scallop with caviar, and nigiri were all on point. The vibe is sleek but welcoming, and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable—they really know their stuff. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend!
