Their seared sushi is fresh and buttery, and if you eat 10 alone, you are almost getting your money’s worth! Definitely a must get when going. The yellowtail jalapeno is another favorite of mines and consist of yellowtail Hamachi topped with jalapenos, masago, and soy sauce. They have a variety of rolls to choose from, but I like the Hot Mama Roll. There is a fire sign nest to it, but the roll consists of hot cheetos and is not spicy at all. The Hot Mama Roll has a good mixture of textures with the crispy chips.
The inside is spacious, and there is a lot of seating and parking. Service is dependent on how busy the day is with it being a bit slower on the weekends.
Umiya is a nice place to visit for AYCE and has been my go-to for AYCE sushi. Make sure to come hungry and definitely try their seared nigiris!
Parking: Plenty in the plaza, I had to park a bit further near Spec’s
We arrived at noon with a party of four on a Friday and it was relatively packed, but we were seated with no wait.
Service was generally pretty quick! We only waited about 5-10 minutes for light bites like miso soup, and 10-15 minutes for sushi orders.
With a group of 4, we got about 2-3 rolls each and a variety of the other dishes:
Seared Sushi (4.5/5): This is probably the most unique offering on their menu and I would go back and order a lot more of it during lunch. The cuts they use are a bit tough, but this is the best balance of fish to rice during lunch hours and are actually a great palette cleanser.
Eel sushi (4/5): The other thing I’d definitely go back for, not as tender as other places but still good.
Miso Soup (3/5): Average, not enough tofu or seaweed for me.
Most of the special sushi rolls were okay – a lot of rolls focused on avocado, and make sure you read to see if you’re getting the wrap in soy paper. I don’t think any especially stood out to me but I’d say the Red Snapper roll is good if you want soy paper, and the Dragon Roll was good. I ate a bunch of the Lexington (baked roll) and it was too heavy for me, but no one else at my table wanted it. They had a good variety but most of the rolls ultimately were filled with shrimp tempura or imitation crab, which is on par with other lower priced AYCE spots.
Their green tea ice cream was a fantastic way to round out the meal.
I skipped the sesame balls but my table enjoyed them enough to get two orders.
Overall, service is very good and the lunch price is excellent for a decent variety AYCE. I’d definitely go back and get less rolls and more sushi/seared sushi pieces.
Food came out quickly and plates were clearer just as fast. The fried foods tasted fresh and hot and the sashimi slices were thick and delicious.
We enjoyed our time here and would return whenever we’re in the mood for AYCE. This is a great addition to the area.
The sashimi was decent for an AYCE. The tsunami roll was delicious. Highly recommend their rolls! They also have a decent selection of desserts. The sago coconut milk was super refreshing.
Note: As we were leaving around 7pm, there was a massive line so highly recommend making reservations on a Friday night.

I was craving sushi so badly, so we decided to come to Umiya for a night date. I did a lot of research on AYCE sushi around my area, and Umiya really caught my attention because of the beautiful decorations and how good the food looked online.
We came around 6 pm and did the dinner option. At that time, the restaurant was not very busy, only a few tables. But around 7 pm, it became a full house. Trust me, come before 6 if you want a table without a long wait.
The price was 32.95 per person, and soft drinks are not included. They also have a full drink menu and boba, which is a nice bonus.
We ordered a lot that night and left extremely full. Everything we tried was delicious. I also loved how beautifully each plate was decorated. Every dish came out looking so pretty and fancy, it honestly made me feel like I was dining at a high end restaurant, not just an AYCE spot.
One thing that really impressed me is that they also have seared sushi. I love that seared flavor, and Umiya gave me the chance to eat a lot of it, which really gave me an omakase style experience.
The AYCE menu has many dishes that I have never seen at other sushi restaurants. That really surprised me in a good way. I usually get bored seeing the same options everywhere, but this place was different and impressive.
I forgot our waiter name, but he was amazing. Very nice, attentive, and gave us excellent service. Even when the restaurant got really busy, he never made us wait. Every time we finished a round, he was already there to take our next order.
When we left, there was a long line outside of people waiting to dine in, which says a lot about how popular this place is.
Overall, this is the best AYCE sushi restaurant I have ever been to. It is probably my number one spot right now. Great food, beautiful presentation, and amazing service made the whole experience even better. I definitely recommend coming here, just make sure to make a reservation if you plan to visit on a weekend night because it gets very busy.
Highly recommend if you’re having a sushi craving.
The Hibachi beef is really tender. Sago with coconut milk smartly utilized the sourness from the mango to balance off the sweetness in the coconut milk.
My recommendation for shooting for perfection: if the seared sushi section could offer seared sashimi option, please.
Highly recommend the Yellowtail on Fire, a jalapeño hamachi dish that I’d eat for days. The seared Escolar was perfectly done and the seared Scallop was discussed for a while after our meal. I really enjoyed the amount of Sashimi options on the menu, all of which came high quality and fresh to taste. My partner found a lot of excitement in the Specialty Rolls that are also in the AYCE menu. We had a bottle of hot sake that paired wonderfully with our meal at large. Finished with green tea ice cream that wasn’t too sweet, sago, and some tempura cheesecake for extra indulgence.
Em was our server and she was phenomenal! She gave great recommendations and created an experience that will keep us coming back!
Overall a precious gem that should be well revered and appreciated!
