Authentic Japanese Sushi - Highly Recommended!
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! 🇯🇵

Excellent Sushi Value in the Bay
My experience at this restaurant offered one of the best price: quality ratios I've encountered for sushi in the Bay. The neighborhood is excellent, and they provide outdoor seating. The fish was incredibly fresh.
I highly recommend trying the miso eggplant.

Cozy Romantic Spot with Unreal Sushi
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly romantic and cozy, thanks to the low lighting. The sushi was unreal, and I especially loved the garlic butter edamame. It was a total banger!

Excellent Quality Fish, Simple Place
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. I really liked the food quality, especially the Hawaiian Tuna. It's a small and simple place, but the quality is great.
Perfect.

Good Service, Fast Food
My experience at the restaurant was positive. The service was very good; they took my order and within 10 to 15 minutes, my food was ready to enjoy. I have seen families with children there, and they seemed to be fine.
The price per person is between $10–20. For vegetarians, it's highly recommended, and they have clearly labeled vegetarian dishes. You will need to inform your server about any dietary restrictions.
Parking is available as free street parking, though finding a spot can be somewhat difficult. The atmosphere and food both received a score of 5. While I haven't seen anyone in a wheelchair, it appears to be wheelchair accessible.

Excellent Gluten-Free Options and Fast Service
I had a great experience at this restaurant. They offer a really nice separate gluten-free menu, which even includes miso soup, something not always available. The service was super fast and accommodating.
I highly recommend this place.

Spectacular Nigiri and Great Value
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely spectacular, especially with their nigiri. The specials menu was so good that I had to have seconds. The quality of their fish is fantastic, and it's priced extremely reasonably.
If you like uni, you absolutely need to try theirs. While I focused mostly on the nigiri, the hamachi kama was also absolutely fantastic. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I can!

Cozy Spot with Fresh Fish
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!

Great Local Sushi Spot
I've visited Umi twice, once with family and once with a friend. Both experiences were excellent, largely due to the friendly staff and the delicious fish. The nigiri was particularly impressive, featuring a good ratio of fish to rice and exceptionally fresh fish.
Overall, it feels like a great deal and a fantastic local sushi spot. I would definitely recommend it:)

High-Quality Japanese Food & Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed high-quality Japanese food. The service was also loved.
They offer a semi-outdoor seating area, which is great because you can even bring your dog. The atmosphere and service were rated 5/5, and food was also rated 5/5.
