Editorial Review for Umi Sushi Bar and Grill – by Susan Kirr
In Short
Pink, green and purple neon walls clash with carved stone sculptures and cloisonné figures. A long curvy granite bar features some pretty tilework. Cold appetizers, include seaweed salad, marinated and dotted with sesame seeds and Japanese pickles. The sushi deluxe features salty salmon roe, squid, eel and tuna, some pieces garnished with dabs of grated daikon radish. Ginger ice cream makes a novel dessert.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkThe bar stocks a nice selection of sakes, including Gekkeikan and Sho Chiku Bai, served either warm or cold, by the glass or by the bottle. Or try Japanese plum wine, which is sweet and rich and goes down smooth.

Umi is a disaster. We waited 45 minutes (in an empty restaurant) for a roll and some sashimi. The fish finally came out and it was frozen solid. We were overcharged for the few things we ordered that were edible. The server was totally checked out and the manager was aggressive and unhelpful. The place reeks of cheap air freshener. Very lame experience all around. I will never go there again.

Now me and my wife are no sushi experts, and we pretty much stick to the basics when it comes to ordering. No eating what we don't recognize on the Menu. We know the Chefs there and they always treat us with great service. We never sit anywhere other that the sushi bar. Thats the place to be if you want the best service because the chefs are right across from you. Plus you can learn a litlle more about whats good and whats not by asking them. Overall great service and food. Heck, one of the chefs even went to my wedding. GREAT FOLKS DOWN AT UMI. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! :-)
Pros: Chefs
Cons: none to my knowledge
