What People Are Saying About Umi Sushi Bar & Grill

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.

Service is very bad
by bobbymsp
Three single people at the sushi bar, two couples at tables...two servers sitting at the bar. It was impossible to get service, but I could see the two servers sitting at the bar. NO service following initial order. I finally walked up to them and handed them the credit card. One got up to run the credit card, while the other had the nerve to ask how everything was. Though sushi was not bad, I would never return.
- Pros: Sushi is not bad
- Cons: Service is terrible

The food is great and recommended
by sign0in
The resturants atmosphere is very dazziling and beautiful. I would suggest the Sashimi which I believe is very refreshing. I will also suggest some of the saki to those who like to drink. They are strong but very good. The service is pretty decent but there is times were you have to wait a time. The pricing for the food there is very decent and not really overpriced. When my friends and I went there for the first time it was very warming and we have been going there very other week. I would suggest that you sit at the sushi bar because not only do you get to see the great sushi being made but the chefs are very fun to talk to and are good company. Those who enjoy sushi I recommend to come to Umi.
- Pros: Parking, Sushi, Ambience and Price
- Cons: sometimes service is too long

by mandi2225
I am an avid sushi goer and this is the second to worst EVER and thats pretty darn bad...Absolutely tasteless and way overpriced...we were fooled by the nice atmosphere...I try to focus on that when I think of what I spent and still went to Sandy's hamburgers to finish the job...yummy!! So thank you Sandy for saving an almost devastating evening...lol
- Pros: nice atmosphere
- Cons: terrible food, way overpriced, rude waitress!
The Details on Umi Sushi Bar & Grill
What to Drink:
The 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.
