Excellent Sushi

by mms5 at Citysearch

This is by far the best Sushi place that I have been to here in Austin. The environment alone is very welcoming and the staff only accents it. A few of my friends and I were out celebrating a birthday and it was amazing how attentive the staff was. There was a group of 6 of us and the server was great, didn't miss a beat. The food was excellent and the drinks were great, all at a very reasonable price for the entire night. I will continue to go to Umi whenever sushi is on the brain!

Best Sushi Restaurant in Austin!

by jennsills at Citysearch

This is truly a spectacular Sushi restaurant and by far the best in Austin! Plus, the prices are quite reasonable. I have eaten at a lot of restaurants around the world and this has one of the highest rankings in my opinion!!! The food is exquisite, the service is great, and the decor and atmosphere is very elegant and welcoming. Plus, the food presentation is very prompt and presented in a beautiful fashion!

Additionally, there is a huge selection of Sushi and it is purely mouth watering. Plus, the drinks are absolutely amazing and a definitely positive add-on to a great evening. I recommend that you definitely be adventurous so you can get an amazing experience at this phenomenal Japanese restaurant!!! Try various entrees, both hot and cold, as well as all the different types of sushi rolls, sashimi, soups, and desserts! Particularly, my favorites are the Shrimp Tempura, Tuna rolls, and the Caterpillar roll with eel and avocado covered with a delicious sauce on top!

This restaurant definitely appeases to everyone of different genures as well, whether going on a date night out or catching lunch with friends and co-workers!!! It is a must try and you will absolutely not be disappointed!!!

Great Service and fresh sushi without driving downtown. We had my roommates 30th birthday dinner here and the food was excellent, they even let us bring our own cake. My fav is the shrimp tempura rolls with spicy mayo Soo yummy.

The food is great and recommended

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
