I’ve been to Umami a couple of times now and the food has always been fresh and delicious. The sushi is great, as are the bento boxes and the tempura! The atmosphere itself is very nice and laid back, and is overall a good spot to grab a bite with friends and hang out. I love their bao buns, and always ordered the mixed tempura. I would definitely recommend this place for sushi, as their rolls are plated absolutely beautifully and are always delicious!

A new and clean sushi restaurant with an extensive offering of sushi, sashimi, cut rolls, and lunch/dinner specials. A mixed crowd of college students and families, both indoor and outdoor seating (with patio heaters!). Tasty food, relaxed atmosphere, and blazing fast service. Did I mention clean bathrooms? Recommended for casual sushi.

The food is always great here! We’ve ate in before and ordered takeout. The prices are very reasonable. Today it took a little long for someone to come back and check to see if we were done eating. I think they might have went on break or something, but when we finally did catch one of the servers, they brought the check and to go boxes very quickly. I still love their food and will go back again!

So many good things at this Japanese restaurant. The service is fast, not just one waiter but several will help and attend. The food is carefully prepared. Their ramen is on point. The sushi and cut rolls are delicious (caveat the spicy ones are truly spicy!)

Absolutely fantastic service and food. I would recommend trying to get a reservation as there was a bit of a wait when we got there. Don’t feel pressured to eat inside either as they have headed lamps outside so you’ll be very comfortable regardless.

First off, I do not like sushi–I came here for my husband’s sake. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of options for a non-seafood-lover. It was definitely mostly sushi, but they had a few kinds of ramen, some bao buns, and a few chicken options in the bento meal.

This place is awesome. Didn’t expect great sushi from a campus restaurant but due to the ratings we stopped in. Everything was delicious. Their rolls that have krab have a slight sweet taste that we all loved, really sets it apart from other restaurants. The Dynamite was also different from what we are used to, instead of having a thick sauce on top that is broiled until browned, they fry their roll and put their spicy Mayo on it and then put fried shrimp and scallops on top, beautiful! Everything we have was great.

This place is absolutely amazing! The interior, decor, and even the food is beautiful; you can really tell they put an effort into their restaurant. I also noticed this is family owned. You can also really tell the fish is fresh and the name is on point because every bite is so flavorful and filled with an umami flavor. The servers are friendly and everyone looks like they enjoy working there. I really recommend this place!

I ordered take out through DoorDash and decided to get a new place. Oh boy am I happy about this choice! The rolls were amazing, the fish from this place just tastes different, so fresh and flavorful, melts in your mouth. Poki Poki salad is 12.95, this place offers poke salad for $13, but the quality is 2x better. The lemon roll – out of the world fresh. I’m definitely visiting this place in person. Even my 5-year-old son gave his sushi a thumbs up!

I ordered seaweed salad, toro nigiri, spicy tuna roll and freshman roll. It was an off time to go around 4 pm and the first person got their food about 15/20 minutes before me when we both ordered rolls. I had an average experience here, not blown away by the food quality.
