Umi Sushi Bar & Grill

Rapidly became one of my favorites.
Great food.
Great service.
And fabulous happy hour prices.
We couldn’t believe the wide variety of happy hour choices.
In fact the menu is overwhelming.
We had to take notes to remember what we ordered.
They even have happy hour on Sundays till 6:30.
Some our favorites include shaggy dog, sesame chicken robata,tiger eye, and shrimp dumplings.
The happy hour cucumber martini also scored high.
A big bonus for me was the low noise level.

I love their sushi! But also, 100% try that tempura dessert, you’ll be in bliss. Depending on the day and staff of course, the service will be a little slow, one time I asked for a to go box and I never got it on time before I had to leave haha.
But my recent visit they handed it pronto! Either way, super nice people.
(Cute date spot!! Really pretty.
And a little chilly!)

**update** Was 3 star, dropping to 1.
It is with heavy heart I say we will no longer be back to Umi.
The service is terrible and the atmosphere is run down yet prices remain high.
Great food if you live close and can do take out, but it's not worth the drive to have to be inside this place anymore.
We used to spend hours and hundreds of dollars, this time we lasted 25 minutes and left to go finish our anniversary somewhere less depressing.
Such a shame.
**RIP** I could list all of the good food they have here but I would probably hit a character limit, look at the menu and know you likely won't regret anything. That said, I'm only giving this place 3 stars because each year the staff seems to get worse.
We go every year on our anniversary and sometimes in-between for other special events.
Last year they were not allowing anyone at the sushi bar and table service is never fun, this year we were at the sushi bar and somehow still no one spoke to us.
To be fair to the sushi team, every time I tried to speak with them they made it clear they didn't speak English 😕.
Sitting at the sushi bar and having the chefs make whatever they enjoy has lead us down an intense path of new and interesting rolls over the years.
We enjoy hearing stories about the industry and food we are eating and you just won't get that here anymore. The waitress, when she was around, made us very uncomfortable.
She stood there watching as I figured out the tip commenting on what I was doing while I was doing it.
We were there of 2.5 hours and she only came around like 3-4 times without being flagged over.
Not a fan. Great food! Poor service.
3 stars for now but I will keep trying and hope I can edit this to a 5 star in the future.
