" I had high expectations for Umi based on the glowing reviews, but I was a bit underwhelmed on my last visit. While the sushi tasted good, I felt some of the rolls were smaller than expected for the price, leaving me a bit hungry afterward. The service was okay but lacked that personal touch, and we had to wait quite a while for our drinks. I might give it another try, but it won't be at the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)

" Umi has become my go-to sushi spot in DC! I frequent their menu often, and I must say, the consistency in the freshness of their ingredients is what keeps me coming back. It’s rare to find a restaurant where the quality remains top-notch time after time. The California rolls are a personal favorite, and the spicy tuna is also a must-try. Plus, the staff is always welcoming and makes you feel right at home. This place is a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had dinner at Umi, and it was a mixed bag. Some dishes were excellent, particularly the sushi, which was undoubtedly fresh. Others, like the chicken teriyaki, were just okay. Service could definitely be improved; we had to flag down our server a couple of times. The ambiance was charming, though, and I think it's worth a second chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Phenomenal sushi experience! The freshness of the ingredients really stood out and the presentation was on point. Everything we ordered was delectable, especially the specialty rolls. The staff were not only friendly but also highly knowledgeable about the menu. It turned a casual meal into an overall excellent dining experience. I can't recommend Umi enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had an incredible dining experience at Umi! The sushi rolls were fresh and beautifully presented, which I truly appreciated. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring our orders were perfect. I particularly loved the shrimp tempura roll, which was crispy and flavorful. The only downside was the slight delay in our food during the lunch rush. Would definitely recommend this place to sushi enthusiasts! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just ordered takeout from Umi and was pleasantly surprised! The rolls were perfectly crafted, and the flavors were strong and fresh. I especially loved the tempura shrimp and the rainbow roll. Every piece felt carefully made and exceeded my expectations. Definitely coming back for more takeout in the future! " (*Curated Review*)
