" Fantastic sushi experience! We came there for a family celebration, and they didn't disappoint. Everything was top-notch, especially the spicy salmon and tuna rolls—they were out of this world! The service felt personal; our waiter was attentive and made sure we had what we needed without being overbearing. The only reason I didn’t give it a full score was the slight wait for a table, but the food was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment at UME. The food was decent, but definitely not worth the hype. The server was friendly, but the service felt slower than expected, especially with the crowd in the restaurant. I had sushi and some hot appetizers, but nothing stood out in terms of flavor. I also felt that the prices were a bit high for the portion sizes we received. Maybe a busy night impacted my experience, but I left feeling underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to UME for quite a while now, and they have never disappointed! The quality of their sushi is consistently high. I usually get the poke bowl for lunch—it's fresh, generous, and satisfying. The staff always remembers my order, which shows their attention to detail. Plus, the BYOB option is fabulous—it helps keep my dining expenses surprisingly low. I think I’ll be a regular for a long time! " (*Curated Review*)

" We took advantage of their happy hour, and what a deal! The rolls were surprisingly big for just $6. We tried several and loved almost every single one. The staff was super friendly, which made our experience even better. However, I wish there were more vegetarian options for my friend; she felt left out a bit. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking to indulge in sushi without breaking the bank! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family has a tradition of visiting local sushi restaurants, and UME was on our list! From the moment we walked in, we loved the ambiance; it felt modern yet cozy. The kids even enjoyed their food, which is a win in my book! We ordered a mix of rolls, and the sushi was very fresh. I can't forget the tempura ice cream; it was a delightful end to our meal! I’d recommend making a reservation if you can—this place can get busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, UME is a hidden gem! I have a favorite local sushi spot, but after trying UME, I'm torn! The rolls are large and super filling, and the ingredients taste incredibly fresh. I particularly enjoyed the tuna pizza and the chef's special roll. I noticed that they have a variety of non-sushi options too, which is nice for anyone looking to mix things up. The service staff was very knowledgeable about the menu, which added to the overall experience. Highly recommend for sushi lovers in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited UME just last weekend with a group of friends, and we had an incredible evening! The sushi was the highlight of our dinner. I particularly loved the spicy scallop roll and the crispy rice appetizer! The service was quick and very friendly; it felt like we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Plus, the place had a relaxed vibe, perfect for catching up with old friends. We will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
