" Umi is a hidden gem! I was blown away by the quality of their sushi. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and they use fresh ingredients! The atmosphere is cozy, emphasizing an authentic Japanese dining experience. I highly recommend ordering the bento box—it provides a great variety and value. The prices are fair considering the quality. Can't wait for my next visit; I’ll definitely be spreading the word! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing visit. The quality was not what I had anticipated. Portions felt small for the price, and the flavors were lacking in depth. The service was okay, nothing to write home about, and the atmosphere, while cozy, did not make up for the food. I might give them another chance, but I left feeling underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a mixed opinion about Umi. The food was decent, but not as great as I remembered from previous visits. The atmosphere was welcoming; however, I felt that something was off with the service that evening. It was slow, and I had to wait quite a while for my food. Perhaps it was just an off night for them. I will consider giving them another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just average sushi for a somewhat steep price. The fish was fresh, but I was expecting something more artisan based on the reviews. I didn't feel like the atmosphere enhanced the meal either. With so many sushi spots in town, I doubt I'll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Umi with high expectations but left feeling underwhelmed. The sushi didn’t have the freshness I was hoping for, and the flavors lacked the depth you’d expect from a place known for authenticity. The service, while friendly, didn't help the overall experience. I might try it again sometime, but there are better sushi options available. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fairly good experience at Umi. The sushi tasted fresh, but I can't say it stood out among other sushi places I'd tried. I was hoping for more authentic Japanese flavors. Service was satisfactory, not exceptional, but in a restaurant known for sushi, I expected a bit more. Overall, it was fine but wouldn't be my first choice moving forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the hidden gem I’ve been searching for! The sushi at Umi is top-notch, with a menu that changes frequently to include seasonal items. The atmosphere is quaint and perfect for conversations. I ordered the bento box and was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and quality. The staff was friendly and courteous. I cannot recommend Umi enough! " (*Curated Review*)
