" Umi is definitely a culinary experience that you want to have. Every course was beautifully staged, and the waitstaff were very knowledgeable—all leading to a great dining experience. The only thing I’d change is potentially larger portion sizes for what you spend. Overall though, I left satisfied and happy to have tried such delicious sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot stress how fresh the fish was at Umi! You can tell everything is flown in and prepared with care. Our server was pleasant, and the ambience just added to the incredible experience. We shared the 7-course tasting menu, and while it was delightful, I wish there were more options for heavier dishes as many courses felt too light for my taste. Overall, a worthwhile visit for delicious sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my birthday at Umi! The experience was incredible, but I felt a bit short-changed on portion sizes. Each course was stunning in both presentation and taste—truly memorable. It’s costly, so I wouldn’t do it regularly, but it was definitely a unique experience I’d be willing to repeat on another special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" Umi is always a top choice for sushi lovers. The fish is undeniably fresh, given their emphasis on sourcing it daily. My dining experience was lovely, and I enjoyed the intimate atmosphere. However, the servings felt a bit light compared to the high cost. I would return for the food but keep expectations in check on portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Umi was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and upscale. We opted for the 11-course omakase, and every dish was a masterpiece. The server was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining each course in detail. The fresh sashimi melted in my mouth, and the unique flavor combinations were delightful. Although a bit on the pricey side, it was absolutely worth it for a special occasion. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a phenomenal experience! The sushi was undoubtedly some of the best I’ve had, with each course bringing something unique to the table. The service staff was friendly and attentive. The only drawback was the amount of food, which didn’t quite satisfy my appetite after a nearly $200 meal. Still, I’d recommend Umi to anyone looking for a high-end sushi experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my visit to Umi! The restaurant had an elegant decor and inviting atmosphere. The waitstaff were incredibly attentive and made excellent recommendations. I loved the creative flair on the traditional dishes, but some portions left something to be desired. Still, an amazing night overall! " (*Curated Review*)
