" While it’s quite expensive, the dining experience at Umi is something special. We ordered the omakase and every dish was visually stunning and delicious. The atmosphere made it feel intimate, perfect for special occasions. I will say after finishing, we were left a bit hungry because the portion sizes are on the smaller side, but I’d still recommend it to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable dining experience! My partner took me to Umi for my birthday, and everything exceeded our expectations. The menu was unique and carefully thought out, and while we did leave wanting more, the quality of food was undeniable. There's no question that you'll be talking about the dishes long after the meal is over! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Umi, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit! The omakase that we had was fantastic—every piece of seafood was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is lovely, nicely set up for enjoying your meal. My only concern is how small the portions were for the price we paid, but the experience was unforgettable nonetheless. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with my coworkers and was highly impressed by Umi’s attention to detail in each course. Every single bite was a new delight. The atmosphere gave off an intimate vibe, which made it perfect for discussions. Yet again, I worry about the portion sizes; I felt I could eat a whole extra meal afterwards! Still, I’ll rave about Umi to everyone. " (*Curated Review*)

" The 11-course omakase was a true culinary experience! I loved how the server talked about each dish with such passion. The textures and flavors were wonderfully selected, and while I did feel a bit hungry after finishing, the overall experience was quite fulfilling. The dessert definitely exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend for foodies! " (*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*)
