Read More On Citysearch Keridwyn 3/9/2010 - nope- no reason to returnMade reservations a week in advance. Got there at 5, didn't get to order until 5:45. Wow, a whole 15 minutes to utilize the happy hour prices. Went with a group, Umi wouldn't split the check so we ended the evenging with our calculators dividing up the bill. It is always fun pointing out to friends that they need to throw in more money (sarcasm!). Need to hire more staff b/c our waitress was too ...

We left. Will never go back, Just don't understand this. Found a better place in the neighborhood called Gamba's Japanese and French restaurant. Plus much more affordable.

Read More On Citysearch by Mike M. at Judy's Book 6/1/2009 - Horrible ExperienceOur party walked in off the street at 6:40pm on Friday night 4/11. We had a party of 6 with no reservations and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. We headed for the bar where we got a round of drinks and proceeded to wait for a table to open. Much to our surprise, at least half the tables were empty. There was one set up for 10, but the rest were tables of 2 or 4. We figured they would ...

At the time we were seated one of the two-top tables was empty. We asked the hostess if we could pull the table together with ours to accommodate all 6 of us. She said no because the tables were reserved....

Before this experience, Umi was our favorite Japanese restaurants in Seattle. We have frequently taken our local friends, out of town visitors and business acquaintances there. The food is excellent though the mishaps that Sunday proved to be enough for us to take our friends (and expense accounts) elsewhere.

If you're going on a Friday night chances are you might have a little of a wait, so call and reserve before hand. In my book , TOP SUSHI.
Also, the HH is great! :P

Read More On Citysearch mspatao 12/30/2008 - Great Japanese FoodThis is the best spot in Seattle for awesome Japanese food. It's a great place to go right before heading out for the night. The atmosphere is very trendy, they have two different rooms (one room is a garden room with it's own DJ) and the other room is a little more low key. The food is great and so is the service.

The sushi here is the best in Seattle, or probably the best in US. Crunchy lizard, Flaming Tuna and the Lobster Tempura is to die for. They also have great selection of sake cocktails along with traditional cocktails.

The fish was very fresh and the rolls were amazing. I recommend the California Crunch. This place is very busy so I recommend reservations. It's worth the wait though because the food is incredible!

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 6/26/2008 - Not too badI have only been to Umi once, that was enough for me. The food wasn't too bad but for what you get it is pretty over priced. The service was not that great but the ambiance is wonderful. It has such a chic modern feel. The music was entirely too loud though. I don't mind loud music, just not while I eat or am trying to have a conversation with the person in front of me. Overall though I would say...

I have been eating Sushi for 23 years and I think Umi is my favorite place in Seattle by far. I've tried all the other well known places but nothing has even come close to the flavors and the atomphere you get at Umi. The menu is great and the service is even better.. There is one waitress there who always remebers us and is happy to see us, even if we d...

Earlier in the year we had dinner there with another couple and had a great time. Service and food were great. We tend to follow Billy wherever he goes. He wasn't there today, and I don't know if that indicates anything. But the waitress my friend & I had was completely witchy in that "I can't spare you the time of day" sort of way. Lindsey,...

Four of us were to shown not to a table, but two tiny loveseats facing a coffee table. This was definitely not what we wanted. When we asked for a regular table, the hostess refused with snooty "you should've asked for a regular table." So rude! Well, how is one to know! One would assume the tables are regular! As exp...
Read More On Citysearch wondrousworld 4/1/2008 - Fatty Sushi For Fat PricesNot only is Umi overrated, the sushi is bordering on gross. The fish is fresh and high quality - don't get me wrong - but all of the rolls are covered with spicy mayo and often deep fried. Forget about getting a nice clean roll with the taste of the sea. Walking out of this place, your mouth will burn like spicy mayo...you will barely even taste the fish. I honestly don't know what the owner ...

Our waitress was not friendly,even though she should've known she would get big tip from our table. She rushed us to order, then we waited long until the sushi came.

One of the diners in our party ordered a particular sushi roll. The roll took a long time to arrive (everyone else was half-way through their meal). Several bites in, the diner issued yelp and pulled out a piece of glass from her mouth! That's right, ...
Read More On Citysearch benrawk 12/3/2007 - Nice ambience, great location, mediocre food, and waitress with an attitudeThis place has a nice ambience. We did not experience what the other reviewers were raving about when it comes to quality seafood. In fact all 3 of us were truly dissapointed. We like the miso soup but the sashimi were not all that fresh and the cod was burnt. It didn't help that we were waited upon by a waitress with an attitude. I may go back again but perhaps only for happy hour not dinner.

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/26/2007 - Best I've had in SeattleI've been to Seattle many times over the past 8 years and I've been on the lookout for a great sushi restaurant for the past five. Now you'd think that would be a dime a dozen in Seattle (right on the coast, super fresh fish, long history of Japanese population), but in my book I'd not yet found a place that matched up. Yes, I'm from Minneapolis and you may think that means, "ew, sushi in the mid...
Read More On Citysearch jdurra 10/25/2007 - Best Darn Sushi in SeattleA friend of mine took me to Umi for the first time on a late Thursday night about a month ago. He said; "it was the best he had ever had". I said; "I'll be the judge of that I've been eating sushi long before it was trendy" (18yrs). We were seated promptly and began browsing the menu and I was shocked at the selection. I had a hard time making up my mind. On top of that the prices were very ...
Read More On Citysearch lil_q_t 9/12/2007 - Bad Service, bad foodI consider myself a sushi connoisseur and enjoys trying out new sush restaurants. I did not expect Umi Sake House to taste like sushi made in Japan or even Vancouver B.C. However, I thought it would be similar to I Love Sushi or Shiro's. I was greatly disappointed with their service and freshness of their sushi. Stomach ached for two days after eating at this place. They try to reinvent class...

My husband and I went there both regular price hour and happy hour. Happy hour price was unbeatable and quality (and quantity) of sushi was same as regular price hour. Only thing I could ask more for would be sushi rice quality but I may be asking too much :) We tried same...

The food was good and pretty inexpensive for sushi. The happy hour does have good prices on the rolls, but the happy hour sashimi was pretty expensive for what you get. The specialty rolls are good and quite big. I would go again.

Truly, if you're going to judge a sushi restaurant, it only makes sense to talk about the fish! Try to find bluefin toro or uni anywhere else in the city that tastes better; I couldn't.

Hours are 4-6 in the bar area, 4-8 only in the front (too quiet in front), and 11 - close. The bartender works really fast and he's great to watch. The regular dinner menu is pretty spendy for what you get so I would only come here for either just drinks or just for happy hour. They've decorated...

The prices were low and the quality and quantity of food was high. We ordered garlic shortribs, lemongrass chicken, and 5 sushi dishes. This was all under $40. Great for sharing.

Cheaply constructed, poorly painted, it gives the impression they slapped it together in a few weekends.

The sashimi was pretty good, but we found ...

Being a sushi critic myself, I was very skeptical on trying out a new restaurant.
