    It was my wife birthday and she wanted the waiter to take a picture of us. The floor supervisor kept rushing the waiter off and it put a damper on the dinner. This was done twice

    Excellent service! Like top quality. Food was really good. I prefer the yellow tail jalapeno at a different restaurant but Umi’s is very good. Love the lobster toban-yaki. Spider roll was yummy. Sake negiri also tasty. Chocolate bento box dessert was amazing. It’s pricey but we will return for special occasions.

    We had Micheal as our server. He was very attentive and a great server. The food and the drinks were amazing and we highly recommend them. To leave out spending under $200 for 1/2 oysters, two seafood entrees, 4 drinks, and 2 desserts, I found it to be a great value as well.
