Wonderful service, our waitress was attentive and helpful. The food was exceptional. Korean prepared snapper was delicious as was the Thai curry chicken. The latter portion was huge. We always love and share the crispy tofu as appetizer.

Umi is an amazing experience. Ashley was so great. Her sake recommendations were phenomenal. We were able to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and like always, the food was amazing. We are still arguing over which courses were the best. The black cod, the King, and Spanish Mackerel were astounding. Of course, the chef spoiled us with some toro for one of our eleven courses.
