Everything here is great. Very fresh sustainable seafood. All the rolls are delicious as are the seafood bowls
I really like Umi - really fresh fish, and a great spot for a weeknight dinner, when you want to wind down, eat something delicious and talk about the day.
A little pricey, but fantastic sushi and super friendly staff. My go-to sushi spot (especially for takeout).
- Consistently great, fresh, sushi. Chirashi bowls are a great value and always delicious. Friendly owner and staff too.
- Agedashi Tofu is PERFECT! Soft tofu, with an ideal fried skin, bonito and delicious broth! Careful - it's served super hot!
Kristen S.October 1, 2016Great nigiri and rolls. Def order the grilled eggplant, too! It was so good we ordered another one right after the first.
they have a daily menu with their fresh fish of the day! never really gets crowded, so ask to sit on the patio!
Bela KJuly 6, 2023The agedashi tofu is fantastic. Great sake selection. Highly recommend the giants roll and the spicy scallop roll.
lunch specials are a great value. favorite item here is the grilled fish. (any of them).
Michelle HommeNovember 30, 2012Delicious sushi, love the dragon roll. Super fresh. Love the staff, top notch sushi chefs. Tasty miso.
Jacy LiMarch 9, 2017Their rolls are Okay. But the sashimi deluxe and chirashi bowls are usually pretty fresh and yum
Jensen HusseyMay 11, 2015Japanese boyfriend says the grated root wasabi ($7 extra) is super mixed with horseradish.
KayeNovember 25, 2012Besides great sushi -- these guys have a wonderful hot sake selection and a gluten-free sushi menu!
SivOctober 16, 2011Great sushi and service. Really enjoyed the Coedo “Ruri” beer. It was a great complement to the sushi.
Max KOctober 26, 2016Pretty expensive for the quantity you get, but the quality is great. Get the fresh specials.
Agatha YuJanuary 17, 2014Their 'small' plates aren't really small. Try out their hamachi Kama and nigiri deluxe!
There selection of craft Japanese beers is a perfect accompaniment to any dish.
Nigiri sampler! Get the toro iwashi. Also ask for the uni special hand roll- I absolutely love the sashimi specials here with some fresh wasabi

While the nigiri sampler is the star here, don't skip small plates they are stellar.
Jeremy PostJune 15, 2010One of the best sushi joints in SF, hands down. Ask the owner for a sake recommendation.
Check the board when you come in - that's what you want to get. Nomtastic.
Mario BarrajaJune 23, 2017Both restaurateur and punters a tad up their own arses however: good selection of Sake a tad uptight - Japanese style.
London NagaiOctober 25, 2015Not sure the hype. Sushi rice was very good, but expensive for what you get. Kani Sunomono was good too.
