Ask to sit out in the outdoor/skylight area during the day. A ton of light comes in and there's a garden with a small waterfall. A very peaceful, calming environment.

The chef's choice sashimi is amazing and offers the freshest fish of the day. Crunchy Lizard rolls and Street Fighter rolls are very tasty. Green Tea Tiramisù is a great way to end a great meal.

Surprisingly amazing for vegetarians! We had the Lucky Leprechaun and Ladybug (seasonal special). Modern take on sushi (not traditional but tasty and innovative).

Impressed w the extensive food & drink menu. Quality of sashimi was great! Hotter Than Hell roll - yummy & spicy! Orange Crush Roll was nice & sweet! Super cute place! Definitely recommend!
Andy FrancoSeptember 15, 2015
Went late for happy hour. Some of the best sashimi I've ever had. Had the Sushi set A and the Seattle roll. The prawn appetizer was delicious too!

Make sure to get your Open Table points by reserving a table online! Oh, and the pickles are fantastic. Nice and dark inside, too. Great ambiance.
Ariana VoyerSeptember 5, 2017
The moonraker roll was yummy, but spicy! We enjoyed the omakase w/high-grade fish from locally & all over. The lychee sake cocktail & appetizers of black cod, salmon collars &geo duck were highlights!

We have tasted more than ten different sushi types and all of them was awesome. Also sake is great. Reservation is needed for sure, it is very crowded at dinner time.

Get any fresh fish offered on their daily menu! The wild salmon, white king salmon, sockeye salmon, and fresh uni sushi were great!

Seattle has a lot of Japanese influence, and this is one of the best places to eat and drink it. Or try their other location, Momiji.

Fantastic experience near Pike Place Market. Prices are reasonable, the sushi is fresh and the sake selection is excellent. Enjoy!
Melinda MiracleNovember 14, 2016
Happy Hour is the best! 4:30 to 6:00. Get the Bad Boy Roll. It is fully cooked and has a little kick. Sushi set A is also amazing if you like sashimi.
Ben GutnikOctober 30, 2016
Amazing sushi. The salmon grade is out of this world. You must try the Alaskan Salmon sashimi and Scallops sushi.
Michael CoppolaSeptember 9, 2014
Cool ambiance, interesting restroom doors. Restaurant is fairly large and areas will be opened and closed as needed. Great sake selection and the salmon flight, when offered, is excellent.
Brian StraussOctober 8, 2014
Fantastically creative yet seemingly authentic at the same time some how. Great chirashi and special ❤️beet roll!
Joey CarmelloNovember 8, 2014
Sit at the sushi bar after 11am. Great service and atmosphere.
Andrew JMarch 25, 2017
The Buri-Hamachi with Uzura is amazing! Pair it with the 206 Roll, and it's perfect!
Michelle RSeptember 6, 2016
Seaweed Salad. Salmon flight. Tuna belly. Kingpin. Spicy sunset. Mochi flight. Perfect meal for two! Casual atmosphere, great food.
Joanna C.January 20, 2013
The Seattle roll is probably one of the most freshest rolls I've tried! And if you want something absolutely addicting, try the Rockstar and Scorpion roll. So dangerous...
Karthik RamanMarch 23, 2019
Good happy hour. I liked the ginger chicken, short ribs, crispy prawns, and agedashi tofu. No wait at 5:30 on a Friday
Rachel EubanksMarch 11, 2014
The Belltown Barbie roll was huge (and the BEST sushi I've had in my life). Plus this place was right by my hostel! Cheers for Belltown!
MarzenaSeptember 21, 2012
For a quiet, romantic meal: request a table in the back, behind the sushi bar. It's a separate room with dim light, where you can hear your date. Looked romantic, ahhh, next time.
Kay MokJanuary 17, 2015
happy hour everyday 4-8pm at the bar! $5 rolls and $8 for 5 pieces of sashimi, free edamame. green tea tiramisu was very good.
Jacquie RooneySeptember 20, 2016
Happy hour everyday from 4-6pm. Plenty of rolls and hot dishes to choose from and free edamame! Great value.
GAugust 10, 2014
Went during their happy hours which is every day ( even saturday and sunday). Food was good and they have selection of japanese sake and beer.

Late night happy hour starts at 11p! As expected, the sake list is long and fun to explore
Patricia LeeJuly 25, 2015
My friend and I kept high giving each other during this meal because it was so good. Everything is delicious. Sake menu rocks.
Carl Lu YinDecember 31, 2015
The happy hour menu is great. Try the Seattle roll! The short rib is also good.
Miraj ShahJuly 12, 2015
Vegetable sushi is top notch! Great flavors and great plating. Fish is super fresh. Definitely coming back for more.
Annika CurrenJanuary 24, 2015
They have *incredible* food and service- even at the bar! The sashimi of chef's choice was an amazing experience of flavors.
DreadloxArastaNovember 26, 2017
The Bad boy roll is great... the service was really great at the bar... clean
AliceOctober 10, 2019
Amazing HH prices for sashimi, sake, rolls. Nice vibe. Can't beat that for late night food.
KK ChowSeptember 28, 2013
Their omakase is really good. you can taste the freshness and flavour of the fish. altho it looks simple, it is just delicious
Joanna MileosJanuary 19, 2014
Awesome sushi. Highly reccommend. Happy hour is a must. Get there early or make a resy. These guys are always busy.
AJ JindalNovember 22, 2015
Amazing amazing sushi even better than Shiro. Must try Monalisa rolls
Joshua LindOctober 25, 2011
Upscale because of the location... which includes price... but a great place to try the flight of sake. They know what they're doing. Food is just plain unquestioningly good.
David EldridgeOctober 5, 2013
Happy hour here until 8 p.m. at the bar is a fantastic deal for high quality food. Sake was delicious.
Matt LewandowskyAugust 9, 2018
Despite the posted hours, they're often not open till 2am. The door is locked as early as Midnight sometimes when I try to stop in.

Great sushi! Unique combination but always good.
Dee 🐳June 14, 2012
30$ sashimi omakase was impressive with the fish selection. Sit at the sushi bar if it's past the hr when you are a table of 1.

Very delicious sushi here. You have to try the Mona Lisa and Tarantula dishes
Christianna SterlingMarch 3, 2012
the food is amazing but the service needs a lot of help. sit in the front porch for extended happy hour, and try the crispy calamari!!
Joel WaiteMarch 14, 2013
I can't get past the 008 roll. Amazing! The fresh lime and jalapeño adds an amazing touch to the roll.
SOctober 1, 2015
Good sushi, even better during happy hour. Lots of room, short wait even without reservations.
Michael JMarch 29, 2013
Try the "Hot as Hell" roll. The best! Can't wait to return. Nothing else like it. The heat builds up as you eat each piece.

The best Japanese restaurant and one of the best happy hours in Seattle. Great food, great ambience, and great service. Cannot go wrong at Umi's.
Roger SchonfeldAugust 8, 2014
Shocking ignorance of sake given the place's name. Nice fish, but no sushi master in evidence so for example "omakase" comes as a sampler set rather than piece by piece. Fun but not a destination.
Ryan GallagherJune 6, 2017
Good sushi at a trendy sushi spot. The back room with the glass ceiling is nice
Alaa ShakerDecember 3, 2014
Nice place, great service. Wasn't impressed w/ the sushi though. Aside from the Americanized-vs-authentic argument, the sauces added were too watery. That made the inside soggy & the rice fall apart.
