    Ordered take out from this place and while they took quite a while to make my rolls they were delicious and fresh and I'd totally come back! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small restaurant with a calm vibe and a lot of locals eating in there but their rolls are fresh and the service is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I waited about 20mins even after having ordered ahead online but in the end it was worth it.

    Very good sushi. Had the sushi and sashimi and it was fresh and delicious. Had the chicken katsu which was just a pc of friend chicken not overly exciting. Service was very good.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice clean ambience is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got a table Lightning fast at 4:30 on Saturday. Service was great! Waitress was on it. Happy with the sushi although do wish my salmon avocado had a bit more. Would perhaps return for their lunch special if I was in the area

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in, it smells a bit fishy, but the food is good and the sushi is fresh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The décor feels dated--faded colors, worn furniture, and harsh lighting give it an uninviting vibe. The prices are great, but it's definitely better for takeout than dining in.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute spot on the UWS.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The fish was fresh. The sashimi cuts could've been a bit more leaner. Good service and extremely affordable.

    Delivery: Triple 3 X Roll (left), Salmon Avocado Roll(right)

    Review based on a delivery order so cannot comment on the ambiance: I was really craving sushi and was hanging out in the Harlem area so after browsing places for a while, set my heart on Mido. I was not sure what to expect but they offered a few rolls that caught my interest. One thing I noticed about their menu though is that they are very heavy on the spicy tuna/spicy salmon roll options and I wish they had more of a fresh variety with regular fish for some of their specialty rolls (since not all people enjoy spicy food). My food was delivered to the apartment fairly quickly and looked quite aesthetic and intact despite the delivery ordeal! I ordered: -Salmon avocado roll: very nice set of 6 maki rolls. Thought it had a good proportion of salmon to avocado. The fish was fresh and the avocado was silky and delicious. Loved the amount of rice! Didn't feel overpowering but was substantial enough. -Triple X roll: this was good but I probably would not order again to eat alone since I think this roll is better shared. It has a very generous amount of spicy tuna wrapped in soy paper and topped with either fresh salmon or tuna and some spicy Mayo. Since it is very fish heavy and there is no balancing element such as rice, it can become overwhelming very quickly. However, the quality of the fish is very good and the roll itself is filling+ really flavorful. A pretty good option for someone who is avoiding carbs or just wants a ton of protein. Alternatively, good if split between multiple people. Overall, I was very content with the food! Not the absolute best sushi I've had but definitely solid enough to quench my sushi cravings. Will certainly order food from here in the future given the very reasonable pricing, quick service, and good sushi.

    Yellowtail Scallion Roll
    Dion J.

    Ordered sushi lunch box. No idea why this place has a high rating. Sushi looked gross, seems they use old leftover pieces to make rolls. Spicy salmon roll was chopped up (somewhat) as is pretty standard, however the tuna avo roll was made of a bunch of smaller irregular grey looking pieces, yellowtail scallion roll was basically minced fish. Threw out 5 pieces cause it looked disgusting. This aside, sushi was tasteless.

    Shrimp Shumai
    Sonya H.

    I have been to this place many times before, but this time I was looking for blue crab and grilled yellowtail collar. They did not have either. However, I ordered shrimp shumai and it was delicious! My miso soup was good as well. They do have happy hour wines at a good price. I would recommend this place. It's solid and the sushi is good!

    Sometimes I crave sashimi. Like yesterday. Used Yelp to find a $12 bento box lunch. Except price had gone up to $15. Alas. Still a good deal. A cute place. I did takeout. Fish was good. As was rice, miso, and the rest. I enjoyed. Would go there again.

    Chicken katsu- salty
    Donesha T.

    I was able to walk in and seated right away which was great. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Ordered shishito peppers to start. They were tasty. A bit salty and not as blistered as I wanted. But still good. Ordered miso soup and loved it! Ordered chicken katsu. I didn't enjoy the sauce. Very salty. The chicken was very juicy. But I will say they use a lot of salt in their food. Maybe sushi is better here

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

Now, having said that although the food was decent, there were a couple of questionable choices in the overall presentation and plating and the sauces that accompany the black cod bento box I ordered, which did not actually come in a box. Everything is brought out piecemeal so you don't get an actual meal before you, but a lot of little plates brought out at different times, kinda like the Japanese equivalent of Tapas. We have been to this location twice, hoping the first time was a fluke, and trying to give them a chance only for the second time to be worse. The waitstaff is entirely disengaged from the customers. They rush you through the order process and don't explain any of the menu offerings, such as what is the difference between the different platter options. When they do come over, you are greeted with the sweetness and warmth of an unemotionally flat "What do you want?" After you get your food, no one comes over to refill water and cups are initially filled halfway with too much ice. No one comes over to remove plates afterward, and they definitely show no interest in finding out if you are enjoying your meal in the least. The booth we were sat at had not been cleaned after the last party's use so there was sauce all over, and it got on the back of my pants, which I later discovered while walking home...the joy. After eating comes the best part, they come over with these tablets outlining your check on the screen. Meanwhile, the tablets are strapped to their bodies the entire time. They don't allow you to scrutinize the charges in peace, no, they stand there impatiently for the duration either swerving from side to side of tapping their foot signaling discomfort that you're taking way too long. The funny part is the straps have clips to remove the tablets so it's not like it's impossible to leave the tablet and come back shortly. The whole process feels very rushed and pressurized for you to tip with one of the predetermined button selections, which start at 25%. Ummm, service sucked so no, we're definitely NOT starting there. I guess now we're both disappointed. Eventually, you get no paper receipt for your records even if you ask for it to be printed. And the whole time, the waitstaff is with you judging you on your tipping and not even being graceful enough to restrain their reaction. So no, not going back, and definitely would not recommend as a place to have a good time. Now, if you're looking for an uncomfortable experience served by someone that completely ignores you during your entire time there and expects an exorbitant tip to boot, then yes, this is the place for you!

Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table.
