this place is Fresh, Fast and Delicious. We went here after visiting Japan last year, craving…read moreauthentic Japanese sushi and this restaurant did not disappoint!! We LOVED every bite and find the preparation, rice to fish ratio well favored on the MEAT side... Back when this was Joe's Sushi, we did not frequent here and we live very close, but if you remember Joe's and felt like me, the used WAY too much rice in their sushi and rolls and wouldn't bring more out unless you are all the rice . It felt more like a scam, at Joe's.... NOW that it's UMI SUSHI It's Amazing! We've been back many times, brought other family and friends and everyone loved it. This restaurant is much better now and I can't wait to eat there again. Bonus: The Service is also Great!!!

The sushi here is pretty good for your typical AYCE spot--definitely a step above regular buffet…read moresushi. The tuna and salmon were both tender, moist, and fresh-tasting with no fishy flavor. One thing I noticed is that a lot of the dishes lean a little spicy. Even the veggie udon had a really flavorful broth, but it definitely had a little kick to it. So if you like some heat, you'll probably enjoy a lot of the menu. They offer both a regular AYCE menu and a premium AYCE menu, so you have options depending on what you're looking for. Another big plus: on a super hot SoCal day, their A/C was working really well and kept the restaurant nice and cool. There were plenty of seats when we came in. Inside, they have some unique banner decorations and tree/flower-style designs that give the place a little more character. At the time we visited, there were two sushi chefs and one waiter working, and everything seemed to be running smoothly. Don't let the outside appearance discourage you. From the front, it honestly doesn't look like the kind of place you'd expect to find good sushi, but the food was much better than the exterior suggests. Parking is in the back and is shared with the other businesses in the plaza. Overall, a solid AYCE sushi option in Lakewood, especially if you want something better than basic buffet sushi without going full high-end.

Sake 2 Me Sushi in Cerritos is one of the very few AYCE sushi restaurants that I'll entertain. The…read morewait time is atrocious and they're even more strict about having your entire party present to be seated, but the food is delicious. They have a touch screen tablet available for you to place your orders at your table and there's a timed dining limit. I usually don't have that issue when I go with just my sister or a small group, but I can see it being a challenge for larger parties, so I recommend thinking about your game plan accordingly. Their riceless are yummy and their butter pepper salmon + shrimp nigiri are my favorite. I can easily put away a few plates of those on my own, especially because they use minimal rice for nigiri here. I also love their tuna crunchy rice, but I don't know if they serve that dish anymore, unfortunately. Their appetizers like takoyaki, miso soup, shisito peppers, and spicy garlic edamame are also the bee's knees!

Made a special trip here for dinner and had a really enjoyable night…read more The sashimi was definitely the highlight. Everything tasted very fresh, and the quality of the fish was excellent. I also ordered the hamachi kama, which was cooked really well, although I thought the seasoning was a little mild. They do give you sauce on the side, but I personally would have liked a little more flavor on the fish itself. I also had a bottle of Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo, which was really good and went perfectly with the sashimi. I sat at the sushi bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff was very polite and attentive, and I could hear the sushi chefs speaking Japanese behind the counter, which gave the place a very authentic and professional feel. I ordered quite a bit of food and my bill was around $85 before tip, or about $100 total. For the quality of the food and the overall experience, I thought the price was very reasonable. Overall, a great dinner and a very pleasant evening. I'd definitely come back again.

I'm also glad, but maybe just a little sad, to see that the restaurant has become more popular. On some visits, there's now a short wait 1-2 parties, and sometimes, there is even 5 parties, which is great for them... but it probably means I'll have to start waiting longer in the future! The staff is still friendly and accommodating. Every now and then, there might be a small mix-up with an order, but they've always been quick to fix it, and it's never been a big issue. I usually visit either before 5 p.m. or after 8 p.m., so I can typically avoid the dinner rush and get seated without much of a wait. The sushi is still consistently fresh, and that's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Even during busier visits, the quality has stayed the same, and the food comes out at a good pace without feeling rushed or overwhelming the table all at once. Overall, it's great to see this place continuing to improve while maintaining the quality that made me a regular in the first place. I'll definitely keep coming back!

First time trying this place cause we've sworn off Aiken. Kids absolutely loved it…read more They only have a premium option but it was $35 so not the priciest we've seen. Biggest con is that my 8 and 9 year old count as adults cause of their height. Otherwise, this place has an amazing array of sushi and other foods. Nigiri was a decent size. Not huge but at least not the thimble size pieces at some places. They have noodle and rice options and spam musubi which was the biggest deal for my kids. They have a list of premium items that you only get to order one per person. Although they weren't mind blowing, it was pretty good. Service was great. We regularly received water refills, plates cleaned up and our food came out pretty quickly. Interior was open but if you sit in the middle tables you're right next to the other table. They have a little partition but you can hear all of their conversation. I'm sure this place will become packed but when we went on a Friday evening, there was no wait so 10/10 for that.

He ordered me salmon sashimi (my favorite) and salmon carpaccio with a side of edamame. The salmon sashimi was good and I like how it comes with a side of shredded radish. And the salmon carpaccio was delicious. I had a kick to it. Not sure it it was from the onions or pico de gallo on it. I like how it has the lime vinaigrette to give it that acidic taste. Also provided with shredded radish which was good to eat with the carpaccio. My husband ordered "monkey brain" (stuffed mushroom with cream cheese and spicy salmon). I had a bite of it and I had a great crunch to it. The inside had great umami from the mushroom and spicy salmon and the sauce on top. Definitely recommend this place. And will be ordering from here again.

I love any and everything that has a fusion concept. Was in the mood for sushi, and wanted a drive…read morethru.. somehow.. not to much to ask right? Well they came up and I decided to go. Looking at reviews, I saw a photo of a jalapeño bomb but I didn't see it on the menu online , and the photo didn't have a description. I arrived in the drive thru ( YES THEY HAVE ONE!!! ) and asked if they had jalapeño bombs and they said yes! They call it jalapeño bom. I will say, even though THE jalopeno is larger, I've never had an order that only contained one jalapeño, split in half... these are my go to and they have a minimum of 4 halves, which is 2 jalapeños filled. This only has one jalapeño, split in half filled, for 6.99 which I feel is more on the steep side for just one. They have fusion tacos, which I decided to try because I love signature items. I chose the beef, and they have chicken also or you can do half and half. Cucumbers, onion, and cilantro, teriyaki sauce and hot sauce, 4 to an order for 12.99. They are definitely worth it. But they didn't have the sesame seed garnish topping like I saw on prior photos. The drinks aren't on the menu but you can ask what they have. Customer service was great and food was fresh. And the drive thru is my favorite.

I LOVE this place. I used to come here back when it was Koo Koo Grill, and I loved it then just as…read moremuch as I love it now. Their bom bom fries are my favorite and always a MUST. I don't know what they put in their sauce, but I'm convinced it's addictive. Something about the sauce with the cheese just hits every single time. They also gave me a spicy teriyaki sauce on the side that really packs a punch. It's honestly spicier than I ever anticipated, but in a good way. I brought my boyfriend here for the first time and he got the beef teriyaki bowl, which he said was delicious. Our only complaint is the price. It's a little on the expensive side I feel the portion doesn't scream $15, it kind of screams $10. Still tasty though. I also got a Bom Bom ball to try and... well... it was so good that I ate it before my boyfriend even had a chance to try it. Oops. Maybe next time I'll just buy him his own Overall, still a spot I really enjoy and will definitely keep coming back to.
