I had the delicious Beef Short Ribs for lunch, very satisfying! The service was first rate! We will be back next time we are in the area. The ambiance was classic Japanese Sushi bar from the 1980's, nice woodwork in a peaceful setting. read more

Seated right away in a spacious booth for an early Friday night dinner at this Japanese restaurant tucked in the corner of a strip mall. The atmosphere was well lit and airy, and the service was friendly and appropriately attentive. We were hungry after a long work day so we dove into their spicy ahi tuna salad that included a generous amount of tuna surrounded by avocado and tortilla chips, nestled on iceberg lettuce with sliced cucumbers and seaweed salad. We also enjoyed their miso soup and dinner salad with creamy miso dressing as well. We followed up with their fried breaded oysters which were nicely fried and remained juicy. The star of the dinner was definitely the medium sushi/sashimi boat! There were thick slices of fresh tasting sashimi (eg, ahi, hamachi, sake, escolar, etc) along with nigiri sushi (eg, ebi, sake, unagi, hirami, albacore, etc) and decorated with two tempura shrimp. The cold bottles of Asahi extra dry were a great accompaniment too! read more

The sushi is AMAZING and super fresh. We ordered the lion king, dragon roll, hamachi sashimi, & salmon teriyaki bento box. Everything was so delicious and fresh. It was so good we ended up ordering more. We added the hamachi belly nigiri and salmon belly nigiri. So good! The customer service is outstanding as well. We loved the big booth they have for our large family. I highly recommend this place! read more

Ume Sushi - Demolished Spicy Pork - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Came in with my daughter. And we were starving. Cute place. Unfortunately we weren't ever acknowledged. We literally sat there for 20 min! When I'm assuming the owner, by her ordering people around and yucking it up with friends. We literally just stood there. my daughter wanted to leave after 8 min. I stood there like hello. Then a family of 4 walked in and they were immediately greeted and sat immediately. Handed menus! I guess unless you look like the owners or are regulars your money isn't wanted here! Thoroughly DISGUSTED! Unfortunately this doesn't allow for -0 stars! They lost a great tipper and possibly a regular customer. As my normal sushi spot closed recently. The owners retired. No pics because I knew I was NOT going to promote this restaurant. Especially on Google where I have 600,000 likes on my reviews! Boooo on this spot! read more

Very good sushi, would highly recommend the Ume Love and Samurai sushi rolls. Great service and very friendly staff

Tried this place because of the good yelp reviews and overall this is a place I would have to revisit because after the first view I'm torn. The great was the sashimi! It was fresh and delicious and had a very good flavor to it. I had the salmon, yellowtail and tuna and all were great! The not so good. I had I believe it's called fhe Dancing Queen role and roll was falling apart and the combination of the different ingredients didn't pare well. The ingredients altogether looked great and something similar to what I have eaten before, but something just didn't sit well with me. The service was a little slow too as it appears this is a mom and pop shop and only the sushi chef making the rolls and an older lady was serving and taking care of about 6 tables and one had a party of 7. So it was a bit slow. Overall like I said I would have to try this place again and hoping they have more servers and I would try a different roll and definitely have the sashimi as that was the best! The ambiance is local sushi place where locals eat. read more

Salad dressing was a lot of mayo based grossness. Sushi was almost stale tasting with old rice. Service is great. Food is sub par.

What a hidden gem in the corner of Gateway Square- my favorite local sushi spot! Cute ambiance inside, lots of seating options, and they always play 80s music. We usually get the same server who's super kind, and the sushi chef always goes out of his way to say hi! So sweet. The rolls usually come out within 10 minutes and are always beautifully prepared. Usually stuffed to the brim, so sometimes they arrive a bit broken but not complaining! No skimping on the fish, and always very fresh. Usually pretty empty whenever we come in, this spot deserves to be more popular! read more

Great food and service. Large menu with lots of choices. Quality of the fish was excellent.

Ume Sushi is located in the Gateway Square Shopping Center. It was a bit confusing at first, as my navigation lead me to the back end of the restaurant. Parking is a bit hit or miss here, as it gets pretty busy here.I ordered ahead on the phone, so it was pretty quick - my order was ready within 15 minutes. I ordered their Sake Roll, which a bit pricey for what you get. It does come with 8 pieces, instead of 6 pieces, which sort of justifies the price a bit. The salmon was decent, it had a slight fishy taste to it, but overall was alright with a bit more soy sauce. read more

We ordered the beef sukiyaki and samurai roll. It was very delicious and big portion of everything. There was a lot of vegetables inside with great flavor. The samurai roll was a mix of tuna and salmon. The service was very nice! The sushi chefs greeted us right away when we walked in to get seated. They were very friendly and checked in on us to make sure everything was good. We will definitely be coming back soon. read more

They give such great service. They are willing to customize your sushi requests! I strongly recommend their baked and cooked sushi as well! I can't say anything bad at all, loved the hospitality, quality of food, and the flavor! Coming again! Our number 1 sushi place right now. read more

Sashimi boat has very large and fresh cuts of fish! Dragon roll and bad boy roll were very good and filling.

It's been a while since we've come to Ume Sushi - but the ambience and service is pretty memorable. Definitely a small family owned business and how you feel when dining and leaving matters to the hosts. You will be served with a smile for sure. The food was pretty good and the options are what you would normally expect from a sushi house spot like theirs - from the rolls to the bento options. They definitely meet the standard of taste and the price point is what the general costs are of these times... I think if I lived in the area this would be a go to spot for sushi rolls and bento. read more

I am not from the inner east bay, but stopped by this place (as a 2nd choice due to my first choice was too busy) and I have to say this place is da bomb for the price. All fish tasted fresh, and they had abalone sashimi which also was delicious. Recommend this place, especially for the value! Will be coming back for sure! read more

Customer service was amazing and so was the food! My first time here, we ordered the sashimi combo, miso soup, jalapeño hamachi, and 'dancing queen' roll. All the food was very good and the fish was super fresh. Will be back here :) read more

Great baked rolls and friendly staff. I liked the lion king especially. It was a good baked rolls

Excellent sushi and good portions. Miso soup is perfect. Not too rich or bland. I had the Oh, My God roll (favor burst) and hamachi hand roll (huge sashimi pieces), yesterday. I had to come back. Today, I had the Hae-Dup--Bap. More sashimi than rice. Yummy and healthy. I so glad I came to this place. I needed something different from Amakara (which I love too). This place isn't as fancy or loud. It's a family run establishment with good food and good seating arrangements and privacy on the booths. read more

Ume Sushi is a true hidden gem in Pleasanton. This is a recent find and was pleasantly surprised that they have quality sushi here and it is top-notch. I tried the Lambada roll and it was packed with flavor & freshness. The service was fast and it made it convenient place for lunch. It's not a huge place, so it feels personal and relaxed. Great spot for a casual dinner. If you're a sushi lover in the area, it's a must-try. read more

Highlights: - Uni was fresh - Tempura was crispy and didn't feel too oily - Good service - Fair prices I also ordered scallops which were pretty good. Soba was good, but the dipping sauce was a little sweet (I was expecting a saltier bonito flavor). Hamachi Kama was a decent size. Tea was pretty good. read more
