    Still a solid choice for reasonably priced sushi and sashimi. I ordered an assortment of items and had them delivered via Uber Eats. The quality was somewhere between mid and good, which is pretty solid for the price. There was no fishy taste, and the fish was creamy and smooth. The teriyaki plate I got was pretty good too, and it was only about $10. Overall, it's still my go-to spot for affordable fish.

    The beef udon was good and so was the sushi we had to eat. 2. Garlic Edamame 38. Beef Udon 146. Jessica Tempura Roll 114. Spicy Tuna Roll

    The food was great. It's a no frills place and the food is good. The Udon soup was good and the sushi we had. You order the food at the counter. Easy and simple.The server was very pleasant.

    Delicious Tempura roll
    Barb M.

    My family and I love Umebana, we always leave with leftovers, they serve you so much food. The owners are so sweet and nice and kind. The vegetable tempura is a favorite, as well as the teriyaki chicken, tofu bento plate, and california roll and vegetarian roll. We can't wait to return again and again! Thank You Umebana!

    99. California Roll - really yummy
    Melinda B.

    Umebana was delicious and fresh. I think the restaurant just opened, or they're still getting some secure footing, so the place looks a little unpolished? But the food makes up for it! I was feeling a little basic, so I ordered a California Roll, Philadelphia Role, eel sushi and vegetable tempura. California Roll Krab meat was nicely flavored and cool touch. They were perfect mouth bites and I was very satisfied. They went great with soy sauce and wasabi, and also Siracha. Philadelphia Roll Salmon was fresh with a good portion of cream cheese. Also, perfect mouth bites. Eel Sushi One of the best eel bites I've had. They were warm, perfectly cooked and blended beautifully with the rice, as I chewed. They were also generous sizes, while not being too big to fit in your mouth in one bite. Some eel have chewy, collagen textures. I'm not sure if it's a bad job at preparing the fish, but that was no issue here. Vegetable Tempura Very nice crispy texture and nicely cooked vegetables. I got onion, broccoli, orange squash, sweet potato and green squash. The tempura sipping sauce was also great. I totally recommend and would like le to return.

    92. Spicy Salmon Hand Roll

    Came here for a late lunch on a Saturday, they had a few tables filled up which is a great sign. I've been here many time before, but always forget to write a review. You order at the counter and pay, you can dine in or take it to go. They have plenty of seating which is great. I ordered the #5 I believe which come with 4 pieces of spicy tuna, 4 Cali rolls, crunch roll and a salad and it was very affordable. Oh ya and the spicy salmon hand roll, I cant forget that. Everything was really good, the fish was fresh and well prepared, the dressing for the salad was also good. Def coming back to try the fresh rolls.

    This is our go to quick lunch or dinner place. The food is good ne they have a good selection of Bento Boxes. I always get the #45 beef teriyaki mixed tempura with 4 PCs California Roll, they are served with Miso soup And Salad We always get the order to go, so we have not have any encounter as dine in customers. The place always looks clean and organized. Ample parking In the shopping area .

    Outside

    Food is very good. Servings are good for the price. Service crew are very friendly and happy . Place is clean . Sits enough people. Check their time schedule before going by calling the restaurant. You will have an impression that this is not a busy place but since we came in till we left a lot of people had been coming in a out. Dine in or take out. I am happy we celebrated our anniversary here . Perfect 10 !

    Large Beef Teriyaki Bowl, $8.95 prior to tax
    Vic C.

    Umebana is located in the same plaza as Little Caesar's, Auto Zone and Grocery Outlet. I have nevered tried Umebana but have had Maki Yaki when it was here many years before. Anyways, I decided to give Umebana a try and ended up making an order over the phone. I ordered: Large Beef Teriyaki Bowl, $8.95 prior to tax- My husband wanted to have some teriyaki so he picked this out. The portion size of the entree is huge and could easily feed 2-3 people. Definitely a great value for the price. I thought the beef was tasty, along with the teriyaki sauce. Salmon bowl w/ complementary miso soup, $15.95 prior to tax- I wanted fresh fish so I opted for the salmon bowl. This meal is also served with a small side of miso soup. I liked the flavor of the soup and liked that it was still nice and hot when we picked up our order and brought it home. The salmon pieces in this bowl was small but came with 11 pieces. It tasted just fine. I also liked the seaweed salad and 2 avocado slices in this bowl. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Overall, I was pretty full after eating it all and felt satisfied. -------------------------- (Total= $27.27 after tax) I was surprised when the employee who took my order told me that my order would be ready in 10 minutes. That was incredibly fast. I called around 5:08 pm and it was ready for me when I had arrived about 18 minutes later (I wasn't expecting it to be ready so quickly so I had to take care of a few things before leaving the house to go pick it up). I'm kind of disappointed that I had not tried Umebana sooner (when it was Maki Yaki, I just thought the place was okay, which is probably why I had stayed away). But glad that I finally have and will be back again.

    31. Chicken and Beef Teriyaki Plate with Salad - very good and so... much... food.... Prices are really affordable, too!

    Is there All You Can Eat? And large group okay?

    I don't think there is an all you can eat option. There is a ton of seating though so I think they could accommodate a large group.

Service is always so friendly and kind! The first time I came, staff gave my friend and I a free dessert to try out which was super nice of them.

Prices are a bit high but the quality and service make up for it. Their sushi rolls are a highlight- fresh and deliciously seasoned. The flavor profile of the salmon truffle roll is complex with a nice citrus note while the wagyu roll is tender and umami. Can't wait to come back and try some more of their rolls! The desserts blew me away. That honey toast is the best I've had anywhere in the world. The crunchiness is perfect and while there is a crust to the toast, it's so thinly baked and so well flavored with honey that it tastes just as good as the center pieces! The croissant pudding was amazing as well; the light whipped cream and matcha ice cream were perfect complements. Free parking is plentiful on the streets, lots, or surrounding neighborhoods.

My waiter was amazing and really went above and beyond, helping with the high chair (and sanitizing it for me), kids plates and drink cup, and swooping in within 30 seconds of a massive spill my baby made. SO impressed. The food was just as impressive! Order via a tablet at your table, and it sends the order to your waiter who confirms it. Their Chicken karaage appetizer was crisp outside and juicy in the center with great flavor. Their Wagyu Curry was great as well, with tender wagyu pieces and a nice curry base. Their chicken katsu curry was also perfectly cooked and tender as well. Will need to come back for dinner as no sushi at lunch.

It felt a little stuffy inside because of the hot weather, but they had a floor fan that helped cool the space. Ordering is done through an iPad, which made the process quick and easy.

The tonkatsu arrived hot, crunchy, and tasty. There is a parking lot in the back, or you can try to find street parking in the front. Service was a little slow toward the end of our meal, as we had to wait for our check and to-go boxes, but overall, it was a good experience.

Great service and nice attentive. The reason why 4 stars because of the tomato and raw vegetables portions. I'm not sure if they still serve Japanese tomato as they did in the past year, past year was a whole tomato, now they did couple pieces. Spending close to $300 for 2 people sounds over priced. I wish they would do better on the veggies snack and tomato .. those are cheap veggies not likely the meat. Hope they upgrade something to impress their menu. We don't expect the return.
