My family and I Came in around 4 ish. We could sit where I wanted and was greeted shortly after. The atmosphere was inviting but the restaurant was smaller. I wanted a little bit of everything and that's what I got! I ordered crab wontons, the good time roll, and a chicken dinner bowl. My family ordered a cucumber roll with cream cheese, a dinner plate with shrimp (habachi style ), and a dinner plate with chicken (teriyaki style). The crab wontons were great! They were filled and a little sweet. It also came with a lot! The sushi roll I had wasn't my favorite but the chicken dinner bowl was YUMMMMY. So so tasty. I used a little "yum yum" that they provided and it was good but truly not needed. My family loved everything they ordered. I believe one also had a salad and said it was good just the dressing was not very gingery which they enjoyed. I definitely will Be back! I want to try some other rolls to get a solid opinion on the sushi , otherwise the dinner bowl was so tasty I could just eat that every time. read more

I've ordered takeout from Umi a handful of times now and they are a great option for takeaway Japanese. The hibachi steak with fried rice and veggies is a huge portion that I can get 2 or 3 meals out of! And it reheats so well! It's my favorite item so far. The hibachi chicken didn't have a ton of flavor, but the chicken pieces were moist and plentiful. I also wish their yum yum sauce had a little more of a spice flare, but that's just my preference. It's super easy to call and place an order over the phone. They are always very nice and super fast!! I've never actually dined in, but it's always crowded when I go in and they have plenty of tables for bigger parties. The sushi platters look beautiful and I'll definitely have to try them soon! read more

Sushi was great quality. Very impressed! First time trying sushi here because we usually get the hibachi plates but we'll definitely be returning for our next sushi craving read more

Service was fairly good. We had to ask for refills a couple of times. The server was sweet but wasn't very attentive. The sushi it self was good and fresh. Came fast. The miso soup did not taste like Miso soup more like water. Overall this was an ok sushi experience. read more

Umi Japanese - Just picked up some hibachi chicken, putting it my own dishes and pretending like I cooked it. - Japanese Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

I love their food, truly delicious! The servers are welcoming and nice towards customers, I enjoy eating and going there anytime I can!

A Mt Pleasant treasure. We love this place. Family owned and run for 15 years. They know you when you come in. Also less expensive than you would think. Tonight 5 of us came out. Are and drank for a birthday. It was half what it might have been down town. Get the Crazy Roll. Maybe the best roll in town. read more

Great service, staff here are very friendly. Food is delicious, great hibachi and sushi! Nice atmosphere for dining in and fast prep for take-out. Love this place! read more

We came here for lunch on Sunday and were somewhat disappointed. It's a small local restaurant and I can see the draw being the only sushi place in the Park West community. However the food leaves a lot to be desired, the sushi is smaller than other places, good but I left hungry. My wife wasn't impressed with the rolls and the fried rice was essentially white rice with soy sauce on it. I really wanted to enjoy this place but it wasn't up to the standards we have come to expect with our sushi adventures. read more

The food was fine. All decent. The sushi was a bit mid. The hibachi was above average. Solid meal but not over the top.

We always do take out from here and usually the same thing. Hibachi chicken dinner with yum yum sauce. Easy. Quick and good value. I usually order from the car and it's ready when I get there. Nice people behind the register. Always pleasant. read more

Decidedly average Japanese-inspired restaurant in the Publix shopping center on Park West. The hibachi and teriyaki dishes are lazily prepared and overly salty and saucy. I think they expect you to drown everything in yum-yum sauce to hide the fact the protein is generally overcooked and in insufficient quantities. The sushi rolls are minuscule and prepared with subpar, barely sushi-grade fish. There are far better, more consistent Japanese-inspired restaurants in Mount Pleasant (e.g. Tokyo Bistro, Wasabi, Sushi Taro), but this place is serviceable if you are in the vicinity and need an immediate fix. (2.25 stars). read more

Way too expensive. Beef ramen was 14 dollars and could barely feed a newborn child. Coke was diluted to near water level

This place is a must for Sunday dinner, a rainy night or anytime! We normally get it to-go and the portions are large for the noodles and hibachi. Love the hibachi (both the chicken and steak are great!) and the sushi always tastes fresh. Great prices for the portions and always quick service read more

Good quality and decent prices for the amout of food we received. Service was a bit slow when we visited but once we got our order in, the food came quickly. Seemed to be a popular spot and takeout was also an option. read more

I love this place. It offers great takeout, always great service, and food that has never let me down. It's great for a simple quick meal when you don't have time to cook at home. read more

Food was pretty good, service was extremely quick. Good place to go if you want a quick bit to eat in under 30mins. The restaurant itself was small, with a row of booths that allowed privacy. read more

The sushi was delicious! The Salmon (sake) was extremely fresh and buttery, it melted in my mouth. The service was quick and attentive. The restaurant was comfortable and it was reasonably priced! I have been to many sushi places across the country and this is my new favorite. Unfortunately, I live 2.5 hours away. But I will be back! read more

Really delicious steak hibachi for take out. I only wish they would put the au jus like they use to enhance the flavor

Unfortunately We couldn't find the ideal taste in California roll, onion soup, and noodle. But the shrimp tempura was nice.

We ordered take out at UMI and the end to end process was outstanding! The phone order was taken quickly and the food was ready to pick up within the promised 15 minute window. The food was piping hot, exactly as ordered and delicious. The portion size is a great value for the price, providing ample "seconds" the next day. The interior of the restaurant and the service staff also lend themselves to a great "dine-in" experience as we have experienced in the past. read more

i have been coming to umi for a few years now the staff is great the restaurant is clean and the food is filling and tasty never had a complaint here before. I would definitely recommen. read more

Slightly disappointed with the quality of the sashimi particularly the yellowtail. The rainbow roll was sloppily made and fell apart. The sushi was over stuffed in the plastic container. read more

Umi Japanese - Receipt - Japanese Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Local restaurant, good food, nice staff, reasonable prices excellent udon dishes, good carry out place

If I could give zero stars I would. Ordered ramen noodles where most places it's soup. It came as a stir fry with soy. When the waiter saw my face he said "You were expecting soup right ?" So based on his response this must happen often. Having a soy allergy I couldn't eat it. Waiter REFUSED to take it off of my bill stating it says stir fried noodles it only says it under the UDON. He claimed it was for both. I felt this was a scam and this place must have done this many times. read more

Umi Japanese - Menu only showing under Udon noodles that it is stir fried - Japanese Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

This place surprised us with how good it was! I ordered the hibachi chicken dinner and it was HUGE. Definitely took half it home. The veggies were cooked just right, perfect amount of seasoning on everything, and it felt like good quality ingredients. I love yum yum sauces with hibachi. My husband got the beef udon noodles and I liked his dish even more than mine. I stole several bites. The beef was super tender and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The sauce was slightly sweet and so tasty. The price point is great for the quality! read more

Umi Japanese - Beef udon - Japanese Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Best Japanese in mount pleasant! Super quick too! Prices are fair, portions are fair!

Very good for a quick lunch option and delicious hibatchi. At our table, we ordered chicken hibatchi, steak and shrimp hibatchi, and the 3 roll sushi lunch. All were very good. It is a smaller restaurant but it was cute for the size. The restaurant was only moderately busy at 1pm on a weekday, which was perfect. For 3 adults, we got a booth and the restaurant was really cute with Japanese decor. The staff was very friendly and did a great job. I would recommend this place for lunch during the week for sure. Enjoy! read more

Good quick meal, we eat here often, consistently a good place to eat. Friendly staff

Eat in or take out - your choice. This is our go to place for eating great tasting Japanese food. We love drinking their hot green tea on a cold night. My grandson got purple all week so we treated him to chicken Udon noodles minus the veggies. He loves the gyoza appetizer with the sweet sesame sauce. We had excellent attentive service. Our food came our fast for a busy Friday and everyone was full and satisfied. read more

Surprisingly good! Stopped by on a whim because we were in the area. The inside isn't that special but the food was excellent and priced well. Seems to be a big hang out for some of the local high school kids. My children love their sushi and we will be back often. read more

It's as good as Yamato's hibachi without the show or price. Good, hmmm...go for lunch and grab a bowl or dish.

Umi is a small Japanese restaurant in a shopping center and can easily get overlooked. But I have found it to be very consistent with good food at reasonable prices. My daughter loves the salmon lover plate. It's sushi and sashimi and is always fresh. Personally I go for the hibachi here. The serving size is extremely generous. They also have a large Togo business and I can see that would be appealing as there are not alot of tables. Really only one that can accommodate more than four people. But if you can sit down the service is always fabulous read more
