If you're going for AYCE, then maybe it's worth it. But dang are the rolls small. We only wanted a few rolls and noted which ones we wanted on the paper. I ordered 3 cooked rolls and when they came out, I was still so hungry afterwards. If I'm not doing AYCE, I'd expect the three rolls to at least be filling. They must have lost our ticket as well because my boyfriend's rolls never came. We were waiting and other people who came after us were getting their food. After a while, we just decided to skip the two rolls and leave with just the 3 rolls. Just not a great experience for us, and so we won't be back. There are better sushi spots in Reno that make rolls that will actually fill you up. read more

Umi Sushi - They're small sushi pieces - Sushi Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The sushi is pretty good and I do like that the rolls are a bit smaller so you can try more for the AYCE. But the service was terribly slow. We were there on a Friday night and we spent almost three hours there because the service was so slow. It wasn't that busy while we were there either so not sure why the service was so bad. I'd still try it again because I did like the rolls! read more

Umi is our neighborhood sushi place and I am always so impressed with our food and service when we dine here! I have been eating AYCE sushi in Reno since the 90's and Umi does it right! Very fresh fish, no rice overkill, great/flavorful combinations that I haven't had before, wonderful service and very accommodating offering reservations for any size group not just large parties. AYCE includes appetizers and dessert, I absolutely love their jalapeño "poppers" filled with crab and cream cheese, tempura fried and topped with spicy sauce. My favorite roll is the Axel which is actually wrapped in pink rice paper and has tempura shrimp, spicy crab, cream cheese, cilantro and topped with fresh mango and spicy sauce. I usually hate the "fruity" rolls, but this one has the right balance of sweet, savory and spicy! We also love the Mickey Mouse and Pikachu nigiri offerings. I'm a tuna girl and the Mickey is Cajun tuna topped with avocado and spicy crab. The pikachu is also tuna with this topping that is bright yellow and reminds me of very yummy/crunchy breadcrumbs, no idea what it is but it is delicious and a great texture to add! We have tried going elsewhere since Umi opened but are always disappointed and wish we just stuck to our favorite! Definitely worth checking out for your sushi craving! read more

TL;DR Well portioned delicious sushi in an open space with speedy service Well portioned and delicious, this hidden gem in Reno passes the mark for me at least here in Reno. The rolls are not massive unlike some places and so you can order an assortment of rolls and still feel that you have gotten your money's worth. One of the things I appreciate with a lot of the rolls is the inclusion of lemon in many of them, that slight tartness can highlight the flavor profile of many of the rolls without necessarily overwhelming it. With that being said the salmon nigiri was phenomenal and fresh, it melted like butter. During their busier service times there are more staff members that take your order expeditiously. As for the space itself the vaulted ceilings and open space make it seem spacious but not necessarily intimate but that doesn't affect the food quality at all. All in all this place is a go to sushi restaurant especially if you want smaller portions to your all you can eat. read more

I've heard great things about this sushi restaurant and decided to try it on a Thursday evening. there was a 40-minute wait which because of the reviews I received, I decided to yield to and we were actually seated in about 50 minutes. The restaurant has about 20 tables and is an ultra modern design with high ceilings and a TV with a sports game playing. There is a sushi bar for limited seating. The restaurant was full with people waiting until after 8:00 when the flow slowed. The service is very slow. We were given water and menus right away but our order was not taken for at least 20 minutes and we waited 30 minutes for our appetizers. We waited another 30 minutes or so for our orders to be brought to the table. The all-you-can-eat for dinner is $33.99. I believe the lunch is $27.99. The sushi was very fresh and displayed on clean white plates. We were served the usual accoutrements to go with our sushi. All of the food was very good. I have no complaints on the food. But the service is very, very slow and there were probably five or six rolls that we ordered that never arrived. The mussels appetizer which we ordered came after all of the rolls and after two requests for them. Besides the slow service, the staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and the food was very good so we probably will try it again perhaps at lunch time. read more

Another successful dinner last night at Umi. It's my favorite, and I drive across town for their sushi rolls and my fix. I'm addicted to their stuffed jalapeño appetizer! Cr-7, cotton candy, and the Tahoe are a few of my favorite long rolls here! Spicy scallop hand rolls crudo/raw with green onion, and tobiko is a must every sushi outting! Their quail egg shooters are rimmed with Tajín and lemon. It's so refreshing! I love that they don't overdo it with rice! I hope my coach isn't reading this! The service has only improved since our first visit! They know me here now, too. If you're looking for a new sushi joint to try in Reno, check out Umi; you'll be so happy you did! Bar seats and tables are available for your biggest parties. Thank you, Umi staff for another great meal. *Tip: If dining in for a birthday; birthday guest eats free with parties of 6 or more. Have your I.D. handy. * read more

One of our favorite sushi spots in town! Their rolls are small with minimal rice, so you can try more rolls and not get so full. Their nigiri is always fresh and also has minimal rice, so you can eat more fish and less of the filler. The only downside is the service. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so it gets pretty busy during lunch and dinner. Tables fill up quickly and the bar generally has open spots. Although I would recommend sitting at a table vs the bar. The sushi chef's are busy making table orders vs servicing the bar. We also have to ask for refills and the check. Other than that, the sushi is a must try if you haven't been. read more

Umi Sushi - Axel - Sushi Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Still one of my fav sushi restaurants in Reno. Service is good even when busy, nigiri size is perfect and long rolls are not huge so you can try all the different varieties. It's almost always packed esp during peak hours so get in early if you can. I tried going on a Wed night at 7:30 and it was FULL so I had to go somewhere else unfortunately. Def check this place out! read more

We recently made our first trip to Umi Sushi. We decided to try somewhere new, and my daughter shared that her new favorite place is Umi!! The restaurant is really nice and clean and our wait staff was very attentive! We ordered and we were all surprised how quickly our first orders arrived. We all agreed that we enjoyed these types of rolls where they use less rice. We were able to try a wide variety of rolls without getting so full! We will definitely be back! read more

The building itself is beautiful. However, inside it is very loud and it almost sounds like it is echoing, and it made it hurt to hear the person I was eating with. I had all you can eat sushi for lunch and I will definitely be going back as it may have just become my favorite sushi place based on just the food. The menu was great and offered a variety of options. The service was a little slow, so make sure you have time to be there. read more

This is my favorite sushi place in Reno, it's all you can eat sushi, I like that the rolls aren't too big so that you can try different ones. Excellent sushi, and the best quail egg shooters.

Great sushi spot. I love the rolls here. They do not overdue the rice, nice and small. Perfect bite-sized piece rolls. Great price for all you can eat lunch $27.95 and dinner $33.95. The service is great, they are very attentive and really nice. Cute industrial decor, clean, and spacious. All the rolls we had tasted really good and very flavorful concoctions and sauces. Space, King Cobra, Crown Shrimp, and the cotton candy are super good. We will definitely be back as there were other rolls I wanted to try, but we got too full. The 503 and the CR7 are on my list for next time. read more

Hands down The best sushi in all of Northern Nevada. The culture is welcoming, staffs are friendly. You instantly feel like family the moment you set foot in. Clean, smells refreshing and The their sushi's are absolutely finger-licking-freaking-GOOOOD. read more

The food was good, you can definitely taste all the different ingredients in each roll due to the rolls being tiny with an extremely low amount of rice. I however do like my sushi rolls with more rice than that. And the quail egg shooters were okay but not the best ive tasted. The waiters always seemed to hover around while we were just trying to enjoy our meal. The ambiance in there was definitely pretty mellow. I probably won't be returning due to the fact that I just don't like people hovering around me so close while trying to eat. read more

I recommend giving this restaurant a try. It won't disappoint. read more

We visited Umi for the first time on a Saturday night around 6:15pm and it was already busy then but we were able to be seated at the bar right away. We thought the service was great. Our chef was responsive and attentive, so we never felt like it was hard to grab his attention when we wanted another round. Our other server that took our drink orders was also greatly attentive and came by often to ensure we were doing ok. The sushi was great. The rolls were interesting, especially the one that had powdered sugar. It was better than I expected and we even ordered it a second time. As others have stated, the rolls are smaller than other places but we appreciated being able to try many rolls without getting too full. Finally, the desserts were good too! We ordered the banana tempura with vanilla ice cream which was delicious. It is a small restaurant but we didn't feel too cramped, even at the bar. read more

The sushi was delicious and the rolls were not surrounded by tons of rice which was nice. Edamame was hot, but needed a little more salt in my opinion. The service however... kind of slow and the staff seems agitated when they have more than a couple of tables. Very relaxing yet busy feeling environment. Clean but smells weird when you first come in. Had to ask for refills, didn't get straws, iced tea was very bland and tasted like a weak tea, and the wait for the bill was long so this is definitely not a place to go if you are in a hurry to grab lunch and go. Overall, I give 3 stars and might give this place another try someday. read more

We love coming here! The food is good, always fresh and high quality, and I really enjoy the variety of rolls. My favorite part of this sushi place in particular is that the rolls are very small. For AYCE this is awesome because I'm able to get way more variety of rolls without filling up too fast. I wish you could give half stars, I'd give 4.5 if I could, because I have very few issues with Umi. The only things we run in to are that it is extremely loud and hearing the people in your party can be tough, and the service can be hit or miss. If Byron takes care of you you're in great hands though, he is attentive and SO nice and friendly! Overall we enjoy this sushi spot and will keep coming back and recommending it. read more

Pretty good sushi. Received recommendations to come visit. The food arrived quick. Servings not as large as other restaurants, and for the same price. Went with friends and the walls seemed to reverberate the sound, so this place ended up noisy super fast. We have our favorites in town. This is on the south end of Reno off Longley. read more

Alas! Another sushi spot in Reno I haven't yet tried, but I'm glad I did! My wife and I came here recently for a friend's birthday party, and we were very very hungry (so please forgive me for forgetting to take pictures of the food)! We all shared a vast array of nigiri, rolls, and mussels. The rolls are actually very small compared to many other sushi restaurants in Reno, which was great for our purposes because we got to try a lot of different kinds of rolls! As far as the sushi quality, it was pretty good! There are a few sushi restaurants that I prefer, but I still recommend this spot, especially with large groups. I will probably return one day, but not too soon. read more

Umi Sushi - Very full friends! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Honestly, I have never been happier to have randomly picked a sushi place for lunch. Neither my wife nor I had been to Umi before so I was relying on reviews and pictures only to make the choice. Price wise, $25.95 for AYCE was perfectly fine with me so the cost isn't anything outside of the ordinary. Umi is a really clean and spacious sushi restaurant with plenty of tables and bar top seating. The fish was cut well and tasted fresh and delicious. The sushi rolls were smaller in size which was nice because we didn't fill up after a small amount of choices and allowed us to try some different rolls and flavors. Plus, I can't complain about a menu that really thrives on putting pictures of each roll on it. I was really pleased with the quality of the sushi, the good customer service and not feeling rushed at all during our lunch. We will definitely be back. read more

Umi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Overall, 3/5. The food was decent. The fish to rice ratio was good, but none of the rolls we tried really wowed me. The fish didn't taste as fresh as some of the other sushi places in the area. I noticed some of the rolls on the menu do not have an indication that they are spicy, but did indeed have some sort of spicy component, ranging from peppers, spices, and sriracha. The yakitan was the best dish we had throughout the meal - really good! The service was okay. We decided on all you can eat. The staff assumed we had been in before and didn't explain what was included, so we had to ask for that information. Neither of our waiters went above and beyond nor were notably friendly. Our menus also had two different prices for the AYCE. Not sure if we'll be back, but we'd be open to trying it again. read more

Came on a Saturday night and it was not very busy at all which was surprising based on other reviews. First impression walking in was the strong floral cleaner scent used to wipe the tables and while I appreciate knowing they keep a clean restaurant, I honestly considered leaving because of it but decided to stay and try the food anyway. Service was quick and our appetizers came right out. I really enjoyed the cream cheese-stuffed jalapenos and the crispy gyoza; the edamame was served warm which was ok but kind of unusual. The rolls were promptly served as each was made; they are on the smaller side and I found myself picking up 2 pieces at a time which is totally fine for AYCE. I'm allergic to shellfish and they had a decent selection of rolls without it: we ordered about 10 rolls total to share and there were still a couple of others that I could have gotten. Unfortunately only a couple of stand out rolls for me: the Vegas roll with tuna, avocado and some kind of an eel sauce and a roll I forgot the name of with jalapeno tempura on top. The rest all kind of tasted the same without much to differentiate them, but maybe the rolls with shellfish are more flavorful. We ordered one baked roll and when it was brought to the table the server mentioned the name which I recall had shellfish in it and when I questioned it they apologized for the mistake and took it away and had the correct roll made right away. Overall okay AYCE sushi but not definitely not in my top 3 faves in Reno. read more

Food: If you're looking for delicious sushi with a good RICE TO FISH RATIO then Umi Sushi may be the place you've been looking for in the Reno/Sparks area. Although it wasn't a deal breaker, we received wrong sushi orders multiple times. Quite surprising especially when they were not busy during our last visit. Service: After a couple of visits the service had been consistently attentive and friendly! Ambiance: Umi Sushi is casual dining perfect for sushi dates and getting grubs with your friends and family! I will definitely be coming back to Umi Sushi. Give them a try if you haven't already. read more

Tried this place out for the first time and it was absolutely ridiculous! Service was slow at best. And the rolls were not that good, except for the green apple roll. Then at the end of the meal, the customer service went from bad to worse when I had an employee come over and criticize me and my 5 year old for how much we ate/had left when we got full. He told me that I needed to only order one or two rolls (for an all you can eat dinner) that cost me $56 for two people. I will ABSOLUTELY NEVER come here again and recommend anyone else that does not want to be treated like crap while paying an expensive price, also never go to this restaurant. read more

Umi is another great AYCE sushi spot located around the Longley area. Every time I've gone the long roll pieces are the perfect bite size and the nigiri has a great fish to rice ratio! Of course we always start off with mussels but lately I've also been into the vegetable tempura and the yakiton. I'd suggest only one order of the yakiton which can be rather filling and you need to save room for the main course! I always order salmon and unagi nigiri and both come with a nice sizable piece of fish on a nice small ball of rice: just enough for the perfect bite! For the long rolls we got the Golden Gate, King Cobra, Mojave, Spider, Caterpillar, Black Manba, Big Bang, and the MT. However, on the MT we usually ask for only salmon on the roll rather than the other fish and they were happy to accommodate! It is reasonably priced and the service is typically quick and you can be seated right away. However, it can, understandably, slow down when they get busy and the place can get packed. Finally, the best thing about Umi is that unlike most AYCE sushi places, the banana tempura dessert IS included in AYCE! I definitely recommend Umi Sushi for your next sushi outing! read more
