Quick, casual, great sushi! This spot has some great options. The shrimp tempura roll tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The wasabi was also fantastic. This spot is a great place for a quick lunch while strolling around Yorktown. Though the establishment is inside, it is more of a quick take-out/grab and go window experience read more

Umi Sushi - Shrimp tempura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Must stop when visiting Yorktown!! This is a tiny little bar-style seating sushi shop in the Historic Yorktown area. It is ran by one man, the owner Aang (unsure on the spelling) who was so kind and welcoming. He makes the sushi rolls/platters fresh to order and whips them up so fast. read more

Umi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

The shop is really small where only 7 people can be seated. The quality of sashimi did not meet our expectation for the expensive price. Large sashimi was $29 for 12 pieces of sashimi. We were given smoked salmon instead of fresh water salmon. For a small shop, the prices should be lower. read more

What a true taste of Japanes esthetics. We loved the seating around the Chef, watching him create our dishes right before our eyes and knowing how fresh it was. He was exceptionally welcoming and chatted us up while we were there. Food was delicious. We will be going back​ read more

First time here... It's small inside with only about 9 seats around the sushi bar. I do believe that there is outside seating but not positive. I ordered my rolls to go, and the woman who took my order was very sweet and my food was ready to go when she had told me it would be. I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and a California roll. Both were fresh and delicious. Will be back to try out more of their sushi! read more

Umi Sushi - Shrimp tempura roll & California roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Food was amazing. Fish was fresh, rice was slightly vinegary (tastes like normal sushi rice), and food presentation was beautiful. Chef is quick to present food. Space felt roomy even though there were only 8 seats inside (there are more outside). Very comfortable and homey atmosphere. read more

Good food and service. Got the spicy tuna roll and assorted sashimi. Yum! Ate outside in a green garden. Nice.

Umi Sushi - California Roll and Salmon/Avocado Roll! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

My friend and I decided to go on a day trip to Yorktown Beach. I found Umi Sushi on a lot of MUST GO TO lists when searching for things to do in Yorktown. There are even some Tik Toks about this place. The moment I stepped in, I understood why. It's inside an extremely charming colonial home with some of the tastiest fish! They use high quality fish here which is always music to my ears (magic for my mouth?) when eating sushi. You can dine-in or takeout. It is a smaller shop, so seating inside is a bit intimate. There are some stools at the bar. You can also choose to sit outside. I ordered the Umi Roll (salmon/avocado roll with salmon on top) which I highly recommend. My friend got a tuna/avocado roll and shrimp tempura maki which she said was good. Next time I'm in Yorktown I'll definitely be coming back for more sushi here. I love when a place has that special local feel. Umi Sushi did that for me and more. read more

The service here was personalized and welcoming. The Chef made a special selection and rolls based on what we liked. I can't say enough great things. The atmosphere is laid back and casual. The Chef was friendly and amazing. If you have time to chat and eat, this is the place to do it. read more

Umi Sushi - Tuna Tuna/Cucumber Spicy Tako (Chopped Octopus) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

This is a hidden gem on the boardwalk of historic Yorktown Beach! Tiny little place with odd hours, but super quaint and the quality of the sushi is amazing! Great selection of sake as well. Husband and wife team own and operate it. It's a must try if you're in the area. Not ideal for large groups unless you want to sit outside on the back patio (there is only sushi bar seating inside, enough chairs for about 8 people total). read more

I really hate to be that person, but, Umi Sushi, what happened!? Don't get me wrong, this is one of the most aesthetically pleasing sushi joints I've been to in H.R, located within a cute colonial style house boasting the authenticity of a sushi spot straight out of Japan itself, Umi Sushi ticks all the right boxes. The combo deal sounded great, and I was ready to dig in to my meal - we were ushered to sit outside, thankfully it was a nice day, but when I saw a few measly pieces on a styrofoam plate coming towards me, I have to admit that I was rather gutted. I had high hopes, but they were slashed by what felt like a samurai sword (that was probably also made of styrofoam...) laced with disappointment and regret for driving all the way here. The mochi came still in their wrappers... I could have driven to Tokyo Market a couple of miles away and bought a 20pack for the same price of the three handed to us, again, on a styrofoam plate.. The quality of the fish was second to none, but it lacked presentation, which makes you really notice you probably spent more money than you should have. The lady who served us was ok, but it felt like she didn't want us in the restaurant and wanted us outside - we were the only two customers... I left with disappointment and regret for driving so far and leaving hungry - I could pay the same amount at my local sushi joint in N.News and walk away stuffed. I won't be going out of my way to come again, sorry Umi. read more

Stopped here for a bite with my husband and four sons while in Yorktown...excellent! The food was fresh and delicious, and the man working there was so kind and nice to talk to! We all tried Japanese soft drinks and octopus for the first time...everything was wonderful. We plan to make it a stop every time we're in town! read more

I've had some time to try other sushi places in the area, and while their sushi is good it's not amazing. Service has been great every time I've gone, but the only times I do go are non-peak times. It's good if you're in the area and want sushi, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

Stopped in here for some quick sushi, and it was awesome! The owners were super friendly and accommodating. The small establishment only has about 6-8 seats for guests, so not very good for groups. We had three people in our group, and there was no one there, so we lucked out. The sake selection is massive! A whole wall of different sakis and wines to purchase. I didn't get a chance to really look at the selection, but it's worth a look if you like that sort of thing. The sushi selection is pretty good. I got my usual unagi roll and a tuna roll with avocado, made spicy, since they didn't have a legit spicy tuna roll. All my rolls were delicious! Paired with a hot green tea, I was one happy camper. If you're strolling along the beach, and are in the mood for some sushi, definitely check this place out. I think they also do carry-out sushi too. read more

Well it's not like there's a lot of choices at the food court so, my family and I settled for Umi Sushi. The menu board is simple: teriyaki with rice or noodles, some sushi dishes, bubble tea, and etc. I settled for the chicken teriyaki with white rice for $8.99. As I was putting my receipt and bank card back in my wallet, the gentleman was handing my order. Wait a min... I didn't see him cook my chicken. I didn't even smell the smoking flames from the grill?! I looked over on the grill and apparently he had chicken already cooked to the side. So now I'm thinking... it's not cooked to order and how long has the chicken been sitting on the grill? As I saw him finishing up 2 other orders behind me, the chicken was low on the grill so he cooked some more but there were no other customers in line. Soooo...the next customers will be in the same boat as me, NO cooked to order chicken. The teriyaki sauce was hot as it was staying warm in a warmer but it was a little too sweet and generic tasting. For what it's worth, it's in a food court :-( read more

Umi Sushi - Teriyaki chicken with white rice - it was just ok - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Really really delicious sushi. Skip the cooked entree (teriyaki chicken) and go to straight for sushi only. Extremely tasty and fresh. We sat on a charming outdoor patio to enjoy this made to order sushi and we loved it all! Kids loved the California roll. If you're at the Yorktown American History museum this is just a minute drive or shuttle ride down the street. Pop down for a sushi fix when in town!! Miso soup also delicious! read more

Umi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

A very small establishment located in Yorktown by the beach. After a day of walking and exploring the battlefield I had to have some seafood. This sushi bar was the perfect place to stop in. While indoor seating is very limited, I imagine you could order your food to go and sit along the beach or other places. The menu was simple and straightforward, they offer sushi and a few other items. My fiancé ordered one of the roll combos which was incredibly fresh and absolutely perfectly prepared. I ordered the Bulgogi and while it certainly hit the spot for what I was wanting to eat, I'd recommend read more

Don't know what kind of sushi people usually get that makes this seem like good sushi, but I would not come here again. The avocado I got has black spots and tastes weird; and I don't know what happened to the shrimp breading, but what I got isn't 'tempura'. Hope I don't get sick from this. read more

Not the best sushi in the area for sure, very small space-max 6 bar stools but clean. They could use a new sushi chef. If you're looking for grab and go, might be a place for you. read more

the food is extremely fresh and very well prepared. we came on the 4th of july and it was very busy, but we didn't have to wait long and even though it was full the quality was up there. perfect. probably the best sushi we've had in the US. the space is small and cozy. Despite being small, it left nothing to be desired. read more

Had just gotten into town and needed a quick bite to eat. We were in the mood for sushi, so we walked here from our hotel. Wasn't expecting much BUT so glad that we chose it! It's a small shop with a modest menu that makes top notch nigiri with the freshest, most delicious rice (a la Jiro Dreams of Sushi). Fish nearly melted on my tongue -- such high quality. The owner is extremely kind and managed to juggle several customers at once. We accidentally left our phone on the counter, and he ran blocks to catch up to return it to us. I was so pleased that we discovered this shop!! read more

Have been meaning to try this place. But tonight I Attempted to get some sushi tonight, as soon as I walk in she says "we're finished." Despite their sign saying they're open for 30 more minutes. Not my typical practice, but took awhile to find parking and I couldn't leave my sisters unattended. She did change her mind and attempt to offer to make something, but at that point seemed I was a bother. read more

This adorable sushi spot caught my attention because of its location and how cute the outside looked, so I had to stop and check it out. When you walk in you see walls full of saki bottles and wine which is really cool. The place is small and seats maybe 10 at most, counter bar style. The sushi was fresh and prepared in front of you. Service was friendly and fast. Great experience, next I will try other items and not being the kiddo with me. Fresh sushi bar feel gotta try. read more

Umi a place by the beach, sells sushi, sake and beer. If you want some good quick sushi you should pay them a visit. Location is small so be warned if you have a big party you will be waiting. The staff is wonderful and the decorations remind from my times in Japan. The food is mostly sushi but have some Korean dishes; I'll try next time. Nothing fancy but the fish is fresh tasting and rice is delicious. I'm happy with this place, gives me excuse to go to the beach now. I recommend to all sushi lovers. read more
