Umiya - Avocado salad and cucumber salad and they're clear soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Umiya Sushi is still our go-to Japanese AYCE spot, especially for their unbeatable lunch pricing--even on Saturdays. Our visit on the last Saturday of July was another hit. The sashimi was fresh, the sushi delicious, and the tempura came out hot and satisfying. Service is consistently amazing, making every visit an easy 5-star experience. We're excited to check out their newly opened location off H-151 on Hunts Lane. It may be small than the I-10 location, but we're sure the food and service will be just as fresh and delicious. read more

Came here with my friends Crystal and Dina, and we had a really good experience. The menu has a great selection, especially if you're into Japanese food. The miso soup was really good, the sushi rolls were fresh, and the fried sushi was definitely worth trying. The Texas Roll was one of my favorites, and the meat soup was great too. Just a heads up--this is a Japanese restaurant, not a Chinese buffet. Don't come in expecting orange chicken or some of the traditional Chinese dishes because that's not what they specialize in. Instead, try the noodles and the crab puffs--they were absolutely delicious. Overall, the food was fresh, service was good, and we'd definitely come back. read more

Umiya is the perfect place to eat when you are craving a lot of sushi, the variety of rolls is so impressive and the restaurant is so beautifully decorated. We had phenomenal service and enjoyed the experience very much. You will love the California Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, the miso soup and the ice cream toward the end. I included the menu as pictures so you can see all the sushi galore you can order. This is a great place to go for a date or with friends or with Family, maybe even a business meeting as well. I was so happy to be invited to go and I had a great time, the fun part for everyone is it is a fixed price for unlimited sushi, so that's the experience that's unique. You would need to go hungry of course to indulge your sushi tooth. Take your friends! Take your Family! Take your Beloved! You will be pleasantly surprised :) read more

Took my son here for lunch to celebrate his basic training graduation. We enjoyed the all you can eat lunch without the buffet. There was a variety of sushi rolls in addition to hot menu items. We absolutely loved it! There is an à la carte charge if food is wasted, which is understandable. We did not have that problem, lol. The service was good. Our server kept a good pace. read more

Tried a new spot with a friend. (Photos include all food that came to the table) The atmosphere was very energetic and fast paced. The inside was beautiful but the seatings felt a tad crowded and around dinner time it can get a little loud. The food was really good. I really loved their miso soup. Their rolls were really good as well. I think the mango one was my favorite and seaweed salad was yummy. Usually I'm not a fan of seaweed salad but the flavors weren't overpowering or soggy. They have a lot of options but if you're gluten free it is very limited here.. The only thing that was a little concerning was the lack of knowledge for gluten free items. The waiter had to go back and forth to ask someone which I really appreciated but it would be nice if they were a bit informed to avoid food reactions for people who have an intolerance /allergy. Aside from that I think it's a great place to try. read more

Recently I came here with a friend to try something new. We came here around 6pm on a Friday night and it definitely did get crowded pretty quickly. Thankfully we were able to get seats since it was only two of us. The place itself had alot of seats and i did like to atmosphere and the look. Even though there were alot of people it wasn't loud and can hear eachother talk. We did have a small table next to this purple ish light (sorry for the photos the lamp didn't really help but the food was pretty). The waitress was very friendly and helpful. My friend who has a glutten allergy had alot of questions but the waitress was patient and made sure to offer her good options. I ordered a 'mango delight roll' which had snowcrab, mango which didn't sound good at first. However, after I tried it turned out to be delicious. It wasn't overpowering with fish or sweetness but the mango was light and complimented the roll well. Definitely worth a try. I also ordered a sushi pizza which was also good. Although I see it more as sushi nachos as the ingredients were on a chip, it was good overall. My friend ordered a shaggy roll which was also good. Since it had shrimp tempura she asked if she can substitute it with another meat like crap or shrimp not fried and the waitress was able to accommodate that which was even better. We did have a few appetizers as well. Usually I dont really like mussels but was suggested to try their popular item the New Zealand Mussels. It was actually really good. Loved the seasoning and sauces they used and looked very pretty. Their seaweed salad is also worth trying if you get the chance. Overall it was a great experience and enjoyed my time here. I definitely recommend any sushi lover to come try this place. Be aware this is a buffet so make sure to confirm the price (lunch and dinner are different) and also don't order too much. If you dont eat it all or leave a lot of food you could be charged extra so pace yourself. read more

Heard it us better than most AYCE sushi place. I say don't respect too much but you get yiur money's worth. Good service too.

Umiya Sushi is a good spot for the lunch buffet, especially when dining with a group. There's a good variety of sushi and other Japanese dishes, so everyone can find something they like. Dishes come out fast and are very well displayed. The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff does a nice job keeping things moving without rushing you. The ambiance is casual and comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy a meal together. read more

Always skeptical of all you can eat but this place BLOWS IT OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!! Sushi is fresh and not skimped on w toppings and sauces. The portions were great! Everything came out so fast and warm if it was supposed to be! Our server Vania was 10/10! So kind with our big group. LOVE that you order with a person and not a piece of paper. Absolutely would recommend. The price for dinner is like $30 per person but it was sooooo worth it. Note only took a few photos bc I was EATING read more

This is is terrible. They are very quick on your first round and slow as hell on every round after that. The rolls and nigiri are tiny, about half the size of "standard". I sat at the bar and the couple next to me shortly after ordered their dessert, fried oreo and strawberry ice cream. I got my first round and they got TWO rounds of stuff that I assume they ordered before I got there. While they paid, I placed my second round. They finally got their icecream and left. Their fried oreo came and the person was confused and tried to give it to me. Told them I think they left. Ten minutes later I got my second round. Two stars because its better than grocery store sushi, however there isnt a scenario I can think of to ever want to go back. Rather pay more and get better, actual sized sushi, it a reasonable time frame. read more

AYCE Totally worth it. They bring the food to you. It's not a buffet. I appreciate that greatly. I don't like others touching my food. The servers are so friendly, and helpful. They take their time & answer questions about the food & drinks. They'll also take the time to help you open the bottles if needed. #iykyk Try the strawberry soda. I think my two favorite rolls are the Lexington & the Harbor Rolls. The Lexington is a warm sushi roll, while the Harbor Roll is not,but it is loaded! I can promise you will need a nap after eating here. I have not had a single bad roll yet. I have come two weekends in a row now. Absolutely wonderful staff & exceptional food. I'll continue to come back. They're expanding here in town, & in 2026 they'll be opening one off of 151. Now, to get them to being one to Brooks City Base area. read more

If you ever want to experience the cuisine on a Caribbean cruise, but are concerned about getting seasick, then I have just the place for you, Umiya Sushi Seafood! Umiya is a one price "all you can eat" restaurant with a wide selection of menu options to choose from including various appetizers, Hibachi, Teriyaki, Tempura, Sashimi, Sushi rolls and a few desserts to complete the meal. I compare the experience to a cruise ship as the taste is similar to what you will find when feeding the masses. Good, not great, but I was not expecting much more, so no huge surprise. It's a good place to try a variety of different foods without worrying about an out of control bill at the end of the night. The service is outstanding and the waitstaff are literally power walking from the table to table. Even though the food is prepared freshly, it comes to you fairly quickly which means they can turnover customers at a fast pace. Besides for the entryway and the giant Hello Kitty near the front door, the decor is geared towards families and birthday parties. Because of the fast pace of the workers, you do feel a bit rushed to eat and move on even though you are not pressured from staff to do so. read more

Honestly the best bang for your buck AYCE sushi spot in SA. Sashimi isn't always the freshest but they have the best appetizers, hand rolls, and overall variety in menu selection for an AYCE sushi place. Consistently solid and the dim lighting makes it a nice casual dining place. Service has also always been very fast and attentive every time I've gone. read more

Asian food was surprisingly good by Texas standards... coming from an Asian-American who is based in SoCal and went to school in NorCal... ermmmm. also, the fried ice cream Oreo cookies whatever was not worth trying because the saltiness overpowered the comforting sweetness of a yummy dessert. servers were nice and quick with the guidelines of how the AYCE dining experience would work. came with a big group of 10 people, but these waiters and waitresses were quick to clean our table and serve us up with the next dish that we ordered. very tight set-up with chairs and tables because you could barely get through the rows. not surprising considering how sought-after this place is for newcomers to San Antonio. the cheap AYCE of $25 is enough of a reason to wait in a line of 30 minutes (I.e. You did walk-in instead of reservation). this place did not rush you to get out, though, so makes sense for the wait! if you want to take a break while dining, you can even walk around outside to make more room for the food. I jokingly made that suggestion before I ordered, and the staff was accommodating about it. I ended up eating like 7 plates of sushi :P read more

Came on a Friday for lunch and was seated quickly. They have all you can eat, plus Indian lunch specials and roll orders. We opted for the all you can eat in order to try a bigger variety. The price was on-par with other places we have visited. I recommend this place for the vibes, variety, and presentation. It is one of the better sushi AYCE and everything is made-to-order. Notice that there is a LOT of rice in the sushi orders so plan accordingly. However, once seated, no one greeted us for at least 5 minutes and many waitstaff walked by without so much as a greeting. I walked back to the front to ask for a reseat or assistance and was advised by the manager that I would get moved. As I walked back to my seat, I was greeted by our waitress. We were reseated near the top of the sushi area and had a waitress come without a few minutes. There was no menu given to us and no greeting or asking if we had ever been to the restaurant, etc. I suppose I am used to basic customer service skills and perhaps asking for too much. However, our waitress was efficient and took our orders in a timely manner. The menu is extension and note that there is no sashimi option on the all you can eat buffet. We tried sushi, rolls, appetizers. The food tasted good with mostly fresh-tasting fish. The eel was slightly softer than what I've had at other places. The salmon had a texture slightly softer and less flavorful than expected. However, everything was presented well. The rice in the sushi was fresh on our first order and slightly harder and more tightly pinched in our second. The strawberry ice cream tasted light and the green tea was flavorful, albeit a little more on the bitter side. The ice creams were not as creamy as some other places I have tried. The ambience was amazing with beautiful lights, decorations, and a nice and airy feel. They also had a sushi bar in the back along with an alcoholic bar. Very fun and beautiful vibes. read more

In the mood for sushi, decided to check this place out. We opted to sit at the bar as there was a wait for a table. Our bartender was Juan. He was attentive and friendly drinks were always refilled and Juan made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. I took off a star due to the long wait it took for some of our orders to come out. It is all you can eat, but it took about 15-20 minutes to get our orders of sushi after each round. I would come back as the sushi was great quality and tasted amazing! I will try their lunch next time as it was about $10 cheaper than dinner. read more

I ordered the sushi for two set meal to go. The nigiri are good but the rolls are so sloppy and small, literally had the worst rainbow roll in my entire life.. I only get it when I have discount with DoorDash , otherwise I don't think the regular price is worth it. Miso soup is very bland. Also they pack the hot miso soup in the same bag with the nigiri which make the nigiri warm... increasing the chance of bacteria growing in the raw fish.. which is a big no no.. read more

Umiya is one of my go-to sushi spots in San Antonio! I love that it's all-you-can-eat but not a buffet -- everything is made fresh and brought right to your table. The service is always on point, and even when it's packed, they're super efficient and friendly. I've been here so many times and it's always consistent. Some of my favorites are the oyster roll, sweet potato roll, tamago, sashimi, cucumber salad, and all their specialty rolls. And don't skip dessert -- the matcha ice cream is the perfect finish. It's a great spot to bring family or friends because there's something for everyone. It's also a good option for takeout. read more

We decided to go to @umiyasatx for dinner tonight and it seemed like the whole town had the same idea. It was busy! Jacky was our server, but many others brought our different orders. Dad and Hubby each had the Miso Soup. Hubby and I each had the House Salad. I had the Tequila Sunrise, one of the specials for Saturday. Dad had the Shrimp Tempura. We shared the Salmon Mango, Yellowtail on Fire, Tuna Carpaccio, Calamari, Unagi, Escolar and Tamago, Pink Lady Roll, Spider Roll, Steak Hibachi, Shrimp Fried Rice, and ended with Green Tea, Chocolate, and Strawberry Ice Cream. Full tummy and it was all good! Stop by and check them out! read more

Note: This review is about the a la cart service as opposed to the AYCE option. Surprisingly good sushi place! It's large, with the ability to host groups of 8+, and with more techno music than I'd expect. But the service was fast and friendly, and I was impressed with the sushi roll selection. The two standouts where the crawfish roll (you better like it hot!) and especially the tempura oyster roll. If you're looking for something different and savory, give this a shot. This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

My favorite AYCE sushi place in San Antonio! Joanna was an amazing server and food came out quickly.

I always love coming to umiya when I'm craving sushi. There all you can eat is totally worth it and your able to get a little bit of everything. This place is super big but does get busy around the evening time so can expect a little bit of a wait. Our server Yessenia was very good and attended to us as she could with runnning multiple tables inside and out. Definitely will come back when I'm in the mood for some sushi and crab puffs! read more

Payday lunch with my coworker! We were quickly seated and our server was very friendly. We both ordered the all you can eat (AYCE) lunch special, with cups of water. At $21.95, you get your money's worth with just (2) Chef's Special rolls! This information isn't readily available on the provided menu; I'm basing this off their online ordering prices. I started off with tuna tataki (2), spicy tuna nigiri, and red snapper nigiri. The toppings on the tataki were refreshing against the tuna. On the flip side, the spicy tuna nigiri had a nice kick to it. The red snapper nigiri was solid, but outshined by the tuna. I ordered green mountain, shaggy dog, and rainbow rolls after that. Green mountain was fresh, not too spicy! My tastes are veering to away from heavy flavors like spicy mayo or cream cheese currently, but I still enjoyed this one. The "crunch" in the description could have been crunchier for better contrast, but maybe it's an aesthetic thing to look like "snow" on the green mountain. The shaggy dog roll was my absolute favorite this visit! This roll gave me the crunch I was looking for in the green mountain roll. The flavors worked really well together. Rainbow roll is always solid! The white fish topping was my least favorite of the four, but every bite was fresh which is why it's such a staple roll. I was slowing down at this point so I ordered dessert at the same time as my last roll: fried oreos (2) & green tea ice cream and the spicy crunch roll. The spicy crunch roll was fine, but same issue with the green mountain roll of the crunch and mild spice. I really like spicy, so this may be hot enough for someone else. I also add wasabi to my soy sauce for a different type of spicy. The fried oreos had that classic light breading typical of tempura and complemented the green tea ice cream well. I may try other ice cream flavors next time. All in all, I'd come back for this deal and try more rolls. Cheers! read more
