I LOVE THIS SPOT! If I could give them a 100 stars I would! We celebrated my husbands Bday here and we had a total of about 45 people. We did a reservation and they had everything ready when we got there. The food was DELICIOUS!! Our whole family and friends were very impressed. They had several waiters serving us and we have NO COMPLAINS! They were very attentive, fast, nice and very helpful for those who had never had sushi before. They gave us wonderful recommendations. It was absolutely PERFECT! Thank you all to the team at Umiya. Specially Selene who is the manager that helped us to set everything up. She was very responsive, sweet and really took care of us. The ambiance is very relaxing, it feels very smooth and inviting. read more

We live about 5 minutes away from Umiya so when it's lunch time we take advantage of their Lunch Special Menu. You can choose any 2 Rolls for $8.95 or any 3 Rolls for $11.95. We definitely get the bang for our buck! We also order a few Baked New Zealand Mussels, they are so yummy, highly recommend. Even when we aren't dining in the food still tastes delicious. Service is always great when we go fine in and the ambiance is fun, clean and inviting. I'm so glad we live close because we get to enjoy lots and lots of sushi. read more

This specific Umiya is a great place to have lunch. Not the full menu at lunch, but you can have 80% of the dinner menu at only $21.95. Can you imagine that? Decent AYCE sushi for $22? That's only a pipe dream for some people. Service is always top notch, waiters always coming by to check in and offering a top up or new round of orders. Drinks consistently refilled, bussers always bringing food out quickly. I feel like the Live Oak location is run far better than the I-10 location. TVs with sports are usually playing around the bar. You can get full AYCE service at the bar, which is a huge plus. They have a very robust alcohol menu and the bartenders can put in new food orders right there! Great place to be for lunch. Dinner costs more, but still well worth it! read more

My parents invited us to Umiya for lunch on Saturday, we were impressed! The location shares a parking lot with Texas Roadhouse, so be prepared to park in the back if you come for dinner - we found space closer up front since we came by around 1 pm. The food is delicious; my family opted for the all you can eat; I ordered a bento box and it was a great deal: chicken teriyaki, fried rice, fried shrimp, and gyoza for under $13. I ordered a nonalcoholic Japanese mule and it was great - I plan on trying the cocktails next time. My husband commented that the sushi was fresh and he liked the concept of the server bringing plates as you're eating versus a buffet style. We definitely plan to come back; we also plan to visit the i10 location to see which one is better! read more

Absolutely love this place! I went for lunch between classes to get some schoolwork done, and I'll just say I was not disappointed. And the music was on point! Very hip hop Christmas and I loved it. I got the all you can eat lunch special and I wish I was hungrier. I could only put away 4 rolls & some crab puffs but everything was so good. I got the California roll while I searched the menu for good specialty rolls. I proceeded to get the shaggy dog, Texas, and Lexington rolls. The Texas roll was my favorite, but they were all delicious. My server stayed on top of my refills and orders. Everything was so friendly. I can't wait to go back and try their cocktails!

Giving it 3 stars due to the service we had during Mother's Day. It's All You Can Eat and our server did not explain anything to us and it was our first time there. The reason why I mentioned that because the table next to us - their server actually gave them a whole schpiel about the menu and how everything works. Our first order was fine, but after we got our food, our server was nowhere to be found! We were ready to order more food and we were out of drinks, but we had to wait for a long time before we can get any service. Besides that, the atmosphere was nice and the food was pretty good. read more

Food was good but it needed more spices. I had the hibachi combo. The noodles were spiced to perfection but the chicken and shrimp were flavorless.

I'm so happy they opened a location near me. I love the portion sizes for the sushi and sashimi. I also love that there really isn't a limit (execpt per serving) The restaurant itself was pretty cozy and clean. Staff very helpful and friendly. Even the restrooms were clean. Not Buc-ee's clean, but clean. Food... to get our money's worth we avoided (as much as possible) anything with rice. However, I couldn't resist getting a spicy salmon hand role. Those are really yummy. We started with mostly sashimi and some of the sashimi flavored appetizers. The photo is of (starting from the top) Salmon Tataki, Pepper Tuna, Tuna Cappaccio, and Yellowtail on Fire. All very delicious, but overall, my favorites were the Tuna Cappaccio and Yellowtail on Fire. Kinda wish they had a Salmon Cappaccio or even a Scallops Cappaccio! I wish I got a photo of the Fried Oreos!! Those were deadly delicious! I was so full, I kinda wanted to get more. I also got the green tea ice cream (wasn't a fan). Overall, I had to give this place 5 stars Those fried oreos though!!! read more

We decided to give this "Sushi/Sashimi" restaurant a look. I can't recall what restaurant used to reside at this location. Anyhow, interior decoration is standard with a "sushi" establishment. Service was decent and friendly staff. But appeared to be unfamiliar with the menu. Although, the staff stated she was Japanese. I might be picky, the staff couldn't tell me where in Japan she lived. Which has no influence on my assessment. The sashimi is ok, nothing that stood out as a WOW! Gotta order that again next time. Standard cream cheese assortment as with all rolls in S.A. Sashimi was descent, miso soup was also fair. It's a all you can eat, so decide what you want and how hungry are you. Might be best to order straight from menu. May save you a couple of bucks. Overall, nice place, not noisy, decor is fine and the food (sorry to say but standard). Nothing was spectacular. read more

Honestly? I was prepared to be dissatisfied and disappointed when I saw that the "chefs choice" part of the platter were not other rolls, but nigiri sushi. I'm personally not a fan of nigiri as I prefer more flavors. However, I was very pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed them and did note the fish varieties all to be tender and melt in your mouth well. Even the shrimp nigiri wasn't rubbery or terrible! The miso soup was also delicious and so were the two rolls they had on the platter. We also got the calamari, it's 10 rings, but quite nice, though I prefer the tentacles It was also very nice to note that the "sushi for two" was actually enough for two solid sushi eaters! We would have been fine even without the calamari. Restaurant: very high end, clean, nice appeal. Truly felt more like fine dinning rather than a "buffet" style some all-you-can-eat places have. Overall: very impressed with the quality of sushi and will absolutely be back and next time trying the all you can eat option! And I'm picky with my sushi quality! I come from the border or Washington and Oregon which has high Asian populations and very high quality and tasty sushi! read more

Umiya sushi is a delightful gem for sushi lovers, offering a perfect blend of fresh ingredients, skilled preparation, and an inviting ambiance. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and authentic Japanese atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both dinner with friends and special occasions. The sushi here is outstanding, with an impressive variety of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. Each dish is meticulously crafted, showcasing the freshness of the seafood and the precision of the chefs. The rolls just melt in your mouth, and the spicy crunch roll is a must-try for those who enjoy a mix of textures and flavors. The menu also features creative fusion options, but without compromising the traditional essence of sushi. The staff is quick and attentive. They make sure your dining experience is smooth, whether you're a seasoned sushi enthusiast or a first-timer. They are quick with it, respectfully. The restaurant strikes a perfect balance between modern elegance and traditional Japanese design. Soft lighting, minimalistic décor, and soothing music with a touch fun to create a calm and relaxing environment and a sprinkle bangers. It's a great place for a date night or a dinner with friends. While Umiya is roughly $31 for all you can eat, the quality of the food justifies the cost. Portions are generous, and the attention to detail in every dish makes it worth every penny. Umiya truly surprised me. Whether you're there for a quick bite or a semi fancy dinner, you'll leave satisfied and eager to return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking high-quality sushi and excellent service. read more

I am honestly really disappointed with my experience at Umiya. I've been here multiple times before and never had an issue, which made this visit even more frustrating. This is an all you can eat restaurant, yet we waited over 15 minutes just to place an order. Our waiter, Ferri, was extremely inattentive. We were left sitting with empty plates, watching other tables get taken care of while we were completely ignored. No check-ins, no explanation nothing. At an all you can eat place, slow and careless service completely ruins the experience, and that's exactly what happened here. I expected much better based on my past visits to Umiya, but this visit left me feeling annoyed and let down. It's not a good feeling to pay for an experience and feel forgotten. Unless service improves, I'm very hesitant to return. read more

I've been back to Umiya four times now, and it keeps delivering on every level. The food is consistently incredible, the service is top-notch, and the bar vibe is exactly what I'm looking for after a long day. The martinis? Fantastic. All of them! A special shoutout to Alex, who is a phenomenal bartender. He takes the time to listen, understand your preferences, and creates cocktails that match perfectly. It's clear he takes pride in his craft, and it makes every visit feel personal and memorable. DISCLAIMER: If Alex isn't bartending, all bets are off. The quality of the drinks is definitely different. Umiya has officially become one of my go-to spots! read more

The majority of the sushi platters were topped with a generous dollop of mayonnaise, which unfortunately contributed to a uniform flavor across the entire meal. While the visual presentation was appealing, the distinct tastes of the various sushi rolls became muddled, leaving little room for the unique nuances of ingredients like fresh fish, crisp vegetables, and vinegared rice to shine through. Each bite felt reminiscent of the last, diminishing the excitement of exploring the different flavors that sushi is renowned for. read more

Tbh the food is shockingly good! I order a variety of food & I wasn't disappointed…read more Started off with the appetizer sampler plate, I'd give it like 6/10. It came with pot stickers, egg roll, crab rangoons, & edamame. The edamame I feel you can't mess up, just steam & add your seasoning, it was good especially cause I got it spicy. However, it will be alittle wet/messy. Everything is meh, not bad, not great, but valid. For the dishes I ordered the Steak & chicken combo hibachi & the susanoo ramen. Let's start with the meh.... The ramen, seemed alittle timid like not hot hot. Flavor wise it was good, ingredient wise it was okay. I feel like I've had better ramen in other spots. Now the Hibachi complete 11/10. If I was ever in the area. I would just order straight to this. For the price, you get a pretty good portion! I ordered my steak rare & it was on point . Overall, I would personally stick with the hibachi as I feel it's the best bang for your buck.

And twice the raw fish (tuna or salmon) has been rancid, so no more sushi. Service: Service by wait staff (the one waitress) is good and she's friendly, refills drinks, etc. However, I think it's the owner, she (her mind) is too busy to be waiting tables. When she's waiting tables she's trying to eat, tend to customers and guess at your meal (I was a regular) all at once. And for some reason lemons are 'gold' there because each time I go and have asked for lemons for tea I get the feeling that she doesn't want to give me any. Plus if I'm a regular, I shouldn't have to ask anymore. She, as her wait staff does, should know I want lemons with my tea, easy peasy. Anyway, good food, good service, but owner should invest in another waiter/waitress that has good personality like her current one and she should focus on running the business, not act like a waiter. It comes off negatively towards the customer.

Just you, the menu, and a quiet understanding that nobody is leaving early. Brought Jimmy "The Hammer" along for this one. A dangerous man in this setting. His only complaint before we even sat down was that it wasn't all you can drink. Fair concern. Thirty dollars for the dinner menu. Fair play. That is about standard across the city. The real question is whether you can actually make it worth it. I started strong. Ten salmon nigiri. Ten tuna. Four shrimp. A couple white tuna. A couple yellowtail. Across the table, Jimmy didn't say much. Just kept eating. That's usually how you know things are going well. At some point it stops feeling like dinner and starts feeling like a bit of a challenge. You settle into it. Find your rhythm. No wasted movement. Then came the rainbow rolls. Two of them. Always my test. You can tell everything you need to know about a sushi spot from that one roll. Balance, freshness, attention to detail. This one delivered. Clean, refreshing, exactly what you want. Added some chicken skewers for good measure. Bit of char, bit of heat, keeps things grounded. Place was packed. Not chaotic, just busy in the right way. Staff stayed on top of it. Plates moving, orders landing, no one left waiting. By the end of it, I leaned back and took stock. Full. Satisfied. No regrets. Five stars.
