Although having never tried much Japanese cuisine before attending, I was slightly apprehensive of the pallet and nervous about cost but after my first visit, I can honestly say, Umi is a wonderful experience. Very friendly staff, lovely ambience and layout but to top off the cuisine is exquisite. The food is really good value for the quality delivered to the table.
So this was my first time having Japanese cuisine and it was awesome. The staff were really helpful and cheerful.
The meal was delicious and was a great introduction to Japanese food for me.
I didn't remember to take photos of most of the meal 🫣🫣🫣
I have no words for how amazing every single bite was!
The food was the best Japanese food I have ever experienced in my entire life.
Staff were fantastic, ambience was fabulous and the food was incredible.
Reasonable pricing and we already cannot wait to return!
I have been to Umi a few times it's one of my partners favourite places to eat at. I am a vegetarian so I only order items without meat or seafood, however the sushi is still one of my favourites that I've eaten before. My partner tends to get the pork and seafood ramen which always looks nice and a good size. Eating here can however become a bit more expensive when ordering a few items.
A calming and authentic Japanese dining experience with wonderful, friendly staff and delicious food. The sushi tasted refreshing, healthy and homemade in a moreish manner and the accompanying soy sauce was the best I’ve ever tasted. We will definitely be visiting Umi again in the future to try more of the options available and I really look forward to it :)
Popped in on a whim after work, greeted by the friendliest, most welcoming staff. The food was immense and really reasonable pricing for proper Japanese dishes. Had a duck bao, skewers and sushi and was so so pleased with all three. Not to mention, the cocktails are all delicious.
Could not recommend enough.

The food is fantastic! The drinks are lovely and everything is well presented. The entire team of staff are phenomenal. They know their food!
Lovely food. Not cheap but great for a treat or date night. Cocktails were great too .
Delicious food with really friendly staff!
Every time I visit my partner we always go to Umi, I couldn't recommend a nicer place. The cocktails are so lovely and well-crafted and the food is to die for! One thing you definitely need to try when you visit is the chicken karaage, it's so tasty
Loved the food. I had teriyaki chicken and also tried out the sea food ramen noodle from my friend's order. Everything was gorgeous. Absolutely loved the Yakotari. I will be back.
