The restaurant is very cute and I love the hospitality. The workers are really sweet. I would come again. A little comment on the food: the sushi rice I got was a big dry and the miso black cod was just a few minuets over cooked. But overall, the flavors were just delicious!
I don't really write Google reviews but I feel like I have to after coming across Umi and having a meal here.
The assorted sashimi is wonderful - very fresh and delicious! The dragon roll is beautifully presented, with prawn and avocado. Tempura is also great, the batter was just right, crispy and not too thick. The servings are of generous portions.
Service was friendly and the food came quickly. The manager even kindly explained to us what all the different kinds of sashimi were!
I love Japanese food and I feel like Umi is one of the best Japanese restaurants in London I've ever had. Will definitely be returning if I'm in the area again!

At the end of the meal they give all their little customers mini packs of haribo gummies , so thoughtful . Definetly the best japanese in Twickenham and One of the best japanese restuarents in London .
Nice place, always welcoming. We discovered this place in one rainy evening walking on Twickenham High street. Since the first time we are been amazed from the freshness of the food, especially the sushi, and the unique flavour of the dishes. Personally i love the special flavour of Tuna Tataki, marinated Tofu, Nasu Dengaku Eggplants, fried Rice with Pork, and Kurogoma ice cream( Black Sesame ice-cream) absolutely amazing taste! The Plums wine is the best, and every time we come back for a dinner, we never stop at 2 chalices only…
:-D
Very tidy place, always, with a very relaxing and intimate atmosphere. The personell at the service is always kind, smiling and welcoming.
We continue to come back happily.
Clean and tidy toilets. Prices in the average. Thank you Umi, you always give us lovely time to share.
Lovely evening had here with a friend.
Small restaurant so make sure you book, especially towards the end of the week. Place was packed when I was there. Does mean that the place feels buzzing which helps with the atmosphere.
We ordered a mix of started, sushi and sashimi platter, and some individual sushi hand rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious.
Drink selection was enough to suit most requirements.
Add in the fact that the service is friendly and efficient, the place strikes a good balance between formal and informal, and pricing is relatively good value compared to some in Central with an uptick in quality over most… and I recommend this place if you’re in the area.
My wife and I came in for another wonderful sushi-dinner at the weekend and, having been enjoying this place for years (first in its former Richmond location and more recently in Twickenham), felt it was about time to leave the 5-star review Umi deserves. Menu: excellent wide selection. Sushi quality: outstanding. Ambience: intimate, comfortable and pleasant. Service: friendly, helpful, welcoming. An especial 'thank you' must go to Manager Bobby whose warmth, kindness and attention to detail have kept us coming back for the last decade!
Very delicious, fresh, and authentic Japanese food that is reasonably priced! The waitress who served us this evening was lovely and friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving Japanese food.
An added bonus: There's a multistorey carpark two minutes walk away that is free of charge after 6pm from Monday to Saturday, and completely free on Sunday.
Had an amazing experience dining here, would highly recommend it! We booked a table for later that day and although they were busy, they managed to squeeze us in. So glad they could - the sashimi was fresh and the sushi was delicious. Particularly enjoyed the dragon roll. The service was perfect - the staff were friendly, attentive and generous. Will definitely be back in future.
mmm, crunchy. But seriously, the tempura are great and anything that are crunchy are crunchy. Service was great too. Although the place look quite dark from outside, the food are great and I didn't expect that. This place is underrated, I would definitely recommend you to come here to try them out!
Excellent food and attentive service. I haven’t tasted food like this since my last trip to Tokyo. Would highly recommend trying this restaurant.
