"You won’t need to wait for the GPS to say, “You have arrived” when pulling up to Umi in the Northeast. The exterior looks like Central High School’s stage crew got a hold of thousands of cherry blossom decorations and never looked back. The inside is just as over the top, with bright, beaming light displays over hibachi, BBQ, ramen, dumpling, and hot pot stations, not to mention a panda character waving an animated sushi board. Unfortunately, the seafood quality and flavors don’t match the Japanese emporium, neon-lit hype (the broths are bland, and the stir fry tastes two days old). Save the $38.99 and head to your go-to sushi and ramen spot for fish and tonkotsu ramen that are cheaper and more memorable. video credit: CANDIS R. MCLEAN" - Candis R. McLean
