Sushi Uma

Came in on a Sunday afternoon after going on a hike. My friends and I decided to do the AYCE sushi. It's a casual and small restaurant. Service was a little slow, despite most of the customers leaving after we were seated. We had to wait a bit before a waiter took our order. Later on, when we put our second order in, we had to wait approximately 30min for it to arrive. While we were waiting, they prepared many to-go orders. Fish was fresh! I was extremely happy with the quality and freshness of the nigirl. Also really enjoyed the coral reefs roll.

Food was great, very tasty and enjoyable. The service not much, the server at the time with a big smile brought us the bill as soon as we got our food, and we were planning on ordering more food, for some reason she seemed she wanted us to leave. But always with a smile trying to “nice”. We are not coming back.

Small restaurant. Came in at an uncharacteristically warm evening for SF and the place was very warm. I'm not expecting air conditioning or fans for a single warm night in SF, but I was kind of expecting iced water. But even that had to be requested (and the waitress forgot the ice...). All by itself wouldn't have been the end of the world, except the fish was also warm. Which is quite off putting for sushi. I would like to give them another chance, but with so many other decent places around... Not sure if they'll ever get the chance.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at sushi uma, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The contemporary atmosphere immediately caught my attention, blending modern design with a cozy, inviting vibe. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the sushi. I tried the Lion King Roll and the Dragon Roll, both of which were outstanding. The Lion King Roll had a perfect balance of flavors, with the richness of the baked salmon complementing the fresh ingredients inside. The Dragon Roll, with its eel and avocado, was equally impressive, offering a delightful mix of textures and flavors. The presentation was also noteworthy; each dish was a work of art, carefully crafted and beautifully plated. The service was prompt and attentive, with staff who were knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. Overall, Sushi Uma offers a sushi experience that is both sophisticated and satisfying. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or just looking for a great meal in a stylish setting, this place is definitely worth a visit.

This is my first time coming here and what I need to say is that the food and the service was amazing.

Very delicious sushi. The food came out quick and the service was great! We will definitely be back.

SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF. I am 3 hrs from the bay area and they let me charge my phone here!! I recommend

Food was solid. Service INCREDIBLY slow. Never refilled my water. Didn’t bring me a napkin. Soy sauce empty. I waited over 30 minutes for my second round. I got fuller as I waited and they charge if you don’t finish everything. This slow service seems like it might be planned.

It's a nice place, food is yummy, service is sweet and helpful. I enjoy the environment.

Great food and service! Would come back here again to try more of their menu, fish tasted very fresh!

Great food and great friendly service. Open late which makes it better. Highly recommended

I stumbled upon this hidden gem that's open until 11:30 PM, and I'm so glad I did! There wasn't any wait time so the waiter was able to seat us quickly. The premium omakase was not only delicious but also surprisingly affordable. The quality of the fishes were actually pretty good and tasted fresh. I didn't expect the Uni to be actually so creamy and a big piece. What truly sets this place apart is its late night hours, making it the perfect spot for a post dinner adventure or a satisfying meal after a long day.

We came around 4pm, we were the only customer there. The food was acceptable, we ordered one spicy tonkotsu, a non-spicy one and a bento box. The bento box came quick, serving was ok, chicken tasted salty and no taste at all. The shrimp tempura had more flour than the shrimp, like it's premade frozen. We could barely taste the shrimp meat . The bento box feels like the type of food where you can get at other place for cheaper. We then proceed to wait 30mins for our tonkotsu ramen. They were tasteless, we couldn't taste the broth and felt like drinking boiling water. Only the egg has taste. The server was nice though. Overall the food needs to be improved and it should not be this slow when we were the only customer in the store. Wont be trying for the second time.

I have been coming here for years. My mom had a double lung transplant and was staying up the street from this place in 2019. Excellent quality of fish. Always fresh and full of flavor. I usually do take out but tonight I sat down. I was the only person at 8 pm on Saturday but lots of Togo orders. Ambiance is nice quiet. I was pretty much left alone which was nice I was just eating by myself. Another couple came in a lil after me. Hot tea was very good better than other places I've been. The quiet was a nice change. If you want excellent quality fish this is your spot. I've tried a few sushi places around this area but this is my favorite for sure!!

I walked past and stopped by Sushi Uma on Irving. It's one of the nicest Sushi places in SF. I ordered a sushi Combo and it was very big for a person, The fish had very big pieces, not too much rice which I loved . As a local I recommend sushi Uma, just give it a try.

Service was wonderful! Very attentive service and really went above and beyond. Food was absolutely delicious and would highly recommend this restaurant! Great location on Irving street. Ambiance was authentic, true hidden gem!

Very kind service, clean ambiance, delicious menu with great specials. The fish was delicious - would definitely recommend!

homies be skimping on giving food :( I ordered a Romeo & Juliet roll during lunch and they gave me this. For a small business in Irving, I would've expected a bit more food. The top seared Scallop part also threw me off because it was kinda hard. Each piece was TINY and for $18, I was mega sad.

Don't come here if you're used to eating actually high quality sushi. Basic rolls are not even entirely wrapped, small amount of fish, with lots of not so great rice. Nigiri in the omakase was really fishy with wasabi that was abnormally strong. The tuna in the maki still had its tendons and was discolored. For service, we waited 37 min before we got food on a slow night. The only reason it's not a one star is because it's a clean place. Slimy, chewy, fishy, and gross.

Amazing food with even better service ! Recommend this place any time of the day! Super fresh fish(:

I walked from a different direction on Irving and I found this sushi store and I thought I would try it, but I was so mad that the bento box was once again $21 and then I wanted 4 pc sashimi and it was $40 for my sushi dinner tonight. It's healthy but it's the same thing and it's so expensive. It's $25 and I like sushi and the waitress Nicole. I got a phone call and I am confused because I have no idea why Japanese food and Chinese food are not the same thing, but anyway. Dad says hi from heaven and I hope you have a good holiday. PS SUSHI UMA THURMAN AND OPRAH UMA OLD JOKE!!

I ordered on Uber eats and called the store to see if they can add extra soy sauce and wasabi. The lady answered and LIED saying that the order wasn't here and the driver already picked it up. Which I knew was bullshit because on the Uber app I still wasn't assigned the Uber wars driver. The lady pretends to know barely any English. What reason was there for you to straight up lie to me? Are you that lazy? After being assigned to a Uber eats driver. I asked him to make sure they give extra soy sauce and wasabi. They fucking refused... like wtf?? My order was $80 and you give me this small ass piece of wasabi??? THE FOOD ISNT EVEN THAT GOOD!!!!

The food was amazing!! Service was fire as well. I got the San Francisco roll and it was delish. Super fresh and yum. And the gyoza and miso soup so yummy.

Fabulous service. My favorite local spot, I love coming here! I was so happy with the sushi roll I got ... I recommend the red dragon roll.

If I could I would give them 0 stars. Absolutely horrible. I ordered takeout and had to wait 10 minutes at the front before anyone would even walk up to me, I had to call out for someone to come to host stand because they were too busy talking to each other. I live walking distance from this store so there was no way it was "sitting out too long." We got the Nigiri Combo no.1 the fish was warm and so fishy I couldn't even swallow it, we also got the spider roll that was mainly filled with imitation crab and old soft shell crab( you could smell how fishy it was as soon as we opened the container) I have never tasted a roll that actually tasted like old fish that sat outside for what seemed like weeks, we also got the dragon roll with brown avocado, takoyaki that tasted like old frying oil, and miso soup that tasted like water. I called back because the food was just inedible, I love sushi but this was not it, I could barely swallow the fish, and ended up spitting out more bites than eating. My partner had a few bites and threw up from this.... We called to get a refund because we spent over $100 and had a few bites and literally got sick, we called and they claimed they couldn't find my order and asked if I ordered from Sushi Uma and if I am calling the right place. They handed the phone over to 3 different people because they didn't want to "deal" with this and the girl on the phone said we didn't order from here, they were too busy, and she could find the order even though she was the one who helped me pick my order up, that's pretty weird if you ask me, after I told her she was the one who helped me she hung up the phone. I called back and the man who seems like the owner, asked if I was calling th right place and said he also couldn't find that we paid, he told me to call my bank and figure it out and hung up the phone. Not only is the food bad, the service is awful. I hope they switch things up.

Wonderful service, great selection, and quality ingredients. I love coming here for lunch when they're a little less busy :) definitely recommend!

I wanted to try something fresh and raw. There lots of sushi choices in the city and I was looking to try something different on Irving. The red dragon roll at Sushi Uma was delicious. The Boston roll was surprisingly good. Overall a good place to get raw in the city.

When I walked in a nice lady greeted us, as there were 5 of us the wait time was ok, pretty standard. The ambiance was great! Pretty comfortable. I do think the food took a bit long but other than that the food was good, the salmon portion was better than other places that I have been too. I got the Salmon Teriyaki bento, the miso soup was solid, and as well as the whole bento. Would I visit again? Yeah, if I'm in the area again!

Good taste! The service was really fast and the waiters were very kind. The food was properly proportioned and the sushi had many different tastes. If I had to describe it, it would be more like a flavorful punch in the mouth. I would recommend this place to sushi lovers as it is one of the best spots in SF.

Ambiance is great , you get the food immediately . Love love love love the speed . Food good , service about 2 min

Best service and delicious food, We had Lion King Roll and San Fran. Miso soup was also really good :)

We were hungry in the afternoon, and places around me were closed. But we found Sishi Uma. I have passed the place a countless times, but never set my foot inside (but always liked the door design) we ordered fried chicken, miso soup, and dragon sushi rolls. We liked all of them. The soup was hot enough to make me feel warm, and the chicken was crispy and tender at the same time, and the rolls were flavorful. I might come back to try more things and experience their service and ambiance.

I've only tried their food once from the UberEats app. The sushi rolls are a lot smaller in size than regular Japanese rolls. Usually I need to take 2 bites to finish one piece, but the rolls at Sushi Uma I could easily fit 1 whole sushi in my mouth. The rice is not pressed together though, so it does start to separate when you're eating even with chopsticks. I appreciate that they're not at all skimpy on the fish when making their nigiris though! The food is fresh and tasty and on their UberEats, there is a buy 1 get 1 free sushi roll option for the Boston Roll. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of but it's a good value even despite the smaller sizes. Because of the buy 1 get 1 free roll, I still give Sushi Uma 4 stars which originally would've been a 3 for me.

Service was so great, they poured our tea & our sake for us. The food was really delicious, and I love that they open til midnight. Ambiance was nice, I miss the city. Shop was small, but it's decorated beautifully. Last call is at 11:30.

Came here on a Saturday night and it was empty but the vibe was great! We had the tuna, CA roll, red dragon roll and the Lava Roll. The red dragon was my favorite as it had spicy tuna inside and shrimp tempura inside. The service was friendly and fast!

The meat for my bento box was undercooked. Everything else was fine, but was disappointed when some pieces were extremely chewy and barely edible. I had to wait to pay as well since the kitchen staff were also arguing towards the end of our meal and the server was out.

Just had an amazing meal! The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast or just trying it for the first time, this spot will not disappoint. Can't wait to come back!

The atmosphere was very calm and chill. The food was great and came out very quickly. The server was very kind and attentive. 5/5

Such great sushi, this was So fast and the service was great! The ambiance was amazing! I recommend the San Francisco roll!

Yummy sushi in the sunset! Do a California roll and spicy tuna very well. The lobster specialty roll takes a bit to come out but definitely worth the wait.

Great food and awesome service! I will definitely be coming back and getting the Hottie Roll again!!

Beautiful, open late; service was so nice!! The sushi itself was great, I think the food was authentic and I enjoyed the kindness from the staff.

The sushi is fresh and yummy! and the chicken katsu is great as well. The staff is cordial and service is great as well.

Had the salmon teriyaki/shrimp tempura combo. Comes with miso soup, CA roll, cucumber lettuce salad, and rice. Large quantity of food for a reasonable price. Added unagi nigiri as an app. Nice server and ambiance.

I got a Curry Chicken Katsu with Rice and it was really yummy. The service was impeccable. The environment was very welcoming and the staff were nice. This is the after picture.

Support local. Very fresh sashimi. Chirashi bowl serving was more than adequate. Seated right away during lunch hour. Polite service.

Nigiri is amazing. Flavor, presentation practically speaks for itself. I will definitely be back.

A hip and chill spot for a late night meal. Service was straight to the point and friendly

The customer service was great, our server was genuine and nice. Salmon was kind of dry on the bento but overall a good place to stop by to eat. The place was great, very clean and also was nice enough to give us a free roll for the review. Open late as well compared to other sushi places!

delicious sushi and food，friendly and excellent service!! I'll come back again!!! The chef and waitress provided good hospitality!

EVERYTHING TASTED OLD AND FISHY! Not good. My stomach is literally turning right now. I got avacado rolls for my vegetarian friend with a fish allergy and they are not feelings well right now. Only reason why I give them 2 stars instead of 1 is because the walu nigiri was sort of fresh tasting and it was edible. 70 bucks worth of sushi wasted. Don't recommend.

Took my family here for a late lunch and it was one of the worst experience ever. Ordered 4 bentos. 1 salmon which tasted like rubber. 3 beef which was the chewiest beef ever. The sushi was ok but on the smaller sized than other restaurants we've been to. The waiters was in her own little world with her phone if u know what I mean. We were the only customers in the restaurant and we had to waive her down cuz she's on her phone. Not once did she come over to see if we needed anything else or if everything was ok or not. Poor service. Definitely not coming back here again.

Tried the first time, food was decent, definitely will go back for sushi when we r in sunset area, but the bathroom was too dirty... Please keep it clean. Very nice staffs, good sushi rolls & poke salads!!!

Very fresh ingredients, good selection and excellent service. The music was not my favorite...

I love the sushi and sashimi here; everything is so fresh and delicious. Amazing service! They serve great portions and their Boston roll is a must try!

The service was great! Quiet and relaxing, food came out really fast. Everything was really fresh. We will come again! (:

Sushi Uma is worth a visit. The service was quick, the place is clean and the food was fresh. We had the sushi combo and Julio and Romeo rolls. Both were delicious
