Umi Sushi

I was actually quite impressed by the quality of the sushi here. The in the rolls you get 6 pieces but they’re really fat with a thin layer of sushi rice and lots of filling, and their ingredients are superior quality. The service was very quick, and friendly. The place is also very cozy inside with super clean bathrooms.

I like the food they make. Sushi tastes fresh, waiters are polite. The place is small but cozy. I would prefer eating there than ordering a delivery, because in deliveries they give very little sauce and charge you for extra. Plus, you have to check the receipt closely, if ordering through the phone - I was overcharged 2 times. None of this is a problem if you dining in, they offer very nice service, good people.

The quality of sushi is great - the foos is fresh and they have lots of outside orders. But thein interior is not great. Better take out and eat at home! Their rolls have tiny layers of sushi rice making it a a perfect choice.

Great sushi place. Provides a huge variety of sushi. Everything is prepared quickly, and tastes wonderful. Free green tea also comes along with the experience. As for thr atmosphere, its a nice, cozy area to sit and relax with some sushi. 9/10

Dont come here , My son wanted a california roll when we get there they tell me i cant pay with card and its a 15$ minimum. Im sick of these places doing this illegal scam to get pay their fees. Disgusting and it smells here. Rude staff all for 5.75$

Do not order take out. Just ordered 8 rolls and only received 5. Not exactly worth the 50$ I paid.

Great rolls without an overabundance of rice. One of my favorite apps (sushi pizza) was extremely dry so that was disappointing. Otherwise good selection of everything else. Willing to try more from the menu.

This is a great sushi place in Brighton Beach. They have lunch specials and a very reasonable sushi and entrée menu. It can get busy inside at times, so a lot of people order carryout instead. Staff are busy and always running around, but welcoming and can give good suggestions.

I loooooove this place. They don't deserve such low rating because of some c*ap 10 years ago. I trust this place 100%! Best food! Really fresh good sushi. Service is amazing. You don't wait forever for your sushi or rolls like past reviews indicated. The atmosphere is very nice. It's a quiet local sushi place that always, always serves fresh sushi ! I so appreciate them. I never had food poisoning, never got sick after. Just amazing. They also have THE BEST Uni!!!

Very good and fresh sushi. The fish is definitely quality, slightly pricey but what isn't expensive nowadays? Ordered delivery. They said it would come in 40 minutes. It came in 20! Very good, will order again!

Sushi is always a win! Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared -- it never disappoints. Every bite is a perfect balance of taste and texture. My go-to comfort and crave-worthy favorite!

Stopped in on a whim for salon skin roll and yellowtail roll. Fresh, delicious and inexpensive. If I lived around here I'd order here all the time.

I've had nothing but good experiences here, whether I was dining in, ordering delivery, or getting takeout. Umi's sushi is affordable and pretty good quality. I always capitalize on their deal where you can buy two special rolls and get one free. I'm particularly obsessed with the Devil Roll, which features pepper tuna and black tobiko on top with kani salad and avocado inside. It's all topped with a slightly sweet sauce that is listed as jalapeño sauce but doesn't taste like that at all. The pepper tuna and kani salad make for a delicious combo. Some of the special rolls are hit or miss, but the Devil Roll never disappoints. The BBQ ika appetizer is also pretty good, as are the sashimi pizzas (adding a few other ingredients to these would make them even better though) and the service is fine. No hovering and constantly asking if everything is okay, which I love, but they constantly refill my tea or water, which I also love.

Ordered thru grubhub. Estimated arrival time 210pm. I called the restaurant at 215pm. "The driver is coming", said the lady on the phone. I called the second time at 246pm. "The driver left long time ago. Let me see what happen. I'm sorry, thank you for waiting", said the same lady on the phone. Driver called at 250pm to say he was arriving. I didn't get my order until 252pm. You know how when you pick up a piece of sushi roll it keeps it's round shape. Well, as I picked up a piece it fell apart immediately. The seaweed was soggy, no longer keeping the sushi rolls round shape. My order was obviously left somewhere, either indoors or outdoors, neglected by this evidence. Like a hungry fool I am, I ate it. I just hope I don't get sick later... Also, I just glimpsed at the health violations listed here. Is that legit?? Wished I'd seen it before I ordered.

I ordered food and they did not ask for my phone number. I waited for over an hour for my food. Then I called the restaurant and they told me that they have been calling me. I realized that they did not take my number. I gave her my number. The lady said that she was going to make my food. The phone was busy. I tried to call five times and the phone was busy. Finally, I received a call from the driver and he said that he is downstairs. I tried to explain to him what happened and he wanted me to come downstairs to get the food. I insisted that he can come upstairs, it was the least he can do. He refused to come upstairs so I went downstairs. I was on the phone with restaurant as I was going downstairs. She said that she was going to speak to the manager. I got disconnected for a minute. I called back and a gentleman picked up the phone. He said that the only way I can get my money back is if I return the Sushi. I already ate it. I said that this is the last time you get my money. Mindy from the restaurant said that I would get free credits for three rolls. I have been ordering from them for six months and this is the first time that I have received poor customer service. I really wanted to gave zero stars.

Its a very long wait. I had a party of 3 and waited almost 2 hours. Food was the usual buffet food, nothing special except for the grilled lobster. The line for the lobster is long but moves fast.

Always on point customer service could be better food is delicious ambiance is pretty good

The best place Clean, fresh and tasty yams, food is amazing, many Yers I am really enjoyed this place. Everything great!

The one star review is for one reason and one reason only. I ordered online. The lady calls me and says hey I see you put in your notes that you want spicy Mayo and eel sauce, that's going to cost extra, also changing the salmon in the Philly roll from smoked to fresh will cost extra too. What? I'm giving you $85 and you can't give me a spicy Mayo and an eel sauce? Ok sure. She said we can do this for you but you will need to hand the driver $3 cash. Ok fine, whatever. So the food comes and I give him $3. I start unpacking and eating because I was starving. Look around, No sauces were included with my food. A very big f u to me. This place just lost my business indefinitely. Also, Food was meh. There are better places in the area.

Amazing quality sushi for excellent prices. I usually get takeout because I live so close, but the atmosphere of the restaurant is also pretty relaxing and aesthetically pleasing. It is small and simple, but clean and homey. I prefer it to Sachiko across the street by a landslide. Highly recommend the spicy yellowtail roll and any of the hibachi fried rices.

Consistently good sushi. Definitely my go to delivery spot in the neighborhood. I especially love the Brighton Beach roll and their yellowtail sushi is super fresh!

I like this place and im disapointed at their conduct and customer sercive.I placed an order at 2.16pm. I had the lunch special 3 rolls for 9.95 and a chicken teriaky. When i got my order i checked the price of chicken teriaky and it was 14.95. None of the prices listed for the lunch special. I called to ask why was i charged the price and the reception told me i was given dinner plate. I asked why, when it is lunch time. He said unless i request they give you the higher price. They do not give lunch special after 4, why do they think they have a right to charge dinner prices during lunch?! They also did not give the soup that came with the rolls. I had to call to get it. I was their customer for over 10 years, wont be returning back. So long Umi!

Food is good, but is the attitude that comes with it worth spending your money here? NO. I called for the lunch special for Teriyaki chicken, however, I forgot that I wanted the extra sauce on the side as well. I called back and mentioned to the lady who I was recently just talking to that I wanted to add extra sauce on the side as well. The hosts said okay "Mhmm hmmm no problem. " Once I get there she repeats the order and mentioned that I asked for no sauce on the teriyaki chicken and that I just wanted it on the side completely. I told the hosts that was not what I said. Instead of just saying okay she proceeds to go back and forth. Once I told her for the third time that's not what I wanted. She now then has an attitude because she has to re-open the back and add it. While opening the bag very aggressively she then hands me my card and receipt to sign with attitude. I should have just left food there and walked out but this would be my last time because the attitude was uncalled for. I order from there all the time and they will see that on their register when you call. However, this is not the first time I encountered a attitude with hosts either. My fiancè has been going there for a long time and I told him after today I would no longer be spending my money there. This restaurant needs to work on its clientele and how they talk to people. It's not a good feeling when a consumer can feel negative energy.

I was so looking forward to try food from this place, but what a disappointment.... First of all they didn't offer any tea or water( not a good sign at the beginning already!!!) we've ordered teriyaki. I had vegetable teriyaki ($8.95). There was not enough sauce and veggi were not fully cooked( zucchini was simply raw!!!:(((( . My sister had asparagus tofu teriyaki ,that had more raw( yes RAW onions) then asparagus... but luckily tofu was delicious ( 1 star for that) But again the teriyaki supposed to have more sauce . But the waitress was terrible!!!!! She seemed so mad and irritated. I've never felt so unwelcomed ....we decided not to leave her any tips( because of her attitude) . Tips are not mandatory, but when we got our check, guess what? Tips were included (20%!!!! For that face and rudeness ?)wow... I wouldn't recommend this sushi to any one !!! And I will never come back

Came here to eat and the lady who is working the front is the owner of the restaurant and let me say SHE HAD THE WORST ATTITUDE EVER never will I come back to eat here again. Avoid this place there are better quality sushi elsewhere

I'm a person of habit and usually order the same thing from restaurants. If it's good, why change it? This place is consistently fresh and has always provided good quality sushi. We order very simple rolls so I can't speak for their tempura or hand rolls, or teriyaki, but as for the California, sweet potato and futomaki rolls, they always come out fresh and perfect temperature. The only thing I don't like is that they charge you for extra ginger and their prices have become a little outrageous. We asked for tobiko (fish eggs) on our rolls as an add on. It used to be 50¢ a roll. Then they went up to $1 per roll and now even up to $2 PER ROLL!! A little outrageous so we just stopped adding it on as it would bump the price of our order up by almost $10 on a $27-$30 order. We've learned our lesson in this case but continue to enjoy to-go orders once in a while.

I ordered delivery on their web site, after 3 minutes they call me and said I have to pay extra , because the price is changed. And I have to pay it cash! When I asked why I have to? The girl start to scream and rudely talk

Local Asian fusion Japanese restaurant. Fresh fish and decent prices. Service is always good. We order online from this place a lot too.

Went back recently to give it another chance and I've got to say, they've improved over the years. Maybe they got a new chef, the sushi I ordered turned out descent amount of fish inside the rolls and less crunch.

My friend and I got two lunch specials and he found this big disgusting bug in his miso soup!

i like the food here, but I had negative experience today - when i called and said i want to order lunch, lady on the phone told me to wait, started to shout something in Chinese(or other language I don't know) and then when i made a selection she said next time when you want to order lunch tell me that ahead. First of all i said that in the beginning, second if you even didn't hear what i said change your attitude and don't tell your customer (who is always) right what to do, I'm paying money and you are servicing me, think twice before saying something there is bunch of other places here on Brighton, so with just few words you can lose your loyal customers.. i think the phone picked up either owner or the manager, general feedback - let your workers do the customer service because you don't know how to talk to people.

Rude waitress and below acceptable food. Generally an easy-going customer, I chose not to complain about the tiny portions of stinky miso, not-so-fresh fish, and brown-spotted avocado with dry edges in my handroll. I was done in 15 min and requested the check. The waitress threw a tantrum when she saw the minimal tip - she came back sticking her finger into the receipt, demanding that I pay her more and attempting to humiliate me when I politely refused, explaining how I was unimpressed with the quality of food and service. No wonder this place never has a line of customers

The food and service, is not bad for this kind of restaurant.My wife and I had a lunch special, my wife had the Shrimp Teriyaki meal, I had the sushi/ California roll meal. My wife got her order very fast, but the waitress forgot about my order and left it on the counter for about 20 minutes until I asked her about it. My food order was very small,and not very satisfying.

autumn small sushi !! noodles and meat are great. And the sushi is very small. what is there to save on? rice and some fish. despite the fact that any sushi is relatively cheap.

I don't want to say that this sushi place is the best, but due to the lack of Japanese restaurants in the Brighton Beach area I consider this one to be pretty decent. Delivery is on time. Food is fresh. Prices and Portions are adequate. Before leaving the restaurant I advise you not to be lazy, walk a few steps and leave a tip in the tip jar for the sushi masters. Expressing the slightest sign of appreciation with a few dollar bills puts a smile on their face And you walk away with a feeling of some sort of accomplishment.

Smaller portions. They split one piece of sashimi to make it look like two pieces. Also the quality isn't too good either. There are better sushi places in the area. Some of the staff is alittle rude too. Wouldn't recommend

Attended a birthday party and they had a few sushi trays delivered. Honestly, nothing special or wow -- not good, not bad, just ahhh ok.

This was my go to sushi spot when ordering lunch at work for the last 2+ years, but the last month or so it seems to have gone down hill. I rotate between the same sushi rolls, and today I was really craving the volcano roll, which I got along with a spicy tuna hand roll and a Boston roll, and a sunomono app. The sunomono used to have octopus and other fish in it, but the last few weeks they just fill it with tuna, white tuna, some salmon, and some yellowtail. The volcano roll tasted nothing like it was supposed to, and the spicy tuna hand roll tasted weird too. Boston roll was good but I guess it's hard to fuck that up. Even the spicy Mayo was a weird color today and very liquid. I guess I'll have to find a new sushi place to order from now, which sucks cause most of the ones that deliver to my job are shit.

Fresh sushi and great with ordering online. Their miso soup, however has an old mushroom flavor that deems it inedible.

The sushi here is pretty good Fresh and not too much rice They also have a good variety of sushi It's by no means fancy, just a regular sushi joint type. Great prices relative to other places that serve fresh fish. The main reason I'm giving it 3 stars is the unfriendly wait staff. I normally would reserve this comment for some really, seriously crappy service... But the bitch faces you get and the rude, impatient tone is really unacceptable - not to mention glares of disgust. I would definitely come back again Just keep in mind that you'll be barked at Consider coming here with someone who would deal with the waitstaff for you Or ordering out

Fish was rarely fresh, restaurant cancels orders after hours wait, restaurants like this should not be allowed to function. Disgusting management, so many better options. They should've stayed closed. Wanted to give them another shot but they canceled my order after an hour and telling me the driver was on the way.

Great food and rude service. The rolls are really nice for under 3$.

Have been ordering from this place for years now ...never had any complaints but last couple of times they have been really messing it up .last time I ordered they completely got my order wrong and they gave me a shrimp tempura roll instead of a chicken tempura I have shrimp allergies so I cannot eat shrimp. Today I decided to order my usual and received two spoiled Philadelphia rolls... not to mention both of those times I've waited over an hour for my food... Probably never ordering from here again!!

I have been going here for years, I've never been disappointed once with the establishment. They have good customer service, and the prices are reasonable.

THIS PLACE IS FOR TAKE OUT SUSHI. I see people hate the in-restaurant service, which is a shame. For the price point, this is the best maki sushi I have every had. Are the other menu items solid? I don't know. Don't really care. ~$3 gets me any kind of sushi roll I ever want. I don't stray elsewhere, but the wife likes the fried rice and some other dishes. I didn't think much of the dumplings, but I rarely like dumplings anyway. Sushi sushi sushi it is all about the sushi here people.

WARNING! Bugs in their food!! Old food, dirty place. Yuck! Places like thing make me afraid of eating sushi

Go here if you want to experience the odor of a post Sandy business that decided not to renovate and keep the mold, where is belongs, inside the wall. The place smells stale, the service is a little better than Cancun central bookings and sushi was diarrhea. At the end of the day, this was a pretty good experience, but I would not recommend to a friend.

I have to admit, Umi Japanese Cuisine was simply mind-blowing. This place is awesome at what it does. Spectacular menu and fantastic Yellowtail. The team is really courteous also. I can genuinely say Umi Japanese Cuisine is amazing.

I've been a customer almost 4 years. At the beginning, I couldn't think of any other place to order sushi. Food delivery was 30min. Fast right? Well today it's 2 hours, very chewy and bwwww. The delivery guy is a jerk. I gave him $5 tip , he looks at me like "WTF" like give me more. Never EVER again.

Got delivery from here and the food and sushi was delicious. But, I wished the raw fish was more fresh, they were room temperature when I received it.

I order or go here at least once a week, religiously. This place has fresh sushi and a great vibe. It's near the boardwalk which makes it a great lunch spot to hit after a beach day for something light. The spicy tuna bowl is really yummy, the hand rolls are amazing and the shrimp gyoza is delicious. This place will never go out of business. It's always busy and the service is great. The staff works super fast because they have so many orders and deliveries. Just proves how great of a place it is. I've been going here as long as they opened and they never let me down or let me leave on an empty stomach!

This was a horror. The tuna roll was funky and the crunchy roll had no fish inside it, just crunchy. The lady that answered the phone she was so rude she cursed me out. I will never order from there. ZERO STARS. I want my money back. They suck !

Absolutely garbage place with garbage people. I don't care to post about shitty places, nor do I, but I'm gonna write my once in a year post. Last time I ordered $100 worth of sushi, they fucked yo the order and forgot to put any condiments including chop sticks. I made them come back, just for chopsticks. I just ordered $125 of sushi, they forgot chopstick. Fuck this place.

The sushi is always fresh and good. The restaurant is cute enough to eat in, service is good and sushi is good also to take out as well. I enjoy this local spot.

Food: Tasty & purrty fresh Ambiance: Calm & clean Service: *ahem!* About that... service was rushed & the staff was impatient, impolite, imeverything!! Impression: For a future Umi craving, I say order online & get it delivered

Once I discovered Umi no other sushi place can compare. Granted the menu is limited, not a huge variety of sushi rolls, just the standard. But absolutely the best. The ratio of fish to rice is perfect, very little rice. In the few years that I have been eating there, there were a couple of times that the sushi was a little off, my bet is the regular chef was on vacation. That must account for a few of the negative reviews. Otherwise, no better sushi, anywhere.

Order from here all the time! Not expensive, delicious, and the people are lovely! Thank you
