Review Umi - Atlanta

Mitch McCurry

Sushi was great. Best cocktails of any sushi restaurant I’ve been to in Atlanta, albeit a bit pricey. Service was excellent.

You will NEVER have a bad experience here. The consistency is amazing. The food is to die for and so fresh!

Umi was absolutely delicious and worth every single bite ! I was surprised to see how crowded it was on a Tuesday night and was pretty frustrated by having to wait almost 40 minutes past our reservation time. BUT, the service and food completely made up for it. We were given 2 complimentary appetizers due to our long wait, which was so incredibly thoughtful. Every dish we ordered was delicious, probably one of the best sushi places I have tried! Can’t wait to visit again

Food was incredible. Ambiance is good, but it will feel a lot like many other places. Music was a bit loud. Donut dessert thing is worth it. Get one for two people even if house recommends otherwise.

This place was the best sushi experience of my 55 year old life, and I have been eating sushi in CA since 1992. Our favorites were the Nigiri daily specials of fatty tuna, Japanese red snapper. We got the chef special 2 piece which was excellent. The eel box was good. The tuna carpaccio was incredible! We finished with crepe cake and chocolate bomb. The crepe cake was wonderful and not overly sweet. We had an amazing time for my BFF’s birthday. Good sushi is an experience, also check out the bathrooms.

First time here, we are new to Atlanta and are trying all the restaurants and celebrating our anniversary. I had the omakase because I wanted to taste the best of everything the chef had to offer. The sashimi was very tasty and fresh. I chose only sashimi, no nigiri(no rice). The lobster that is seared at the table was so good, tender and sweet. My husband had the chicken teriyaki. It was good, chicken was tender but nothing special. My pinot grigio was delish and my husband's drink was yummy as well. The only thing negative is that it got very busy very fast, so our drinks were not getting filled as needed. Next time I will order my sashimi alacart and choose the pieces I enjoy the most.

It's $$$$, but it's good. I see a lot of complaints about service, our server was fn awesome.

The food is top notch. We reserved a seat but the space near the bar was cramped. I wonder why the outdoor patio isn’t used. Did I say the food was delish? The vibe is also very nice.

Every time I'm in Atlanta I need to make a stop at Umi. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. The food and drinks are beyond delicious. One of my favorites is the shrimp tempura. It's impossible to just get one so order two of these (trust me). Dresscode is strictly enforced here so make sure you dress the part. Who knows you might even see a celebrity or two. Last time I saw Trey Songz.

Amazing Omakase experience. All of the dishes were excellent. They were very busy and it was quite loud inside. Service was mostly good (drinks were a little slow to arrive and there was a longer wait to place an order than I might have wished). Overall a good experience and I would go back. Bring your larger wallet/purse though!

Dark vibes. Great food and great customer service! If your into sushi I very much recommend this spot! Make reservations in advance 😎 Just remember you get what you pay for break come with no budget 🤑

Shocked that this restaurant was not in the Michelin guide. The tasting menu they offer is every bit as good or better than any of the restaurants who got a star. If you're in Buckhead and want a high quality meal with excellent service and vibe to boot, I can't recommend their tasting menu enough (Umi Miyabi). It's fantastic.

Umi offers luxury dining, which can be intrusive at times. Someone was always coming to the table, rearranging plates, glasses and napkins. Wait staff tells you the chef's recommendation on how to "properly enjoy" each dish, lending to a micromanaged feel. The dining space is also incredibly dark and loud, which makes intimate conversation difficult. That said, the dishes were coursed well, so we didn't get too full too quickly. And the foie gras nigiri was one of the most delicious things I've eaten in a very long time.

My favorite restaurant and my top recommendation for a culinary experience in Atlanta. The cuisine is next-level. The atmosphere is dark, sophisticated and stylish. They make magic happen here.

See receipt I posted Update, we went back just for appetizers and drinks! I wasn't wrong, it's as perfect as the first time. The lobster crunch roll, brown butter lobster are my favorites! The only restaurant that makes my custom Japanese drink correctly!! See receipt for pricing Best sushi in the South and best lobster you will ever taste so get everything lobster plus the jalapeno yellow tail

We decided to go to Umi based on a friend’s recommendation rather than the negative reviews. I’m so glad we did. We had an enjoyable time here. The food was really delicious! It is pricey for the amount you get the but the flavors are unique and delicious. The wait staff was prompt and helpful. We really enjoyed ourselves.

This isn’t your average sushi spot, Umi is the kind of place where you want to spend a special night with a very special person. The service is impeccable, atmosphere is vibrant and the creative menu selections surpasses what you might think sushi should be. The flavors danced in our mouths with every curated bites by Chef Todd. When you come here, must suspend your expectations and ask for Kevin by name and let him serve the menu of today’s freshest offerings. We put our trust in him and he did what we were told to expect…. The unknown is more tantalizing than reading listed menu ingredients and expect the anticipated flavors! We did opted for the chef’s tasting menu because heard (from the tea leafs) that their fish arrived freshly from Japan today. Once Kevin’s described today’s special fish varieties the evening was off to an awesome start. I could list and post photos of everything we ate… but I rather you see come and experience the art of food. Special thank you to our unsung hero, ahem, Sung! No pun intended but wow, thank you for the rec! This evening wouldn’t have happened had we not had the serendipitous pleasure of meeting you 🫶🏼 Kevin, Chef Todd and Sung: you made out Atlanta trip memorable. A thousand thank you’s 😘

Top notch sushi and Japanese cuisine. First time there, I didn’t have the best service experience but this time around was excellent. Highly recommend the nigiri sampler, miso cod and brussel sprouts. Everything is good though.
