We went here on New Year's eve for dinner. The restaurant is affiliated with the Soba restaurant below. All of the drinks come from that restaurant. They have typical western style seating and a strange hybrid Japanese style seating option. The latter has an elevated floor so it feels like you are e
The experience at umi is so elevating, it's now the standard I'll use when eating any form of sushi from now on. We ordered Bride of the Fox sake and the 11 course omakase. My favorite part of the meal, other than the flavors, were the smells. Definitely make it a point to breathe in each course off
This is the best restaurant I have been to in a while. Great staff. Explained everything he brought out and was fun to joke around with... We went downstairs before our reservation and had delish cocktails.. Definitely don't leave hungry. We went as a big sized group and had a blast. Different flavo
The ambiance was perfect for the date night we had. Staff was lovely, personable and well informed on the menu. The food itself was delicious, melt in your mouth pieces of fish in every course. It was a decadent experience but well worth it.
The ambience and vibe of Umi is top notch, walking up the stairs passed all of the cool wall art is exciting and then you get up to what feels like a fancy hidden gem. It's upscale, so yeah the sushi is a bit pricier than other places around, but the quality and pallet of flavors that they are able
Had a great time. I went for my birthday and didn't take any pics because I just wanted to enjoy the meal. My wife and I went for the 11 course omakase. We also ended up ordering extras of some of our favorite courses. I can still taste the sashimi with the shitake truffle topping. It was my favo
This has been a favorite of mine since they opened. I’ve never been to this place (which I frequent often) and had a less than exceptional experience. The food, the drinks, the waitstaff.. always on their top game. I recommend the red snapper sashimi, and any of the sushi rolls. You won’t be disappo
Up a very dark, steep staircase to a warm and personable restaurant with a distinctive full multi course menu from which it is difficult to vary. So it is a real "experience restaurant", and not for a casual meal. Have twice driven hundreds of miles to get to Umi. An impressive culinary experience.
I've been to this place countless times over the years. As far as quality goes, no other sushi/Japanese restaurant in the Pittsburgh area can touch it. The sushi and fresh fish are phenomenal. There is a 7 or 11 course meal option. The waiters are always helpful and never just point towards the more
My partner is Japanese... So sushi needs to hit a certain level for us. Umi always crosses that threshold.
The atmosphere is cozy. The service staff is always on top of their game and can make wonderful recommendations if needed.
The food is absolutely stunning, and the menu includes some unique i
Just amazing, melt in your mouth sushi dishes. Perfectly composed with great depth of flavor. The omakase is so worth it and Larry is the perfect waiter to present each course.
UMI was absolutely a unique dining experience that was all positive. In my opinion you are paying for the experience. Many reviews will tell you the amount of food isn't worth the high prices, but myself (and the rest of our party of 4) all firmly disagree. All four of us ordered the 11 course Omak
We loved each course. The food was to die for. Each severing was better than last. I wish I could eat there all day long! It’s worth every penny. Great customer service.
This was the best meal I have ever had. The service was equally as amazing. I cannot recommend Umi highly enough!!!
Pricey but hands down best sushi in Pittsburgh a must try once.
While I have a splendid array of words for the food; my five stars are specifically for our server of the evening, Cat. We visited on the night before my partner and I’s wedding accompanied by my maid of honor. Our server went above and beyond to make us feel like we were their only priority and the
