Umi Sushi

I'm not a big sushi fan, but my daughter loves it. I have been to this restaurant twice and really enjoyed staff's suggestions based on my very narrow choices of foods. Food was served hot (we picked all hot sushi items) and made fresh. The serving size was enough for us, and prices are reasonable.

Food was hot and fresh. Large chunks of fish and veg in sushi. Tempura was crisp and not soggy. Very tasty. Service was efficient and nice. Dining room was a little chilly at times due to the door opening right into the dining room. Can appreciate attempts to refurbish the dining room. Was nice and clean. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

I have been to many sushi places with good and bad experiences but this place is so far the WORSE. I ordered delivery Teriyaki Salmon Roll 8 pieces in two packs and asked for two separate soy sauces as last time they only sent one for two orders. They PUT WATER ON SOY SAUCE to make it two separate. That was so ridiculous to cheat and trick your customer. And this order salmon was not fresh at all and we couldn't finish it and had to take MEDICINE for stomachache after. NEVER ORDERING FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN and recommend the same for you if you care about your health.

I’ve been going to this location for over a year now however I’ve decided to add a review since they’ve newly renovated their establishment. Gone are the old remnants of a prior fish n’ chip joint that Umi Sushi took over and in its place is a beautifully designed and decorated restaurant. A decorated restaurant is only as good as its food and its service and here is where Umi Sushi excels. Their sushi is delicious and full of flavour, as well as a visual treat. I recommend trying the house special roll and I won’t say any more than that. Since the renovation, Umi has gone All-You-Can-Eat for a modest price and the quality does not suffer. You can also go all in All-You-Can-Drink for an extra cost but I wasn’t that daring. However, while the food and service are excellent, the dining experience is not as immersive due to the bright lighting and the weird selection of a Top 40 music radio station for ambiance. Something softer in both departments would go a long way. Also noted are the construction/cleaning supplies in the hallway leading to the bathroom. Perhaps these are leftover from the renovation but cleaning this up and putting your focus towards renovating the bathrooms would elevate this restaurant to the next level. Lastly the menus need a look over as I found a few spelling mistakes. Attention to detail is important if you’re making sushi. Good luck! I wish you the best and I will be back!

Their food is as delicious as always. And they have renovated the dining environment, so we are more willing to sit down and eat. Looking forward to their buffet.

**Review for Umi Sushi in Whitby** I was in the neighborhood and craving Japanese food, so I decided to try Umi Sushi. The setup of the restaurant caught by surprise —it was NOT inviting and BELOW my expectations. The food itself was disappointing. Most dishes were overwhelmingly sour, which overpowered the flavors I usually expect in Japanese cuisine. The portions were generous, but unfortunately, the taste didn’t live up to the size. I’d rate the food a 2/10. On a brighter note, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience feel welcoming despite the food. Service deserves a solid 10/10. Overall, if you’re looking for good service and big portions, Umi Sushi might be worth a try, but I’d suggest they work on balancing the flavors to make the food more enjoyable.

I typically order from here and it’s usually great. However, my most recent order will likely be my last. I ordered a VEGETABLE dragon roll which I always do only special request I make is spicy mayo instead of white. I realized as I was eating it it tasted off but I wasn’t sure why I also noticed extra chewiness. Only to look at my next roll and discover there was meat mixed inside (I’m assuming fish/salmon) along with the tempura yam . I do not under any circumstances eat meat of any kind. My stomach is not use to consuming meat. This caused me to become sick and is also quite upsetting considering I choose not to eat meat for various reasons. Why was there meat hidden in my vegetable roll? This is not a mistake you can afford to make. I’m extremely upset about this. I should not have to inspect a vegetable only dish to ensure there isn’t meat in it. Smh

This place seemed like they were frustrated taking business for dine in. Made sitting very uncomfortable, no kindness. Looks like a family running their business and a child roaming around like it’s their home and didn’t want a customer to sit inside and eat. Unwelcoming experience made it horrible. Sushi didn’t even taste good. When asked for a cup of water they said they can’t give water that cup of tap water is $1!!! I have never seen somewhere this cheap over water. Will not come again and be treated like I did something wrong for dining in. I guess they only want take out business with the attitude they show. I didn’t say anything to them but will express my experience here. I did let them know about water which my daughter really wanted because she accidentally ate ginger and found spicy. Very unfortunate experience. Will not recommend to anyone I know. Also served in a paper plate to dine in when I’ve seen others be served in regular plates.
