Umami BBQ Sushi is the bomb!! I?m so happy right now. The Happy Hour prices are on point. The staff are friendly. As soon as I... walked in I was greeted with the most happiest hostess. Then I sat down at the sushi bar and Kai delivered my food with a smile.He serenaded us at the sushi bar and it was fun and entertaining. The food was divine. Check out the photos. I ordered theFirecracker and Las Vegas roll, calamari and shrimp tempura. The sushi bar gave me a complimentary cucumber salad to start with.I?ll definitely be back! Oh yea ? I gotta give a shout out to my bartender, Stephanie ? my Umami Mule was perfect!! Thank you tothe hostess, Krysta for being so gracious and happy when I walked in. Read more

Awesome place with very cool interior decor and amazing service and food. Kelsey was my server/bartender and she was as kind and... personable a server as I?ve had. Her recommendations on the menu were not only spot on, but insanely delicious. I started withthe soft shell crab which was insanely tender and juicy. Full of flavor. Kelsey then helped me decide on the lollipop rice lessroll, the scallop tempura roll and the escolar sashimi. Her best recommendation of the night was the FRESH WASABI. Omg Ive neverhad fresh wasabi and now I don?t know how I?ll ever go back from it. The lollipop roll was spicy, tender, and the crab saladadded a nice flavor to it. Paired with fresh wasabi it had a delicious flavor profile. The escolar was tender, flavorful, andmelted in my mouth. Some of the best escolar I?ve had, hands down. Could?ve eaten 20 more pieces of it it was so good. Thescallop tempura roll was a nice change of pace. The friend scallop pieces come stop the California roll, the scallop pieces arefriend to a crispy golden brown but the scallops inside are moist, tender and delicious. Really the food is delicious, theatmosphere is incredible but the service, Kelsey in particular, is fantastic. Highly recommend if you?re in the area and lookingfor some good eats! Read more
Nice atmosphere, friendly service & a great menu variety. We found the food to be over priced & over rated. For the price, we... expected the food to be "wow" not "meh". Read more
Super amazing experience with great music and atmosphere. Food was wonderful and sushi was fresh and made with design in mind of... how the flavors would combine. Looking forward to more times here while I'm in town from Denver. Read more
Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were beyond good. My boyfriend had been coming here before me after work for a... couple of weeks and had told one of the waitresses that he was planning on bringing me there when my schedule allowed it, sowhen I was finally able to go she came up and was glad to see he finally brought me. I thought it was great that she remembered.And the bartender took the time to explain to one of our friends who had never had sushi the differences and to find the perfectsushi for him. Then one of the other bartenders that wasn't even assigned to us went out of his way to talk with us and answerquestions we had about the difference between soju and sake and just general questions we had about some Asian foods and whereto shop for them in Arizona. This quickly became my favorite place to get sushi. While we didn't try any of the other food,there is a wide variety of stuff for non sushi eaters too. Read more
Terrible management, untrained staff, food was pretty good but rolls are underwhelming for the price... Staff was... untrained/unaware of daily fish special or prices, lots of menu items were no longer available due to new management and nolonger doing Korean bbq.... I was charged 20$ for two pieces of toro ordered a 24$ sashimi salad and it came with 4 pieces oftoro, 4 tuna, 4 salmon... Was ripped off and not disclosed the special 20$ toro was included in the salad, it was also almostuneditable due to the fact it was loaded with lemon slices and sashino peppers everywhere had to pick around everything....Miscommunication all around and nothing was done about it 100$ for 2 apps 1 roll and a salad. Avoid better sushi places outthere.. Read more
