Reviews for Umi in San Francisco, CA
So disappointing. This place has been a neighborhood staple for many years - I've been going here for somewhere around 20... years... like everything, though - it seems it was disrupted by the pandemic, so when we got parking on 18th Street (amazing) wedecided to pop in and enjoy some nice Japanese food from a reliable vendor. Didn't turn out that way AT ALL. The rollswere... average at best. I ordered a bento box - the teriyaki chicken was lightly coated with a syrupy sauce that tastednothing at all like teriyaki - and what it DID taste like was pretty nasty. The tempura vegetables looked great, though - so Idove right in after decided to skip the chicken. First piece: sweet potato. I hate sweet potato. 2nd piece: sweet potato 3rdpiece: sweet potato... (seeing a pattern here?) I got all the way to the 10th (and last) piece before I got something thatwasn't sweet potato. Couldn't tell you what it was, though. Not the place that's been there for years - and won't be goingback. $80 for a bowl of rice, some miso soup and some very average rolls. Shameful. Read more
Best miso soup ever. Wow. Got the bento box with teriyaki chicken and avocado/cucumber rolls bc that's what I was craving, but... I look forward to returning with others and exploring the fabulous menu further. Read more
Great & simple food, sweet staff! The miso eggplant is out of this world! Thanks for a great meal, Umi!
incredible quality sushi and one of the best Miso Soups I?ve had in a long time!
High quality fish, fast service and friendly staff. The agedashi tofu was warm and had the right texture balance. Would come... back here for lunch! Read more

Outstanding sushi at a neighborhood place. Casual setting with fair price tags. Good sake menu. What else? (Go for the deluxe... sashimi if they have scallops, it was really good ????) Read more
