My finance and I adore this place. Normally, when I see so many things on the menu I start doubting the quality and taste of individual dishes. However, everything we tried here was absolutely delicious. Their staff is so kind and lovely as well. Highly recommend!

Sashimi is not good enough to pay as menu bur noodle was good.

I ordered a Sashimi York and a Salmon, Tuna & Yellowtail naruto roll. It was fresh. I didn't want mackerel so they accommodated me by substituting for another fish. Service was excellent and very courteous. Will order out or dine here again!

what a hidden gem!!!!!!! This place is not only peaceful, delicious, and FAST, but the staff are the sweetest people! I came here on Christmas eve because all of my normal spots were closed. When I walked in I was skeptical but I was very quickly won over by the efficiency and deliciousness of this place. I cannot recommend this spot enough!! Will definantly be coming back. The salmon avo rolls, rock shrimp tempura and house salad were all to DIE for. Prices are reasonable but overall it's the perfect spot to escape holiday stress!! 100/10 recommend

Came here for happy hour until 6PM. The staff was so nice and the food was great. The fish felt so fresh and felt like it was made when ordered. Would highly recommend.

The owner of UME is one of the genuinely kindest and most lovely human beings. My kid hangs out with her and her children every time we dine in. Cant recommend more

I really enjoyed the veggie rolls I had here. They have a nice selection of different vegetable rolls, ranging from $7-$8 each. I do really like that the rolls have a lot of "filling, and less rice- see pictures. I think it is hard to find a place that does that and usually it is loaded with more rice and less filling. I was full satisfied after my meal of 3 yummy veggie rolls. The wasabi here packs a punch- spicy with just a smidge, which indicates to me they use good quality wasabi. Service was friendly and fast. Restaurant was full, but not crazy busy on a Saturday night. Got a seat for 2 right away. Restaurant decor was simple but still nice. I think probably seats ~20 or so in the whole restaurant? As for their other food, they have the typical selection of standard rolls, special rolls and sashimi. I cannot speak to the quality of the fish since I did not eat here. I would return the next time my sushi craving hits! A good place for a casual dinner that hits the spot!

I’m so happy to have found a replacement for my local sushi place that closed. The sushi was so fresh and delicious and the service was wonderful and attentive. The prices are also fair and better value than some of the other sushi restaurants nearby. Also do not be deterred by the varied menu which features other food in addition to sushi. Everything was delicious.
