Sushi Umi Herndon

Came because Sushi Umi was nearby and had great reviews — and wow, it did not disappoint. My experience wasn’t just good, it was amazing. I was genuinely blown away by the quality of the fish, the attention to detail, and the presentation of every dish. If you’re a sushi lover anywhere in the NOVA area, Sushi Umi is an absolute must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back. 🍣🔥

One of the best sushi restaurants in Northern Virginia. I have visited this restaurant three times and every time I have been impressed with the food, display and atmosphere. They have options to purchase mixed rolls for two, three and four people and it is the best to just try a wide variety of rolls. Each roll is made with unique flavors it is like an explosion of flavors. Absolutely recommend this restaurant.

If you're looking for a top notch sushi experience, this is the place! I was quickly greeted and sat at the bar. My questions were answered in great detail and really appreciate the recommendations. Every single peice was absolutely delightful. Can't wait till next time!

Good quality and high price. This is so far one of the three best Sushi house I have had (compared to the one I had in Lexington and the Zen Sushi at my home – see my other reviews). We ordered Kama (18), three rolls (18-20 per roll), regular sashimi (38ish), and a teriyaki beef (24ish, for my son only). The kama is lightly roasted in a very appropriate way. The skin is crunchy and the meat is very tender. Three rolls are all amazing (the best), Dragon, Umi, and Worldgate. The rice is good and thin but it is not loose, tightly accommodating all kinds of delicious staff like eel, salmon, etc. the source is sooooo good. My son also reported the teriyaki beef with rice is well made. The only complaint is the price. Compared to a similar quality I have had in other places, this places is in a

It was a late lunch and my first visit, so I tried their Omikase box. A little disappointed that two items were tempura, a horse mackerel (very interesting and tasty, but would've preferred as sashimi or nigiri) and the other was oyster, which I usually like but didn't care for the preparation on this. The other 4 items in the box were far better, topped with a decadent Toro belly. It wasn't a ton of food, but probably enough for most lunch eaters. They charge for hot tea. About $50 for the meal. As for vibe, decor was nice enough, clean and modern, Asian low-key music playing. Disappointing sushi prep bar, as it is solid, keeping you from seeing the meat or the preparation. I always prefer to watch the masters at work. Presentation was beautiful and hostess was delightful.
