umi japanese cuisine & bar

Very quaint and quiet place. The food came out fast and was delicious. The outside seems a bit sketchy but don’t let that deter you, we took a chance on going in because of another reviewer and I’m so glad we did! Definitely a nice little sushi spot.

Chicken hibachi was a little dry and I wasn't a fan of the fried rice. My salad was much larger than most places which was nice.

I usually never leave reviews however I am very displeased with the way I was treated this evening when ordering take out from Umi Japanese In Somerdale NJ on Wednesday April 29th, 2020. When calling I ordered some sushi and because my girlfriend doesn’t eat seafood she decided on the Scallop & N.Y. Steak combination that costs $23.95 and was planning on giving me the scallops. The combination comes with 2 pieces of shrimp as advertised on the picture directly from the website. Once I stated that I would like the scallop and NY Steak combo I asked if it came with fried rice and then if I could replace the 2 pieces of shrimp with 2 pieces of the EBI shrimp from the Sushi or Shashimi section #7 EBI (Shrimp) for $2.25 which the lady that took my order said “No we do not have that shrimp.” I

I've heard nothing but great things about Umi but I've now been here twice and it was just okay. I've been in the habit of getting seafood soup lately everywhere I go and this was my least favorite yet. I also ordered Amaebi sushi (sweet shrimp) and only got one piece when all other nigiri sushi is two pieces for the price so I'm confused by that. The decor and atmosphere leaves a little to be desired as well. Anyway, based on my two visits, it was okay 3/5 stars.

Vicki was amazing! She really took care of our table of 14 (6 kids). The food is wonderful. We will be back!
