Caleb was phenomenal. Unobtrusive, but still very present. If you want to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, come early. Coursing was perfect after we asked to slow it down. Value has slightly declined, but Umi will always be a favorite in Atlanta. A5 Wagyu Roll was a complete miss this time, but everything else was phenomenal. The Otoro Caviar is a must try!

I have celiac disease and found this restaurant through my “Find me Gluten Free” app. To say this was great sushi would be an understatement! The sushi was melt in your mouth fantastic! The serve was superb from the host to waitress to waitstaff, everyone was so accommodating and friendly. When we return to Atlanta we will definitely be back. This establishment deserves more than 5 stars! Thank you so much for a fantastic dinner!

Great overall experience. Sushi was fresh and met expectations. It wasn't very busy that evening and service was friendly and prompt. Definitely a whiskey bar type atmosphere with dim lighting, which is not a bad thing. Prices are what I'd expect for the locale. Otoro carpaccio was probably the highlight of the dishes ordered.
