Umi Sushi & Sake

I live close to Umi so I go in a few times a week for the Umi Special. My family and I go in at least once a month and my kids LOVE sushi! When I take them, its definitely not a cheap dinner. we spend just under $200. I order the same thing every time for the special. This last time I went in the chef refused to make the change I always ask for. I'm just not a fan of spicy tuna so I ask to switch out the spicy tuna for spicy crab. this one particular chef just wouldn't do it. That's fine, but I feel like it should be equal across the board. It's not right as a loyal customer I have been ordering the same thing for SO LONG, and then one guy just didn't feel like doing it. A little disappointing but oh well. I came to Jin instead :)

Great service
Great food

I have been coming here for years now, I am pregnant now and I always get my salmon cooked inside of my sushi as I can not eat raw sushi, and it’s always been honored and given to me that way. I went today 7-16-25 and they said they couldn’t cook the salmon inside of the sushi for me and gave me alternative options to choose from. The waitress told me that the chef today did not want to do it…. How do they have a choice to do it or not if that’s how the customer wants it….? Not satisfied and will not be coming back anymore

Best sushi place in Bakersfield , it is as simple as that. I am very picky on my sushi and this is the only sushi place in town I will ever go to now. The other sushi places do not even compare to this.

We were the only people there and asked to sit outside because I knew it would be better for my autistic son and customer was not always right they did not let us. Literally the only people there. Their appetizers are frozen not freshly made. I'm pretty sure it's the same shrimp temporary you can get at Costco. In the past I've always enjoyed their sushi rolls those are good and fresh. I just thought this service could have been more accommodating

I have always come here and it's always been great. Tonight was totally the opposite. I get it that it is valentines day. But I called to make a take out order. Had me on hold. For 10 min. Hung up and decided to go to the restaurant. The place was busy but took almost 10 min for someone to take my order and said it would be at least 30 min. I come bakc 50 mi. Later and it is worse. No organization. Waited almost 30 min and my order had been sitting there since I arrived.. No one asked if I had a tkae out order. To top it all off I get home, all the way in the north west of Bakersfield and my edemame was not in the bag. Very disappointed. Don't know if I will go back.

Was a great place but threw out our order when we found hair inside the spicy crab roll.
