The sushi was delicious! Both the Dragon Roll and Booty Tempura Roll werena delight to the senses. Unfortunately, the Grilled Unagi Teriyaki Bowl my girlfriend had was disappointing. The Grilled Unagi, despite being delicious, was riddled with bones that ruined not only the texture but the experience. Although the bones are safe for consumption it was unpleasant. Finally, the restaurant was cozy. We arrived 10 minute's after their 4:30pm dining hour and it was a full house. Our food took nearly an hour to arrive at our table just before we were going to flip a coin to determine if we should leave. Although the rolls were phenomenal after waiting for so long I finished my roll within 5 minutes and although I was still hungry we decided not to order desert or anything else out of fear of the wait time. A 30 minute wait time I feel is acceptable but an hour is too much for so little food. We shall return but with deep consideration and definitely staying away from the grilled Unagi.

Of all the sushi places downtown (and there are quite a few), this is hands down the best for rolls and fish. Wait was a little long for food, but worth it. Will be back.

The service and food was great! I was hungry and the sushimi hit the spot! If I lived in Fresno, I would be back.

This is our very favorite sushi spot in Fresno and beyond! Sam is so fun and always makes us feel special and cared for. Our favorites are the Ling Ling special and the spoons. If the weather is nice I recommend enjoying them on the patio.

Love coming here defintely one of my favorite sushi spots. There hasn't been one thing on the menu that I haven't liked so far. The customer service is always good and it does get packed often so the wait can be long sometimes. It's a small place but when the weather is nice sitting outside is always a nice option. My favorite roll is an off the menu item called the Christian roll. Definitely a must try!

The Fresno food scene has upped their game! Umi is on the level of a really fresh and fun sushi spot in LA... it's possibly better. Growing up here, there were never any options in the Cv, but it's been really surprising and Umi had me licking my plate. Will be back!
Love the food and service! Never had a bad meal from them! Great with pickup orders also! Highly recommend their sushi is always fresh.

work nearby and started craving noodles and soup so I got the udon chicken soup and it was absolutely delicious. Warmed me up on a cold day, couldn't even finish it in one sitting. It had so many vegetable and it was just perfect all around. this place is always busy but the staff is so great and attentive!

Umi sushi is a great Japanese place in downtown Fresno. I enjoy getting their sushi but there are some better spots in town. They aren't very traditional in the sense but they make things work very well. I will say that their teriyaki bentos are fantastic in both flavor and value. The service has always been quick and they seem to have a lot of regulars. The restaurant is nice and clean; they really have an island vibe going on as it feels very Hawaiian!
