This is the best of the best sushi spot in LA, all crudos are super amazing, Yellowtails Yuza and Halibut Ume are the thing you must try.

We could not find 1 pairs of Oraking salmon and Toro nigiri with this reasonable price

All set meals are the good combinations of small cucumbers salad, crudos plate, nigiri and hand roll set.

I really recommend this place, even the set menu could not make a substation but we ordered the Alacart instead. We do understand the restaurant everage the food cost for the set menu.

If you have allergies problem, we do recommend the A Lacare, the price just only a few dollars difference.

All staff are friendly, and we could feel they made the food with love and passion.

Love UmiAi,

Sheng knew everything there was to know and answered all question with such kindness made the experience amazing! Food was delicious as well just the cherry on top!

I normally don’t write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my family’s recent experience. My family went last night, Sunday 9/14, at 7:30pm. They have serious shellfish allergy in the family, so when ordering we politely asked if shellfish items could be substituted with fish. On a prior visit, the restaurant accommodated this without issue, which is why we returned.

This time, however, not only did the staff refuse our request, but they were dismissive and rude. A kitchen worker even came out into the dining area, raised their voice, and lectured us in front of other customers, telling us this would be the “last time” they’d make any substitution. This was both unprofessional and humiliating.

We understand restaurants may have policies about substitutions, but consistency and basic courtesy matter. Food allergies are a serious issue, and it would have been much more appropriate to explain the policy respectfully rather than making a scene. Sadly, after this experience, they won’t be returning.

I went here yesterday for lunch and it was a lovely experience. I ordered the 4 roll packaged item and their new halibut nigiri. Our server was very kind and patient when offering recommendations. We trusted her, and she was spot on. The sushi was so fresh and flavorful. They served items one at at time and added a new item after you finished the previous item. The service was stellar. I woke up still thinking about how good it was. I highly recommend this place.

Very good place, really delicious food!

I went for the first time last night, and it was such a great experience that I made a point to add a review. The moment we walked in, everyone was so friendly! Not over the top, just genuine awesome people. I love the vibe/ambience - a nice night out but also just casual enough. And the food, delish!! I love watching someone make my roll too. I never liked hand rolls, but when I tried a hand roll here, I needed to order a few more, so good. Everyone was attentive and food came out quickly. Anahi was one of my servers and she was the best! Shane was a wonderful presence as well, and made us excited to return. Can’t wait to go back!

Wow, we came to this restaurant and were completely blown away. Our sever Shelby was so kind and had great recommendations. The Yellowtail Yuzu was phenomenal, a great recommendation from Shelby. I am of the opinion that service is what makes a restaurant great. We had so many questions and all were answered to our satisfaction.
