Went to celebrate my birthday and it was totally worth it!! Super fresh and great quality pieces! Will definitely be coming back soon! I was getting a little uncomfortable at the end due to the sitting but it’s definitely a nice experience and worth it. My only complaint is they don’t give you enough sheets of seaweed for each piece. They charge you a little extra when you order more….. but still ok and worth it at the end of the day. RUN don’t WALK

Suchhhhh a cute spot. My sister brought me here and it’s such a zen and peaceful place. The menu is very special and experiential. You basically get to make your own sushi with the rice and seaweed so it’s very hands-on and fun. The waiters were very friendly, the only downside is there’s a limited time per reservation so it was a tiny bit stressful cuz we spent too much time taking photos but the overall experience is wonderful.

We got reservations for the garden and it was a great experience. The service, food and atmosphere justified the price tag. We would go back again.

The food and the atmosphere here are 100/10 but they are NOTHING compared to the service!! Sylvia was the BEST. She really took care of us and made us feel so special. We had so many issues with restaurants in manhattan and Sylvia really came in and turned our whole trip around. Thank you for everything!!!

Amazing experience, beautiful space, served alongside quality service. A great date night spot ?
Thank you Ume team, we cannot wait to visit again ?
First time here and it was amazing!! First - the ambiance is nice. It’s very cute inside, you take your shoes off and sit on cushions on the ground. It feels very calm and relaxed. Second - the fish is really fresh and the concept is fun. It was cool to experiment with the different salts and make our own handrolls. Every piece was delicious. You also get soup, and they have good drink options as well. Third - great service! Our server checked on us multiple times. He was helpful regarding the menu. He even asked if we were celebrating something special and brought a dessert with a candle! We will definitely be back and I can’t recommend this place more.

Great ambiance and service! Omakase was great value.
Food was superb. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and the space was very clean and the atmosphere was great. We didn't get to sit in the garden area but the rest of the space was awesome. You will be sitting on the floor during your visit so be prepared for that.
The place is beautiful from the lighting to the decoration. The food is really good quality and came pretty fast. The negitori though has too much emphasized on the seaweed crush making it harder to taste the fish. The bowl was absolutely delusion. I got blown away by the meat, you can smell the aroma in every bite!! Honestly a really good restaurant and worth the price.

Atmosphere and service was 5 stars but for $78 before tax and top, the “omakase” / sushi was forgettable. Fish did not taste fresh and quality was average, maybe even below average. Can easily find another omakase for the same price point if not less at other omakase spots in Manhattan.

Ume is a fun unique sushi experience. For $78, the price is actually pretty good considering you get 12 pieces of sushi.
We made a same day reservation for late afternoon. When you enter, you ring the doorbell to be greeted and you wash your hands and take your shoes off to enter the space. We opted to sit in the dining room instead of the garden (it was so hot that day) but both spaces were beautiful. Seating is on the floor so just be aware if you have any issues with that.
We ordered their famous sushi set, which came with 12 pieces of fish and 9 different seasoning combinations. You also get rice, seaweed, and soup. You can choose to create your own hand rolls or eat the fish in one bite. The descriptions are all on the menu so I won’t go into detail here, but my favorites were the zuke and toro for the fish and the yuzu salt and fresh wasabi for the seasoning. The menu also provides suggestions of what to eat the seasonings with, but of course you are free to experiment with what you prefer most. It is definitely a unique experience and the plating is picture worthy.
We were also celebrating an anniversary so they gave us a scoop of ice cream to celebrate!
Overall, would recommend for a fun sushi date!

Sushi was amazing…every piece literally melted in your mouth. I loved the different variety of ways you can eat each piece with different salts. My friend and I were sad after we finished the last one. Would definitely go again on a special occasion!

Had a wonderful time here. This is probably better than other omakase places.
