Great sushi! This is one of my go to take out sushi places on the upper east side. Their poke bowl happens to be really good and a great value and their rolls and sushi are also excellent. The fish is fresh and the service is great too. Would highly recommend for dine in or take out

I love this place, its service and especially its food. You can stop by for your lunch either there or to take away.

Se lo recomiendo también a mi gente hispana 👍

AVOID this place.

Food is average. But the staff is CHEATING on tourists. Mechanism:

1. You order, say, 10 nigiri and sashimi. Waitress/owner confirms she correctly remembered all the details of the complicated order.

2. The dinner arrives but with LESS items that you ordered. Something seems off but not that much so you are not sure.

3. The bill arrives and somehow the full order is there. Exactly what you ordered but NOT what you received.

In my case the difference was like 1 nigiri and 1 sashimi off like 10 items that I ordered altogether. So they try to cheat you on like 20% of the order.

If you're in the Upper East Side and craving sushi, Ume Sushi is a must-visit. This cozy spot serves up an impressive variety of fresh sushi, sashimi, mouthwatering appetizers and many more .

Their lunch specials are a steal – perfect for a midday sushi fix. Don’t miss the bento boxes (they’re amazing), the tuna avocado salad and yellowtail sashimi are seriously delicious.

Friendly service, affordable prices, and consistently fresh food make this one of the great sushi spots in the UES.

Couldn’t say better things about this place. Everything we had was amazing. Miso soup, amazing. Sushi, Sashimi, & Rolls, delicious. Ginger, soy sauce, spicy mayo, great. Dessert (tempura ice cream), insane. Water, service, & ambiance, incredible. Will be returning, very solid local sushi spot.

This is the worst dine-in sushi I've had in the neighborhood. The price doesn't match up with the quality.

The fish ranged from mediocre to awful. Some pieces just did not seem fresh, some were weird cuts, and some were oddly dry. Some pieces were barely thawed, and some were way too room temperature. Many of them you could just tell were lower quality from the color, especially the tuna.

The last piece I ate was so off that it made me stop eating the rest of plate of sushi. It left a bad taste in my mouth for an hour.

I can't believe how many positive reviews are here. You know it's never a good sign when the sushi place also has Pad Thai on the menu.

My friends and I had dinner here last night and we loved it. The staff was kind and attentive and the restaurant was clean and cozy. We ordered edamame and rock shrimp, as well as miso and wonton soup for starters which were all great. Then we all ordered some of their special rolls including the Godzilla, pink lady and Osaka rolls and they were all delicious and fresh! We also had some deserts including their lava cake and green tea ice cream which were also fresh and tasty. I will definitely be back when I’m in the neighborhood again.

Dined in for dinner and ordered the spicy girl roll, which stood out as intriguing and fresh. It has an interesting mix of ingredients contributing to its memorable flavor including jalapeño, cilantro, tokibo, lemon, and a combination of classic sushi fish including yellowtail. I loved it!
