Excellent food and service! My husband got the premium omakase and I got the Riverstone rolls with coconut shrimp as appetizer. Our toddler loved the coconut shrimp. Then for dessert we got green tea panna cotta. My husband got their cocktails and they were also so delicious! The music and the vibes were very chill and relaxing. So glad to have this restaurant in our neighborhood!

Umami Sushi is our favorite sushi spot in Sugar Land! It’s never overly crowded, which makes for a relaxed dining experience, and the staff is always incredibly friendly. The restaurant is clean (including the restroom, which I always notice), and the food is consistently great. The Twilight Roll is our go-to and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Delicious and great service. I came here for the first time during happy hour. I recommend the yuzu kamikaze with a salt rim. The mussels are soft and flavorful. I also had the half umami and half cali roll. I like that they have half options. Happy hour is Monday-saturday 11am- 3pm and 4:30-6pm. Sundays are 3:30-6pm.
