“The menu here is large and varied! So many options, including baked rolls. The shrimp tempura in the Lucky Cat roll was delicious - I recommend it. Also get the sushi dip, it comes with fried crispy wonton chips and jalapeno sauce! Everything was nice and fresh. Beautiful presentation. Portions are generous and prices are agreeable. Friendly service in a nice and clean environment. I definitely recommend!“

“Cozy atmosphere, service was on-point, food was fantastic, and the menu was simple yet well planned. Not the crazy piled-high sushi mounds like other places that mask the true flavor.“

“I don’t know why it took us so long to eat here but we stopped by today after going to Sallys. I got the sushi special. It was really yummy! Very fresh tasting nigiri. It came with miso soup, and house salad. It was so much food! My girlfriend got the surf and turf with special roll. Her yakisoba was very tasty. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great food! We tried the Godzilla Roll (it was so huge), Spicy Chicken Karaage, and Eel Nigiri and everything was super fresh and delicious. Portions were huge and we were able to take some home for leftovers.“

“Our favorite place now! My order: Unagi (nigiri), Vegetable Tempura, Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special. Dad's oder: Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special and 5 order of maguro to go. The unagi was the best i have had in over 10 years. The tempura was light, crunchy and flavorful. My Dad is very particular about food and I am known to order the same item over and over. I have been trying different things and pleased with each one here. Everything was as good as it could possibly be. So happy!“

“Fantastic quality of teriyaki, sushi, and soup; quite literally some of the best teriyaki we've had in Tacoma and elsewhere. Staff is extremely polite and provides fast and accurate service. The atmosphere is very calm and pretty, and the bathroom was clean and very nice. Will be visiting here constantly!
Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming and understanding of our little one and his want to bounce on the booth cushions.“

“First time trying this place was a couple weeks ago and I have to say I’ve been missing out. Some of the best sushi I have had. I love the “Alaska & Las Vegas” rolls. They do get busy, but if you call head you shouldn’t have a wait time.
Kid-friendliness: Saw lots of families eater there every time I went in.“

“Very delicious food. The amount of food you get for the price is enormous! You order an egg drop soup expecting a small bowl and it's a giant decorated bowl as big as a family salad bowl! And the family combination is on a tray as big as half the table! Was stuffed and had lots to take home, absolutely recommended“

“Hubby was craving sushi, so stopped and ordered a Surprise roll for him, a long with a Tempura California roll. I ordered two Philadelphia rolls for myself and a chicken teriyaki lunch. The sushi was delicious and perfect. The chicken teriyaki lunch was wrong. It had spicy chicken and two servings of rice. I was really looking forward to the salad. Otherwise, definitely going back. Just double checking the order before leaving.“

“This place is really good, I love sushi and the conveyor belt is usually full! It seems to take a minute though when you order something from the “kitchen,” like an order of salmon sashimi w/o the rice under it, I can see the chefs making stuff for the belt for ten minutes before they seem to acknowledge that someone is waiting for something else? But overall great place! Parking is a little tricky but that’s not their fault“

“My wife and I come here every now and then. The service is nice, the food is good, and we always leave with leftovers. Their portion sizes are enormous, and I say that as some who eats a lot of food. I will typically order an entree and a side and I can't finish both at the restaurant.
Their sushi is a little more expensive than most Japanese restaurants. But they do seem to be high quality.
Kid-friendliness: They are kid friendly.“

“Unassuming place with really fresh sushi. Don’t expect a fancy ambiance, but if you just want good quality fresh sushi this is the place to go. On par with some of the best places in Seattle in terms of quality of ingredients.
This is the place to go if you prefer nigiri and sashimi when you order.
The rolls are good too but nothing extraordinary.“

“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.“

“This place is wonderful. I called ahead and let them know I would be placing a large order for my work. They were super accommodating, and friendly. They took my order promptly when I arrived, were polite, and helpful. The food is great, and they helped me carry all 13 meals to my car. They really are a great spot to go to eat, dine in or carry out. I will continue doing business here, as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!“

“Been a long time since I could enjoy teriyaki and sushi. New owners previously ran a high end restaurant and bring that same experience here. Inside is newly renovated and continuing to change. New owner is a sushi chef and will be adding more variety in the near future with new menus. Juicy tender chicken with proper white fluffy rice, great chow mein, beef fried rice was perfect, egg drop soup broth was great. like to eat here atleast twice a week. there are definitely gluten free options if you go through the menu. they are great people and accomodating to those also with physical or mental handicap and or disabilities.
Dietary restrictions: a lot of gluten free options, may not be for celiac
Parking: Parking on both sides, you can loop around the back
Kid-friendliness: kid and family friendly, also very accomodating to those with physical or mental handicap and or disabilities

“We always have such a great experience here!
The staff is very kind and attentive, and are patient with my kids.
The servings here are very generous! Usually we are taking part of it home for the next day.
My son is a little more particular and they have always made his chicken katsu exactly how he likes it, and every time I've gotten sushi it was a hit!
This is also one of our favorite places for holidays because they are so generous celebrating birthdays!“

“I always pre order for pickup. Food is always ready on time, hot and huge portions. Kinda spendy, with a bottled drink about 20$ I'm fine with it because I can never finish my meal in the first sitting so it ends up as a good snack later in the day.
General tso's chicken, sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken and orange chicken so far and always delicious.“

“Loved the food! On our first trip, we had one of the suchi options, Chulichi shrimp, the ceviche trio, and mango margaritas. All of them were excellent, subtly spiced, and simply delicious. Yes, the music was a bit loud but it was manageable and did not prevent discussion at the table. Our waitress Clarita and bus-person David provided excellent recommendations and great service. We will definitely go back and bring more friends this time!“

“Been coming here for years! Disappointed the last time I was in Tacoma that it was closed. Always great service, and although the portions may be small….. the food is great. Don’t go if you’re on a budget, but if you’re looking to splurge on a great meal with a creative spoon on a lot of sushi rolls, this is your place.“

“This was my first time here and it will not be my last! I ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice and a salad. It was delivered to me hot and fresh. The teriyaki sauce was delicious paired with the slightly chard chicken, which I like. The salad was crisp and the dressing was delicious. The man that waited on me was very friendly and courteous.“

“One of my favorites spots in the South Hill mall! Very generous portion sizes and the pricing is extremely reasonable. The chicken teriyaki and shrimp with lo-mein are my go-tos... If you're really hungry the trio is very satisfying too.
I would say the sushi is average (wouldn't recommend sushi in a mall in general) so stick to the teriyaki!“

“I had an amazing experience at Umami Bento! The service was outstanding, with a friendly and attentive staff that made sure every detail was perfect. The sushi was the best I’ve had in the United States - fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch sushi and excellent service!“
