We sat at the first table at the restaurant and from our seats we could see the chefs making the food. Everything is freshly made and it taste delicious. It is the best sushi and most fresh sushi that we have tasted.

Having spent a long day sightseeing we were looking for a quick bite without a reservation on a Friday night. I found this place using the TripAdvisor app and thought the reviews looked good. We had an excellent meal of very fresh tastig sushi rolls, sashimi & tempura. The food and drinks were very reasonably priced and the service was... More

Whenever I have to travel to New York for work, on my first day of arrival I have an early sushi dinner at Umi Sushi. I am never disappointed. Today I had miso soup, Vitamin C roll and Umi roll. A bit too much, but I can't help it, it's so good. The place doesn't look fancy but the food... More

With the high cost of everything in NYC we were thrilled to find an affordable and excellent sushi restaurant. My whole family loves sushi and the kids said this was their favorite meal in the city. We tried some of their specialty rolls and our usual choices, but the Panda roll was by far our favorite. Our waiter suggested it... More

We tried the place since it was next to our hotel. I have to say we were surprise with the size of the rolls and the quality of the food. Service is a plus, too. Highly recommend the place if visiting NYC and are in the Midtown area

We visited Umi Sushi in July 2012. We had an order of various pieces of nigiri sushi, maki roll sushi and the best, sashimi. Before that we had a miso soup. The restaurant is owned by Chinese people, but stil has the same taste as Japan. The prices are very good for the location (Midtown East).

Went in for lunch, had the miso soup which had different and better textured seaweed than other places around the neighborhood. Followed with seaweed salad, nicely touched with thin slices of cucumber, both fresh, really tasty seaweed. Finished with the spider web (soft shell crab roll), very tasty and done differently than the usual sushi places (topped with spicy tuna).... More
