Umi Japanese Cuisine

Totally obsessed with UMI. Such a delectable food experience and wonderful service

The service at this restaurant was very slow and the quality of the sushi was mediocre.

Really cool authentic place! Food was AMAZING and service was really good, very friendly waitress. Highly recommend.

Food was nice flavour wise but ingredients lacked freshness particularly the seaweed which was quite chewy. Service was slow and not so friendly.

Dived in here on my way to a gig, luckily they managed to squeeze us in, and I'm very glad they did. Fantastic food, great atmosphere. A genuine gem, so good I've already booked to go back.

I was extremely disappointed with the food at this restaurant. I ordered the eel bowl as a main course for nearly £18, but was served only two thin slices of eel. The gyoza tasted like they were made from frozen, packaged food, for which I was charged almost £7. It felt like a complete rip off and I couldn't understand how they justified their prices.

Absolutely mind blowing sushi, at incredibly reasonable prices. The staff, decor, service and food was all top notch, couldn't fault any of it. We had 3 of the sushi rolls, and one of the maki sets. All the sushi was super fresh and extremely tasty there were also some very unique combinations (the unagi and purple sweet potato roll was our favourite). Would highly recommend to anyone looking for sushi in Edinburgh, we will certainly be coming back if we're in the city again.

UMI in Edinburgh is one of my top choices for sushi dining. After reading the rave reviews and being intrigued by their unique sushi options, my companions and I decided to give it a try. We were not let down in the slightest. The sushi was absolutely delicious and definitely worth the cost. Our favorite dish was the Unagi Ube Roll, but everything we ordered was superb. The staff members were attentive and friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and well-maintained.

We were going to an event nearby and randomly walked past Umi and the menu looked nice from the outside. Menu was quite reasonable for sushi. We had the truffle ramen, salmon panko futomaki and avocado maki. All were delicious and we really enjoyed them. The ramen came very quickly too. Also the tables were quite unique and I think it would be nice to sit in one of the booths. One thing to note is that the food wasn’t served all at the same time. We didn’t mind this but just something to think about if that sort of thing bothers you.
