Many reviews mention the attitudes of the waitresses... all true about the negative, dismissive attitudes. No low sodium soy sauce available. Sushi rolls were very small and not as the employee described. Asparagus was too hard to have been served and the tempura in the roll was over cooked.

We were planning to spend our Anniversary weekend in Hickory, so like always, I searched on Yelp…read morefor the best restaurants & reading the reviews on Umi, had my attention! I called & l/m 5 days ahead & the owner clearly states what times are available each day that week since they only have 5 tables. The owner called me back within an hour & confirmed our reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner & she immediately wished us a Happy Anniversary & had 2 roses in a vase for us to keep. Very romantic & quiet setting. The Bibb salad with the soy & Yuzu dressing was delicious & so fresh! We had the smoked salmon roll, steamed lobster roll & tuna tataki and all were delicious! This husband & wife team restaurant is a hidden gem (it's tucked in a plaza behind a gas station, so at night, it may be easy to miss!). If you're a sushi lover & will be in Hickory, call in advance & make your reservation! We are already looking forward to our next visit in the spring when our daughter's lacrosse team plays LR!

I enjoy the rich sugary sauce because it gives it depth and the lime makes it. The chicken is a must! Green curry - YES! So fresh omg. This is a home run and some of the best curry I've had. This is why we come! This is our third time here and we always make a point to stop when we're in town!

I asked them why cause I wanted to eat my food hot they said to prove I didn't get what I ordered. Of course I didn't get it, did you put the wonton in the bag No. So you should have an extra order there somewhere. You gave me the sauce but no wonton. I asked to speak with a manager then was told there manager was to busy to handle the issue. I will not be returning to this restaurant. I will be taking my business to Tosakas in Newton.
