Had to ask server to recommend for rolls that had scallops, no salmon since so many. Spicy is spicy! Hospitable service and attentive for how many people were in the restaurant. Possible opportunity for to hire a few more people to bus tables to alleviate the wait staff. Wait, for a table, was much longer than estimated. Over 1 hour for 4 people on a Friday. Very lively atmosphere (bench tables) and last call (for food) is 8:45 which put pressure on us since we joined waitlist at 6:45, got a table around 8:10 and first round of order didn't get the table until 8:30ish.

Matthew said I looked familiar, but since I didn't recall speaking with him I couldn't recognize anyone. I had my usual marylin monroll. It was just as delicious as before.

I come on special occasions and it's been a favorite with those not familiar with asian cuisine. Plenty of vegetable, fruits, seafood, meats and desserts available to pick from. You start with choosing your broth and ordering sides/drinks. Service can be hit or miss depending on how busy they are, Plenty of seating for everyone. Recently it seems Umi has been closed temporarily multiple times. Hoping they can figure out hours soon so I can return. The overall vibe of the place is very moody but not crazy dark, pricing is on the mid to high end for dinner but the meat choices are worth it.

The add ons for the soup are extensive so you can 100% customize your own bowl. What I see as a down side is that the tables since they have the spots for the hot soup, do not leave any extra room for anything else. Also, you can take leftovers, but you will be charged for extra. $6.99 if you want to take your soup home and then they price anything extra, like from the bar, on how much you get. So I wonder if you can get around this if you bring your own Tupperware.

This is our first sushi…read moreexperience since moving to ID from NorCal a year ago and it is on point with great sushi restaurants we've eaten at previously. We had Edamame, hamachi, octopus, Boise roll and Stanley roll, plus a bottle of Chardonnay! Our favorite was the Boise roll. All the fish is very fresh with no odor. The restaurant decor is modern and very well done and incorporates multiple elements including wood, fabric, glass and what appeared to be cement or stucco behind the sushi bar. The vibe was upbeat and fun. All the waitresses we encountered were super helpful and friendly. Restrooms were clean but there was no signage on the doors (there were two) which was a little confusing. Our comments or suggestions for improvement are 1. Check the soy sauce pitchers on the tables before seating a new party- ours was empty. 2. Bring or offer to bring ginger and wasabi if parties are ordering sushi; we had to ask for it. 3. A drop of wasabi the size of a garbanzo bean is not enough! Increase the size of the wasabi portion. 4. THE MENU PRINT! I'm attaching photos but we literally couldn't read it. Font size was 8 or smaller and in low light it was extremely hard to read even with our mobile phone light. We asked the waitress if there were reading glasses available and she said not yet but the owners had ordered some! We suspect you were trying to keep the menu to one page but take the plunge and make the font bigger and make it 2-3 pages! 5. Octopus dish- lightly seared but we felt it should've been cooked more? Maybe this was a different type of octopus than we've eaten before. 6.wine selection - great start but can you offer a few more Chardonnay selections? There was one by the glass and a second selection by the bottle. Note: menu price on the bottle was $145.00 and when our bill came we noted it was charged at $155,00, so we asked our waitress to adjust this, which she did. 7. Sushi rolls: can you offer more selections with seared tuna? It's such a great fish for rolls and we would love more choices that contain tuna. 8. The 3% charge to use a credit card for the bill - we understand you pay a fee to process credit cards, but it would be good to post this info on your website so customers can bring cash if they don't want to pay the fee. We would've paid in cash if we had known. We thoroughly enjoyed our Raibu experience and will be back. Our waitress was wonderful and we appreciate the great food and great service!

At 7:26 pm, our waitress brought us the bill, without asking if we wanted dessert, which we did, and then proceeded to announce that, "there was no rush but that they had to make room for another reservation at 7:30 pm."We had 4 minutes to pay and leave!! We asked to speak to the manager and she confirmed that we only have a certain amount of time for our table "per the reservation policy". She then offered to move us to another area. We didn't. She then informed us that she was going to re-read the reservation policy, to see what the customer sees when they make the reservation. That famous policy never mentioned the 90 minutes allotted for each table, I have since checked. It's clear that they care more about turning the tables over as many times as possible than making sure the customers are having an enjoyable dining experience. We are never going back.
