Needless to say, after trying many different types of sushi I realize now that Umi is mediocre at best. Yes the sushi is thankfully fresh but there's nothing special about it & barely any fish inside the rice. I can see why this is popular amongst college goers, myself included in the past but not for actually good sushi.

Overall 4/5: I think this place is worth trying, especially since it offers unique items not…read moretypically found at other hot pot spots. The hot pot itself I think was average but the real standout for me was the appetizers. Seating in a booth tucked away in a corner on the first floor was a bit awkward to navigate. The sauce station downstairs was not well maintained and several items were out of stock, but that may have been because it was around 9PM. Second floor seating and sauce station are better. Food 4.5/5: Main complaint is that their menu is really confusing, despite this being my second visit. There are 4 pricing tiers. Everyone in a party has to choose the same one, so it can get pricey fast. Higher tiers include seafood and more premium wagyu cuts. You still get unlimited wagyu in the lowest tier but seafood is not included. I think this setup is fine because premium seafood items like lobster and crab tend to clutter the pot and are difficult to deshell while hot but also taste worse after cooled. Although the premium wagyu cuts do taste richer and "melt in your mouth," most of the fat is renders into the broth. Therefore, I don't think hot pot is the best way to enjoy wagyu, so the higher tiers didn't feel worth the price. The best part of the meal was definitely the appetizers and specialty dishes. The wagyu bone marrow was amazing and a must-try but only available to the second tier or up. Ambiance 3.5/5: I think being tucked away in a corner booth made the experience less enjoyable. The table was small for a party of 6, so we constantly had to rearrange dishes whenever new food arrived. It was inconvenient that everyone had to get up whenever I needed to refill my drink or sauce. Service 4/5: The first floor sauce station wasn't restocked throughout our stay so options were limited. Otherwise no real complaints regarding service to our table.

The sushi is always fresh, clean, and beautifully prepared. The nigiri melts in your mouth, the rolls are perfectly balanced (not overloaded), and the hand rolls are crisp, warm, and made to order--exactly how they should be. You can tell there's real care and skill behind every plate. Service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the overall vibe feels relaxed yet elevated--great for a casual night out or when you're craving really good sushi you can rely on. Bonus for regulars: they'll be moving two doors down, so exciting things ahead--but the quality that keeps us coming back is already rock solid. If you're serious about sushi, Torigo is a must. We'll keep coming back

It's been a while since I've returned so when I was given a choice, this was and still is, my go to place when I'm nearby. This visit - lots of sushi on my mind. I ordered the chirashi bowl as my entree and a la carte, sea urchin sushi. Today the Hokaiddo uni was available so I splurged and got it. The California uni was available too but given the option, Hokaiddo is the way to go! The Chirashi is a beautiful bowl of fresh sushi - given my allergy to shrimp, I asked for a substitute piece of fish. They accommodated without an issue. The tuna, salmon, and mackerel was outstanding - so fresh! The octopus, yellowtail and tamago were perfect. I enjoyed this very much... Couldn't finish the rice. The bowl is a great deal and value. For starters, my friend and I enjoyed the lightly fried soft shell crab. It was simply divine - great crunch and a soft shell indeed. The optional scallion and dipping sauce isn't really needed but available. So good! It was super fresh. My friend ordered the Black Cod Bento box. Rice bowl comes on the side. These bento boxes are the best deal: comes with gyoza, fried tofu, edamame seaweed salad, wasabi salt, cucumber salad, both shrimp and vegetable tempura (even eggplant!) and the cod was sitting on top of some sauteed string beans. Both of our dinners came with a choice of house salad or miso soup. I recommended the salad because the dressing is fantastic here - citrusy and light ginger I think, with a bright orange color appeal. The complimentary noodles as a palate starter was also fantastic. There is a parking lot in the rear but I've often found spots easily on the street (metered parking but free after 7pm on the weekdays).

Great katsu and anything on the sushi menu was divine. Love the toro, yellowtail, and sea urchin. Can't go wrong with either the nigiri or sashimi choices. A wonderful alcohol selection as well with special items i've never seen before but very refreshing were the green tea beer and the yuzu beer. A gem in forest hills and a must try.

We've eaten sushi all over the 5 boroughs and in Japan and their fish did not blow us away for the high price and small portion. $20 for tempura that is not any better than other sushi places. $30 for 3 kinds of sashimi that consist of 9 small pieces of salmon, yellow tail and tuna and it does not come with rice which they charge another $4 for. The $45 nigiri combo was not worth it. The fish is not premium grade that command the kind of price they charge. Environment is dated. Service is good but not warm and inviting. We paid $135 with tax and tips for 3 items and no drinks. We could've paid less than $100 at other sushi restaurants with more food at same or better quality fish.
