We usually sit at the sushi bar, and the sushi chef often recommends a few pieces based on the fresh fish they have that day. Everything is consistently fresh and delicious.

Still my favorite and still the best Sushi restaurant in town!…read moreI'm here every week and the staff already know my favorite's: Rainbow Roll and Pòke Roll. The Sashimi is always fresh and I've never had a bad bite of fish--unlike other restaurants in town--and the rolls are always consistent from one visit to the next--again, unlike most other restaurants. The ambience and decor are not up to date and needs some work but in this case the best places are the hidden gems that place the focus on the food rather than just having a pretty looking decor. In my most honest and humble opinion, this place is the best in the Springfield MO area. Hands down.

A unique item here are the noodles. Wow they were great. There were some crispy pieces from the grill top and that made it so delish! The veggies were fresh and well prepared. The fried rice was tasty. Had the chicken and steak. Both were good. The teriyaki sauce was good and the condiments were refilled. Great dinner. This location can accommodate large parties. We had over 20 at our table! It can be a bit loud with the cooking and fans. Note like any other similar facility, your clothes will smell like food from the cooking and smoke.

I ordered the Tonkatsu fried pork cutlet thinking it was like traditional ramen with a meat in broth with noodles. This was not that . When it came, it was a tray with steamed rice, miso soup and a beautifully presented Japanese version of a German schnitzel!! I was surprised and after the first bite of the tender, crispy pork, I was sold. It was delicious. It's a nice little restaurant with outstanding service and pleasant atmosphere. This continues to be a repeater for me.

The lighting is dim and intimate and there was music playing at just the right volume. The restaurant was full however I received kind, prompt, and attentive service. I was dining alone, so I decided to sit at the bar which had plenty of available stools. The bartender was friendly and was able to answer my questions about the menu selections. Now for the food.... It was outstanding! I had the Chashu Bun as an appetizer and the Cheeky Ramen as my main. They were both off the chart tasty. Since I was sitting at the bar which is adjacent to the sushi chef station and right outside the kitchen, I saw many delicious looking plates go out. If I lived in Springfield, MO, I would be a regular. Visit this restaurant. You won't regret it!

I always love the rolls we order and a couple of favorites are the kissy kissy and geisha. Love how you get salad and soup with a sushi roll order, not just hibachi or any other main course dish. Everything is super fresh, you can watch them prepare your rolls at the counter and then they are brought straight to your table. We have ordered hibachi chicken here. It's good but we prefer the rolls . With the other Japanese places in town I feel this one gets overlooked. I've always been able to walk right in! So if you want delicious sushi and don't want to have to wait forever or make a reservation, Umi is the place for you!

It's a busy restaurant we understand. But when we were seated, they over sat the table. There was no place for my baby to sit and there was one too many people for the amount of chairs.

The food is awesome though.

This was my first time visiting Springfield, and I didn't expect to find a place like this…read more The restaurant has a really fun Japanese anime vibe, with Totoro decor and even lucky cat (maneki-neko) touches throughout, which I absolutely loved. It honestly felt like the owner might be Japanese or Chinese, because the whole atmosphere was thoughtfully done and very authentic. The service staff were all friendly and welcoming, and overall the dining experience was great. We did have a delay with one of our dishes (waited over 30 minutes), but the manager noticed the issue right away, took responsibility, and handled it really well. They even offered us complimentary spring rolls, which I really appreciated. That kind of attentiveness and care makes a big difference. The food was solid and enjoyable--of course, you can't compare it to bigger cities, but for Springfield, this is definitely a great find. They also have a robot that helps deliver food, which was such a fun and unique touch. I'm here for work, traveling from out of state, and we actually ended up coming back four days in a row--which probably says everything. You can really tell the owner put a lot of heart into this place--from the decor to the overall experience. I appreciate being able to enjoy a different culture like this, especially in a smaller city. Springfield has given me a really great impression and some wonderful memories. Would definitely recommend

I see staff talking and hardly any tables occupied. I've been going here for years and I used to love this place but now it's just not worth the wait and money. That's my only problem with this place 3 tables taken in the whole place and I get my water after waiting 30 minutes after being seated, and I'm the last to be helped after bigger parties who arrived after me. When I come with 2 other people the waiters are on top of it with service but if it's me alone I hardly even see a waiter. They're chasing tippssss imo. This is just a personal opinion that doesn't contribute to my stars because I know some people find it really cool but the robot is creepy and what if someone needs to ask something when the drinks come? Can't ask a robot and then they have to wait 20+ minutes for a waiter to come by.
