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. It's also fun watching the sushi being prepared right in front of you. If you visit, I definitely recommend sitting at the sushi bar. We always have a great experience here.

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.

The food was a bit of a wait. So we hurriedly put all our orders in. There were fried rice, bento box, and yaki sobas. It was about 20min for appetizer and after that it was another 25min for food. They told us of short staff, I get it but there were only 3 tables. We was the only one in there first, then it got more people coming. Anyways the food was good, not bad, just I was very hungry and the food didn't arrive til 40min later. Overall food was good, just a long wait and services was nice.

We tried to eat at your restaurant last night. We arrived at 6:05 pm and were told it would be…read more45-minute wait time. At 7:25 pm we were told we were next on the list. We received a seat at 7:35 pm (1 hour and 30 minutes later). It was 8:40 pm before service was complete. Not sure what happened but our debit card was declined and locked our account until morning. The front staff were rude while trying to explain why 1 hour and 30 minutes was required to receive service. Without cash on us, it could have been a very different situation while trying to pay for our food. It took way too long for our party of 8 to receive service. Service sucked all the way around at your restaurant. The Master Chef done an awesome job with cooking our food, but we have no plans to return to your restaurant. At this rate, it would be hard to stay in business if all your patrons were treated this poorly!

I was hungry for a ramen bowl and remembered that I tried Karai Ramen some years back. I had a 5…read morestar experience then and it was a 5 star experience again. 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.

While in Springfield, MO for work, I was in the mood for ramen and found this gem of a place. There…read moreare high picnic tables in the center of the restaurant and booths along the walls. 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!

I ordered the steak and scallops, and my husband ordered the steak and calamari. The first thing that impressed us was the teppan chef's performance, it was so fun and entertaining to watch. Then we were surprised by how generous the portions were, and on top of that, everything tasted absolutely delicious. When we arrived, the restaurant was already packed and there were quite a few people waiting, but after dining there, we completely understood why. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience were all worth it. I don't remember our server's name, but the service was excellent as well. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and the whole dinner felt enjoyable from start to finish. We'll definitely be coming back again.
