The king dragon
Trish B.

We had the spicy tuna poppers.... We didn't enjoy them at all but the sushi made up for the appetizer Nigiri sushi, dragon king roll and the phoenix roll everything was all good

This place has changed several times over the years I have been going here. Most recently they have changed the decorations to a lot more relaxed with banners and screenings along with Japanese music and dinner lights. The sushi did have a downswing after their main chef left, but has become much better this year after a bit of a slump, going back to being fresh with good ingredients. Kristi is an excellent waitress and is always friendly when she is there as well. If you go during g lunchtime, it can be rather unpredictable if there's going to be a crowd or almost deserted, although it does tend to become busier after 1 PM. I particularly enjoy their Ika Karage when I go as a snack, and the food comes out pretty quickly as long as you don't hit the lunch crowd.

Speciality Sushi Roll
Thomas Q.

Visited Okawa April 29th and upon entering the place was very clean and I was greeted immediately by the nice hostess. I ordered a California Roll and another Specialty roll which I have forgotten the name of but it was very delicious. The sushi tasted fresh. Although a bit on the high end of pricing I will definitely return.

Came here on a Tuesday night right before 5 pm. A few tables had patrons already and got even busier by 530 pm. Decided to mix things up and try their ramen. Chose tonkatsu ramen with black garlic with cha su. The broth was pretty good. Had simple ingredients of bamboo shoots , shitaki mushrooms, one soft boiled egg and garlic of course besides the noodles. Bowl size was pretty large and had lots of noodles. So much that I couldn't even eat the dragon roll we ordered. I give the ramen a solid 4.5 score and would get again when I'm craving something other than sushi. My wife had the salmon teriyaki. Simple presentation with rice and gyoza. Overall. It was a nice meal. It's not my top Japanese restaurant but solid place to eat.

Sushi

Food, service everything was amazing. Their mussels were straight killer. Oysters were delicious, every roll we ordered came better and better. Definitely my go to spot now in Modesto .

Sweet Heart Roll
Erin M.

I absolutely love the teriyaki salmon here. It's not overly sweet like some are and it comes on a bed of onions which I just adore. Delicious! They were seriously understaffed today which made things mega slow (hence the loss of a star) but the lady who was running around serving all the tables, bringing drinks, answering phones, and dealing with takeout orders was a rock star. My son ordered a sweet heart roll and it was just the prettiest dang roll ever, so I had to review just to share how cute this is.

Salmon Bento Box
Cheryl V.

Modesto-We were starving and stopped in to enjoy some sushi. The service was exceptionally slow, but the food was excellent. We had a Salmon Bento Box, two California Rolls, a Crunchy Munchy Roll, and some edamame. Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly, and the servings were huge. The place was very clean too! The place absolutely needs more waitresses and another sushi chef. The place was packed and they were the only two people working. (It was noon.)

Golden Phoenix, Sassy Roll, & Monster Roll.

Switched up a Modesto sushi spot. It's in a newer shopping center so it's super clean inside & modern. Good service & lots of choices. Myself & my husband were not disappointed! We got spicy edamame and three rolls. They tasted fresh & were well made. Thought the Phoenix was going to be the favorite but it was actually our least favorite (was always rank our food lol). Will definitely go back.

Sashimi
Yuliana V.

Tried this place for the 2nd time with family and we all loved it. I did not have the Sashimi but I've seen plenty of bowls and this one had huge slices and was told it was good. The Hibachi was decent, chicken was a little tough so not the best but the steak was tender and delicious. The rice as a serving was a little hard so also needing a little help to perfect. Mic had teriyaki chicken and again it was dry/tough inside. The flavor was on point though. No pictures for the sushi, apologies, and these were perfect. We had Cherry Blossom, Hotel Ca, and Rock n Roll. Definitely will be back and try some other rolls. Waitress was nice and service was great. The place is quiet and clean and a nice vibe for dinning. I know I made some points about the dinner not being perfect but overall I'd be back for sushi and their other options.

This place was great! We were greeted with friendly smiles. Our server was very attentive. Loved the dressing on the salad. Sushi was yummy! Glad we stopped by to check this place out!

Vegetarian roll
Amanda R.

First time visiting, and this will definitely be our new spot. We had a table of 5. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were warmly welcomed, all of our questions were kindly answered, and the staff checked on us often. The food was absolutely delicious--we loved everything we tried. The spicy edamame was my favorite, and the presentation of the rolls was beautiful. Highly recommend!

This was my first time visiting and everything was delicious! I loved the interior and calm ambiance. We ordered the monster roll, paradise roll, and an order of smoked and raw salmon nigiri.The nigiri tasted fresh and rolls were amazing. Our waitress was great as well. Would definitely return!

Special- blue fin tuna....so glad we ordered it.

Food was amazing!!! Super fresh!!! Our new Sushi place! The owner came over and greeted us…read morepersonally!

Our experience started out when we ordered $80 worth of take out sushi. Got home and found 2…read moremeasley small packets of wasabi and soy sauce. Furious, I called the restaurant. The owners wife Jeanette answered and talked to her husband (Francisco) the owner. They offered a ANY appetizer comped on the next order. I requested it to be a sushi dish instead but she specified that since they were offering any appetizer of our choosing it was fair. I agreed and gave them my info. A month later we placed a to go order and mentioned the appetizer and she confirmed that was correct. I go to pick it up and the owner comes out and says he will not honor that because the price of the appetizer was too high and pick something else. #1. That wasnt what they offered and we agreed to. #2. If you're not going to honor it why not call me and let me know so I don't drive there and waste my time again? He has my number. Edit: regarding the response below. If the intentions were to offer items up to a certain price then that should've been made clear. The problem was they clearly specified ANY APPETIZER of your choosing numerous times. And obviously they have a responsibility to address this when I placed the order/after instead of waiting for me to drive there.

It's been literally 4 years since I've been to Umi (check my last review). With so many Japanese…read morerestaurants around, there are plenty to choose from. Decided to go back here since many of my staff love Umi Sushi. As for myself, my last bad experience (during COVID) I was content to not come back. But I'm always about giving places a second chance and decided to come here for lunch since I was treating for lunch. So first thing I learned was their 50% off sushi from Monday to Thursday during lunch hours. It definitely seems a big attraction since when we got here at noon, there was a lot of people eating. Menu of sushi can be overwhelming with 3 pages of sushi with photos. It was hard to know what to get just because it can take awhile to read the description for each sushi. So started first with spicy garlic edamame- 5 stars Basically edamame with a sriracha mayo sauce with sesame oil. Can be messy if you use your fingers. As for me, I usually use the chopsticks to grab the edamame and eat it there. It's pretty good. Nice kick. Would get it again I couldn't decide so went safe and got the super California roll which basically has unagi on top of the Cali roll center. Rice was soft but held the sushi well and overall, was satisfactory. Super Cali- 5 stars Tried the titanic roll- similar to the super Cali but was deep fried rolls so came later than all the others and was temperature hot. 4 stars The other rolls were Jayjay roll- had cream cheese so not something I would order The Miss Kim roll looked good and again similar to Mine but was topped with tuna. Overall, had a good meal. Staff was okay. They didn't check on us for refills and only came to give our check while some people are still eating Service - 3.5 stars Anyways, felt like an updated review was in order and have lifted my ban on eating at a place I said I wouldn't come back.

We have been meaning to try this Sushi Restaurant for sometime. I keep driving by and I said today…read moreis the day ! My husband and Son dropped by around 1:30pm . We hadn't eaten all day . So,a Sushi Pig Out was in order ! We started w/ Baked Mussels. Very good a bit of a different take on how I've usually had them . A bit more sweet and savory. We all Liked them! Ordered Hamachi/ Sashimi. Perfect slices, Not too thin or thick - like butter :) We were able to order off the 1/2 price menu ( Monday- Thursday) - score We ordered the Blue Ocean Roll - $8.85 It was good a bit too mild for our tastes. The J&H Roll - $8.95 Really Great - We Really Enjoyed this one . We had the Deluxe Spicy Tuna Roll -$13.95 So, Good ! Just the right Spice ! Our Son ordered the Orange Blossom Roll - $13.95 And the Orange Head Roll-$10.95 Which he really enjoyed. I liked the Ambiance of the restaurant- just a bit dim - for a relaxed vibe . Good Sushi and Service!
