Decently priced AYCE sushi lunch. Parking tends to be horrendous in the area so it took a while to find a spot. Came for a late weekday lunch so we were seated quickly. The price for the amount of food we ordered was worth it, but I'm not sure the price alone will keep me coming back. The quality of food, ambiance, and service were just ok. Of everything we tried, the hand rolls were probably the best. If I ever find myself back here, I'd probably just order mostly hand rolls. The sushi rolls are smaller in size, which I appreciate for an AYCE spot (see photo). This allowed us to try different rolls for each round. Though it wasn't terribly busy, the size and acoustics of the restaurant made it so that I could hear almost every table's conversations very clearly without even trying to eavesdrop. It made for an interesting but overstimulating lunch. And the service was overall decent. Orders were taken, and we got checked on from time to time, but the servers' vibes were flat, robotic, and indifferent. So, this place is just okay. Kind of forgettable to be honest. read more

Came for the AYCE lunch. The specialty sushi rolls were delicious! We paid an extra $10 each to add nigiri, but honestly, I probably would've skipped it. There was too much rice, and a couple of the fish pieces were served super cold. The texture made them seem like they had been frozen or were still stiff. The overall price isn't bad, but the service is really slow. We had to flag down our server a couple of times just to get water and place our orders. The food also took a while to come out. Don't get me wrong, I understand places get busy, but with the 1.5-hour AYCE limit, there's really no way to get everything you want unless you order it all at once. We only ended up placing about four rounds of orders before we decided it wasn't worth waiting anymore. I'd definitely come back for the specialty rolls, but I'd probably skip the nigiri next time. read more

Came here with my sister because I seen this all over my social media. All I can say is that it's definitely worth every penny. The food here was so fresh. Restaurant is small but homey, not crowded. I suggest coming early because it does get crowded quick and parking is mild. read more

Can only split the bill evenly so if you dont plan on ordering the same thing then dont come here They will have their backs turned the entire time making it difficult to get their attention They charge 18% for any size party.

Sushi Uma is a small sushi spot located in SF. They have paid street parking available (meter), but are also located near a couple of public transportation stops too. I went after typical dinner time, but it doesn't seem to be super busy in general. We got: * Cherry Blossom Roll * Unagi Roll * Sake Roll * Kappa Maki Roll Had no complaints taste-wise (tasted the same as all other sushi spots). Nothing stood out, but I appreciated that the Cherry Blossom Roll wasn't stuffed with fake crab (had raw salmon inside instead). Price-wise, they're about the same as other sushi spots. Their AYCE deal looks pretty good, so I'd come back to try that if I'm ever in the area. The service was average (filled our waters occasionally, but didn't really check in on us that much and the service didn't stand out to me). Overall, this is a safe, mediocre spot for sushi. read more

Recently ordered delivery from Sushi Uma which has been a go to spot in the neighborhood. They were kind enough to include an extra set of the speciality rolls we ordered. With the increasing costs of living and food it's great to have a local spot that recognizes this and is trying their best to keep prices affordable. Thank you Sushi Uma! read more

Had a coupon so ordered 2 dragon rolls and 2 miso soups for dinner, orders came within my anticipated time, so pretty good service to order. I didn't go to the restaurant itself, so I couldn't speak much about the ambiance, but when the food arrived, the sushi was still pretty fresh and the soup was nice and hot. I started with the miso soup and downed it quickly, had that typical miso soup you're used to so no complaints there. I dug into the Red Dragon roll, and it's as I had expected, got your shrimp tempura inside, imitation crab, and spicy tuna on top, didn't have the tobikio but I'd imagine it would likely have fallen off, so no worries there. Chowed down the whole thing and overall it was pretty good, of course, there's other higher-end places that cost more, but for your local sushi spot for your average $$ price, I was satisfied! read more

I love sushi, the wait was not too long for the amount of rolls we ordered i'd say it was a normal wait time, could be quicker but there was a big party table before us so i definitely get the wait. If you like to get the seaweed salad with your sushi it'll be a different extra cost as it's not included in the AYCA MENU. This was for the four of us yet we got so full. read more

Loved this experience! The customer service is amazing. It's like they knew when we were ready to order the next round when we got down to the last pieces. The tuna and salmon were so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend getting different rolls as they come out on one big plate family style. AYCE for less than $30? Yes please!

The servers here are really nice. We came in as a family 4 with a baby and toddler included and got to sit near the window. We came here because we were craving for sushi and found out this was the place that does all you can eat. For $26.99 a person on weekday lunch, it makes it so worth it to eat here. It's hard to find such places nowadays. There aren't a lot of special roll choices but too many options make it overwhelming sometimes anyway. They have a select choice of appetizers as well. We did the miso soup, shrimp tempura, and chicken karage, which all tasted really delicious. All the rolls were good as well, including the lion king roll and California roll. We enjoyed all the food!! Coming back here again next time we crave for ayce sushi! They dont overdo it with the rice! read more

If I could give this place six out of five stars, I absolutely would. Write out the gate the service was amazing. It's an adorable little spot in the sunset and there is limited seating, of course, but there is open seating by the window where you can get a lot of sunlight or you go deeper in toward the restaurant where you can get a little bit more of a dim perspective, which is fine. Right away, they asked if we had a reservation we did not the place was almost packed, but they had one table in the very back that they opened up just for us. That right there earned my five stars. The service was absolutely incredible. I found it to be really sweet. The Man was talking to me and I didn't understand what he was saying and he was so patient with me. I was very appreciative. They were extremely accommodating at first I wasn't sure if my girls were going to eat so I didn't order for them and then it turned out. They were going to eat so I ended up adding their order on. Again the service was amazing. Not to mention... $33 for adults $20 for kids over six years unlimited sushi on a weekend. What do you even mean? I was blown away. The quality of the sushi was incredible. I've had all you can eat sushi before and I was not super impressed by the quality, but this place hits different. Not to mention that all you can eat menu include some appetizer, including miso soup which we had plenty of. I am so grateful that I got to eat here and I will 100% be coming back. Also, the people here were super chill and very friendly. This neighborhood is just so friendly. I love this neighborhood in San Francisco. read more

It has been a while since I ate here, about a year and a half, but I still feel the need to leave a review. I came here to get a bite in with friends, before a night out celebrating my birthday. Their Chicken Karaage was a great way to begin the evening, and is to this day the best karaage I've had. I stop and think about it sometimes... I ordered the Lion King roll (my go-to). My friend ordered the katsu curry, and my other friend ordered the Rainbow Roll. Everything was delicious. We came before the dinner crowd arrived and got to take our time, which is always nice in the city. Very casual spot to get very good food with lovely service. Would definitely recommend and return for more. read more

Came here on a weekday for AYCE Ordered 4 rolls Waited over 40 minutes for our rolls We were served 3 rolls from our order and 1 that we did not order Waitress insisted 2 of the 4 rolls were the same when they clearly were not. They then brought out the 4th roll and it was genuinely the worst piece of sushi I've ever eaten Do not get the Romeo and Juliet roll. read more

Easy reservations made online (max 6 pp) through grubhub. Called to increase headcount and lady told me that it's automatic 20% surcharge for group. Seated right away but no explanation of how AYCE worked so had to review on menu and ask questions. Basically it's AYCE but nigiri is an additional $10 so total of $39.99pp on weekends. Kids 5 under are free. The nigiri, tempura and fresh rolls were good but the fried rolls had too little fish and too much rice. The hand rolls were the best IMO even tho there were only three selections. Service was strange. Friendly but didn't clear off your dishes to make room for the next orders. I had to put the dishes on the next empty table to me. Overall: fun spot with a small group (restaurant is not too big) since we were able to watch soccer game and good deal when you're hungry for sushi. Or want a less expensive sushi meal. read more

Came on a Saturday around 2pm. The inside had a good amount of tables, and there weren't too many people. We did the all you can eat sushi. I think the restaurant was understaffed because the service was unfortunately extremely slow. It took a while for them to seat us and to take our order. The sushi itself was not bad. I do think they overload it with rice to make you full. After being done with our rolls, we had to follow up twice about the hand rolls we had ordered the first time. We finally got them and to no surprise it was packed with rice. read more

Aside from the a-bit-slow food preparation (about 20min wait), everything else is great! Unlike other reviews, our sushi had a normal amount of rice, and comparatively high quality ayce sushi! We had 3 pieces left on the table from our first round, but the server still let us order the second round :) It's definitely great for this price! read more

We came here for dinner thinking it would be all you can eat, but we were mistaken. We thought it was AYCE because the "All You Can Eat" sign was still sitting on the sidewalk after 8:00 PM, so it was easy to assume it was being offered during dinner service. IT'S ONLY ALL YOU CAN EAT BETWEEN 11:00 AM & 4:00 PM. That was on us, so we decided to stay and give the restaurant a fair chance anyway. We were seated near the front door and ordered two bento boxes (beef and salmon), a tempura roll, a California roll, and a tekka don. First impressions: * No tempura dipping sauce. * The tempura looked and tasted premade. * The salmon was over-seasoned. * The California roll was mushy. The rest of our group was also unhappy with their dishes. My friend never received wasabi with their sushi, and it took nearly the entire meal before I could get the attention of our server. Later, we ran out of tea. I took the lid off the teapot and placed it on the table to make it obvious we needed a refill. This time, I actually timed how long it took for anyone to notice. OVER 10 MINUTES. By then, we were pretty upset and just ready to leave. To make matters worse, we weren't given any choice in the tip. PARTIES OVER 3 HAVE A MANDATORY 18% TIP. I had actually considered coming back another day for the AYCE lunch since I work in the area, but after this experience, I won't be returning. Consider this a heads up read more

Sushi Uma - How long before they noticed the tea lid on the table - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Overall: 4.25 stars!! There seems to be an increase in ayce sushi spots in SF, but Uma stood out to me because they offer both AYCE and a la carte menus - hopefully promising higher quality ayce options. We came here for lunch on a Monday, and while it was busy with a stead flow of guests, we waited about 5 minutes for a table for 2. $26.99 ayce seemed like too good a deal to pass up, so we opted for that option. What we ordered: miso soup, garden salad, 49er roll, lion king roll, negihama maki, coral reefs roll, salmon and tuna handrolls and a hot tea pot ($2). The rolls were all tasty and well-sized. The rice to fish ratio was also balanced. Sometimes, places make them huge, so you can only commit stomach space to 1-2 full rolls, and I get really sad! Lol. The handrolls were also tasty but had just a tad too much rice. My spicy tuna handroll in particular had a pool of sriracha sauce in it. (It might have just been that one.) Overall, good quality and value though. Parking: Street & meter. Quite difficult. Service: Friendly and fast read more

I enjoyed this place and you can definitely get your moneys worth with the AYCE deal. I will say, while it is cheap you do get what you pay for. The quality and flavors aren't amazing or anything, but for the price it is good. The service was good and very attentive and made sure we could order many things. Overall the vibes were chill and I could come back. read more

If you head out to the avenues, you can find some great dining deals. Case in point, Sushi Uma with its ayce sushi lunch special for $24.99. Lunchtime is a generous 11am-4pm and we avoided peak hours by dining later but there were still a steady stream of diners popping in. AYCE includes a whole bunch of rolls or you can top up $10 for nigiri. We started with some hand rolls and those were by far the best bites of the meal. Fresh fish and plenty of it packed into each roll. We ordered a whole bunch of maki and specialty rolls which were fine but following the hand rolls proved to be a hard act to follow. Great deal for sushi lunch is great incentive to make the trek from downtown. read more

Food cold no chopstick so this is only i will only give 3 stars to this place but overall okay

The food was not it. Here is a breakdown of everything we got: - rainbow roll - cherry blossom - blue fin toro nigiri (this was $15) - smoked salmon nigiri - sake nigiri First off the rice did not taste like sushi rice. It was insanely dense, and did not hold together like sushi. The fish was mediocre. One of my biggest grievance is the fact that we got the blue fin toro which is supposed to be fatty. This slice of fish was the leanest tuna I've ever seen. The nigiri was the same color as the roll. Service was ok. The waitress was on the phone most of the time. It was a slow night. read more

My friends and I tried a to-go order for Sushi Uma for a night in. Our order was neatly given to us in a few plastic boxes. Red Dragon Roll: This was my personal favorite! I loved the crunchiness of the shrimp tempura that went along well with the sauce and texture. Boston Roll: This roll was simple. While the salmon sashimi on top wasn't the freshest in my opinion, it still satisfied all our cravings. Takoyaki: The takoyaki paired with the sauce was great! I wish that it was slightly crispier, but the creamy, soft interior was satisfying enough. Wakame Salad: The portion size was decent for the price, and this was a general favorite of all of us. read more

Been here a couple times and have tried both the omakase and all you can eat menus. Quality of the omakase is great, including premium cuts of fish and uni. Can't really argue with toro and uni, at a price of about $15-$20 far more that of Amami. Their all you can eat menu runs everyday from 11 AM - 4 PM. For under $30, you can get your fill of a bunch of different sushi rolls and hand rolls. Nigiri options start at $10 more. We stuck with the regular ayce and it was more than enough to fill us up. Quality was good and rolls were flavorful! The place was packed at 1 PM on a Sunday, but service was friendly and the place was clean! Will definitely be coming back! read more

First timers here and it didn't disappoint! They do only offer rolls. You can order nigiri but that's an additional $10/person. The rolls are huge and they don't have a lot of rice which is always a good thing. The rolls were delicious. At $24.99 it's definitely worth it. Service was great. They were very attentive and refilled our cups frequently. The place is a bit small but it's just right for the area. They have a good amount of tables. Parking can be a bit tough which can make or break the trip down here. But if you hold out long enough to find parking, you will leave with a happy belly. read more

Not a lot of sushi buffets in the city so it's nice to have this option. Menu is relatively small compared to the peninsula sushi buffets and mostly based on sushi rolls. If want to try a lot of different things, not conducive to that since rolls are pretty large. Regardless, everything is fresh and tasty. Chicken karaage and hand rolls are good too. Wish they had sashimi options. Place is small and intimate. Service is ok. read more

I was excited to try this place, the highlight was the special scallop roll. The sear on it brought a great flavor but everyone else was a bit whatever. I was extremely hot inside and it was actually pretty cold outside. The entire time both of us were very uncomfortable. The waitress didn't come back to refill water or ask us if we needed anything. It seemed they were focused on delivery pick up orders. They were out of some items as well. The rice was inconsistent, some pieces being hard and some normal. I found that the rolls lacked some flavor even with sauce on top. The portions were decently big which was nice but the downside is that even a more basic roll like spider fell apart when picked up. It was quite a messy meal. The kama was overcooked and a bit tough in some areas. read more

This is probably my favorite place to get good quality sushi for to go without dining at a restaurant. This restaurant is a bit small, so many people order takeout and I was surprised how much I liked their food since I also ordered takeout. I went here for dinner around 7pm on a Friday and they were so quick at preparing my order. I ordered the Dragon Roll and also the Takoyaki. I tend to be picky with my takoyaki, but I loved how crispy the takoyaki on the outside while it still being soft on the inside. The Dragon Roll is a good size and held together well too. I'd recommend this place! They have indoor dining too, but I chose to order to go since it's a small restaurant. Everything I tried that day was good, so now I'm tempted to visit more since they have a large variety of food here. read more
