Stopped by for a quick work lunch and it pleasantly surprised me. I was not expecting anything crazy, but the environment was clean and quiet and the food was good quality (not the best out there, but for the price it was very good). They had so many options on the menu from hibachi with rice to curry to pad thai to sushi rolls. Their lunch deals are also very enticing. The service was also very good - we felt taken care of the entire meal. read more

This restaurant was recommended by several people and I can see why! If you are a sushi lover, this is your restaurant. This will be my go-to sushi place from now on. AMBIANCE I really enjoyed the feeling of this restaurant. I had reservations for 5:30 and it only got busier as the night went on. It's clean, there is plenty of parking and it's easy to find. SERVICE The service was incredibly fast. Menus and waters were brought immediately and it only took about 10 mins after ordering to receive the food. The waiter was attentive and polite. FOOD Everything was great! Appetizers, soup, rolls and drinks. The thing I really loved was that their sushi rolls weren't cut big. They were smaller much more manageable sizes to eat. PRICE The price was very reasonable based on the quality of the food and the service provided. I would have expect to pay a little more to be honest. read more

Met a friend for lunch. Was seated right away at 12:30. Their full menu looked amazing but couldn't pass on their lunch menu offerings. I had the three roll combo a large number to choose from I enjoy raw sushi so chose the Philadelphia roll, Salmon with cucumber Roll and Tuna Jalapeño roll. Needless to say had leftovers. My friend had the salmon bento box that came with salad and soup California roll, rice and Goya dumplings. Busy but not loud service was fast. read more

We ordered from Umami through a delivery service tonight. We've ordered from them before and thought the food was wonderful. But this time they surpassed themselves in service as well as in the tastiness of the food. My daughter has a gluten allergy that can affect the quality of her life a lot. The fact that you can indicate a gluten allergy on the order page is wonderful. But then, even better, the restaurant called us to let us know a couple of the items we had ordered could not be made gluten-free. Did we want to change them? And a couple of the dishes required components on the side in order to be GF. Did we want them to do that? When the food arrived, all gluten-free dishes were clearly labeled. It made my daughter so happy to see that. And then the food itself was superb. To have top-shelf, tasty food on top of a caring staff made this a superlative experience for us. Thank you, Umami. We appreciate you and thank you for your delicious food and excellent service. You will be our go-to restaurant when ordering online. read more

This is one of my favorite sushi places in the Omaha/Bellevue area. The sushi is fresh and prepared well. The prices are reasonable. I love to get the sashimi lover entree with some hot and sour soup. If you live in Omaha, you won't regret the drive to Bellevue for this sushi. The service was great and fast. The place is often busy because it's a popular spot. It's great for a group or dinner with friends. read more

Outstanding quality food and customer service. Jay is the one you always see greeting guests and taking phone orders. He always remembers your name and is quick, efficient and the friendliest person you will ever meet. He will offer suggestions and it's always great. The food is fantastic. And when I do stray from my favorites, it's always great! We are so luck to have such a high quality restaurant in Bellevue. People come from Lincoln just for Umami's in Bellevue. read more

This place was amazing! We loved it! Lots of good sushi and crab Rangoon and calamari, teriyaki steak and rice. We also got the chicken pad Thai and it was delicious! read more

We ordered the sushi for two that came with a salad and soup. The salad was underwhelming with iceberg lettuce and bland dressing. The miso soup tasted ok but contained very little tofu (about two small pieces). The sushi tasted fine initially but unfortunately it was served on a hot plate so it got warm fast. The plate was literally hot to the touch as if it came straight from the dishwasher. It quickly became unappetizing. The bathroom and floors need a good scrubbing. I slipped multiple times. If you go, be sure to wear non-skid soles or opt for takeout. The service was excellent! read more

Pretty solid sushi choice in the area! I've come by here a couple times with friends because I've heard good things. Its over in Bellevue and is worth a visit if you're craving sushi in the Omaha metropolitan area. I will say that the best part about this place compared to some similarly priced items is the portions and sushi to rice ratio of the nigiri. They don't skimp on the fish as much for sure. I really enjoyed the salmon flight out of all the things I've tried read more

We were so excited to try this sushi place after hearing the background of the head chef. It did not disappoint! Sushi was super fresh, probably the best in Omaha. Considering we are in Nebraska, this place deserves 5 stars. Service was great, very friendly. The atmosphere is kind of a basic and simple sushi place, but the food is amazing. - Garlic soy edamame (4/5): love the intense garlic flavor. Very savory and delicious - Sashimi and sushi for 2 (5/5): so fresh. I loved the fatty tuna the best. Salmon and medium fatty tuna were also amazing. They were almost melting in my mouth so good. The other sashimi were the white fish, mackerel, yellowtail, and others I can't recall. Everything was really good. The rolls were tasty as well. We love this place and will come back whenever in Omaha! read more

Best food by far our favorite place! Great food lot to choose from when gluten free and dairy free. My favorite restaurant to go too.

My husband and I were craving sushi. We actually made it a weekday lunch together. The restaurant was very cute, big, but seating was set up to have plenty of privacy. We each ordered the shrimp tempura bento box. We ordered a dynamite roll to share. Everything was delicious, just wish some were a bit warmer, came out room temp. We each got the ginger salad. The waiter was very friendly and gave suggestions. read more

As usual, Umami for the win!! For this month's go with my Amex Gold Card Grubhub credit, I went with the Omaha Steak roll. It seems to be a play on Yoshitomo's wagyu roll, and they did a good job on it. It had good flavor and the steak was tender. I'll be looking for this one in August I presume! See you next month, Yelpers! read more

Top tier sushi. Nigiri / Sashimi is better than anything else in town at a super reasonable price point. The staff is super knowledgeable, they serve a wide selection of high quality fish, and there is always something new to try on the seasonal menu. I always see the owner working hard behind the counter, so he obviously cares a lot about his restaurant and the quality of the food. No surprise that it always hits the spot. read more

Great food. Great service. Some of our family favorites are general tso's, sweet and sour chicken and all the rolls! Definitely recommend!! read more

Umami - Out-of-Control Roll and Coconut Shrimp Roll - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Nebraska

When you first walk in it has a comforting atmosphere with sushi chefs to the right, whipping it up and having fun while doing it! I forgot our waiters name, but he was very kind, and took caee of us 110%. We first ordered the Miso soup, and it was very comforting! You could tell it's authentic, and packed full of love and flavor. Now I'm not a seafood person whatsoever, but the sushi was so elegantly plated, and my fiancé enjoyed every bite of it! This has become one of our favorite sushi spots by far. It's worth the extra splurge at Umami to be treated like damn near royalty! I got the teriyaki chicken, with a side of fried rice. The rice was very moist, and very flavorful. The teriyaki sauce itself is decadent and unlike any other teriyaki I've had. It's a fun atmosphere, with serious deliciousness! If I could vote 100 stars I definitely would! read more

Excellent chef, with impressive culinary credentials. The service was great as well. An unexpected find in the Omaha area. It is a nondescript building, but inside it was excellent and food was fantastic and rivals some of the best high end restaurants I have visited! read more

Not sure how I haven't reviewed Umami yet! In my opinion, this is by far the best sushi in Nebraska. It's actually the place that made me like sushi to begin with. I started out just eating the lo mein (which is AMAZING), graduated to a few simple rolls, and now I've eating several raw nigiri and trying the specials every time we go. Chef is the best, and always makes sure we're treated well at the sushi bar. Jay, the manager, knows us by name, and loves to suggest new options for us to try! There is not much to the aesthetic, but man the food is next level!! You have to go read more

This is the best sushi in Bellevue, and rivals that of most sushi places in Omaha. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. This is my favorite place to take out of town friends and family. I highly recommend their egg drop soup, as it's the best I've ever had. As a treat, try the Japanese A5 Wagyu and Bluefin Tuna sushi, it's a treat! read more

Umami doesn't take reservations for small parties but even if the place is packed they were so speedy to get us a table so don't be scared! So many options on the menu to choose from. Lots of vegetarian options as well. VERY friendly and helpful staff. This is a gem in Bellevue. read more

First, Umami is not one of those expensive, high end sushi restaurants that serve one piece for $5. This is a cozy, casual restaurant that is ALWAYS full and very welcoming. You may have a clerk at one table and the mayor at the next. And the food, the appetizers and sushi, tremendous. The fried calamari app is so crisp on the outside and tender inside, we get it every time. Edamame is overflowing in the bowls. Yakitori and the rest and always flavorful. We prefer the individual sushi pieces and they have a wide selection. Salmon, uni, eel, everything fresh and tight. We always end with the miso soup to settle everything. We're always full, and stay full. We're back every couple of weeks! read more

The restaurant itself smells super weird. It's like a musty, wet odor that they try to clean it but the smell itself will never go away. However, the sushi slaps so that's all I care about. Solid sushi joint that I like better than all the places in Omaha, and the parking situation is better. They have a huge lot. read more

Went to Umami yesterday and was pleasantly surprised with the interior of the place and the food. The rolls that I got were delicious and made me wanting more. We also got some pork gyoza (not pictured). They were good, nothing too special! My bf got the steak and chicken hibachi. It tasted really good but the fried rice was more soggy than fried. The service was great! We had a new employee take our order and she was splendid. Always came around at the perfect time. I will say that this is one of the best sushi places that I've been to around in the area. Will definitely be going back! read more

I have to Umami is such a great surprise. Specially for in a random spot in Bellevue Ne. The sushi is absolutely amazing ! We don't go down to Bellevue very often but might have to start going more often. Ordered the Non stop hot tuna roll, jalapeño roll and the crispy yellowtail sashimi. All 3 were absolutely scrumptious! I also had a crispy salmon skin hand roll. It was perfect! I will absolutely be going back soon. Oh wait the shishito peppers are also a must read more

Huuuuge fan of this place! Neat and beautiful interior. I read about them in an Eater article about the best places to eat around Omaha. So I went for lunch with a few coworkers. The menu options are numerous and impressive. You could get curry, katsu, hibachi, sushi, and more! Really cool specials as well. Food came quickly, payment was fast and easy even though we all wanted separate checks. I ordered the 1504 Bellevue roll and it was creative, tasty, and filling! I also ordered the shrimp shumai steamed. I hope this becomes a regular lunch spot for me and coworkers! read more

NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT... At first I gave this place four stars, but the Pad Thai was so good I discounted the freezing wind from the air conditioning....and the miniature spring rolls and gave it five stars. Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes, but I have quit ordering it to overcome all the disappointment my recent experience has given me, so I asked the host to turn up the temp--which he did--and ordered spring rolls and Pad Thai anyway. The spring rolls were delicious but tiny and $5. FIVE BUCKS FOR THAT? Yep. From their point of view it was a perfect appetizer because it left you wanting more, but I will not order them again. And then came the noodles. Man oh man. The serving was ample and the best Pad Thai both east and west of Bangkok. The plump Air Force, flight-suited crew member seemed to be enjoying her's, too. Too much, I'd say. read more

Stellar sushi in Nebraska? In Bellevue? Yes. Yes. Even my mom, an avid hater of sushi, loves this place. The variety of rolls with shrimp in them is a big pleaser when my mom. And I have to admit that the coconut shrimp roll is darn tasty. And there's loads of options to choose from! And every single one is darn tasty. The crunchy fried rolls are big hit with me. And the one topped with lobster salad. And... Well, all of them. All of the rolls are done perfectly. They're not too loose. They're not too big. They're just right. I never would've thought I'd find a sushi spot that pleased the entire fam. But here we are! We use the order ahead feature on the website and just pick it up and bring it home. Easily one of the best sushi places I've experienced! read more

Umami - Sushi roll carry out - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Nebraska

Hands down one of my favorite places to go. Jay who knows me and my husband by name is GREAT!!! Always smiling , always on the move. We LOVE their fresh oysters . Staff is always friendly and very attentive. Soft Shell Crab another of our favorites is always fresh and served with an excellent ponzu sauce. Their hibachi is very filling and comes with choice of protein , vegetables , salad soup and fried rice . You can't go wrong with their rolls , they are cut so that you can eat the whole piece in one bite. They can get really busy during peak times , but everyone who is working , quickly clears the tables and prepares them for the next person QUICKLY , which you don't see that at a lot of other restaurants . read more

Mercedes was an amazing server who guided us with our meal. We've gone here multiple times but it's always good to try other options. We had an assortment of sushi and sashimi, as well as the sushi lover (where chef picks and curates a mix of sushi for you - loved this !). Wagyu, toro, octopus app, aji fish app was interesting - they fry the fish and you pick at the head and fry bits. Great presentation ! Jalapeño roll wasn't our fav. But the toro (fatty tuna) and waygu was buttery goodness. Always a treat and at 6pm we were able to get the last booth. It was jamming tonight ! Chef's read more

This is often listed as one of the best restaurants in Omaha for a reason. There's very few places you can order JUST a piece of fish and it's delicious. That tuna in the picture I posted? It had the same mouthfeel as better. I cannot say enough positive things about our waiter. We had DIVERSE needs. I love sushi, wife hates it, and dad needed something to pair with whiskey. He helped everyone at the table find something they liked. I am a critic of tipping culture in the US but I enthusiastically tipped above my normal threshold. The weirdest thing is the atmosphere! This location was clearly built as something else. Like a Pizza Hut or Sizzler maybe? It certainly is not modern but it is a top tier restaurant now. This just adds to the fun and mystique! read more

Umami - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Nebraska

This has been our go-to sushi for years now since they opened. I have never had a bad experience or bad food here. Their sushi is top notch, and rivals even the most popular local sushi restaurants. I always stick with my regular sushi combo, but I have also shared a sushi platter with my wife. My daughter always orders the chicken katsu (closest to chicken tenders) and she has never been disappointed either. The layout is nice with plenty of tv's for viewing games or whatever may be on. Servers have always been attentive and pay attention to your requests. Highly recommend, this is a jewel of a place tucked back in Bellevue and should be recognized as one of the top sushi places in all of Nebraska. read more

This is the real deal!! Would have never imagined finding such an authentic down to earth sushi place in Nebraska! I just moved from San Francisco and thought I'd never be eating sushi here but I've finally found my place! They fly in fish and wasabi from japan. Their daily special menu is where you'll get the freshest items in season. Of course they have your standard rolls, bento boxes, and such as well. Great for families, not super fancy, trendy, or expensive. Love it and will be driving back down here often! read more

Umami - Chef Zheng serving up some Kama toro! - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Nebraska

Umami became my home away from home while visiting Nebraska for work. Umami has friendly service, positive hole in the wall vibes, delicious food, and reasonable pricing. Service: always A+ service here. Everyone is always super friendly and quick to get you in and out. The waiters are knowledgeable about their menu and gave great suggestions when I wanted to try something different. Very family friendly feelings all around. Also very spacious and clean inside. Large - extensive menu surprisingly, not only do they have sushi but regular teriyaki, teppan, and other meals on the menu. My favorites: for starters their avocado salad is beyond delicious. HUGE chunks of avocado plus a ginger mustardy dressing that was unlike anything I've ever tried before - such a simple starter but delish. Also you'll laugh but how does this spot have some of the best egg drop soup ever? I know egg drop soup is pretty basic but this one here is so flavorful and a bit on the thicker side which I like. Now for the sushi - always on point. I like that they don't make these crazy big rolls that fall apart. Rather the bites here are delicate and small - good for a date night as you won't be making a mess or looking awkward as you eat haha. Some associate small rolls with being skimpy but here they are just perfect. The fish always tastes fresh and the sauces are pretty good. I'm a sucker for their spicy salmon roll and rainbow roll. If your in the area please give umami a shot. Small businesses like these deserve a chance as the atmosphere, food, and price point are 5 star worthy for a proper hole in the wall neighborhood spot. read more
