    Good AYCE sushi spot. I've been here a few times, and their portions used to be bigger for their nigiris. The fish to rice ratio was fantastic, but it appears that they just make it in a smaller scale now. The host will tell you the wait time is between 35-40mins, but it was about an hour. There are no benches in the front available for waiting. The front is a bit small for waiting patrons to congregate. Too bad there's no way to make reservations. You can only add yourself on the list. They do not like to crank up the A/C here. In fact, there's a big fan next to the bar that was moving. There's plenty of seating for a small space. They definitely figured out how to maximize the small space with plenty of seating, though the wait times are still a lot. I would've recommend this place for a large group. Price was reasonable for a good AYCE menu. We ordered pork belly, and that came with two hefty pieces with good sauce. I like how you have the option to order half rolls so you can try a variety of them. The uni tasted fresh for an AYCE spot. Actually, the uni was pretty good in general. Like most AYCE places, you can only order 1 of these per person. All the apps and nigiris tasted great. Foodwise, this place has a good AYCE menu. There is nothing extraordinary on the menu. Just typical AYCE sushi.

    Came here for the first time instead of going to my usual spots. Glad a found it. Nice salmon nigiri varieties. May favorite was the smoked paprika salmon. The different skewers were also really good but you were limited to just one. That was kind of a downer. But they were definitely really good. Service was great, waitress was very friendly and on the ball. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area and are craving some sushi

    The hype is real. This really is a great AYCE Sushi spot. Will be coming back for sure. It's a real good deal especially if you come for lunch on weekdays. Service was excellent. We ordered and our food came out pretty quickly. Was able to get about 4 or 5 rounds of sushi in. I would say the nigiri is the best way to get your moneys worth. The fish to rice ratio is perfect. Only issue with the nigiri is that unless you get plain salmon, tuna, etc. the sauce they put on is mainly ponzu. The ponzu sauce they have is great but after a while I need something new. The couple rolls I got were good. I really liked the spider roll and salmon skin roll. The lemon salmon was also great. The salmon carpaccio was a little too sweet for my liking. The restaurant is a decent size. I did notice that the trees inside were collecting a lot of dust especially on the back wall. The tables are pretty close together so be prepared to make some new friends. It's a pretty chill environment and can't wait to go back and try different items.

    I'm not local to the area, but when I'm in town-my parents seem to gravitate to taking my brother and I here. Assuming you coordinate your order(s) with your table and don't order rolls with a lot of rice, it's totally doable to get a great bang for your buck here! We ordered an array of items such as the nigiri, baked green mussels, oysters, edamame, mini udon, baked scallop roll, yakitori skewers, The Shit, Umami Special, and plenty more! Drink wise: 10/10 would recommend the Strawberry Lychee Soju cocktail Nicole's customer service was on point during my family's most recent visit. Everything we ordered came out at a reasonable time and our water jug was proactively refilled without us having to flag her down. She even greeted my dad for Father's Day! That was a lovely touch, seeing as we came in right before the dinner rush. Coming from a brief food service background myself and in the interest of mindfulness, I try to make ordering a lot of items as easy as possible. It helps a to have a server that's personable and attentive. We're so thankful for her taking such great care of us! Ending up on the waitlist (20+ min for a table) is almost a guarantee here, rest assured Umami is definitely worth it.

    Umami is my favorite AYCE sushi restaurant! I love coming in for their lunch AYCE, the price is just right and you can be seated fairly quickly! If you visit during weekends, expect at least an hour wait during peak hours. My personal favorites are the Lisa Lisa, Sexy Girl and garlic tuna nigiri. For appetizers I order the spicy garlic edamame and veggie tempura. The staff is extremely friendly, and the service is quick! They try to have as much seating as possible in a small space, so it can get quite loud. But overall it's a comfortable environment.

    I believe this is the sister restaurant to Sushi Neko. I put my name on the list and waited, and waited for a really long time. Well I know a party of 1 isn't good for a restaurant as far as space they had many opportunities to seat me earlier instead they made me wait. When I was told 3 parties were ahead of me they seated seven. Now for some people it isn't easy to go it alone at a restaurant we can at least be treated better. Seated in the corner next to the bathroom, lovely. Off my soapbox. The food was good and a nice bang for your buck. I did enjoy my lunch and my waitress which is why I gave a better rating. That's all.

    Honestly we can never get enough of this place - we LOVE everything about UMAMI! The food is always served expeditiously, the service staff are always accommodating and the ambiance is upbeat and friendly. No overly loud music. Tables are set a little too close but still a great sushi restaurant! The $34.95 all you can eat is very appetizing. We usually go a la carte in the lunch hours instead. Free Parking! 24oz Beers! Highly recommend

    Umami sushi is delicious and super fresh! Always a little busy but the quality is so worth it, with friendly staff and a really nice ambiance and decor!

    Finally got a chance to take my son to this place. I'm kind of sad because he wasn't like amazed like me. He gave it a 8 out of 10 compared to all other sushi places he has been to and he's truly is a sushi lover however it was an hour and 30 minute wait it was very crowded very loud but I have one question the last time I came I asked for hot water with lemon mine! That's what I drink and it wasn't a problem.. I don't drink cold water. I drink, hot water and lemon the waiter told me she could not serve me hot water and lemon this visited and couldn't even give me an explanation. I'm a little bit confused why I just can't have hot water and lemon so this kinda irritating me a little bit however, the atmosphere is still nice, but can you please give me an explanation, as the last time I checked I am a adult and it's no different than hot tea.

    Close to home for us! And the sushi is always fresh and amazing. Staff are super friendly. I always get a shrimp tempura roll and my husband does the AYCE, the lunch special Mon-Thurs is very reasonable. My favorite sushi spot on the centennial side of Las Vegas.

    All You Can Eat (AYCE) dinner in Las Vegas, Nevada... Two ladies from church (Willie and Blossom) suggested that we meet up for them for dinner at Umami... and we did! We arrived early, found relatively close parking in the shared lot, and got our name on the list. We had about 45 minutes to shop around in that waiting time. When our time was up, we were seated in a booth in the modern, busy environment. Staff were very efficient and brought many, many dishes. It's fun to dine with different people because everyone chose things that were unusual. They knew to get the pork skewers which were amazingly good! Everything was beautiful and delicious! We would enjoy returning!

    Last week I was craving sushi so I went with my mom for lunch. We haven't been there in years (since my last review of the place). We arrived about 15 minutes after they opened and I was shocked that the restaurant was packed, last time we were there it was almost empty. We got the all day AYCE so my mom could have her uni. We also ordered the sweet shrimp, hamachi kama, salmon belly... amongst other things. Everything was fresh and tasty. The stand outs were the calamari skewer, the seaweed salad was good, seafood salad, salmon belly oh and the coconut shrimp was tasty. It was so good that my mom and I went back for lunch this week... this just might become our weekly lunch date place. The pricing is very fair and it's not super far from our place. Wins all around

    It was about 80 mins wait for a party of 7 on a Sunday evening at 7pm. For AYCE, I like how they don't limit how many dishes you can order per order. Boy we were starving. Everything tasted fresh and good. Food came out extremely fast. And didn't even have time to take photos. They don't want you to waste rice but at the same time they don't really have that many options without rice. It would have been nice if you can just order sashimi. They can limit to how many orders per person like they did for other items like raw oyster and nigiri. For dessert, it was one mochi ice cream per person. Flavors included mango, strawberry, chocolate and green tea.

    Ask the Community - Umami

    Are there gift cards offered during the holidays?

    For the "All-day" pass of $29.95, does that mean you can go for lunch, leave, and then come back for dinner?

    The all day price is for one visit and includes a few more items than the cheaper lunch cost. There is no pass for multiple sittings

    Is there a wait-list I can sign up on yelp?

    You can only get on the list in person.

    Do they serve any protein besides sushi?

    Hi yes they had like chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken, bulgogi, different appetizers, rices, soups, and more

    Is dessert available?

    They gave us little cups of Ice Cream

    AYCE and in the menu there are price per item, how come?

    Although 99% of patrons order AYCE, you can order ala carte

    When is happy hour?

    Mon-Thur 9pm til close

    How much is it a person and is it all you can eat?

    Last time I went there which was about a month ago it was $25 per person and it was all you can eat and well worth it.

    Can I eat alone in all you can eat?

    Yes

    Do you do parties of 10 and can we make a reservation?

    The web site says they take reservations, but when you call they do not.

    Do they have 'no rice' rolls?

    Yes they have a couple of sashimi rolls that are apart of the all you can eat.

    What does it include in the buffet?

    Includes everything on the menu. Some items (marked) are one per person but rest of the items you can order more than one.

    Do they have uni?

    Yes! I had it with quail egg and is was good.

    Do you do reservations?

    I don't think most AYCE places take reservations. Just check in and they add you to a wait list.

    Do they have gift cards or gift certificates?

    Yes, they have gift cards.

    Hours for New Years Eve?

    They are open but hours very depending if it's busy or not

    Can I make a reservation online? I can't get through on the phone?

    Yes and no. It's not really a reservation. They just put you on the waitlist ahead of time is what I was told. For parties 8+,9+,10+. Depends on who answers the phone.

    Is it all you can eat sushi during weekend?

    Yes it's AYCE 7 days a week. I highly recommend this place. I come here every time I visit LV. I will start with the limited items first then sashimi then lastly the rows. 😂

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? (Especially check soy sauce, fish sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, batter mixes for wheat, barley, rye & triticale.) I have Celiac disease & have to eat gluten free.

    Yes, its all gluten free. Rice doesn't have gluten. I would say avoid the sauces to be on the safe side.

    Are to-go orders still 30% off?

    Yes if you use the "Check-in" on Yelp.

One of the previous 1 star reviews I've read on here were right, my bento plate nothing was fresh everything came from frozen you can taste and tell the quality of it,my pork katsu It was chewy and hard and the sauce they give with it tasted like A1 sauce, the cabbage slaw salad was weird the dressing was Japanese mayo and ketchup I thought it was going to be some kind of sesame salad dressing, sushi was not made fresh the whole thing was mushy,tempura shrimp was not good and it was suppose to come w the soft boiled egg welp I got a cold half hard boiled egg. The soy sauce they had on the table tasted gross even my husband agreed it was not good. His garlic ramen,I did try the broth it had a hint of sourness to it but it's not really all that, noodles are not fresh you can really tell they used some thin noodles not traditional ramen noodles you would get at most places. Definitely not the best ramen in the area, there is other places near by that has way better ramen that this place.Never once the girls came to the table to ask us how everything was. Strawberry fruit tea was ok a little too sweet to my liking but it was alright. Now was it worth the $40 something we spend? definitely not I would not come back to this place. upon arriving home my stomach started hurting,never again. Also what ramen joint sells seafood boil?

    Overall, this place was pretty good. Some of the rolls were above average, while others were just…read moreaverage, but nothing we had was bad. We ordered the Holly Mackerel, Crunch #1, Shrimp Lover, and the Honey Toast. Overall, it was a solid meal with a few standout items. There were, however, a couple of things that really detracted from the experience. First, the water was honestly some of the worst-tasting restaurant water I have ever had. It was surprisingly unpleasant and something I noticed immediately. Second, I was disappointed by the pricing of the half rolls. A half roll does not mean you pay half the listed price, which feels misleading. If you're receiving half the portion, I think the pricing should reflect that more accurately. Despite those issues, the sushi itself was enjoyable overall, and I would consider coming back to try a few more specialty rolls. With a couple of small improvements, this could easily become one of my regular sushi spots.

The portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and everything still tasted just as satisfying as I remembered.

My husband and I had a booth inside the restaurant. There wasn't too many customers there on a Thursday evening. Ginza is open every day from 4:00 - 11:00 P.M. Ginza Izakaya Japanese restaurant has a wide range of menu options such as Appetizers: Gyoza, Fried Calamari, Vegetable Tempura, Garlic Edamame and more! Yakitori options like Wagyu Beef, or Wagyu Beef Tongue Sushi Fried Rice, Noodle, Hot Pot and Donburi options! My husband ended up getting the Chicken Katsu Curry. It was a fried crispy chicken katsu culet with Japanese Curry sauce and rice. I ended up selecting the Ginza Signature Dish, New York Strip Steak with Garlic Butter sauce. I did opt for no mushrooms and the team made a fresh garlic, butter sauce for my dish! Service was amazing. The team member assisting our table gave us a mini quiz to complete. We had to write down all of the animals in the painting at our table while waiting for the entrée! It was pretty fun! The food arrived and took about 20 minutes. The New York Strip steak was delicious! It was tender and juicy. I only added a little bit of the garlic butter sauce as it was quite flavorful! My husband ended up using the rest of the sauce for his curry dish! I also had a bite of the Chicken Katsu and, wow, it was SO flavorful! The best part of about the meal though was the Honey Toast at the end. There was a scoop of vanilla ice cream, with honey on top. The toast was delicious! My favorite part of the meal. I have to go back to Ginza again to try out one of their hot pot dishes. Their Beef Noodle Soup looks fantastic! Service is great here! I highly recommend if you're looking for an Izakaya restaurant in Northwest Las Vegas, to try out Ginza!
