This was our very first time trying Umami Sushi Bar & Pho, and it blew us away! Right when we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, who took the time to walk us through the menu with some amazing recommendations and suggestions. The food quality is, by far, some of the best we've ever had. You can truly sense the pride and love put into every single dish. On top of how phenomenal everything tasted, the presentation was gorgeous--almost too pretty to eat! Ask and try their flavored sake! Wow! We are so thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood. We'll definitely be back (and often)! read more

Never actually stayed to eat. Everything smelled. You know when tables are wiped down with old rags. Smelled terrible. Also, after we were seated the three employees sat with their backs to us watching tv. Finally we got up to leave. Will never go back ! read more

I am always impressed by the ever-expanding options over near Iliff light-rail station. And recently, I encountered another winner in that area - Umami Sushi & Phở, whose pan-Asian offerings are sure to satisfy your soul. My visit began with two pillowy buns stuffed, in this case, with sizable chunks of Korean-style grilled beef. To my mind, this could almost be enjoyed as a full meal just by itself, and certainly provided the "umami" factor promised in the eatery's name. But I would have been remiss in my duties if I had not ordered a main course, and so went with a rice bowl topped with a generous helping of firm, slightly-sweet grilled eel. This has always been a favorite seafood choice of mine, and the one offered here didn't disappoint - it was plentiful, pleasing, and protein-heavy. To go alongside my meal I chose their very intriguing signature drink, consisting of passionfruit syrup with kumquat, pineapple and chia seeds - sweet and tangy, it helped to keep my palate primed throughout my lunch. Accompanied by service from friendly and knowledgeable staff, my visit to Umami has me ready to sample more when next in the area. read more

I've been pregnant so far all this year and unfortunately had a seafood aversion. My husband purchased the sushi platter - UMAMI DELUXE, for after I gave birth and returned home. 10 pcs sashimi (2 salmon, 2 tuna, 2 white tuna, 2 yellowtail, 2 albacore); 10 pcs Nigiri (2 shrimp ebi, 2 octopus, 2 salmon, 2 tuna, 2 white tuna); 4 specialty roll; 2 basic rolls - you can pick what rolls you'd like and add to the comments when you order online. We called the restaurant just to make sure our big order was received and time of pickup worked out. They were very nice as they added crab rangoons, dumplings, and the salad for no extra cost. read more

I came into Umami Sushi Bar & Pho for dinner. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted and seated, and my server came by promptly to take my order. I went with the all-you-can-eat sushi option. Overall, the quality of the sushi is average at best. More specifically, the sushi pieces are average sized, the cuts of fish are average sized, and there was nothing in particular about the sushi that blew my socks off. Moreover, I felt the sushi rice was unremarkable and poorly seasoned. Umami Sushi Bar & Pho is a good place to get your sushi fix if all you care about is quantity. However, if you're looking for quality sushi, I would recommend someplace else. read more

Absolutely incredible people and food! I eat here at least once a week. The chefs are friendly and they always prepare the food beautifully. read more

The shrimp tempura was cold and sushi (albacore) was average. It tasted like they didn't defrost the food long enough. I wouldn't recommend. Fast and friendly service though. read more

We recently returned from California and were craving a warm and delicious pho. Umami sushi and pho, a brand-new establishment in town, exceeded our expectations from the moment we entered. The aroma of delectable and fresh food was exceptional. We ordered a couple of pho and the broth's flavor was intensely delicious and warming. The fresh vegetables tasted remarkably fresh. The entire venue was nice and neat, and the staff were very friendly, making us feel at home. We will definitely return soon, eager to try their sushi. I highly recommend stopping by for succulent pho and sushi. Umami Sushi bar and Pho es Nuevo aquí en Aurora, fuimos por primera vez y pasó la prueba del sabor. El caldo tenía mucho sabor y sustancia. El sabor lo fué todo. La atención fue magnífica, los dueños y todos los meseros siempre fueron muy amigables, atentos y serviciales con nosotros todo el tiempo que estuvimos ahí. El restaurante estaba muy limpio, ordenado y cada cosa en su lugar. Los baños estaban muy higiénicos y todo era nuevo en ese lugar. Totalmente recomiendo èste restaurante si quieres probar uno de los más ricos pho que existen en Aurora. Definitivamente regresaré por el sushi. read more

The caterpillar roll was the star of the boat! It really was such a good roll, well balanced and just tasty. The rest of the sushi was really good too, you can tell it was fresh. The service was also really good, our waitress was so nice and helpful with the menu. The boat is very reasonably priced too with very a generous selection. The place is very clean too which is nice. I'd highly recommend this place. read more

We walked in and boyfriend went to use the bathroom. He said it was gross and out of paper towels, first red flag. Then I mentioned I needed more time to look over the menu but then waited forever for our server to come back. She brought out the accompaniments to bf's pho and the bean sprouts looked disgusting (photo included). I would rather them just say they were out than offer such gross looking bean sprouts. Next my bf's pho came out almost 10 minutes ahead of my food. I understand we ordered from two separate kitchens but the timing needs to be a little bit better. I received the Tobiko roll and was in shock. I've never had a roll with such little avocado and fish! It was 80% rice and extremely disappointing. The ponzu yellowtail was fine but at that point the red flags had added up and I was not only suspicious of my dish but just ready to leave. I can't wrap my mind around how they have 4.5 stars (which was why we chose to try here in the first place). read more

Stopped here on a Tuesday night around 7:45 for a bowl of pho. I got the number P4 which is Pho Tai Chin. They only have one size and it was $16 which is really more than I want to pay for a bowl of pho because it's also much more than I want to eat. But I will say the Pho was amazing. Plenty of meat in the bowl and plenty of delicious broth. I probably will not be back because the bowls are too big and hence too expensive, but if they had a smaller bowl for like $11 I would probably be there all the time. The service was good and the restaurant was well laid out and nice and clean. read more

We came here for my cousin's birthday since it's a newer spot, and I was really looking forward to trying it. I ended up ordering both sushi and pho so I could get a feel for their menu. The sushi actually tasted super good at first, fresh flavor, nice presentation, and honestly everything seemed great while we were eating. But about 20 minutes after we finished, everyone in my party started feeling sick. I mean everyone. We all ended up rushing home because our stomachs were so messed up. It was really disappointing, especially since the sushi tasted good but clearly did not sit right. The pho, on the other hand, was pretty solid. It had good flavor, came out hot, and didn't mess my stomach up at all. So I don't think the issue was the whole restaurant, just the sushi specifically. Which honestly makes me wonder if the fish isn't being handled safely or stored properly. Whatever the reason, something was definitely off with the sushi that day. They also have a really good all-you-can-eat deal that I was super interested in trying, but the catch is that if one person gets all-you-can-eat, everyone at the table has to get it too. It's understandable from a business perspective, but it does make it harder if not everyone in your group is hungry enough to commit to that. I really liked the vibe of the place and would love to come back, but I'm honestly scared considering how sick we all got. Food poisoning (or whatever it was) is no joke, and it definitely made me hesitant about trusting the sushi again. The part I will say was genuinely great was the service. Our server was really sweet and attentive the whole time. They even sang happy birthday and brought out a free dessert for my cousin, which I thought was such a nice touch and made the night feel special despite the stomach situation afterward. Overall, I want to love this place, and I'd consider coming back for the pho or to try the all-you-can-eat menu, but I'm definitely avoiding the sushi unless I see some big improvements or more positive reviews about food safety. read more

First time coming to Umami. I was immediately greeted and seated. My server went over the AYCE option with me and I opted to go for the traditional menu. Gyoza Dumplings are fried not soft but had good flavor. Combination Pho was really good. They provide a plate of the standard Pho fixing (bean sprouts, lime, etc). Bombay roll was really good. Had spice but not a lot. A older lady (may have been the owner) came out after I was done eating and checked me out at the table. We had a conversation and I thanked her for the delicious meal. She recommended Dice Steak to try next time I stop in. Overall everyone interacted with was friendly, attentive, and delivered a quality experience. I would come back next time I'm in town read more

I'd been craving something warm and cozy, and this sushi and pho spot kept catching my eye every day on my way back to the hotel. They look fairly new--there's still a big "Grand Opening" sign out front--so I decided to finally give them a try. I stopped by during dinner and was greeted warmly by all the staff before being seated right away. My server mentioned they're known for their all-you-can-eat sushi menu--$40 for the premium option and around $35 for regular (don't quote me on that!). I ordered a green tea, a combination pho, and a side of eel nigiri. Everything came out pretty quickly. The pho was piping hot with a great broth-to-noodle-to-meat ratio. On the side, they included fresh bean sprouts, mint, lime, and sliced jalapeño, along with hoisin and sriracha--everything you need for the perfect bowl. It was filling and comforting, just what I wanted. Then came the eel nigiri, delivered by what I think was the chef himself (he was super friendly!). The eel was flavorful, with just the right texture--soft, savory, and delicious. The service throughout was excellent; everyone was very attentive. My only small suggestion would be to offer separate little bags for the pho toppings if someone orders it to-go. Other than that, it was a great experience. Next time, I'll definitely come back to try the all-you-can-eat sushi menu. read more

We ordered garlic edamame, pho, sushi rolls and shrimp pad Thai, everything was well done and it did taste delicious. Def recommend this place! read more

When entering we were shyly greeted by the host and seated at a very wobbly table. We were then greeted by the waiter and said we wanted the AYCE option. The waiter said the sushi options were on the back side of the menu and appetizers are on the front. He said it was all covered without mentioning the difference in Premium AYCE ($41.99) and the regular AYCE ($34.99) and we opted for the regular option. He failed to mention that the premium AYCE only includes limited amounts of sashimi, but we assumed it was included since he did not specify or discuss the menu options since it was our first time there. We ordered our drinks and my husband never got his drink so he had to ask someone else for his drink which ended up being the wrong soda. The fastest thing we got during our dinner was the cheese wontons which were crispy and hot. We ordered salmon nigiri which had a good amount of fish and the rice ratio was good for the first portion we got. We also got salmon sashimi, chili ponzu yellowtail jalapeño, seared salmon Cajun, orange salmon spicy, Las Vegas roll, Phila Tempura Roll, Kazuyo Roll, Sumo Roll and Massachusetts Roll. The salmon sashimi were nice and thick pieces. The orange spicy salmon was covered in sauce that overpowered the fish. The seared salmon Cajun was okay. I honestly would have preferred it without all the extra random seasonings but they tasted oddly together. I tried the chili ponzu yellowtail jalapeño which was nothing special. The food overall was alright which is why I gave it 2 stars, but would give 1 because the service was awful. We waited over 20 minutes to even order the next round of sushi. We noticed other tables were also waiting for a long time as well. Our dirty plates were left on our table for a long time as well even when someone was cleaning all the other tables around us. No one checked in on us asking how we were doing or if we needed anything. We had to ask someone to take our order to order more because it was just getting ridiculously long. We got the bill and the waitress just then informed us we got the premium sushi because we ordered sashimi yet no one told us and there's no indicator anywhere on the AYCE sushi menu. It just has prices. Thankfully they only charged us for 1 premium and 1 regular, but still it felt very misleading with no information to go off and not very clear. Also I didn't like how the menu didn't have any descriptions of the rolls so we had to keep the normal menu to read off the menus. They tried taking it from us but mentioned we need it to know what's even in the rolls. My husband and I love trying AYCE sushi and KBBQ restaurants and we've never experienced a service like this in Colorado, California or Las Vegas. We even had to ask someone to tell them to stop making rolls we ordered because it took too long to get and we had to leave. We got there with more than an hour to spend and the restaurant was at probably 30% capacity. We felt frustrated and never likely going back or recommending this spot for someone who is looking for AYCE sushi. read more

Pho IS MY Comfort food - We live close by and have driven by this place numerous times but have never stopped. Last night, I popped in to grab a "to-go" menu while my husband stayed in the car. I was so impressed with the friendly welcoming atmosphere and staff, I grabbed him from the car so we could try this place in person. My husband is not a fan of Pho, but does enjoy a "few" other Thai foods. Neither of us have "yet" developed a taste for sushi. Lilly, the owner is a breath of fresh air and you can tell she LOVES what she does - as another reviewer stated she treats you like royalty and the rest of the staff is just as attentive. To repeat, Pho IS MY Comfort food, I am very picky and this place did not disappoint! I upgraded to (1P) Hot Pot style (think fondue) a first for me and I truly appreciated the fact that I could control how long my steak stayed in the bubbling flavorful broth. It is more costly, so might save it or special occasions - the Pho broth and all the fresh veggies was delicious. My husband had the eggrolls bowl (8S) which he enjoyed. I snagged a few pieces, no fish or any other sauce needed, these crispy eggrolls were full of flavor, little bursts of joy in your mouth. This review is making me hungry - so will go grab the leftovers to reheat - wish I had more eggrolls, they would be great reheated in my air fryer! read more

First time here, it was excellent. It was excellent. Such a great deal for the AYCE lunch!

We waited patiently (maybe impatiently) for this place to open. Talked to the owner and found out they had issues with city and whatnot working on getting Xcel going and whatnot. It took them months of waiting to finally open their doors. I am glad they finally got to open up because we loved this place. My husband was feeling pho. I was feeling sushi. And they have it all here! Our server was nice, but I felt like he has never waited tables before. He made things a little awkward when he would approach the table. Everyone else we encountered was awesome. I got a hamachi jalapeno, tempura veggies and specialty roll. My husband got the rare steak waygu pho. The only complaint that they don't have difference sizes. Just one size bowl. I can usually not even finish a small bowl so this one would be too big for me. But he said it was really good. All of my food was delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

My hubby and I been here three times amd tried their sushi, pho, eggrolls and special rice plate. Their food is good but the service is terrible. We were there last weekend for dinner and had ACYE. It took 45 minutes food our first plate of sushi then another 30 minutes for another two rolls of sushi. Our server did not come by to check if we need more water, hot tea or beer. She was scared to look at us knowing that our food ate taking so long to make. There were 7 tables and the sushi took a long time to make. We watched 4 tables leaving after they finished their dinner and they were happy. We were not happy with the service. read more
