Literally could not stop ordering. The food was so good. We had such a good time. The service is fast and kind. The sushi portions were very generous. And the space was very cute. We went on a late Saturday night and had the place almost all to ourselves. Give this authentic seaside sushi restaurant a try :) read more

Starting with the service, there were four tables sat in the whole place, the waitress had to be reminded multiple times for drinks, miso soup, rice. The rice, in the chicken fried rice, the bowl of white rice, the sushi, it was all old. Like made yesterday? Had hard pieces. Just gross. The prices were insane. Came in for lunch, two adults, two kids. No alcohol. $100. The kids got Chicken Fried rice. I got two rolls of sushi and my buddy got a "dinner". Never again. read more

I've been coming here for years. My favorite sushi spot in town. Affordable and fresh. Even a simple California roll is delicious and way better than all the other spots in town. The owners are always so kind and hard working! read more

My husband says 2 stars for the Ramen but I enjoyed my sushi for the most part. Let's start sushi. Im a salmon fiend, I ordered 2 salmon rolls. There was a good amount of salmon in them but an excessive amount of rice. I tore off about half the rice from each roll. I also ordered the "Las Vegas Roll" which is advertised as "salmon, avocado, cream cheese, deep fried" that's literally my favorite fried roll combo so that's what I went for...so I get home and it's IMITATION CRAB with a small piece of salmon, sliver of avocado, and sliver of cream cheese. The roll was mostly imitation crab, which wasn't even listed as part of the roll. I try to avoid rolls with imitation crab so that was disappointing...but, it was deep fried so it still tasted good. Just not what I wanted or what I thought I ordered. Ramen. I told my husband the ramen isn't going to be amazing as it's not a legit ramen spot, but it had better reviews than the fried rice which was his second choice. He said it was a little better than top ramen, but we ordered beef with egg. There was very little beef and we were expecting a boiled egg as that is a traditional item we've received with ramen...but they put scrambled eggs in the ramen. We had a good laugh about that....I wish I took a picture lol. So yeah, the quality of the fish was on point. Very good. If you're going for straight up sushi, go for it. I'll probably try some of the no rice rolls in the future and just double check ingredients in the rolls in the future. read more

Umami Sushi - Las Vegas roll. Advertised as Salmon, cream cheese avocado, but it's primarily imitation crab. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lompoc, California

The sushi was fresh. I've eaten (or attempted) 3 times. The first time I was turned away because they had run out of rice. The second time, the service was super slow. The third time it was takeout. After ordering, we said we would return at the time the restaurant quoted. We took additional time before returning. But when we arrived our order wasn't ready and they said it was because they needed to cook the tempura shrimp portion of one of the rolls. We had ordered 2 rolls and it had already been 45 minutes. We then ended up waiting an additional 10-15 minutes. It was not during dinner or lunch rush. The restaurant wasn't full. When we left, we didn't check our order because of our frustration with the time. So I guess that part is partly on us for verifying the order was correct. However, one of the two rolls were incorrect read more

Love this place! Staff has always been friendly Food is always delicious, prices are great I would highly recommend eating here or doing takeout read more

This is such a good spot that I visit any time I'm on a trip to the area. Pros: -Expansive menu with a lot of different types of dishes -Reasonable prices for rolls and main courses -Super friendly staff -Always fresh Cons: -Can get a little expensive if you go for Nigiri, but the quality is great read more

2-3 hour wait. Never coming back again. Came here to pick up order, waited 2-3 hours for it to be prepeared. Eventually went inside, asked about our order (keep in mind we checkers in when we got here) and then our food was brought out. Not even very good food.not worth the wait. Next time we ate inside again 2-3 hours until we asked about our food. Then we saw the chef had JUST started making it (then it sat on the counter for a good 15 mins. We went to Petco (and purchased a Parakeet eeeeee!) we got back. Another hour wait. Horrible service. Other customers had already Eagan and left (a family by of 6) and the got there before us. Not recommended. read more

Extremely disappointed. I've eaten here before and was always happy but today was a very bad experience. They were extremely slow and the food was mediocre. We had a couple rolls, the monkey balls and a teriyaki chicken dinner. After today's experience I don't think we'll go back. read more

Food - I would like to give six stars to this place. We ordered chicken teriyaki plate, lemon tree and spider roll sushi for dinner, the quality is perfect. Meat was fresh and welled prepared. Service - five stars. Ambiance - five stars. read more

I truly love this place and the sushi is fantastic. However, the management over this place needs to drastically change. The hours and days of operation are never consistent. There are days listed they will be open and then they leave a sign on the door saying they are closed. They do not answer phone calls for to go orders. When you eat there the wait for the food is at least over an hour. The food is great but the orders are often wrong. I'd give it 5 stars if it could at least be consistent with when they are open and when they aren't. For today for example, they have everywhere listed they are open yet they are closed? It happens too often to be a rare coincidence as well. Overall, this place just isn't consistent with its management and it's sad because that's how you end up losing customers. read more

Second time here. Food is good for the price you pay. Quick service. The staff is always friendly. Small/Intimate location. Took a star away because they didn't have oysters the two times I've visited. The Ikura is definitely better elsewhere. But! Other than that, I definitely recommend giving Umami Sushi a try!!! read more

My favorite sushi restaurant in Lompoc. All of their rolls are made with quality ingredients and expertly arranged together. I have never had a bad experience and always leave feeling like a balloon, which is great! The creamy hamachi roll in particular is my favorite and the Korean style spicy chicken, albeit not a sushi dish, is another one for those who seek the harmonious balance of spice and goodness like myself. A great sushi place with quality sushi and dishes for everyone to enjoy. read more

Delightful , creative, and a treat for the eyes and tongue. Since being diagnosed with diabetes, I am watching my carb intake. I was pleasantly surprised to see a selection of creative no-rice rolls on the menu. And ...they were an absolute symphony of flavors on the tongue. Did not need soy sauce and Wasabi. It would have been disrespectful to the sushi chef's creations to drown the flavors in that salty pungency of the soy‐wasabi sauce. A gem of a restaurant in Lompoc . read more

The Vegas roll is deep fried and so good. If we travel back into the area we will be back read more

I do have to admit that I enjoy quality sushi just a little too much. My rainbow roll was light and delicious. My buddy had beef pho. He loved it. Even asked for another order! Ambiance is a little loud and dress here is super casual. So, good food, authentic, decent prices. Everything the discerning foodie is looking for in 2022. Enjoy! read more

Just got done eating here we ordered California roll spicy tuna roll edamame seaweed salad Popcorn lobster roll a side of kimchi that I never got our server had her headphones in the entire time we were there took 45 minutes to get our food and did I say I asked for the kimchi two times food itself was good just took too long to get And service was horrible. Customers came in after us got better service and food faster than us. Highly recommend ordering for takeout to avoid the horrible service. read more

Five stars by Lompoc standards; definitely the best sushi available in town. Other places may have better ambiance or more attentive service, but we keep coming back here because the quality of the fish and other food is solid. There's usually only one sushi chef working when we're there, so there may be a bit of a wait, but it's worth it. read more

My husband and I are in town for work and decided to try this place out after seeing the high yelp reviews. Needless to say, it didn't disappoint. The sushi was high quality and very fresh. We ordered a few eel sushi, salmon hand roll, drunken tiger and dragon roll. Everything was exceptional. Reason that I'm not giving a 5/5 is that the service was slow (it was a busy night and that's understandable), however, we ordered edamame that we never got and had to ask for our miso a couple of times. We will probably come back on any future trips out. read more
