    We were there for my parents wedding anniversary and wait time was 1.5 hrs They LITERALLY made us wait the time they quoted us even if they sat other parties before We are long time customers of the casino/restaurants and hadn't been to UME in a while but my parents wanted sushi so we waited. *WE SAW A RAT at the table next to us!!!!! *Portions for entrees were really small and not tasteful *Sushi was good *Manager and server were really nice and apologized *Hosts were not nice or professional *Restaurant in general smelled bad *Sodas was flat *They gave us tap water *The restaurant was not clean and the bathroom smelled horrible *Manager gave us 20% discount for the inconveniences... not was i was looking for but Thank you, still wouldnt come back This restaurant used to be really popular and very tasteful, bar had good drinks and the placed looked upscale, unfortunately it has gone downhill.

    Plastic I found in my rice
    Seandean A.

    I was pretty sure I had reviewed this place but I can no longer find it This is my second time coming to Ume, reluctantly on the request of my mother in law. The first time we had horrible service and sub par quality food. This second time the service was much better but the food was to be expected based on my first experience. Our rice was dry and I found plastic in my chirashi rice (photo attached) The ramen my boyfriend ordered was not a tonkotsu ramen. It was a war wonton soup with noodles, with a whole hard boiled egg. My chirashi was just ok but for the price, there are other places in town worth that amount. My in laws love their Mongolian beef and that's why we keep coming back. People all say the Chinese food is where it's at here. And I'll be trying that the next time we come back. My fortune cookie had no fortune...

    Dragon roll
    Ashley C.

    Went here for my brother's birthday this past week. It was a Wednesday evening and it was pretty slow. Our server was pretty meek, and unable to answer questions about the menu. She was nice though. We ordered a couple of drinks (both strong) the tokontsu soup, beef lo mein, a dragon roll, miso soup, anime fries, and wings. When it came to the wings, we asked if we could do half-and-half for the flavors and were told no. The server then said she could bring the sauce on the side so we went with that option. She only brought one of the sauces, which defeated the purpose of getting the sauce on the side , but it's whatever. The anime fries had good flavor however I felt like they were lacking of all the ingredients that were stated on the menu. For instance, the menu said it had cilantro, which I love, but it was more like a garnish than within the meal. They also very much so skimped on the meat that was supposed to be in the fries. I didn't try the Dragon roll, but was told it was pretty soft, in a bad way. They did however, bring out a birthday dessert, which was kind and appreciated. The menu items here are kind of pricey with many of the appetizer options costing as much as entrée options and the food I'd say is okay. If I ate again at the casino, this restaurant would not be my first choice, but probably not the worst choice either.

    Lunch special Shrimp Chop Suey
    Justin M.

    I decided to try the lunch special today and it was good. I had the Shrimp Chop Suey that came with my choice of soup (egg drop) and crispy noodles. The service was excellent and I was happy with the overall dining experience. The restaurant has an Asian theme vibe that is hip and modern. Overall, for an affordable lunch this place is worth it.

    Bar area unclean

    Food okay, but was turned off by black goop around bar area. Ordered a Cadillac Margarita and had to wait while they went to another bar to get liquor.

    To preface: service was amazing. We had an excellent waitress. She was pleasant, speedy, and overall a wonderful server. She did a great job. However, in terms of food... I would not recommend Ume. To anyone, probably. I was excited to hear that they have AYCE sushi ($28/per person), and honestly I wasn't expecting it to be necessarily *good* sushi. I went in expecting to be at least a little surprised that the food was better than I was anticipating, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Honestly, it was probably the worst sushi I've ever had. I would rather eat at Sushi Garden than have Casino del Sol sushi again. Honestly, grocery store sushi would be better than Casino del Sol sushi. And way cheaper. Let me get in-depth for those who are interested: from the AYCE menu, I ordered the Vegas, playboy, spicy tuna, and spicy yellowtail rolls. Vegas and playboy came first and I was neither surprised nor disappointed about them. They were middle-of-the road sushi rolls. At least the first couple of bites were. After a couple of chews, I noticed that there was way too much rice, making it a hassle to chew. And because it was 90% rice, that's pretty much all I could taste (other than the EXCESSIVE amount of unagi sauce). The Vegas roll tempura fry made the roll feel even more dense with the absurd amount of rice, so it felt gross to eat. The playboy roll used obviously frozen, store-bought tempura, which I wouldn't complain about that if they weren't selling the roll for $15. So, even though I already ate the cost of AYCE with those two very mediocre rolls, I thought I may as well try the other ones since maybe the more simple rolls who taste better. Boy, was I wrong. I ordered spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail--two rolls that I like and figured could not possibly be worse than the other two. But alas; I don't know exactly what they mix with their fish to make the "spicy" flavor, but it definitely wasn't restaurant quality or standard practice. I'm pretty sure spicy tuna (or spicy yellowtail) is made using sriracha and Japanese mayo, but the spicy rolls at Ume seemed to be made from something weirdly sour, but familiar. It kind of reminded me of Tajin? Either way, Tajin-flavored tuna with a thick, THICK skin of rice was just making me sick to eat. I could not finish it, try as I might. I like mediocre sushi sometimes, but this was below mediocre. I honestly feel bad for the fish that was made to make these rolls, which sounds harsh, but I genuinely don't think I could eat here again. Maybe I'll like the Chinese food though (lol).

    Crab Rangoon
    Markiesa B.

    This is more of a 3.5 rating. The bartender was friendly, quick and attentive so no takeaways from the service . I just felt like the food missed the mark with some things. I went during happy hour and for the crab ragoons($5), a shrimp roll($8) and a well vodka and cranberry ($5). The drink was good, the ragoons could've had a sauce on them but instead a dipping sauce came on the side , it was a bit sweet. The ragoons were also a bit too crispy so I had to watch my mouth. The sushi roll was ok I've had better. For this to be a hotel Asian spot I didn't expect top notch so it is what it is.

    Vegas roll

    Nice atmosphere in this Asian restaurant located inside the casino. They offer sushi and fairly standard Asian dishes. The server came shortly after we received our menus. We were ready and hungry. We ordered the chicken lo mein, egg drop soup, hot & sour soup, fried rice, & teriyaki chicken. Service was pleasant and quick. The soups came out within minutes of ordering along with won ton strips. The soups were good especially with the won ton strips. Watch out for the hot & sour soup. The heat will sneak up you. My friend was blowing her nose at the end. The entrees came out. My friend's meal was lukewarm at best. She sent it back. The lo mein was meh at best. The chicken was blah as were the noodles. Even with soy sauce, the meal was still average. The teriyaki dish was returned and now hot. It was better but she said the dish lacked taste. Too bad cuz it looked good. I found one slivered carrot and 2 small pieces of cabbage in my meal. A few more veggies might have helped. Shared parking lot.

    This is always my go to when I'm at the casino. I have even made a special trip just for this food! The appetizers are so good and they have happy hour every day! The service is always fast. The ambiance feels nicer but casual since it's in a casino. Always look forward to coming here.

    The del sol roll, lit on fire  at your table
    Teresa N.

    While staying at Casino del Sol for three nights, I ate here twice. The first time, I had the moo shu duck. It was a generous portion of moo shu with lots of everything including wood ear mushroom. However, the pancakes were a bit off. They're supposed to be paper thin and a little translucent and chewy but these were more like tortillas. Ok, maybe it was a fluke and I ordered the wrong thing. Maybe I should try their sushi I thought. So another time, I give them another chance and order the del sol roll, which they set on fire at your table. How cool is that?!? Loved the presentation... Didn't love the taste. The sushi rice wasn't sticky at all. When I finished the roll, I had a bunch of rice that had just fallen off like leftover fried rice on the foil. Oh well, I won't be back.

    Pineapple Paradise
    Tiffany S.

    Located inside of Casino Del sol casino one of the fine dining restaurants available if you're in the mood for some tasty Chinese food Ume delivers. Offering a Vastray of different sushi fried rice and traditional Chinese dishes with the full service bar with some signature cocktails that all will enjoy. We opted for the Ume sampler platter that included crab or goons potstickers pork Eggrolls and even some Chinese fried wings which are excellent. Our main order included House fried rice which included chicken shrimp and steak it came out piping hot and extra fresh with plenty of egf & Tonkotsu ramen both Were delicious, as far as the alcohol we opted for the pineapple Paradise and an old fashioned. They offer a great happy hour where they have appetizers as well as cocktails at a reduced price looking forward to returning hopefully at happy hour next time.

    We did the all you can sushi so we knew how it was here- not bad!
    Camilia C.

    This was a good experience and the service was great! We tried the all you can eat sushi, which is a bit limited on the selection but it was still good. I also liked the atmosphere as well.

    Food wasn't good, service was extremely poor. Won't be going back. Sushi was worse than grocery store sushi. Orange chicken was very dry.

    We have been here twice in a few weeks because this is our new favorite Sushi restaurant…read more The restaurant is clean and has a simple style. The staff are very friendly. The amount of sushi you get compared to cost makes it very affordable. The plating is amazing as you can see in the photos. We opted for the combos which come with several pieces of sushi and some come with sashimi as well and rolls. The cuts of sushi were large and fresh. There was wasabi and ginger if you enjoy those. The rolls were creative and delicious. Our favorite was Ni Bistro roll followed by the Emerald. The sushi"wich" was very creative and looked like a sandwich. The Ni Bistro was full of flavor and had a lot of pieces. Overall, we highly recommend this new find on the Northwest side!

    Surprisingly bad. I ordered the chicken and pineapple fried rice and a spicy tuna roll…read more Both were the worst I've had. The spicy tuna roll was especially strange - it had no flavor. I didn't know what I was eating. Eventually I could pick up some spiciness, but it was subtle. It was so bland and mushy, I wasn't even sure I was eating tuna. At one point I pulled a piece of the roll apart to take a closer look. I couldn't tell if it was tuna or not - I assume they use some kind of filler ingredients in addition to tuna (maybe that's normal for spicy tuna rolls, but they normally taste much better than this). The fried rice was the worst I've had, though still edible. The pineapple was strange in that it didn't taste like pineapple - I guess it wasn't ripe yet. So no pineapple flavor in the pineapple fried rice. Beyond that, the dish was bland. The unfortunate reality is that Tucson has low standards for Asian food, and shockingly bad places can stick around for years. Some of you remember Yokohama Rice Bowl, a local fast food chain, which was awful, and immediately displaced when Panda Express arrived, which is 10x better... It's too bad that Ni's isn't trying to do something great.

    Grain River Asian Bistro just blew every Vietnamese spot in the area out of the water. This place…read moreis the real deal--authentic, amazing, and honestly my new go-to when I'm craving something cozy and flavorful. The service was warm and attentive, and the pho... listen. It might just be the best pho in Tucson. The broth is rich, aromatic, and layered in a way that only true Vietnamese cooking can deliver. I also love how many veggie-forward options they offer, making it super easy to dine here no matter your preferences. And the desserts? They carry several traditional Vietnamese sweets you rarely find in the States anymore--such a special treat and a total standout. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine that actually hits, Grain River is it. A must-try.

    First time here and will definitely be back!…read more Came here with my family on a Thursday night about an hour before close. Service was good and fast. The portions were huge. We loved everything that we ordered. The restaurant is also very clean. We started with the pork spring rolls and the sugar cane shrimp. I wish the sauce for the spring rolls was a little thicker and had more of the peanut flavor. The shrimp was delicious. Ordered the vermicelli bowl for myself with pork and egg rolls. I would have liked the egg rolls to be cut into smaller pieces so I could mix in the bowl with the pork, but they were crispy and had a good filling. Other things at the table was the combination pho, banh xeo, and Thai basil chicken, which everyone liked what they ordered. At the end of the meal we were given a complimentary dessert, flan, which was delicious. There is a large menu, so can't wait to go back and try something else.
