A nontraditional approach to Japanese sushi. Fresh ingredients and some creative combinations.

We tried this restaurant for my birthday. Our server was not personable or assertive. We sat without filled water glasses for quite awhile, among other annoyances. When asking simple questions we received drawn out answers that seemed to run on and on without end. Overall, the food was average and service was below average. We prefer other local restaurants more :( read more

Well we thought we'd give it a second look since they didn't impress us on our first visit. So far not so good. Waitress wasn't sure about sashimi vs nigiri availability of the fish and served our bottle of wine without a taste first. We were told there would be a bit of a wait as they were very busy but once our sushi arrived the nigiri didn't have wasabi under the fish as per traditional presentation and one of our diners didn't even get her meal. We were told it was due to a mix up in the kitchen. 15 minutes later her dinner arrived. The waitress then presented us with a card good for one appetizer or free kids meal. That is funny as we will never be back. The Mackerel was subpar, it was dry and not very flavorful. Considering fish is available to be flown in this is just sad. This restaurant try's to be an upscale place but considering how both times they were not able to impress, again we'll never return. My husband and I are big fans of sushi and have eaten it everywhere from the Midwest to Japan but this was unexceptional even for the Midwest. read more

Environment is good, but I think it's little too much. Fancy tablet for sushi and drink display- not much help. Food taste good, but not outstanding. Good service but the environment can sometimes be loud due to their seat arrangements. Maybe they should just add more items to the menu so customers will return. read more

Umi - Like that piece of lemon - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Great new Japanese restaurant. Cowboy roll and chop chop roll were both perfect. Tuna cubes were perfection. Service was excellent. Only getting 4 stars on account of Dr. Singh roll mango wasn't quite ripe, and my gin and tonic was off. Great selection selection of Japanese beers also well. We will be back. read more

Wonderfully fresh veggies, spicing is just right for customer's taste. Had whole fried red snapper with three sauces. Satay of chicken was NOT dried-out jerky, although, peanut sauce serving was inadequate for me. If ordering bubble tea have and an idea of how sweet to order. Service was great and prompt. Restaurant is clean and not too busy. Nice simple decor. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

Unfortunately we did not have the best experience with our group of 6. We had to ask for silverware 3 times. Drinks also took forever. When our appetizers were brought we also had to ask for soy sauce- you would think with sushi they would bring it. Our meals were then brought and "an entree was taken by another server" so one meal at our table took an additional 20 minutes. By the time it was brought everyone was done. The waitress said dessert was on her.... well she brought our checks before even asking if we wanted dessert! Therefore we never saw that dessert! Our bill was $125 for 2 of us- we will not be returning. read more

Rented a space in the basement for an office meeting. Food provided was buffet style. We had a few main dishes, a few sides and two desserts to chose from. The atmosphere was good, but maintenance www working on the elevators in the room....so it was a bit distracting. read more

This was so light and refreshing for lunch. I got the tuna cubes - half order and a cucumber salad. Don't forget to was your hands and use the coconut scrub. It's all in the details. This was lovely. read more

After a year of frequenting this restaurant, my husband and I have watched a steady decline of the food quality. Tonight the tempura was thick and soggy inside the rolls. Quality proteins in the meal are being shorted. The Kani kami over loads the dishes in which it is served. For those who do not know, this is simply pollock dressed as crab. The service has never been great. Adequate at best. Being from the Midwest, we expect a more relaxed approach to service. However, Umi lauds itself as a more fine dining experience than it is. While I don't normally criticize, as I applaud all efforts toward great business, i just can't go there anymore. read more

This place is wonderful. The professional and courteous service, the ambiance, the incredible food.. definitely worth the higher price point. My boyfriend and I went here for his birthday and we thoroughly loved the experience. We had the veggie tempura- very good; The miso soup which had a deep and complex flavor; the chicken teriyaki split which was a generous portion; and an unagi and diva roll to finish it off. It was a wonderful dinner. I highly recommend the Umi 75 if you like fun cocktails. In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Fort Wayne by a long shot. read more

This was the best meal I have had in ages on the road. This one is in Fort Wayne and you have to try it if you can. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and it was incredible. The freshness, the flavors, the service was a solid five star without question!!! The only issue is after I cleaned my plate I wanted more but was stuffed. Excellent!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great food and great atmosphere!! Had a work program and all went great! Highly recommend for couples dinner to a large group function!

This is some of the best sushi we have had in years and we have had sushi in some amazing places! The flavors are amazing and the sauces are outrageous! Their specialty cocktails are terrific and every wait person has been friendly and knowledgeable We celebrated our 20th anniversary And don't forget the mochi. Mango was a favorite read more

I can't wait to enjoy this restaurant again. One reason I will come to Fort Wayne just to eat.

The food was okay but the portions were tiny my wife and I ordered 60$ worth of food and it did come near to being worth it. Called the manager who insisted he call me back with a solution it's been hours and I continue to wait. Will not be back and I don't recommend it to anyone else read more

This new restaurant has a great feel to it. The bar and bartenders are superb and the sushi and main course are fantastic! Give Umi a try and say hi to Colin in the bar for us. read more

So it's a Tuesday night, spontaneous time to go out and have a nice sushi dinner at the new hot shot sushi place in southwest. Now, with asakusa now closed, Umi's location is great, close enough to Jefferson point, not too far from the residential oasis of SW FW. The decor is above average, beautifully lit with an electric blue all around the joint, the menus are tablets, the place is clean. Does it need to be though? Because the sushi selection is bold but small: few deluxe and very expensive options. Our drinks came around rather quick, the green tea is very obviously store bought, but really who cares? It was the food that then took 21 minutes to arrive after being ordered. At 7pm. On a Tuesday. Restaurant only half full. They say hunger is the best sauce, the longer you wait the better the taste. Unfortunately the sushi was mindblowingly average. Not terrible in the slightest, but for what we paid, average won't really cut it. Umi is still new, and I would assume that they will fix a lot of these problems, I'm rooting for you, umi. read more

Excellent! Comparable to what I would expect in San Francisco or Seattle for Sushi. Food was excellent and the atmosphere had a cool and modern vibe. The service was fantastic. All in all, UMI is a sign that Fort Wayne is developing nicely! read more

We dined at UMI for our anniversary. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The service was friendly, but not overly effusive. Best of all was the fare. We ordered a number of different sushi rolls and sashimi. All the seafood was very fresh and the blend of flavors with vegetables and sauces was right on target. My only critique was that the drinks were overpriced for the size. Overall, a great experience and will go back again. read more

Absolutely enjoyed every dish. I was impressed with the lay out. It is a very classy place. I felt like a millionaire. A wonderful place. read more

Umi - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

The best sushi that I have ever had! The Dr. Singh is my favorite! Hands down my favorite place to get sushi not only in Terre Haute but anywhere! read more

I would never again order a steak at this Restuarant. The ribeye was thin and served luke warm not that good. Joseph Decuis has a better. cut of steak for a comparable price. Seafood was. excellent. Atmosphere excellent, service was excellent except water glasses were empty several times. Management was responsive and caring: . Private rooms minimums are too high. Appetizers were excellent. Food prep was quick and service was excellent. They only have 1 salad dressing and it's not gluten free. No soups are gluten free? Meal comes with soup or salad no other sides with main course. They did have gluten free soy sauce. Take home bags were grocery bags. Not great for a Restuarant of this caliber. I'll give them another chance but overall experience I would rate as good to excellent. read more

OMG. Finally got around to going to Umi and it will now be the ONLY sushi bar we ever go to in Fort Wayne. We ordered a spider roll, a spicy tuna roll, several types of cut sushi (anagi, hamachi, salmon, etc), salads and some tempura, and I can happily report that EVERYTHING was exceptional. Every item was up there with the best sushi bars we have ever been to on the west coast, east coast, any coast or major city in any continent. And we have had the good fortune to dine at many, many sushi bars. FORT WAYNE FINALLY HAS A BONAFIDE SUSHI BAR EVERYBODY! Umi literally blows Asakusa out of the water on every level, except maybe atmosphere (where both excel). Service at Umi was also exceptional (as opposed to that other place down the street, where it was both amateurish and inattentive). When you dine at Umi you actually get the feeling that the food is inspired. Just the right spices - some of them rather unique - prepared with a high level of care. Truly a wonderful dining experience. We will be returning to this fine establishment again and again and again. What a great find in Fort Wayne! read more

They have the best sushi in town in my opinion. And definitely one of the most creative creations I have seen in town. Definitely our family's favorite. read more

It's now one of my favorite restaurants. The food is wonderful, even if you don't like sushi, the serving staff the best and the atmosphere is very appealing. Umi's is must if you enjoy tantalizing your tastebuds with fresh, healthy foods. Try it you won't be disappointed. read more

If I could give no stars I absolutely would. In town visiting my parents and went in for an early dinner at 3:45pm. The parking lot was completely empty as was the restaurant. We inquire about a party of 6 and the young gentleman at the host stand asks if we have a reservation, we tell him we do not and he proceeds to check his system and informs us we could not be seated until around 7pm. We leave to find a different establishment. We decide to call to see if we could reserve seating for the same day within the next 15 minutes. The young host tells us on the phone that they would be able to accommodate the same party size we requested while in person. It was the most discriminating and uncomfortable situation to be in, and I am appalled at how such an establishment could have such a racist disposition toward a family willing to patronize their establishment. I or my family who are very well known citizens in the Fort Wayne area will never support this establishment, neither should you! read more

If you want a perfect sushi experience then this is the restaurant for you! Talk about class act, between the chic decor, the staff treating you like the only customer and the amazing back ground music, Umi's is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner, birthday celebration (there were a few going on while we were there) or a corporate dinner. The food was FANTASTIC! The portions of sushi were generous, the salmon literally melted in my mouth. My husband got a seafood entree and the scallops were succulent. I have to also say that the staff was too notch. They greeted us with smiles and welcomes and not the fake kind. Our server John was outstanding. Not only was he versed in every drink and item on the menu but he also was friendly and funny and he made sure we were enjoying our dinner without being over bearing. The last thing I want to mention is the cleanliness of the whole restaurant. The bathroom was immaculate and that rates huge on my come back list. I applaud the whole team as it is you who make this amazing sushi spot a class act. Bon Appetit!! read more

We have dined at UMI several times and we always have exemplary service and outstanding food. The steak, chicken and specialty rolls are perfectly prepared. read more

First time having sushi. Loved the diva roll and the chop chop. Great service. Very relaxing ambiance. Professional staff. Hot green tea was delicious. I would suggest this restaurant and plan on returning. read more

The food was great! Definitely recommend the Diva rolls. Staff was friendly and the service was very prompt. I will definitely be back!!!

I want to love this place, I truly do. I've been three times now and the first two visits were fine. However last night was very different. When we were seated it took nearly 10 minutes for a server to acknowledge us and when she did she seemed bothered by having to work our table. In addition to that, while I was waiting, I saw a staff member put his hands in the ice that's used to fill water pitchers. Apparently he just wanted something to chew on. I quietly and politely mentioned this to my server and from that moment on all I felt was contempt. In addition to this there were staff standing around playing on their phones. I suppose most of these issues aren't egregious but when put together, at a restaurant with this price point, I expect better. This isn't Applebee's. The food is great but the staff needs some work. read more

The service was top-notch! We could not have asked for a better server. The atmosphere was very nice. The sushi rolls were good, but we have had better at other local sushi places. The unagi, though, was delicious, and I think better than other places. read more

Great dining option for Friday lunch! Menu options many and service is efficient and timely! Our party of ten ordered a variety of dishes and we were served and out the door in about 45 minutes. The most popular choices were sushi and the Bento Box. The team from the office really enjoyed the change of pace! read more

I'm sure for many this is a fancy night out with friends or family, but that is because they do not know what a restaurant like this should be. The dishes were of low quality. Nearly everything from the soup to the entree were a disappointment. We were excited to try it, but ultimately it was a let down. In addition, the wait staff was mediocre and the manager tried to shuffle us out after only being there an hour. Our group was purchasing drinks and were enjoying a pleasant conversation, but felt pressured to leave. I would not return. read more

The best place in Fort Wayne for Sushi! This place is great for groups, or a dinner with a significant other. The menu is vast, offering a variety of options even for people who do not like sushi. Our favorite rolls are the Doc G roll and the Diva roll! Don't underestimate these rolls, they will fill you up. The atmosphere is wonderful, it's very clean and open, you never feel crowded. Also Umi has a very nice bar service to complement their wonderful food! Highly recommend this to anyone, sushi lover or not. read more

I had an early lunch on a Thursday. The food was good. Our waiter was attentive but not overboard. It's a brand new restaurant and they hit the atmosphere right in the head. It's worth a try. read more

This is a delicious sushi restaurant. Their tuna is out of this world. Always a treat to come eat here. By far the best sushi in the area.

We had a excellent experience at Umi! Sushi was fantastic and the service was spot on! We had 6 in our party so we had a table with three walls that was perfect for privacy and enjoying dinner. read more

Excellent food. My opinion is that it's the absolute best sushi in town. I bring a lot of folks here from out of town and the tuna cubes seem to be the consistent favorite. The atmosphere is really great too. Classy and upscale, yet not to the point it's unwelcoming. In fact the staff is very friendly and prompt! read more
