    A Decent Sushi Spot with Friendly Service and Stylish Touches Our experience at Umi Kitchen and Sushi Bar was overall pleasant. The pricing felt average for a sushi spot, and the food landed in that same category--solid, but not exceptional. We ordered the Himachi Supreme ($18 for 6 pieces) and the Yellowtail Collar. The Himachi sashimi itself was fresh and enjoyable, but what stood out most was the sauce--it was beautifully balanced and really elevated the flavor of the fish. In fact, we found it much more complementary than the sauce that came with the Yellowtail Collar, which leaned too sweet and strong for our taste. As for the Yellowtail Collar, the grilled fish was decent, though a bit drier and less flavorful than we hoped. Personally, I'd opt for Black Cod or Butterfish miso over this dish in the future, as those tend to be juicier and more delicate in texture. Despite that, the overall experience was still good. The restaurant was clean, and service was attentive and friendly. I don't think we'd go out of our way to return, as the food was relatively standard compared to other sushi and sashimi spots we've tried. However, for a small bite near downtown Spokane or Riverfront Park, it's a convenient and enjoyable stop. One thing that stood out in a great way was the interior design--I really liked the modern lighting fixtures hanging overhead. Their varying shapes and heights--some resembling ovals, spheres, UFOs, or vases--added a fun, stylish flair to the dining space. There's also outdoor seating, which is a nice option, though we noticed a lack of umbrellas, making it harder to find shade on sunny days. Final Thought If you're in the area and looking for a quick sushi stop with good ambiance and service, Umi Kitchen is a decent pick. Just don't expect standout flavors beyond the Himachi Supreme.

    While shopping in Kendall Yards, Mary and I stopped in for the first time. There is a modern upscale feel. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated. We ordered the Godzilla roll and Alaska roll; both were fresh and delicious. Get in here and give them a try.

    Best sushi spot in Spokane! Super fresh and quality sushi. The menu has a vast variety of rolls + fish options, as well as other options like stir fry entrees, bento boxes, appetizers and more- options for everyone. I recommend getting a reservation because they have two small rooms that fill up fast. The servers were super attentive and quick to get our food out + you can see the chefs making the sushi. Highly recommend!

    Hands down.... Fantastic spot! Spokane role (modified to soy paper, add shrimp tempura) is my new FAVE!!!! The tuna nigiri was fall off the fish fresh. And all shashmi and my husbands rolls were excellent paired with an old fashioned. 11/10 recommend!

    Umi Sushi bar is the place to go for good and big sushi rolls that will satisfy that belly. The service is fast and efficient and the dine in experience is very welcoming for any occasion.

    Sensational experience right on the river with some of the best sushi and crab rangoons I've ever had. I've tried many Rangoon fillings in my life and this was in the top 3 easily. Wonderful service with Marlena. A cozy modern fusion restaurant in a nice area.

    $99 bill but was charged for over $300

    Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. We get seated and our drinks and appetizers ordered which came out pretty fast. We finished our appetizers and sat around for 10-15 minutes before our server came back to actually take our food order and she leaves not to be seen again for 15-20 minutes at minimum before our food came out. We finished our meal and the table was cleared of any dishes. Now the real horror begins. We sit for over 25 minutes waiting for our check! I could see our server looking at us as she helps everyone else so i finally grabbed another server to get our check who immediately brought it to us and I hand her my card. Waiting, waiting, waiting another 15+ minutes so we check our bank to see if the charge was even pending yet and the same they finally came back and handed our check to us as we were talking about our bill. THEY CHARGED US FOR SOMEONE ELSES MEAL!!!! Our total was $100 the charge on our account was for over $300! Will never return here again and will steer people to the many other and better options for sushi. Only positive not was it was decently priced. We had three rolls, two appetizers, soda, and nagiri/sashimi combo and it was only $100

    Dry pot

    Located in a very cute downtown Spokane neighborhood. The restaurant is pretty small, but it had a lot of good choices. As a relatively big group, they were able to piece together some tables so we can all sit together. The food was good but very overpriced in my opinion. I got their dry pot which was delicious (though it could use a lot more spice) and a lot of food. My friends got sushi which all looked amazing.

    Chicken chow mein
    Melissa R.

    First time in and I cannot say enough positive things. The servers and the host we interacted were both so friendly. The restaurant is very family friendly. The restaurant itself is a little smaller and the back patio is for 21 and over. For sushi we ordered: spokane roll, spicy tuna roll and the rod roll. We also ordered fried goyza & chicken chow mein, our daughter doesn't eat sushi yet. The portions for the chow mein are HUGE! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, highly recommend!

    Salmon Roll

    Excellent salmon roll and sashimi combo. Very good service and overall ambiance. Definitely a recommended restaurant in Spokane, WA!

    No idea what this is!

    Near downtown Spokane and plenty of free parking. Sat on the patio. Was greeted promptly and had our drink order taken. Server was pleasant and helpful. I do not eat Sushi so cannot comment on the taste of the food or even what the sushi they ordered was! The did enjoy it though. Said it was very good. I had a teriyaki chicken with rice and veggies. The veggies were sparse in this dish. The chicken did not have much flavor. It was just ok for me. Husband ordered a sake. It came in a glass? Never seen that before. Worth trying again.

    Food was superb - we ate in the bar and it quite honestly was so loud we could not hear each other but the service was amazing and we will definitely be back! I give it a four stars because of the noisy atmosphere

    Godzilla Roll (up front) & Spicy Scallop Roll (in the back) ... and lots of extra ginger!
    Marc H.

    Searching for reasonably priced sushi revealed Umi on Yelp! I had to try it. There is an upper and lower level. I entered the upper level just before 5:00 P.M. on a Sunday, and it was fairly packed. No worries, they sent me downstairs, and I sat at the bar below. There were a number of tasty looking rolls on the with menu. I ordered the Godzilla and Spicy Scallop Rolls and a seaweed salad to start (they don't have a ginger salad). All three were fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back.

    Beautiful ambiance. We ordered vegetable tempura and gyoza…read more I enjoyed them both very much. My husband was not impressed with the vegetable tempura as the veggies were cooked until they were soft, he prefers vegetables to be more al dente. I loved the vegetable tempura however and did not feel the veggies I tried were too soft. My husband traded his miso soup for my mushroom and onion soup. I tried both and they were both delicious but he does not enjoy miso soup while I do. I ordered the filet and lobster combination dinner with white rice. The filet was delicious. The lobster did not taste fresh. It was pretty fishy tasting. I told the waitress who promptly apologized and offered to replace it with a different item. She took the lobster tail and I agreed to switch it for the shrimp. She brought the shrimp out to me just a few minutes later and it was very delicious and tasted fresh. The veggies served with my dinner entree were so wonderfully flavored and cooked just how I like. My husband had the pad thai with beef and he loved it so much. This was our first time coming to Shiki and I must say we will definitely be coming back. Overall wonderful service and aside from the lobster everything tasted so good.

The appetizers are awful. We got the combination, the fried tofu was bland and flavorless, the mini egg rolls tasted heavily of dirty fry oil, the gyoza were the best of bunch; crispy and good flavor. The sauces were bottle but again that doesn't matter much to me. The sesame balls were once served with salted coconut cream but now with a whipped cream and served on a bed of cabbage(?) I had the Washington sushi roll. It was beautiful and honestly I've yet to have sushi here that isn't beautiful. The fish was fresh and the masago was crisp and salty. The pickled ginger is spicy and tangy and pairs perfectly with the creamy imitation crab filling. The sweet and sour chicken was saucy and sticky but not very crunchy. It's good but not great. The tom kam gai is a sour soup with slight coconut undertones. It contained noodles, carrots, cilantro, a mushroom, and chicken. The noodles were okay but the chicken was very dry which a bit crazy cause it's in a soup(?) The Lion King roll was interesting. I found the cream cheese mixture to be too much and paired with that fishy taste of the cooked salmon was just okay. The egg flour soup was thick and tasted heavily of veg. I liked it but wouldn't order it again. The thai teas are so perfect! Balanced perfectly between herbal and cream! I will mention though the fish and veg are really fresh along. I will also mention the presentation of the meals were gorgeous!
