Can not beat the 50% off rolls Monday- Thursday! We love ordering them to go and enjoying it at home. Their soups are also really good. Service can be ok, but for what you're paying, not worth complaining about it. read more

Food is good there or to go 50 percent off lunch sushi rolls. Great deal. Very nice waitress I also had the salmon sashimi. And a cold can of golden oolong tea!!! All delicious. read more

I had never been here before when my spouse asked to try it out on Tuesday evening. Im not a sushi person but they have other foods for people who dont like sushi! My spouse got two diffrent sushi rolls and I got a bento box. I ordered the Honey Spicy Chicken Bento Box with Gyoza! It was so yummy! I am a fairly picky eater and the texture of the chicken was perfect! The Gyoza was crunchy and flavorful! Our waiter was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. She had a great personality and was overall just a pleasure! The restaurant was clean and relaxing. The decor was nice and eating here was just an overall great experience! We will definitely be back! read more

Still love this place, I've been coming to this restaurant since 2015. Food always taste fresh. The prices are fair especially their 50% off menu during the week. read more

I have been going to UMI'S Sushi for many years and always order the Titanic Roll with the salad and soup to go. Tonight my Titanic roll was the ultimate best that I have ever had! This Sushi Chef the best! Umi has always been delicious ! Give them a try! read more

Welp. This place felt below average. I do want to point out that the service here was great. Service was attentive and friendly, and definitely busy. So I admire the service work ethic. For that reason, I'm not lowering my review. Now the food... I order a shrimp appetizer and it felt bland. The sauce was way too sweet. For almost $9, it certainly felt like a rip off. Then I got a salmon katsu bento box and half of the items weren't good. The Salmon tasted bland and the katsu sauce tasted nasty. Surprisingly the rice was good. I found it warm, and fluffy. The California rolls were the worst rolls I've ever had. The crab had a weird taste with the sauce they had used. I think Safeway rolls tasted better imo. The salad was good. I enjoyed the sesame sauce that was used. Not sure if it's authentic Japanese but it was tasty. My bf roll was incorrect. His was suppose to be deep fried but it was not. He had also said his rice tasted as if they used tap water. Other than that, for the bill being $50, I would say it's not worth your coins. With that money, I much rather spend it elsewhere on knowing the quality of the food is tasty. They do have good days during the week (excludes Friday- Sunday) though with rolls being half off. read more

Service and food is great but the music they used to play made the place 10x better, now it's kind of boring.

Thinking about sushi and a good deal stop in. The service was very on point. We never worried about an empty glass or what to order. Our server was very attentive. We watched the game, drank sushi bombs and gobbled down a few rolls with fried tempura. Oh the miso soup was pretty tasty too. My dinner partner said they have really good deals on rolls on certain days. I think he said Monday through Thursday but im not positive. We went on Sunday and I didn't pay so I'm not sure how much dinner cost. Definitely going again and wanting to try other options. read more

Half off rolls Mon - Thurs! However most of the half off rolls are the less desirable ones (fried, lots with cream cheese, etc). But you absolutely can't beat the pricing here, Sapporo draft for $3.25? Sign me up! Staff / service was great too. Def my new spot. read more

The food was not good. The scallop appetizer was all fried crust with tiny bay scallop inside, which had an off taste. The rolls were actually bland. The service was great. They are friendly and it didn't take long to get our food. read more

Love love the specials during the week. Very friendly staff and quiet chill vibe when there. Always a quick go to.

I come to this spot for one main reason: the music is always perfect. The sushi is good, the prices are solid, but the playlist? That's what keeps me walking through the door over and over. read more

Delicious Sushi! My favorite rolls are the Mexican roll and the Crunchy California Roll. Service is always nice and the ambiance also very calm. read more

Definitely our go-to spot when we are in the area. It's yummy and affordable. Love the chirashi over salad. Scallop lovers, shrimp lovers roll. Portions are great and friendly service. read more

I know people go crazy over this sushi. It was just ehh for me. I think the lobster roll across the street is way better. our server was fine. She just didn't know the menu very well. The side salad is not a traditional Japanese sesame sauce , rather, it's sweet. I do not care for that... but if you do, you will love it. I'm also the girl that doesn't care for sweet relish or miracle whip either. If you do... that's your prerogative, but it's not for me. It was sooo cold in there too. I like to be warm and toasty while eating so I can take my coat off. It was raining outside and they had door open. We did ask them to shut door as they sat us near it. I guess I would give it another try... maybe I ordered wrong? read more

Excellent sashimi salad, and the crunchy Alaska roll is one of my favorites. Attentive server, and family friendly. There's a sushi bar!!

It's literally been years since I've eaten at this restaurant since there are so many Japanese restaurants now in Modesto versus way back when I moved here in 2003. Decided to try this place on a Sunday at 440 pm since my Go to Japanese place - Sushi Garden wasn't open yet and I was already hungry and wanted to try this place again. First time I tried Umi Sushi was when they first opened years ago and the waitresses were likely the owners. Never did get hooked enough to make this my regular place for sushi. First thing we saw on a Sunday was at the door, they had the "Mask required" sign and so I had to get me and my wife a mask from the car before entering. Once we did, I noticed that cold, unwelcoming feel and realized when me and my wife sat down, that the sushi chefs who were working the sushi bar, didn't give a customary greeting of "Irrasshaimase" which means "welcome, please come in" that's often said in MANY Japanese restaurants but not this one. (One star) Menu was filled with pages of sushi with pics which can be overwhelming to say the least. I decided on Super California roll, a Tempura roll and my wife got the Caterpillar roll. Reason she got this was from the menu photo which showed it looking like a caterpillar with eyes. When we got the 3 rolls, my wife noticed hers didn't look like the photo and brought it up to the waitress. She agreed that it would have been nice if it was made like that but I guess the sushi chef was lazy. To be honest, the rolls weren't that great and looked all very similar.... For whatever reason, they were all drizzled with soy sauce. Please look at the photos. The sushi rice was a bit too firm almost like it's been sitting for a few hours and wasn't fresh. The sushi itself wasn't anything to brag. I'd give it 2 stars for all 3. Even the ginger given initially with our plates was limited for having ordered 3 plates of sushi. I had to request more just because I do like my sushi with a lot of ginger. Overall, I wasn't impressed at all with their rolls and not sure if there was a change of ownership since my last visit years ago. I guess there was a reason why I never did go to Umi sushi all these years despite it being one of the places my employee would go for lunch some time. I honestly doubt I would ever go here again unless all the other Japanese restaurants closed shop and this was the last one standing in Modesto. Maybe if the sushi chefs would have just said "Irrasshaimase" when we entered as a patron that I would have given them a chance with their rolls but this place failed in so many ways. Even the tempura ice cream was less to be desired. Two stars read more

My husband asked if they could remove avocado from his California roll in his bento box due to a food allergy and was told no because it was "complimentary" even though we were paying for the meal. Also, my husband accidentally spilled some water on the ground, started cleaning it up with a napkin, and then the server came over and handed him more napkins to keep cleaning the floor and walked away. I've never experienced a server not helping clean up a spill. Awful customer service! read more

Service is okay, We did come in at 8:40 but they did have a couple tables and a large table. The restaurant is cute and have a cool sushi bar and very good music. It's pretty clean inside and fresh. I had the bento box with two choices and i choose teriyaki salmon and California rolls at $18. I was only given two sushi, next time I'll do the $14 option of just one choice and order a hand roll. Salmon teriyaki was so good, the salad was fresh, and it came with rice. My husband had the special and it was really small, so if you come for the special it is significantly less then paying for a full price roll. Tempura was honestly the best part of the dinner, crunchy, good mix of veggies, and the sauce was perfection. My friend had a regular roll and it was pretty tasty as well. read more

The new online ordering system is absolutely horrible. I used to love this place but now they changed a great system to save money and half the time, your order says completed and when you get there to pick it up, they never got it. The food I'd good but the to go orders are often wrong. I'd give it 5 stars or at least 4 but this new system doesn't even allow you to see the ingredients in any of the food. Either you better know the menu and know what's in the rolls or you're ordering blind because the new system is cheap and makes you just want to go somewhere else. read more

This is my girlfriends favorite sushi place in town. I'm not a big sushi guy. I will say that even if you don't like sushi they have other options. I've had the teriyaki chicken, salad and miso soup before. I would say this place is solid. Lots of choices for different rolls. read more

The new online ordering system sucks. The food isn't bad but unfortunately their online ordering has no details about the dish you're ordering. No description, nothing. Just an item name. It doesn't even allow you to pay for your order. read more

Can't say I'm a fan of this place. Even though price is very reasonable, the rolls were poorly made and couldn't stay intact. We also waited for about 20 minutes to get our food (after the lady boss noticed that we've been sitting there for a while) Food: 1) Crazy Scallop Roll - can't taste the scallop at all, only cucumber and sauces 2) Sushi Boy - taste almost the same as the first one 3) Mushroom bomb - more breading then mushroom Meh I'll pass read more

Nice little place, been here a few times but these past few months this place has tanked. Today we ordered a few things they made my teriyaki chicken with the teriyaki sauce on the side like they wouldn't even pour it into the bowl, do it yourself. Then my mother ordered sushi, and after a while she was like why is this spicy, and the waitress exclaims that they used siracha sauce instead of the normal sauce because they were out. Tell your customer that your out of something don't just substitute it on your own. Will never come back here again. read more

I ordered two rolls; dragon and a custom roll.. both were very mid. The salmon on my custom roll was way too rubber like. The avocado on both were way too mushy and brown. Coming from someone who has worked at Kimoto, Osaka, and JP Asian Fusion, I genuinely don't think I would ever be back here for any rolls. Glad I gave it a chance but it's not my cup of tea. No flavor at all unless you order something with spicy mayo on it. $38 for two rolls, and only 3 pieces were touched. Only reason why I gave an extra star was because the employees are very sweet! Also who the heck puts crushed unagi inside a dragon roll? I'm still baffled, first place to ever see anything like that rationed. I didn't just pay for cucumber and rice I paid for the unagi and avocado as well lol read more

Sushi is priced good when 50% off rates are active. Sushi was gross & service is complete garbage. Waited 15 mins before even being asked what we need or if we have been helped yet. Horrible customer service. I rather pay higher prices if that means better customer service. We will not be returning here ever again. How does this place stay open?! read more

I don't know what's changed since the last time we've been here (it's been a while) but this was a horrible experience. Both servers didn't care to attend us. My kid even had to ask "when are we going to get our menus" since it had already been a while since we were seated. Very monotone customer service. When we requested some sriracha we were given a very cold "sure." You almost feel guilty for even asking. I'm sorry but we won't be coming back. We should've known better the minute we walked in and we were told "sit in the middle table." No greeting. No acknowledgment. The vibe was completely off. Food was okay. But obviously we go for good food and good service. Wasn't the case here. read more
