    I truly adore this place. I like how the place looks, how it feels, and the spot by the beach. Watching the worker in the center make the food is entertaining and reassuring to the quality. The prices are not bad either. I crave this place.

    Must stop when visiting Yorktown!! This is a tiny little bar-style seating sushi shop in the Historic Yorktown area. It is ran by one man, the owner Aang (unsure on the spelling) who was so kind and welcoming. He makes the sushi rolls/platters fresh to order and whips them up so fast.

    This is the crunchy California roll 6 ps. This was so good I ate some before I could even take a photo! The only thing is that when I walked in I wasn't sure what to do, It was my first time there and he was busy so it's okay!

    Shrimp tempura roll & California roll
    Caroline J.

    First time here... It's small inside with only about 9 seats around the sushi bar. I do believe that there is outside seating but not positive. I ordered my rolls to go, and the woman who took my order was very sweet and my food was ready to go when she had told me it would be. I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and a California roll. Both were fresh and delicious. Will be back to try out more of their sushi!

    Wow! What a great find. Owner is so nice and sushi perfect. Wonderful spot for a meal.

    California Roll and Salmon/Avocado Roll!

    I had an amazing time at Umi Sushi! From the moment I walked in the staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and made fast. There's a very friendly and fun environment inside! Will definitely be back soon.

    Meet the Chef who made a special roll for my daughter on her birthday. You can't beat the personalized service!

    The service here was personalized and welcoming. The Chef made a special selection and rolls based on what we liked. I can't say enough great things. The atmosphere is laid back and casual. The Chef was friendly and amazing. If you have time to chat and eat, this is the place to do it.

    The food was excellent, and service was wonderful. It's a quaint intimate space, where the chef makes the rolls right in front of you. He's very friendly and super talented. Highly recommend!

    This is a hidden gem on the boardwalk of historic Yorktown Beach! Tiny little place with odd hours, but super quaint and the quality of the sushi is amazing! Great selection of sake as well. Husband and wife team own and operate it. It's a must try if you're in the area. Not ideal for large groups unless you want to sit outside on the back patio (there is only sushi bar seating inside, enough chairs for about 8 people total).

    I really hate to be that person, but, Umi Sushi, what happened!? Don't get me wrong, this is one of the most aesthetically pleasing sushi joints I've been to in H.R, located within a cute colonial style house boasting the authenticity of a sushi spot straight out of Japan itself, Umi Sushi ticks all the right boxes. The combo deal sounded great, and I was ready to dig in to my meal - we were ushered to sit outside, thankfully it was a nice day, but when I saw a few measly pieces on a styrofoam plate coming towards me, I have to admit that I was rather gutted. I had high hopes, but they were slashed by what felt like a samurai sword (that was probably also made of styrofoam...) laced with disappointment and regret for driving all the way here. The mochi came still in their wrappers... I could have driven to Tokyo Market a couple of miles away and bought a 20pack for the same price of the three handed to us, again, on a styrofoam plate.. The quality of the fish was second to none, but it lacked presentation, which makes you really notice you probably spent more money than you should have. The lady who served us was ok, but it felt like she didn't want us in the restaurant and wanted us outside - we were the only two customers... I left with disappointment and regret for driving so far and leaving hungry - I could pay the same amount at my local sushi joint in N.News and walk away stuffed. I won't be going out of my way to come again, sorry Umi.

    Chef's choice! Delicious

    My son and I love visiting Yorktown and a big reason that we do is because we love this sushi spot! This family run business always provides us a warm experience and the food is delicious and fresh! We will be back! Thank you

    Assortment of saki and wine
    Raechel A.

    Stopped in here for some quick sushi, and it was awesome! The owners were super friendly and accommodating. The small establishment only has about 6-8 seats for guests, so not very good for groups. We had three people in our group, and there was no one there, so we lucked out. The sake selection is massive! A whole wall of different sakis and wines to purchase. I didn't get a chance to really look at the selection, but it's worth a look if you like that sort of thing. The sushi selection is pretty good. I got my usual unagi roll and a tuna roll with avocado, made spicy, since they didn't have a legit spicy tuna roll. All my rolls were delicious! Paired with a hot green tea, I was one happy camper. If you're strolling along the beach, and are in the mood for some sushi, definitely check this place out. I think they also do carry-out sushi too.

Thai Tara had been our favorite place to dine in Williamsburg... ...until last night. There is one simple reason that it has fallen off our list: Outrageous prices that are constantly rising. We have visited this restaurant biweekly for the past year since we moved here and at least twice on every visit to Williamsburg since the restaurant opened. What we have noticed is that the prices are going up at a far higher rate than general inflation. We started to dine at Thai Tara when it first opened a few years ago when it cost us $40-50 per person. Slowly at first, it became an expensive treat. But last night we were handed a bill for $70 per person; for 3 of us, the bill came to was $215. Nothing extravagant. Three $6 beers, three appetizers and a few pieces of Sushi and Sashimi. And for the first time in memory, the sushi rice was not properly seasoned and sticky, which makes for a poorly prepared product. But this review is not about a single disappointing food experience which is certainly the exception. This is about the outrageous prices. It is our opinion that pure greed is on display here. They fill the restaurant several times over almost every evening. They won a Best Restaurant honor recently. So our guess is that the owners have figured that they can grab for more profit and if they lose a few patrons, no big deal. They just need to keep in mind that many of their close-by loyal neighbors who are on a retirement budget and frequented this establishment, and are coming to the same conclusion. Thai Tara is overtly overpriced. So sad to say "so long ", Thai Tara. You have priced yourselves out of our budget.
