    If I could give this place 20 stars, I would! Everything was just perfect--from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome and at home. The service was excellent, very attentive and friendly without being overwhelming. The food was amazing--fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Every dish we ordered was consistently good, and you can really tell they care about quality. The ambiance is always a favorite--clean, relaxing, and perfect for spending time with family and friends. We had such a great time and created beautiful memories here. Highly, highly recommend--this place never disappoints!

    Wow! Hubby and I came for lunch last week and we were absolutely blown away! We were doubtful that an AYCE (all you can eat) experience could deliver top quality but Umiya showed us they can. Everything was excellent! We'll absolutely be back!

    I love this place, always fresh food, kind servers, fast service. The place is dimly lit but clean and just enough light to see what your eating, it makes for a nice cozy spot to enjoy good sushi and a great ALL YOU CAN EST selection of sushi.

    My partner and I always drove past this restaurant and said "We should try that place!" We had it for this first time today and it exceeded our expectations. Whoever was in charge of the interior decorating did an excellent job. The AYCE sushi was $33 a person and the selection was almost too much. We ate the food so quickly that there was no time for photos. The lychee martini was delicious. There's truly something for everyone here and we will be back!

    Just to update a favorite place of mine and as a regular patron- we ate here 3 weeks ago and the fish arent that well. They taste very fishy, though they didnt smell it seems like the fish have been out in the open. Ordered seared sushi and it didnt even masked that taste so what more for the regular unseared. I addressed this concern to our server but just want to be transparent as well to be sure this gets the proper attention thru reviews like this. Morning staff is different and I dont see anymore the regular/og ones that usually serves us but have no complaints with the new ones (except that they always forget or miss some parts of our order from time to time), they are ok but the older wait staffs pays more attention to detail into what your concerns and knows what to suggest when you crave for customized roll. (Though the past 2 new wait staffs are so knowledgeable of the menus and their taste like the different ramens they currently offer) My complain rounds down from tuna, white tuna, red snapper, salmon so I'm assuming that it has something to do in how they prepped them vs the delivery batch of fish? But lets see next week.

    Sushi was great and our waiter Ivan was so nice and very attentive. The dining area was very clean and the fish tanks were awesome. I would highly recommend Umiya for a great selection of fresh sushi.

    Greasy dried out and disgusting
    Jackie H.

    This was the most disgusting crap I have ever had. Umiya has completely gone downhill since they took over Asian City. I ordered combo fried rice, hibachi fried rice, one order of steamed dumplings, and chicken lettuce wraps. I can't begin to explain how bad this was. The chicken lettuce wraps were literally just hot chicken dumped on top of wilted lettuce, no sauces, nothing to make it edible. The hibachi fried rice was disgusting, greasy, and tasted awful. Everything was soggy, greasy, and completely unappetizing. For how expensive this was, they should be ashamed. Gross. Needless to say, the entire order went straight into the trash.

    Came here with a few buddies a couple weeks ago, and it was fantastic! Our server Kelsey was a top-notch host and was super kind and patient with us the whole time. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the seared salmon sushi. Very glad I got the buffet option. 10/10 experience!

    The food was delicious! A dinner AYCE sushi with seared nigiri! I have never seen that before! They also have hibachi as an option. The waitress was very knowledgeable and professional. The ambiance was pretty casual and the place was decorated nicely. They have two small bridges connecting to the entry doors where you can see fish! I am definitely going back again to try out the specialty rolls at lunchtime.

    Menu

    The sushi is so good here! Lots of items to choose from and the service was fast and extremely pleasant! Went here for our anniversary dinner and our experience was great! Will definitely keep coming back!

    So far so good. Food was good. Some items had a slight fishy twang. Service was great.

    Great food overall!…read more The food here is definitely great--lots of choices and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. You can tell why this place is popular. The service could use a little improvement during busy times, and the ambiance felt a bit crowded, but that's probably because so many people enjoy coming here. Overall, still a very good experience and worth visiting for the food!

    Honestly, I'm very skeptical about buffets and the quality of food, but this is the first buffet I…read morethoroughly enjoy and all the variety of foods they have to offer. This place is a bit far from central Houston and central north Houston, but it's such a great gem! It gets quite busy but they have a number system where you walk in, check in and get a number, and then you get called. It gets pretty busy but the line goes by fast. Parking is also a bit of a hassle as the lot is very small for the amount of people which is a downside. The Chinese food they have is so so, but the seafood is where it's at. Their crab legs are always so fresh and sweet, and rarely salty. We also love their crawfish as it's full of flavor, fresh, and always piping hot. Their sushi selection is decent and also pretty good quality for buffet sushi. The seafood reminds me of Las Vegas buffet quality. Dessert selection is ok. I just go for the ice cream and some fruit and that's pretty much it. Inside it does get pretty hectic and everything is fast paced, but that's good if you want to eat the most you can in such little time! The servers are always attentive and take away empty plates, refill drinks, and are happy to assist with anything you need. All in all, this is a great bang for your buck if you want a good variety of food with amazingly fresh seafood.
