By far the best ramen around, actually the best food around! All of the food is so fresh, delicious and filling! The service is always great, very nice people! The vibe inside for a dinner is perfect, overall it truly is a 10 of out 10 everytime I go. I got the Korean spicy ramen with beef, pork egg roll and they even threw in a side of chicken dumplings because I waited maybe 2 minutes for my to go order! Very great restaurant with amazing people. read more

If you are looking for Japanese (Sushi) together with Korean and reasonable price please come here. The owner is very friendly, chefs are nice as well. We get free dishes often because they remembered us. We came here to eat since they opened. read more

Very good place. A good selection of sashimi and special rolls. Great service. I like the Korean menu as well. Having children is always tricky at these places and Umiya has a very accommodating kid friendly menu. The quality of the fish was solid. read more

The people that work here are always friendly. I have to admit that I don't like raw fish so haven't tried that but I love their chicken fried rice. They make it with all different kinds of veggies and will make it spicy for me. Their bulgogi is awesome as well. read more

My daughters and I had dinner at Umiya last night. This little restaurant had great sushi! We really enjoyed the North Lakeline roll and the Tuna roll. We also shared fried rice, the portion was on the smaller side but delicious! The spicy edamame, also very tasty. The only reason I'm not giving 5 Stars- slow, disorganized wait staff. Otherwise it was an overall good dinner! read more

Usually this place is pretty decent but on a recent dine-in trip, we had the complete opposite experience. We ordered yellowtail sashimi and asked if they could do a spicy yellow tail roll in addition to other items we had ordered. The yellowtail sashimi came out in the brown sauce with jalapeños and siracha on top which we did not order. I ate one order and asked my wife to try hers before we sent it back. I was able to eat mine but she preferred regular. We told the server about the mistake and he said he'd fix it and oddly, they sent the same thing back out again. I asked what the deal was and the server said "Different chefs do things their own way and I don't know what else to say." We just shrugged but when we received the yellowtail roll, something tasted off about the fish. It was at that point we realized that the fish was old and they were sending it out in sauce to cover that up. We also ordered the steak teriyaki meal minus the sauce for one of our kids. I verified with the server that they could do this and they said they could. He ended up bringing out chicken instead and said that the only steak they do is beef bulgogi which is pre-marinated. They took 10% off our bill which was less than the $50 in messed up food we got out of our $150 meal. Fifteen dollars off after all of the mistakes is not going to have me coming back. The willingness to try to mask old fish with sauce to get rid of it just goes to show that quality isn't a priority and to change the story on menu items after you've already told a customer something is shady. We used to go every couple of weeks but we won't be coming back again. read more

Sushi was ok. Wasn't what we expected. Ordered over Uber eats in search of good sushi coming from Nor Cal. Overall won't be coming back. The roll had avocado and seaweed wrapped and wasn't a traditional sushi roll....was missing cucumbers in avacodo cucumber..and miso soup didn't taste yummy read more

Fantastic sushi place! We love Umiya! We have always gone to the other location on cypress creek, but this location is much closer to us! Thank you so much Umiya, we love your ! Ps our Togo order was beautifully packaged too! read more

Honestly, they need to clean their fish tanks--it literally gross me out! I was pretty bummed because their food looked pretty darn good on yelp. I ordered the box meal and it was literally cold. read more

No focal point, sushi? Korean? What do you want to do? Do not get greedy, make your focal point which way you want to go. I hate HEB but admitting why they are busy because their focal point is nothing but "cheap price" thus people go there don't even care about service or quality including their horrible sushi. If you want to have nice Japanese sushi restaurant, you need to focus first. I'd rather go clean sushi bar in Randalls across the street. I love their rice! read more

I'm torn on this one because the sushi was good but the ramen had a weird taste. I think it was actual bone broth because it had a marrow taste with butter but it just didn't sit well with me. I'm not saying it was old but I'm also not ruling it out. The taste was just off. Nothing I've ever tasted in a restaurant had this flavor and it wasn't something pleasant but also not off-putting enough to not eat it. I had a belly ache right after I ate my food. That's why I give it 3 stars . The atmosphere here is very weird. They have many fish tanks lining the place but the tanks are 3/4 full, no aeration (bubbles) and the fish look miserably bored. Before today I didn't even know fish could look bored but these fish just look pathetic. The bathroom has a full on bedroom dresser in it with two bar chairs lined up next to it. I just don't understand the utility of these items in a bathroom meant for a single person to use at a time. It like the two chairs are there for people to wait, and watch you use the bathroom? Very bizarre. Definitely not my go to place in the future but I see many good reviews so try it out, you may enjoy it. Idk. read more

I enjoy this little sushi joint. I've had sashimi here before and it was good. This time I had a bento box and I was a little disappointed. The beef teriyaki bento box was good but there was more veggies than steak which I didn't like. I like protein with a side of veggies not the other way around. But they have good hot sake and a nice friendly staff. read more

Umiya Leander - Beef teriyaki dinner bento box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Leander, Texas

Put in an order and waited over 2 hours to never received anything. When I got to the restaurant an hour after the order was placed no one seemed to acknowledge me for 20 minutes. When interrupted someone they just says to wait 20 more minutes but didn't even check that my order was in. After 20 minutes I find out that my order was not even placed and now to had to wait another 35-an hour for my food. They didn't try to accommodate my order or do anything about the situation. Definitely not recommended if you want to be hungry in Valentine's Day. read more

I just love Umiya! I ordered through a delivery app and forgot to add extra ginger. I called the restaurant and the woman i talked to was super sweet (Taylor i think her name was) and said she'd add it to my order. Well I just got it and they gave me a bonus order of gyoza! So sweet of them. Seriously love this place :) 10/10 would recommend to anyone! read more

First time visiting Umiya. Walked in for a take out. Restaurant was small but nice and clean. Service was quick. Ordered sushi and egg rolls! Food was fresh and very yummy. Prices are also good. I Highly recommend this restaurant. If you love Sushi, it will not disappoint. read more

I am a sushi connoisseur and not only was this place one of the worst tasting sushi places but as soon as you walk in it smells dirty fishtanks....low n behold there was several dirty fish tanks in there. We barely could get thru one roll.... it didnt taste fresh and the rolls were very skinny in size. We grabbed check and got out of there. If you love some good Sushi this is not the place to go in my opinion. read more

On 2/15, we took advantage of a Valentines Day special being extended a day extra and tried out Umiya Leander, located on the SE corner of CFP & Lakeline. Granted, it's been about a decade since I broke my Uchi habit (Austin's top Sushi restaurant, arguably), and maybe we were just extremely hungry, but I was very impressed with Umiya. Your mileage may vary. My notes: Sashimi: * Madai:Red snapper with sea urchin (uni) (best of it all) * Hamachi: Yellow tail (awesome) * Sake |Seared salmon (super awesome) * Maguro | Seared fatty tuna. (Good) * Shime Saba | mackerel (awesome). * Zarigani | spicy crawfish (great) Sushi rolls (both very tasty) * Cherry blossom * Umiya read more

Umiya Leander - I believe this was the Umiya roll. What ever it was, it was very good. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Leander, Texas

This place had so many pros and cons for me. Pros: -The sushi is incredible here. This is definitely an awesome place to go if you love sushi and are looking for a good roll. I highly suggest Umiya for the sushi. -The kids meals here are so big and full of lots of choices for littles, which is awesome because kiddos get easily distracted and bored with food in general. -The hospitality here is awesome here. You can't beat Japanese hospitality and how polite and courteous they are toward their patrons. Cons: -Along with the kids meal, we got our little an Apple juice, which is usually included with kids meals. Here try charged $3 for Apple juice. -The ramen wasn't our favorite. We felt like the broth wasn't as creamy, rich, and flavorful as other ramens that we have had. We were also disappointed with the noodles, which seemed to be just like the ramen packets you can buy in the grocery store for 50 cents. Overall, this place started out with so much potential, and, to be fair, they clearly label themselves as a sushi bar, and that they do well. We will definitely be back to try out more sushi here, maybe around happy hour, but we probably won't be back for a full dinner. read more

Ordered through ubereats today. Got a beef bulgogi, pork katsu, and egg rolls. It was all still warm when it arrived. Eggs rolls were great, though I wish I had just a littttle more of that sweet and sour sauce. Beef bulgogi and pork katsu were delicious! Would definitely recommend read more

I order from here a lot and I appreciate that they have kept the quality up during Covid. Thank you Umiya.

We love sushi and this was probably the worst service and sushi we have had in TX. The server was so slow and he left the table without even getting our tables full drink order. The sushi did not taste fresh. Also, sadly it took 20 min just to split a check. read more

I'm so sad about my experience here. Their menu is great and most reviews here are pretty good... but I was beyond disappointed. I don't know why some sushi places use nori that is hard to chew through, but it was so bad I actually googled "Why is my nori chewy?" while at the restaurant to attempt to find an answer. Google tells me they are using cheap Nori, or it's old, either way YUCK! I ended up having to pull apart my sushi rolls in order to eat around the bad nori. I don't think I'll be going back, and that's too bad because its the closest sushi place to where I live. Umiya... Yelp... you've let me down!!! The best part of my experience was the Miso and the Salad, the orange ginger dressing was amazing. I will give them some credit there. read more

Our family just moved here from south Austin and we miss our favorite Japanese restaurant so much! We decided to get take out from Umiya and we are SO GLAD WE DID! Sushi was amazing and they were so helpful! We will for sure make this our new go to spot! read more

Another great experience in culinary! Happy hour prices are really good (in some cases +2$ off) . the starter, "Heart attack" was hot and flavorful. The spider roll is a great roll but our fav was the Godzilla. Enjoy! read more

Do yourself a favor and give this one a pass. Hella expensive for what it is and food quality wasn't all that. Staff that took our (large) to go order seemed very confused. Maybe they were new? There are definitely better options out there. read more

Best fried rice ever!!! Looked gourmet, with slivers of zucchini & sesame seeds. Service was great by some very respectful teens. I was offered complimentary edamame & a drink while I waited for a to-go order. Will be returning! read more

Was upset that my shrimp tempura roll and other sushi roll was large and the rice was on the inside of the seaweed. It was very hard to eat. Also the sauce was not flavorful. My veggie tempura appetizer has a bland dipping sauce and veggies inside we're still hard. The beef was too spicy as well. Overall when I pay $40 for lunch I expect better quality and taste. read more

So I just had my Covid- to-go birthday dinner from Umiya, it was so unbelievably good. We loaded up on nigiri that had huge portion sizes. The rolls were so fresh and flavorful. To top it off we found a nice surprise in the bag with a free appetizer. We will definitely be ordering again for our sushi night. Hhhhhhhhhh I want more!!!!!!!! read more

We tried this place last night, we will be back. We ordered a couple rolls and a couple appetizers, the prices were decent and the sushi was great. One of the guys had us try the lychee sake and it was sooo good, the sushi chefs were awesome they made a sample roll that was delicious. We went around 730 and it wasn't too busy so we sat at the bar. We tried to order a couple diff bottles of sake but they were out of stock, so we ended up getting the coconut one , not bad but def go for the lychee sake ! We're gonna try it again during happy hour Bc they have some good specials read more

The most depressing sushi I've ever had. Never coming back to this place. I asked for hot tea the tea was barely warm so as the complimentary miso soup. Thanks but no thanks. As for the service horrible, the sushi came out first, then the appetizer, then the drink?!! Speaking of which my husband asked for a coke and they gave him a can of coke w a glass of ice which half of it is already melted. The crunchy roll that we ordered has no tempura inside contrary to what a crunchy roll is supposed to be. Not even fresh.... Got a kids meal for my daughter and the fried rice that came w it was horrible. If you guys want good sushi. Go to Kai Sushi. It's way better. We went here on the first place because my husband thinks the place looks good based of the pictures. But it's not. read more

Every time we go they make us feel like family the food is always great the staff it kind and energetic. It's the perfect place for sushi

As lovers of sushi, my wife and I were invited by this new couple of friends to eat at this place up north in Leander. Oh boy! I've eaten in a lot of different Japanese restaurants everywhere. From the very reasonable to the fanciest ones. And this was one of the best experiences we've had. The ambient was cool, and the companion was great. But the service at this place was amazing. Fast and cordial. The dishes were impeccably handcrafted and the taste was perfect. When you try this place look for Anton, the best waiter ever. This guy knows how to please the guests; very professional. Pricewise, it's not bad at all. Give it a try and you won't regret! read more

Curious about trying sushi from Umiya, we ordered takeout late Sunday evening. Caterpillar, Philadelphia, Rainbow, Spicy Tuna, and Shrimp Tempura Rolls. So good! We were very pleased with the balance of rice to fish and everything else. For the shrimp tempura, I would have preferred not to have any mayo based sauce. I thought it was just going to have eel sauce as stated on their website menu. Later I noticed through their Cedar Park's Yelp photos that their restaurant menu says it would have 3 sauces. It still tasted good though. :) The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious! We will definitely order from here again. And thank you, Umiya for the complimentary yaki gyoza! read more
