    Umiya is one of the best all-you-can-eat sushi spots in town! The restaurant is clean, and the decor is thoughtfully designed. The food quality is excellent--the sashimi is fresh, and both the hibachi and fried udon are full of flavor. Their lunch and dinner menus differ quite a bit, so I highly recommend the dinner menu if you're a big sashimi fan. As a bonus, when you order several pieces of sashimi, they often surprise you with a beautifully plated presentation, which is a nice touch. However, on my recent visit, I noticed the sushi pieces have become noticeably smaller than when they first opened. The quality is still great, but the portion shrinkage was a bit disappointing, so I could only give 4 stars.

    I love sushi buffet so I will definitely be back. I'm excited to keep trying different things each time!! Service is great and the decor is so cool. I'm a tad addicted to the shumai so I definitely need an order or two to myself of that. I love trying the different stuff here and I look forward to returning and trying everything. They recently added ramen to the menu and I just... no. I even got the spicy one and it was just so bland and tasteless- and definitely not spicy. It's also huge so if you're ordering it as your food it's great but as part of the buffet it's way too much. It genuinely felt like a waste of stomach space that could've been used on delicious other stuff.

    Teriyaki chicken bento lunch special, spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls

    Got a lunch bento box and 2 sushi rolls for lunch today. Everything about the food was aggressively mediocre and bland. The teriyaki chicken was incredibly dry, and the sauce had little flavor. Stir fried noodles were as basic as it gets. Gyoza was over fried, dry and bland to the point even the sauce didn't help it. California roll was oddly chewy and had almost zero cucumber. Spicy tuna and salmon rolls were both really bland. No chili, green onions, or sesame flavor at all. Just minced fish and mayo. Only positive things I can say is the vegetables weren't over cooked and fresh tasting and the shrimp tempura was decent. It's a lot of food for your money but honestly still not worth it to me. I typically go to Red Koi for a lunch special and will continue to do so.

    Absolutely amazing, and not just for Memphis! The service was great, the food came fast, and the options were endless. Definitely worth the money and will be coming back!

    Excellent service from the moment stepping into this establishment. This was our 1st visit and we enjoyed the atmosphere, our very friendly and attentive server, and of course all the delicious food. We picked the all you can eat menu and had fun ordering items throughout our dinning experience, giving us a relaxing experience. The food runners are polite and quick to take away empty plates, to keep our table clean and clutter free...thank you! We thought everything was fresh and delicious. Next time, we will come and enjoy the happy hour specials.

    My husband and I have been waiting to try this new Japanese restaurant since it opened. We were drown to the variety of foods that you could secure at relatively cheap price point. We went to dinner which is $30 per person. I started with miso soup and the shaggy dog rolls, which were similar to California rolls. Both were tasty. On the other hand, the hibachi rice was just OK. My husband also got a few different rolls and rice, all of which he really enjoyed. We skipped dessert, but that was an option on the menu. We went on a Thursday evening, which is a slow night. It seems, but our food came out relatively quickly, except for my husband's last order which never came. We waited for about 20 minutes and then they said something was wrong with the original and they were remaking it so we waited another 15 minutes and then we decided to just go. The house was fine and the service was also fine. The drinks were not the best. However, the bartender did recommend a cold sake that had a milky texture. It was fantastic (though overpriced). The ambience is nice, especially for a quick date night during the week. I did see a couple people as well who brought children, so it seems to be family, friendly as well. I hope to go again and be able to update this review with more glowing feedback. It has potential.

    This is, by far, the worst sushi I've ever had. I've eaten at a dozen + sushi restaurants in Florida (finally finding my one go-to), so maybe that's why I find this sushi insulting. Where's the fish? It's all some sort of fish salad. Even the cucumbers aren't chunks, but tiny slices (which makes it super watery btw). I've NEVER had a bad rainbow roll (it's so basic; how do you mess that up?) - til now. The "spicy tuna" roll had no spices on it. I looked. And, it smelled bad. Not fresh at all. I couldn't finish my meal. I've tried two other ones in Memphis area so far: Takashi Bistro and Red Koi. Try Red Koi. It's the best I've found so far. This stuff is cheap, bad sushi for $20. But I spent $70!

    AYCE sushi has officially landed in Cordova, and it delivers. For around $30, you get an impressive spread--from fresh sashimi and hibachi to creative specialty rolls that keep the orders coming. The crab puffs are a must-try: perfectly crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy center packed with cream cheese and crab meat, easily some of the best we've had. The Yellowtail on Fire was another standout with bold flavor. With this much variety at this price, you honestly can't beat it. We'll definitely be back.

    Saturday afternoon before dinner hour, 4pm. The food is made fresh and you can taste the difference. Fried rice with steak is good. Sushi rolls are made different but very fresh. The avocado piece were larger in size than in other sushi rolls. Arnold Palmer is good. Eggrolls a bit underwhelming but good. Service is great, food continues to come out hot and fresh. Price point is good too for all you can eat at $30 which includes hibatchi itema as well.

    If you're open to a buffet-style situation, then this will be a fine experience for you. You order what you want throughout the meal with the idea that you shouldn't be wasteful and order more than you will eat. The service is great -- very attentive and helpful with recommendations. The more traditional rolls and sashimi were great. Some of the specialty rolls were also solid but others were a bit over the top for me.

    What a fun concept! All you can eat, made to order (as in not a buffet). Small bites so you can try many things on the menu. Tons of options - soup, salads, appetizers, main courses, sushi, dessert. We ate a lot more, but have a sampling in our photos! Everything was delicious. I will say the broccoli tempura and the spring rolls were a bit soft/squishy. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our meal. $29 for all you can eat is also delicious lol! Our server was on top of it, absolutely incredible. The decor is fun! We will definitely return!

    We decided to give the new all you can eat restaurant a try as our daughter was in town for college and loves sushi. The restaurant is super clean and nice inside and had an excellent vibe. Our server Chris L. Was brand new, but super friendly and helpful. Our daughter got the all you can eat buffet which is $28.95. Make sure you come hungry so that you can take full advantage of all the restaurant has to offer. My husband and I ate off the regular menu and were very pleased as well. The fried rice had a great flavor and the gyoza was crispy but still really good. All the rolls that we tried were of great quality as well. We will definitely be back again. Not sure How many times we could do the all you can eat, but the a la cart pricing is comparable to other Japanese restaurants in the area. Give them a shot if you are in the area.

    I really enjoyed my experience here! It's such a cool and laid back vibe. They have good food and…read moreservice as well. I went for lunch and enjoyed the salmon hibachi. It came with miso soup, a salad, salmon, rice, and vegetables. It was so tasty and well seasoned that I didn't have to add any sauce. It was also very filling. They have a full sushi menu that I'm interested in trying. However, during this visit, I got the spicy crab roll. It was good and just enough to satisfy my sushi craving. The waitress was very attentive. She checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. Love it!

    A bit of a head-scratcher with their closing times…read more.. I walked in at 2:00 PM on a weekday, expecting to get a quick lunch since their posted hours say they are open until 2:30 PM. Apparently, that is not quite how it works here. The hostess explained that the posted hours are "off" and laid out a pretty confusing timeline of how they actually operate: At 2:00 PM: Dining inside officially ends, because the servers stop working. Until 2:15 PM: You can still place a to-go order because the kitchen is technically open. At 2:30 PM: The restaurant actually closes. So, if you arrive at 2:00 PM, you are strictly limited to takeout. It is a bit frustrating to be turned away from dining in a full half-hour before the scheduled closing time just because the staff is already winding down. If the dining room closes at 2:00 PM, it would be a lot easier for everyone if they just updated their posted hours to reflect that.

We had the classic mane ramen and chicken rice bowl with maybe too much yum yum sauce. Maybe. Both worth a return visit by themselves. Server was kind,prompt, and personable. Side note. Ramen broth reminded me of a Polish soup named Rosol. So much. Highly enjoyed.

We also really liked the decor inside the restaurant, but this time we actually dined on the patio, which made for a nice change of pace So we ordered the wings, and they absolutely delicious --we liked them so much we ordered a second round. The crawfish dumplings were also solid, but the wings were the standout of the meal. We also tried the Bake MF Margarita, which I expected to taste like tea, but it's actually a refreshing peach-flavored margarita. At about $22, it's generously sized for two people and definitely worth trying. Our server, Mason, was very nice and made great selections for us. Overall, I'm giving Good Fortune Company (4/5). The only reason it wasn't a perfect score was the missing Slap Noodles. Even so, I'd happily return and hope to try them next time. Next time im ordering Ramen!
