Menu as of May 2026

Came here for the first time. Got the AYCE buffet and order a ton of food to make me regret it later when I'm staring at myself in the mirror without my shirt lol. Between my friend and I, we must've consumed a total of 50-60 sushis, 20 sashimis, 24 fried oysters, 5 steaks, 8 mussels, 20 4 scoops of ice cream, tapioca mango dessert, and probably a few more something that I can't remember lol. For $33, food was pretty delicious, but most of the fish was fresh. I enjoyed the Unagi and the salmon. They have a variety of sushis to choose from. Staff are friendly and fast. Food comes out pretty fast after we places it with our waitress. Lots of tables to dine on. There are individual private restrooms, but the one I used was super filthy and needed to be clean. Lots of parking in the area.

Overall a satisfied experience. The fish was fresh and I appreciated that the rolls weren't overly sauced. Didn't need to rely on extra toppings for flavor. If it wasn't for the inconsisitent service speeds, I would've gave my first 5/5. Pros: + Great variety for price + Seared options for lunch + Fresh fish + Rolls weren't overly sauced + Free parking lot Cons: - Too much rice in nigiris and was dense - Food was slower than I'd like. First round took ~ 20 minutes and it was an order for 8 pieces nigiri. Since it's AYCE, the pauses made it difficult to pace myself properly and increased the risk of going over the time limit. - Most rolls come in 8 pieces. For a solo diner, this makes it hard to try a wide variety.

Solid spot for all you can eat sushi!! Really enjoyed their speciality rolls and seared sushi! The sushi does have a bit more rice than I would like! Outstanding service! They would alway come right on time for another order when we would finish our last bite.

I finally had the chance to visit Umiya Sushi located off I10 and Wirt, in the same center as Love's Dumpling House. Some of my friends have been raving about this AYCE (all you can eat) sushi place so I took my family of four and decided to eat as much as humanly possible. We went on a Saturday for a late lunch (arrived at 1 pm). Parking is free and if you don't want the hassle of tight parking, don't try to park right in front and you'll be fine. Walk a bit. Upon entry, we only waited a few minutes and were seated at a table that technically fit 6. Service was pretty good. Unlike a buffet that I'm used to, the server takes your order and then delivers your food. They do this over and over until you're full. Overall I would say the service was good. As for ambiance - the place is quite big and pretty nice, I must say. It's not over the top, but they definitely put in some money to make the restaurant look and feel nice. Now for the food - I thought it was great. Tastier and higher end than a place like Kura, the $20 price for lunch is unbeatable for a Japanese AYCE place, and the variety of offerings was quite impressive. I thought taste overall was excellent and I would definitely come back again, maybe once a month, on a cheat day when I don't mind gaining a few pounds all at once. We tried as much as we could - hot appetizers, rolls, seared sushi, nigiri, soup, and even the desserts. Everything was great! Fish was fresh, hot food came out very hot, and rolls were packed with flavor. Hungry and got $25 in your pocket? Check out Umiya and you will leave very satisfied.

Umiya is one of my favorite AYCE sushi in Houston. Every time I am super hungry or craving a large amount of sushi for a good deal, Umiya is the first place go to. They have a lot of options from the sushi rolls to nigiris to other appetizers. Their seared sushi is fresh and buttery, and if you eat 10 alone, you are almost getting your money's worth! Definitely a must get when going. The yellowtail jalapeno is another favorite of mines and consist of yellowtail Hamachi topped with jalapenos, masago, and soy sauce. They have a variety of rolls to choose from, but I like the Hot Mama Roll. There is a fire sign nest to it, but the roll consists of hot cheetos and is not spicy at all. The Hot Mama Roll has a good mixture of textures with the crispy chips. The inside is spacious, and there is a lot of seating and parking. Service is dependent on how busy the day is with it being a bit slower on the weekends. Umiya is a nice place to visit for AYCE and has been my go-to for AYCE sushi. Make sure to come hungry and definitely try their seared nigiris!

Another Houston AYCE sushi place crossed off our list. Sashimi was a cut into nice thick slices, for our first round they survived it over ice. For the second round it wasn't. Rolls were traditional AYCE rolls, not much stood out in my opinion. Overall would recommend if you wanted AYCE sushi in Houston.

I've been debating all day about how I wanted to write this review. But since I am now on my second round of explosive diarrhea today -- Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant. There were two hairs in my Cucumber Salas. (I wish I would've taken a photo!) Something just seemed off. Even though the restaurant itself is spacious and decorated very nicely, I just don't think I would come back here. It's overpriced and the quality was not great.

All I could dream would be a more accurate name for this entire experience! I was hopeful that after the long drive, the food quality and quantity would be sufficient, it was far more than that! Out servers were caring and sat our group at a large table with both chair and booth seating. We were frequently checked in on and never had an empty glass. The menu was extensive and our server explained and answered all our questions. And the sashimi and sushi! What a selection and what flavors and textures! The pink lady roll and the yellowtail sashimi were my personal favorites, but everything was so good. The cuts of fish were fresh and generous. Standouts were the sesame balls, the fried oreos and the red bean ice cream.

I was craving sushi so badly, so we decided to come to Umiya for a night date. I did a lot of research on AYCE sushi around my area, and Umiya really caught my attention because of the beautiful decorations and how good the food looked online. We came around 6 pm and did the dinner option. At that time, the restaurant was not very busy, only a few tables. But around 7 pm, it became a full house. Trust me, come before 6 if you want a table without a long wait. The price was 32.95 per person, and soft drinks are not included. They also have a full drink menu and boba, which is a nice bonus. We ordered a lot that night and left extremely full. Everything we tried was delicious. I also loved how beautifully each plate was decorated. Every dish came out looking so pretty and fancy, it honestly made me feel like I was dining at a high end restaurant, not just an AYCE spot. One thing that really impressed me is that they also have seared sushi. I love that seared flavor, and Umiya gave me the chance to eat a lot of it, which really gave me an omakase style experience. The AYCE menu has many dishes that I have never seen at other sushi restaurants. That really surprised me in a good way. I usually get bored seeing the same options everywhere, but this place was different and impressive. I forgot our waiter name, but he was amazing. Very nice, attentive, and gave us excellent service. Even when the restaurant got really busy, he never made us wait. Every time we finished a round, he was already there to take our next order. When we left, there was a long line outside of people waiting to dine in, which says a lot about how popular this place is. Overall, this is the best AYCE sushi restaurant I have ever been to. It is probably my number one spot right now. Great food, beautiful presentation, and amazing service made the whole experience even better. I definitely recommend coming here, just make sure to make a reservation if you plan to visit on a weekend night because it gets very busy.

Very clean service nice

Very nice service clean restaurant. So many options and it's 20.95 ayce adult and 14.95 ayce kids

I went Saturday lunch for the AYCE deal. I really wanted love this place but was pretty disappointed. The sat lunch price deal was great as it was the same as a weekday deal, but the fish wasn't as fresh as the other sushi restaurants. There was a fishy aftertaste to the sushi and the flavors of the sushi roll were pretty overpowering or lacking. The seared sushi was the best as well as the tataki for appetizers. The ambiance was pretty dark inside and interior not as cleanly decorated as I wanted. The indoor ceiling lights were very loud and clashed with the japanese decor. Overall, the waitress and waiters were fast and attentive. But would like the interior and food quality to improve.

I'm all about the AYCE experience in my prime eating days, even an honorable founder of the Facebook group - "The BFF club" (Buffet Fans Forever) *it's really more of a joke among my buddies in college as we explore an AYCE place every month. The key for me in rating a good buffet has always been 1) freshness 2) selections 3) price to value ratio and 4) service. For my first visit here at Umiya, most of these boxes are checked pretty well. I like the a-la carte ordering process, there's a limit for the # of sashimi we can get but the food comes out quick enough. A solid variety of appetizers, rolls, sashimi and some noodle/rice dishes.. The star of the show has to be the seared sushi for me. The steak was tender, the salmon was tasty, everything was pretty good. (Look it's not Uchi or Azumi in terms of quality or presentation, but you are getting a good value play here). Some hibachi/teriyaki can be hit or miss but the the sushi/seared sushi makes the grade for me. Our waiter was very friendly and checked in with us often enough without the awkwardness of waiting/asking for more. The inside is fairly spacious, there's a bit of a wait for dinner rush on the weekends. Parking is convenient with the shared lot in the shopping center. Definitely one of my favorite AYCE sushi places so far in Houston. FYI save room for the green tea ice cream and the fried Oreos tempura.. worth the extra calories

Hot Mama Roll, Orange Tiger Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll

Hands down new favorite all you can eat sushi in Houston for an affordable price. Came with my hungry husband and son. They offer different price points for kids which is great compared to others. The service was on point. I never felt like we had an issue getting her attention. Our food came fast. The sushi tasted fresh. Nothing tasted fishy. The selection was decent. I really enjoyed some of the salmon options along with the fried Oreos for dessert. Now for the feel... fresh which was refreshing. Decent amount of lighting with space for tables. I didn't feel like we were on top of other tables nor in the way of anyone just sitting. Overall highly recommend.

Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.

Wow this place really blew me away. It's a near perfect spot for a business lunch or dinner (or if…read moreyou're willing to splurge with your own money for a good meal or a hot date). I wasn't sure what to expect based on the name of the restaurant, but essentially their seafood options are spectacular. And it feels like an exclusive club because the decor and service are both very much high class and special. We tried the coconut shrimp as the appetizer and really liked it. It was lightly fried and the shrimp was cooked to perfection - not under and not over. I would highly recommend this one to start. Loved it. If you're looking for a fair-priced meal, they have lots of salad and sandwich options. I tried the salmon poke bowl and it was so delicious. The fish was extremely fresh, and all the flavors blended together really well. It was like a healthy party in my mouth. It was great decision. You wanna splurge a bit and live large like YOLO? You gotta get the crab cake. Now, how good can a crab cake be? Well, if you're paying close to $50 for one crab cake, you better believe it's gonna be freaking awesome. And alas, it was. Best crab cake I've ever had in my life, no joke. And I've tried a lot of crab cakes in my many decades of dining out. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back many times. Enjoy! Quick note on parking - plenty of parking in a huge lot shared by many businesses such as Kenny and Ziggy's. Only annoying part is several sections of the lot are designated for specific businesses, so just look for the signs and be willing to park a little bit further away towards Taco Deli and Bluestone.

Our server was upbeat and knowledgeable and gave us his recommendations which I greatly appreciated. The coconut shrimp batter was tasty and crispy and the shrimp was perfectly fried. I ordered the crab cake based on my yelp research and the servers recommendation. The crab cake was the best one I've ever had. The amount of crab was generous and the seasoning was outstanding. The freshness and quality was very obvious and it was served with crispy fries that was an outstanding pairing. My diagnosis: gorgeous restaurant with outstanding seafood; the crab cake is a must order!

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!
