Payday lunch with my coworker! We were quickly seated and our server was very friendly. We both ordered the all you can eat (AYCE) lunch special, with cups of water. At $21.95, you get your money's worth with just (2) Chef's Special rolls! This information isn't readily available on the provided menu; I'm basing this off their online ordering prices. I started off with tuna tataki (2), spicy tuna nigiri, and red snapper nigiri. The toppings on the tataki were refreshing against the tuna. On the flip side, the spicy tuna nigiri had a nice kick to it. The red snapper nigiri was solid, but outshined by the tuna. I ordered green mountain, shaggy dog, and rainbow rolls after that. Green mountain was fresh, not too spicy! My tastes are veering to away from heavy flavors like spicy mayo or cream cheese currently, but I still enjoyed this one. The "crunch" in the description could have been crunchier for better contrast, but maybe it's an aesthetic thing to look like "snow" on the green mountain. The shaggy dog roll was my absolute favorite this visit! This roll gave me the crunch I was looking for in the green mountain roll. The flavors worked really well together. Rainbow roll is always solid! The white fish topping was my least favorite of the four, but every bite was fresh which is why it's such a staple roll. I was slowing down at this point so I ordered dessert at the same time as my last roll: fried oreos (2) & green tea ice cream and the spicy crunch roll. The spicy crunch roll was fine, but same issue with the green mountain roll of the crunch and mild spice. I really like spicy, so this may be hot enough for someone else. I also add wasabi to my soy sauce for a different type of spicy. The fried oreos had that classic light breading typical of tempura and complemented the green tea ice cream well. I may try other ice cream flavors next time. All in all, I'd come back for this deal and try more rolls. Cheers! read more

Tried a new spot with a friend. (Photos include all food that came to the table) The atmosphere was very energetic and fast paced. The inside was beautiful but the seatings felt a tad crowded and around dinner time it can get a little loud. The food was really good. I really loved their miso soup. Their rolls were really good as well. I think the mango one was my favorite and seaweed salad was yummy. Usually I'm not a fan of seaweed salad but the flavors weren't overpowering or soggy. They have a lot of options but if you're gluten free it is very limited here.. The only thing that was a little concerning was the lack of knowledge for gluten free items. The waiter had to go back and forth to ask someone which I really appreciated but it would be nice if they were a bit informed to avoid food reactions for people who have an intolerance /allergy. Aside from that I think it's a great place to try. read more

Recently I came here with a friend to try something new. We came here around 6pm on a Friday night and it definitely did get crowded pretty quickly. Thankfully we were able to get seats since it was only two of us. The place itself had alot of seats and i did like to atmosphere and the look. Even though there were alot of people it wasn't loud and can hear eachother talk. We did have a small table next to this purple ish light (sorry for the photos the lamp didn't really help but the food was pretty). The waitress was very friendly and helpful. My friend who has a glutten allergy had alot of questions but the waitress was patient and made sure to offer her good options. I ordered a 'mango delight roll' which had snowcrab, mango which didn't sound good at first. However, after I tried it turned out to be delicious. It wasn't overpowering with fish or sweetness but the mango was light and complimented the roll well. Definitely worth a try. I also ordered a sushi pizza which was also good. Although I see it more as sushi nachos as the ingredients were on a chip, it was good overall. My friend ordered a shaggy roll which was also good. Since it had shrimp tempura she asked if she can substitute it with another meat like crap or shrimp not fried and the waitress was able to accommodate that which was even better. We did have a few appetizers as well. Usually I dont really like mussels but was suggested to try their popular item the New Zealand Mussels. It was actually really good. Loved the seasoning and sauces they used and looked very pretty. Their seaweed salad is also worth trying if you get the chance. Overall it was a great experience and enjoyed my time here. I definitely recommend any sushi lover to come try this place. Be aware this is a buffet so make sure to confirm the price (lunch and dinner are different) and also don't order too much. If you dont eat it all or leave a lot of food you could be charged extra so pace yourself. read more

They even made our sins a cool personalized scoop of ice cream read more

Umiya Sushi is a good spot for the lunch buffet, especially when dining with a group. There's a good variety of sushi and other Japanese dishes, so everyone can find something they like. Dishes come out fast and are very well displayed. The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff does a nice job keeping things moving without rushing you.

Always skeptical of all you can eat but this place BLOWS IT OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!! Sushi is fresh and not skimped on w toppings and sauces. The portions were great! Everything came out so fast and warm if it was supposed to be! Our server Vania was 10/10! So kind with our big group. LOVE that you order with a person and not a piece of paper. Absolutely would recommend. The price for dinner is like $30 per person but it was sooooo worth it. Note only took a few photos bc I was EATING read more

AYCE Totally worth it. They bring the food to you. It's not a buffet. I appreciate that greatly. I don't like others touching my food. The servers are so friendly, and helpful. They take their time & answer questions about the food & drinks. They'll also take the time to help you open the bottles if needed. #iykyk Try the strawberry soda. I think my two favorite rolls are the Lexington & the Harbor Rolls. The Lexington is a warm sushi roll, while the Harbor Roll is not,but it is loaded! I can promise you will need a nap after eating here. I have not had a single bad roll yet. I have come two weekends in a row now. Absolutely wonderful staff & exceptional food. I'll continue to come back. They're expanding here in town, & in 2026 they'll be opening one off of 151. Now, to get them to being one to Brooks City Base area. read more

In the mood for sushi, decided to check this place out. We opted to sit at the bar as there was a wait for a table. Our bartender was Juan. He was attentive and friendly drinks were always refilled and Juan made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. I took off a star due to the long wait it took for some of our orders to come out. It is all you can eat, but it took about 15-20 minutes to get our orders of sushi after each round. I would come back as the sushi was great quality and tasted amazing! I will try their lunch next time as it was about $10 cheaper than dinner. read more

We just ate here and the food was amazing, however the best part was our server Hailey! It was our first time eating here and she was so patient with us and our wild one year old. As a mother herself, she had brought us items that were useful for our child before we had even asked! She made sure to explain the menu, gave us recommendations, and she made sure to check on all her tables attentively. Definitely worth the price for the great food and amazing staff! read more

If you ever want to experience the cuisine on a Caribbean cruise, but are concerned about getting seasick, then I have just the place for you, Umiya Sushi Seafood! Umiya is a one price "all you can eat" restaurant with a wide selection of menu options to choose from including various appetizers, Hibachi, Teriyaki, Tempura, Sashimi, Sushi rolls and a few desserts to complete the meal. I compare the experience to a cruise ship as the taste is similar to what you will find when feeding the masses. Good, not great, but I was not expecting much more, so no huge surprise. It's a good place to try a variety of different foods without worrying about an out of control bill at the end of the night. The service is outstanding and the waitstaff are literally power walking from the table to table. Even though the food is prepared freshly, it comes to you fairly quickly which means they can turnover customers at a fast pace. Besides for the entryway and the giant Hello Kitty near the front door, the decor is geared towards families and birthday parties. Because of the fast pace of the workers, you do feel a bit rushed to eat and move on even though you are not pressured from staff to do so. read more

Honestly the best bang for your buck AYCE sushi spot in SA. Sashimi isn't always the freshest but they have the best appetizers, hand rolls, and overall variety in menu selection for an AYCE sushi place. Consistently solid and the dim lighting makes it a nice casual dining place. Service has also always been very fast and attentive every time I've gone. read more

Asian food was surprisingly good by Texas standards... coming from an Asian-American who is based in SoCal and went to school in NorCal... ermmmm. also, the fried ice cream Oreo cookies whatever was not worth trying because the saltiness overpowered the comforting sweetness of a yummy dessert. servers were nice and quick with the guidelines of how the AYCE dining experience would work. came with a big group of 10 people, but these waiters and waitresses were quick to clean our table and serve us up with the next dish that we ordered. very tight set-up with chairs and tables because you could barely get through the rows. not surprising considering how sought-after this place is for newcomers to San Antonio. the cheap AYCE of $25 is enough of a reason to wait in a line of 30 minutes (I.e. You did walk-in instead of reservation). this place did not rush you to get out, though, so makes sense for the wait! if you want to take a break while dining, you can even walk around outside to make more room for the food. I jokingly made that suggestion before I ordered, and the staff was accommodating about it. I ended up eating like 7 plates of sushi :P read more

Came on a Friday for lunch and was seated quickly. They have all you can eat, plus Indian lunch specials and roll orders. We opted for the all you can eat in order to try a bigger variety. The price was on-par with other places we have visited. I recommend this place for the vibes, variety, and presentation. It is one of the better sushi AYCE and everything is made-to-order. Notice that there is a LOT of rice in the sushi orders so plan accordingly. However, once seated, no one greeted us for at least 5 minutes and many waitstaff walked by without so much as a greeting. I walked back to the front to ask for a reseat or assistance and was advised by the manager that I would get moved. As I walked back to my seat, I was greeted by our waitress. We were reseated near the top of the sushi area and had a waitress come without a few minutes. There was no menu given to us and no greeting or asking if we had ever been to the restaurant, etc. I suppose I am used to basic customer service skills and perhaps asking for too much. However, our waitress was efficient and took our orders in a timely manner. The menu is extension and note that there is no sashimi option on the all you can eat buffet. We tried sushi, rolls, appetizers. The food tasted good with mostly fresh-tasting fish. The eel was slightly softer than what I've had at other places. The salmon had a texture slightly softer and less flavorful than expected. However, everything was presented well. The rice in the sushi was fresh on our first order and slightly harder and more tightly pinched in our second. The strawberry ice cream tasted light and the green tea was flavorful, albeit a little more on the bitter side. The ice creams were not as creamy as some other places I have tried. The ambience was amazing with beautiful lights, decorations, and a nice and airy feel. They also had a sushi bar in the back along with an alcoholic bar. Very fun and beautiful vibes. read more

Had the all you can eat buffet with my lovely. While I originally thought $30 a piece buffet was to much I was able to see the value by eating over 8 plates of sushi, 2 plates of ragoons, and a bowl of ice cream. The vibes were fun and the service was solid. read more

Umiya is one of my go-to sushi spots in San Antonio! I love that it's all-you-can-eat but not a buffet -- everything is made fresh and brought right to your table. The service is always on point, and even when it's packed, they're super efficient and friendly. I've been here so many times and it's always consistent. Some of my favorites are the oyster roll, sweet potato roll, tamago, sashimi, cucumber salad, and all their specialty rolls. And don't skip dessert -- the matcha ice cream is the perfect finish. It's a great spot to bring family or friends because there's something for everyone. It's also a good option for takeout. read more

We decided to go to @umiyasatx for dinner tonight and it seemed like the whole town had the same idea. It was busy! Jacky was our server, but many others brought our different orders. Dad and Hubby each had the Miso Soup. Hubby and I each had the House Salad. I had the Tequila Sunrise, one of the specials for Saturday. Dad had the Shrimp Tempura. We shared the Salmon Mango, Yellowtail on Fire, Tuna Carpaccio, Calamari, Unagi, Escolar and Tamago, Pink Lady Roll, Spider Roll, Steak Hibachi, Shrimp Fried Rice, and ended with Green Tea, Chocolate, and Strawberry Ice Cream. Full tummy and it was all good! Stop by and check them out! read more

Note: This review is about the a la cart service as opposed to the AYCE option. Surprisingly good sushi place! It's large, with the ability to host groups of 8+, and with more techno music than I'd expect. But the service was fast and friendly, and I was impressed with the sushi roll selection. The two standouts where the crawfish roll (you better like it hot!) and especially the tempura oyster roll. If you're looking for something different and savory, give this a shot. This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

I always love coming to umiya when I'm craving sushi. There all you can eat is totally worth it and your able to get a little bit of everything. This place is super big but does get busy around the evening time so can expect a little bit of a wait.

First time going here this week but not really sure about it . Sushi tasted watered down and no flavor . You can do the all you can eat for 31..95 which is anything on the menu but we decided to do ala cart as we were not all that hungry . We will give it another try when in San Antonio next and I sure hope it's better . The waitress was very nice and checked on us several times . Restaurant is clean and looks Like a great place to set at bar and have a drink and a roll . read more

I've gone twice now to Umiya and it would not be my first choice for AYCE sushi, but still still a decent option. Their speciality rolls are really unique and tasty (some). The main thing stopping me from going all in is their fish quality. We tried a lot of the cold apps and I didn't quite like any of them. For some of them the fish felt like it had been sitting in the cold for too long or semi seared too much that the fish wasn't soft / melty anymore. Their surf clam is a bit chewy, salmon is good. I also really liked their fried oreos, probably my favorite part. Don't think I would come again, but I always like to experience different AYCEs so I recommend trying it if it's nearby to you. read more

Wanted to hit a lunchtime all-you-can-eat sushi place with my wife and Umiya had good reviews. We were not disappointed. Very quick and friendly service both with the table and service staff.

Given the limited number of truly authentic, high-quality sushi spots in San Antonio, Umiya Sushi stands out as a solid choice for AYCE sushi. If you're craving sushi and want the best bang for your buck, this is easily one of the top options in the city. While the sashimi isn't always the absolute freshest, the variety and quality of the appetizers, hand rolls, and specialty items more than make up for it. The menu is extensive for an AYCE spot, and there's always something new to try. The dim lighting creates a relaxed, casual dining vibe that's great for dinner with friends or a low-key date night. Service has always been fast and attentive every time I've visited. Some of my top recommendations are the Mango Salmon, Yellowtail Jalapeño, Pepper Tuna (my favorite), Tuna Tartare, Salmon Tartare, and pretty much any of their hand rolls. read more

I met my daughter and son-in-law here for lunch earlier this week to celebrate a birthday. When I saw it was an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I was pretty disappointed. Typically, those types of places are pretty 'meh'. I was pleasantly surprised to find the food here is actually good. I ordered a shrimp tempura appetizer, a couple of the rainbow rolls, and one other roll whose name I can't recall. I was also happy to discover they'll customize the rolls. I don't like cucumber in my sushi rolls. I've been to some places where they won't make those kinds of changes. Here, it wasn't a problem. Anyway, good food for good value. Can't ask for much more than that. read more

A really strong 4 star rating to this lovely establishment! We chose this place on a whim driving by, and couldn't be more happy about that decision. There's an outdoor patio, huge indoor bar area, a hibachi area, and regular dining tables/booths. Suffice to say, this is a huge space! Lots of pretty hanging lights. Really busy fun atmosphere. We did all you can eat at dinner time for about $31 per person. It included appetizers, soups, salads, sushi and a portion of hibachi. Great value! The servers were ON it, keeping up with the orders. The kitchen was a little turned around dropping off the food to the right person at the bar, but it was all the more fun. Long story short; order the Mussels! The Philadelphia roll. Lobster calaca roll. Crab puffs (crab rangoon). Fried Shrimp. Spicy Garlic edamame. Yellowtail. Peppered tuna. Only two things were a miss for me; the spicy crunch roll- not crunchy at all. Actually too mushy to enjoy. And the paradise roll. Wasn't bad, just not for me! First time having a SWEET sushi roll, though! Still an experience. I had a great time and I loved the value for the price. Call me the Terminator, cause "I'll be back!" read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday, but left feeling like I should've been arrested for daylight robbery. $20 for a bottle of wine? In this economy? I almost asked the bartender if they were sure. Felt like I was committing a cheeky heist--one glass at a time. I'm a "if you're not early, you're late" kind of bloke, so naturally I showed up 30 minutes ahead of the party. No worries though--posted up at the bar with my hot date, bottle between us, soaking in the scene. Bar staff? Top-tier. Bar itself? Massive. At least 20 seats, like they were ready for the Rat Pack to walk in. Once our party of seven rolled in fashionably late, we shifted to the table. All-you-can-eat sushi on a Saturday for $21.95? That alone deserves a slow clap. Most spots reserve those deals for weekday lunch breaks when I'm chained to a desk. But Umya? They get it. They're for the people. My haul? Four rainbow rolls, three nigiri (tuna, eel, and salmon), and a bonus bottle of wine for good measure. Everything was spot on--fresh, flavourful, and faster than a hiccup. We had one fella at the table who isn't into sushi (we called him a coward, naturally), but even he was taken care of with hibachi chicken and shrimp. Bless him and his baby taste buds. Service was rapid, our waitress had eagle eyes, and we capped the carnage off with ice cream like civilized animals. Umya, you've earned yourself a repeat customer--and probably lost money on me. Cheers. read more

Was recommended this place by a friend for a date night so I decided to bring my wife one evening and since then we have been back at least once a month. Yes, it is all you can eat, but everything is made to order so everything is fresh and very delicious. Service is slower than your usual all you can eat sort of place but it's important to know that this isn't a buffet it's an all you can eat and there is a difference. I have yet to try a single role or item on the menu that was mediocre. Everything is delicious, and the staff is so patient welcoming and lively! I'm very excited they're building another location by 151 in Hunt Lane but I don't mind the 30 minute drive to this location honestly, it's worth it! read more

We were immediately seated upon entering on a Monday late afternoon. Nicely decorated interior, with TVs all over the place. Mia was very friendly and provided good service. We ate a ton of food, and most everything was very good. The only thing I thought was strange was the shrimp tempura, more like a cornmeal batter than tempura. Having your choice of sashimi or sushi is convenient. Specific items to mention are the yellowtail, red snapper, salmon, baked mussels, miso soup, crawfish hand roll, unagi, fried and hibachi shrimp, and tuna carpaccio. But, everything else was also excellent, besides the aforementioned shrimp tempura. The ice cream was smooth and creamy. Overall, a great meal and fun visit. read more
