    Everything about Umi was perfect. The drinks were amazing, the food was amazing & the service was worth every cent. We came to celebrate a birthday & they took amazing care of us. The wagyu nigiri is to die for. I could’ve kept ordering it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone curious to try it & will definitely be returning myself.
