This place has been my sushi sanctuary for years. I order the same roll (Lady in Red) 90% of the time because if it ain't broke, don't fix it--and once again, it did not disappoint. Always fresh, always delicious, and always worth it. Also, their Happy Hour (4:30-6:00) draws a crowd, and for good reason. Three big groups were already on it while I was there. If you haven't hit up Umé yet, treat yourself--it's worth the trip!
Consistently fresh sushi. I always order their house salad, with house dressing. Service was great, server patient with our family. Tables were spaced out and didn't feel crowded.
As a Chinese-American, I've eaten plenty of Asian dishes, from sushi to pho to stir-fry. I have to say, this visit to Ume on March 12, 2025, will be one I remember for a long time. I ordered the Tempura Udon and shared the Agedashi Tofu with my family. Each vegetable and shrimp were perfectly fried and crunchy, and the soy dashi broth was so comforting on the rainy night we visited. The way the tofu was prepared was unlike anything I had ever tasted. Delicious! The restaurant owner also took the time to visit our table to ask about our meal. We appreciated the personal touch! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.
We haven't been back here in a few years. Not for any particular reason, we just sort of forgot about this restaurant. We finally went the other day, and it was so good. Our waiter, Eric, was very friendly and helped make good recommendations. We did a sake flight cause why not and the spicy tuna sliders. Everything was so good. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later this time around! :)
A hidden gem in Windsor. We're visiting the Santa Rosa area and decided to visit Ume. We were not disappointed. Our waitperson Eric was great! Very attentive. There were many delicious choices on the menu. Something for everyone in our party. The owner, Kelly, stopped by every table, including ours to check on the customers. You get a sense that they care about the quality of the food and service they provide. We'll visit again when we're in the area!
One of my favorite sushi restaurants. It's always delicious and the staff are so nice. Been going here for years. Would recommend. The poke bowl is great.
The food and service here is wonderful! My boyfriend and I ordered the margarita shrimp, dragon roll, and rainbow roll. The margarita shrimp is so cute and comes in a margarita glass. It is so good, especially when you dip it in the sauce it comes with! The vibes here are also excellent. We sat at the sushi bar, but the tables have a really intimate candlelit atmosphere. Highly recommend for a date night! We usually go to Haku for the convenience of their hours, but think we might try to come here more often instead.
While raw fish items are luxury foods, I do not eat them. Now tempt me with tempura, rice, salad, and other items that are cooked, even briefly, and have me caught in your culinary hook. I arrived for an early dinner, and everything went just right. The hostess/server was lovely. Friendly, warm, and very professional. I tried the special yuzu cocktail and give it 6 stars, minimum. Accompanied that with a shrimp "cocktail" in a martini glass that was perfect with the cocktail. My entree was tempura shrimp and veggies. Crispy, tasty, as tempura should be. The restaurant has a spare Japanese decor, which is most appropriate. Yes, worth a visit!
This is a nice place to have a sushi date. Fish quality is good and fresh. The place is very clean & service was good. We started with tempura as an appetizer and then we went for the sushi. We also ordered a yellow tail collar & it was very good with the ponzu sauce that they seasoned. The baked Lion is a definite must for those who don't like to eat raw food lol. We also ordered the salmon skin hand rolls which were yummy.
