Umi Sushi — Restaurant in California

So it's Christmas day 2020 and Umi Sushi has come through to help make this one of the best in years. As a Mom who is totally exhausted by Christmas morning, (any parent who handles 99% of the Christmas duties understands) making dinner is the last thing I want to do. That is why we always go out. This year we obviously could not, so I FB'd Umi in advance and they told me they would be open for Christmas, New years eve and New Years. FYI, they are also open for Mothers Day (wish I had known that sooner). They catered our Christmas with the freshest, most delicious and healthiest serving of sushi I've ever had in the central California region. I'm from the bay area, I've lived up and down the peninsula and coast and have visited all the great sushi spots, I would put Umi Sushi up against the best of them. A million times better than Mikuni. I've been coming here for 5 years now and the quality and quantity has always been beyond impressive. And the price can not be beat. We ordered 3 lunch boxes, Beef Teriyaki - soooo good, Mixed shrimp tempura and chicken Katsu (all served with basic california roll, miso soup (really good), rice and green salad. We also got a 3 maki roll special (2 tekka maki and 1 California roll #2) and one 2 maki roll special ( 1 tekka maki and 1 Hamachi roll) and each come with your choice of miso or salad. We also ordered a lion king, red dragon & ichibon roll (all of them are amazing!!!) and 2 extra sides of rice (my son can't get enough of their rice). It came out to a little over $100 with a 20% tip. Really? Amazing! If you love fresh sushi that doesn't need to be covered with sauce to hide that fact that the fish isn't fresh (although the sauced rolls are good too) this is your place. I've posted pictures of some of the sushi. Sorry I couldn't get all the food, it was devoured as soon as we got home. Needless to say, it was...

Good sushi for a great price!

The quality of fish is just as good as the best sushi restaurants in the Sacramento area, but at a much cheaper price.

Their rolls are a good size, delicious and have the best fish to rice ratio I've seen in area; which is important because if you're going out for sushi, you should pay for the fish, not rice covered in sauce.

They have a wide variety of rolls which are separated on the menu by the primary fish on the roll (i.e. shrimp, salmon, tuna, etc . . .) which makes it really easy for someone to find what they like.

Their happy hour prices are awesome too. My wife and I usually split three rolls and have a few drinks for a bill of about $32, not including tip. When we leave we're pretty full and feel very satisfied.

Lastly, the staff is very friendly. It's a family owned restaurant so the service can be a bit slower if it's full, but that is the same with any restaurant during peak hours. Typically, you can easily get in and out in less than 45 minutes without feeling rushed.

Overall, Umi's a great spot and I highly recommend it if you're looking for...
