UMI by Eden

Place is elegant and chic. Came here for sushi. Sushi was good, but I usually prefer fresh fish not masked in so much sauce. Service is quick and friendly.

If it were just about the sushi, I would give this place four stars, but honestly, I just wanted to leave pretty quickly after we sat down. Of course, getting seated, even on a Tuesday night with only two parties in the room was quite an ordeal. We walked to the bar and were told we needed to check in at the front desk. No one is there. We wait. We wait. A few minutes later a woman comes down and asks if we have a reservation, we say no and ask if it's OK to sit at the bar that has no one seated at it. She pulls up her computer, studies it like she's about to get a slew of reservations, and says that's fine and then proceeds to ask us a bunch of questions, our name, our phone number and explains she is doing that in case we leave something. Ok, but this is taking awhile to just sit and we've got a movie. Finally she walks us over to the empty bar. The bar stools are these very beautiful but supremely awkward configurations that are impossible to scoot up or move straight once you sit down and have receded foot rests so you are basically hanging your legs off. There is not a perceivable purse hook. The music is blaring techno. It's just all wrong for a Tuesday night vibe. We order from the sushi chef and that's fine. The sushi is expensive but not bad with good quality and some innovation. I really like my handroll. But we've only had a few pieces of sushi and we need to leave to make our movie on time, just around the corner. I'm still very hungry. We ask for the check and if it's possible to get separate ones not thinking that's a big deal on very slow night with only two of us. We are told by the hostess who is now serving as a waitress? that they don't do that. She gives a very long explanation about too many parties on busy nights all wanting checks and intimates it's a pain for her. She tells us the management decided that if they let people do separate checks during the week, they expect it on busy ones so they just don't do it. All in all, a pretentious, too loud, too fussy, too expensive restaurant that doesn't seem to be created for diners and has a lot of procedures that affect the dining experience. With so many options in the vicinity, like too many, this is not the one to spend your money.

Umi by Eden is an absolute gem! The sushi was incredibly delicious and fresh, with reasonable prices that make it even better. The vibe downstairs is immaculate, with a dark, modern feel that adds to the overall experience. The music is great and the drinks are strong and delicious! Even more delicious than the food was the service by our waitress, Amy! She was so nice and made some great suggestions that enhanced our meal. She was such a delight and we hope to see her next time! I 100% recommend coming here and trying Umi. You won't be disappointed!

Yes yes yes. A perfect evening!Our sake and sushi were fantastic! We ordered specifically from the Chefs recommended menus. The dishes were imaginative and delicious.

Umi has only been open for about a month. The original eden burger is now completely at the 3rd floor and Umi by eden takes up the entire first floor. The seating is a mix of tables and lounge style. They also have bar style seating in the middle. Amy was our server/bartender and she was amazing and very sweet. We had spicy tuna hand rolls, popcorn shrimp, and a lemon roll. All of the food tasted great. I had the lychee martini which was sooo good, highly recommend it!

A new and beautiful location below Eden has just opened and we are so excited to be here!! First things first: the moment we walk in the atmosphere, and the vibe is absolutely beautiful. Word of advice: dress to impress. They bring hot towels the moment you sit down. And the menu selection is absolutely wonderful. Fully romantic setting, so if you're looking to take your date, this is the spot for you. Sushi is fresh and delicious. Are we just was a sweetheart can't wait to come back.

Originally booked Eden's menu but was glad we were able to order sushi from the Umi menu. Was pleasantly surprised. The fish was fresh, delicious, and best sushi I've had in Glendale in a long time. Happy this is a solid sushi option now. Favorites were the lemon roll, lime roll, and spicy tuna on crispy rice.

We were greeted very well at the reception. The wait time to be seated was about 10 minutes. The food was just amazing, very tasty, very beautifully served. We drank sake and it was delicious. The coffee was also excellent. We really enjoyed everything and will definitely come back.

Very poor service ... on Valentines night we waited one hour without getting our food had to leave the restaurant... not recommend to anyone. We had reservations.They ruined our night .Very unsatisfying

Very poor service, for Valentine day event we reserved a table but after 2 hours we didn't get any response for food , they just brought us a drink my suggestion if you have big events please add more people to take care of customers it was really awful customer service
