Went during the Vikings game for play offs to enjoy $1 oysters and tho the vikings disappointed us. Umi did not with their oysters. Service was amazing, shoutout to Billy he was just a chill guy and he made our first visit great!We ordered about 100+ oysters that night

Their liquor license has been revoked so they aren't serving any alcohol at this moment. The sushi happy hour is to die for. They play old 2000's music and it's great. Very chill vibes.

The expresso martini is always a 10/10. For food they had an end of the summer special which included 1 appetizer and 3 sushi rolls for $40.I ordered for appetizers and onion soup and Sautéed with chili paste and garlic . If you're a lover of spice this edamame would be 1st pick. For my rolls I order a angry bird which had shrimp tempura, spicy kani, cucumber, topped with seared salmon, masago, green onion, eel sauce, spicy mayo, Crunch roll Included shrimp tempura, cucumber, kaiware (Daikon Sprout), topped with crunch, nori, masago, eel sauce, spicy mayo., TRIPLE THREAT roll it included spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, topped with spicy tuna, crunch, spicy mayo This roll was one of my favorite it was so deliciously crunchy I went back twice lol. Service was fast and the ambiance is always great would recommend this place for sushi in blaine!

This restaurant has the best happy hour deals for sushi, sashimi, and appetizers. Half of the restaurant is hibachi station and the other half is for sushi dining. Big restaurant with tons of parking and huge bar by the entrance. Always great service and great food. We order the oysters, sashimi, and raw oysters. Great prices during their happy hour.

This place has the best happy hour! This is honestly the only time I ever go...but it hits everytime! While their sushi rolls aren't my top choice there is still many other options to choose from! They do offer hibachi but I have yet to try that out. However, the salmon toro is my favv!! I crave this everyday and is a must to get everytime I go. Its a melt in your mouth perfection. Topped with tobiko, feesh wasabi and a sweet ponzu sauce, each bite is packed with flavors that goes so well together. The price is not as bad compared to other places. If you are looking for other options to get, the baked mussels never disappoints. I recommend for anything who wants to try happy hour.

Overall, food and presentation was not too bad but the interior decor was very sad and lacking if you are looking for special occasion dinner. Did not try their hibachi so can't comment on that option. Located in the Central Av main corridor of Blaine so easy access with plenty of parking. There is a patio dining but we came in the winter so not sure if that is nice in the summer time. They do have specials so follow them on social. Decent HH menu which we ordered from as well as their ala carte. The sashimi and the appetizers were pretty good.

I want to preface this by saying that the service and chef were so sweet and amazing at their work. But the food tasted cheap. This place had such determined and kind workers yet it was just poorly managed and seems like it's falling apart.

Needs some improvement - 3 stars.GOOD: I originally sat at my booth, after my tasty dinner, trying to decide if I was going to give UMI 4 stars or 5 stars. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the restaurant is beautiful. But then I used the men's restroom...NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: I was completely disgusted by the men's room! The unsanitary, gross condition was disturbing. And what I witnessed wasn't all done in one day either, not by a long shot. There's definitely long term neglect here. The urinal was incredibly gross with some weird gray biological coating on the porcelain under the water line. The top of the urinal had dried urine and pubic hairs on it. And the black tile on the wall around it, in addition to the tile on the floor, was stained with urine. (I wanted to take photos but I wasn't sure about the Yelp policy on bathroom pics.) I took a peek into the stalls they they were bad too. Then I got to the sink. There was a thick layer of crust all around it (see photo). Amazing. It looked like some sort of biology experiment. There's more. There were paper towels on the floor all around a full trash can. Come on management, send ALL of the employees into the restrooms with cleaning supplies for an hour and fix this. It ruined my whole experience. And it made me question what other hygiene issues may be hiding in the kitchen and behind the bar. Yuck!!!The men's room condition made me not want to ever come back again. This is an easy fix. Please do better, UMI.-Maxx

I realized this is the spot to go to for hibatchi but wasn't impressed with the sushi. I think for the price which was 50$ wasn't worth it. The fish didn't look as fresh and for the 2 rolls you got you ended up getting sort of the same as the sashimi. The soup, salad and crab Rangoons were good! The star for me was the salad and the dressing which I could eat so much of. I've been here for hibatchi and that does not disappoint. I think I'll be sticking to doing that as opposed to sushi. They are short staff so the wait on food is longer than usual. Service was still really good but was let down by the sushi.

Brought our son here for his 14th Birthday celebration. Usually is a pretty good dinner, and is typically one of his favorite places .However, we had to wait 30 minutes to even get our order placed and another 45 minutes until our food was ready. The quality of the food has gone down substantially and portions were smaller. These don't line up with the price increases we've been seeing. Additionally, the restaurant and restrooms were filthy. We had to ask our chef to please clean the grill, which he did. These are :seemingly little things, but overall tampered our experience especially for the price you pay.For the first time in years, our son has asked that his next birthday dinner not take place at Umi. Which is sad for us, as we have enjoyed their food & experience for years. But it appears to be
