A little sad it took me so long to finally make the trek out to LSU to Umami Sushi on Burbank. There are plenty of very good sushi places in the area that have done a great job with the standard "creative" rolls, but Umami's specialty roll menu puts them all to shame. Don't get me wrong, we will still frequent geisha, uchi, etc., but when I want some more creativity and depth, we will bite the bullet and head over to campus. We started out with the Toro belly/truffle appetizer and I accidentally ordered hamachi kama thinking I was ordering the Hamachi Crudo. Boy I'm happy I made that mistake. The yellowtail collar was perfectly broiled and very flavorful. The Toro belly was outstanding as well. The richness of the truffle and the delicateness of the tuna paired wonderfully.For mains, we moved on to the Akami Rouge and Sexiest Woman Alive rolls, both of which were outstanding. The table next to us had Ramen that looked wonderful. We plan to make another trip for soup and yet another for some of the land based animal dishes.

Take out was easy to order online and pick up was quick. I ordered the Love at First Bite Roll which was delicious and perfectly sized although a little pricy. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which had a good flavor but were a little oily. I had the matcha crepe cake for dessert which was less flavorful than I expected and was good almost to the end when I found a short black hair inside one of the layers.

I had a great lunch at Umami while visiting Baton Rouge. The restaurant has a casual ambiance with flavorful sushi for everyone, whether you are beginner or a sushi connoisseur. There is ample parking right in front of the restaurant but I could see it filling up at peak times, there are a lot of businesses in the surrounding area. We ordered a sample of a few different items so I could try to capture the full experience at once. I had the Rock & Roll and the Sexiest Woman Alive, both were really good. I prefer traditional rolls as I am a beginner for sushi, so I really liked the Rock & Roll. Both rolls had stellar individual ingredients and the overall flavor profile was made up of a small part of each. The restaurant is fairly small so I would visit with small groups, maybe 4-6 people at max. They can probably move a couple of tables to accommodate but I wouldn't bring a group of 10 here. It's a good size for lunch or an early dinner. The employees are nice and attentive, and they even help you decide on an order based on your tastes. I will definitely be back to visit!

Hands down the best sushi in Baton Rouge. Don't go anywhere else! The quality and freshness are just the best here compared to other local places. I am not a sashimi/nigiri fan however my friend who got the nigiri platter also raved about it. Great friendly knowledgeable service as well.

It's currently on the menu as a special but if you're able to order the Lobst in Japan, I highly recommend. The spring mix is such a nice touch (!) and paired well with the tempura lobster and spicy sweet chili sauce. Got to sit bar side and watch them make this - great service.

I got the "sexiest women alive" roll. 10/10. I don't typically like wasabi but the wasabi aioli on the roll added the perfect balance to the dish and opened me to trying wasabi again. Our serve was super kind and seemed to genuinely care about our dining experience.

My husband and I went yesterday for lunch, or say we tried. We were served iced tea with barely any ice, asked server for Sweet n Low, I finally had to get up and ask another person for it. She asks, can you tell me what color the package was. Wow, 30 minutes in, only 5 or 6 tables in restaurant, we are still waiting on our order. 3 tables came in after us, were served and had checks on tables. We ordered 3 sushi rolls, nothing fancy. After 40 minutes we ask for the check, instead server brings food to table, only to have to take it back. Upon leaving, we were thanked and told to have a nice afternoon. We did. We walked two doors down to Modesto and had an amazing lunch! The staff at Umami we sincerely thank you for the unpleasant experience that lead us to your competitor.
