One of my favorite meals in NY so far! You get a nice selection of fish, fresh seaweed, and a lot of different toppings/sauces to go along with it. It was super fun to make your own handrolls and the atmosphere was also extremely calming. We also got the Scallop Uni Salad and that tasted great as well! Highly recommend making the reservation and coming here :) Btw, servers are extremely friendly!!

Solid Asian restaurant with a good variety of sushi. The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant, and the service was fast. Price is pretty good too. No complaints!

Ok at best. Not cheap. I got the 3 roll lunch special with spicy mayo and it cost $22. The rice tasted a little off, maybe a bit under cooked. The woman who took my order didn't fully understand what I wanted so a couple of my rolls weren't as ordered. I would have this place again but I'm not in a rush to go back.

Very unique with both presentation and service being outstanding. The food itself is not bad but certainly not top end Sushi. Everyone is mainly there for the experience so be sure to get a reservation and in my opinion, outdoor seating is much better ambiance.

I really enjoyed the veggie rolls I had here. They have a nice selection of different vegetable rolls, ranging from $7-$8 each. I do really like that the rolls have a lot of "filling, and less rice- see pictures. I think it is hard to find a place that does that and usually it is loaded with more rice and less filling. I was full satisfied after my meal of 3 yummy veggie rolls. The wasabi here packs a punch- spicy with just a smidge, which indicates to me they use good quality wasabi. Service was friendly and fast. Restaurant was full, but not crazy busy on a Saturday night. Got a seat for 2 right away. Restaurant decor was simple but still nice. I think probably seats ~20 or so in the whole restaurant? As for their other food, they have the typical selection of standard rolls, special rolls and sashimi. I cannot speak to the quality of the fish since I did not eat here. I would return the next time my sushi craving hits! A good place for a casual dinner that hits the spot!

With only 17 reviews, I was slightly skeptical of Ume's 4.7 star rating, but decided to give it a shot and really glad we did. Pretty sure this is a new-ish sushi spot and from the unassuming looks of it, you might assume it's one of the hundreds of mediocre sushi spots sprinkled throughout the city. These days, it's become so hard to find good sushi that isn't high end omakase. But this place nails it. They have a large menu of sushi as well as lots of hot dishes. This is often a turnoff to me and a sign that the sushi won't be too good, but not the case. They serve really good sushi AND really good cooked food -- who would've thought this possible??We started with gyoza, Kani salad and spicy tuna crispy rice. All were excellent. Gyoza and kani salad are usually not worth writing about, but both were amongst the best I've had. Crispy rice spicy tuna was maybe the single best I've ever had (yes, better than Tao and Nobu and all the gems). Really that good. We moved onto sushi and got a mix of cut rolls + hand rolls, everything very fresh and delicious. Good rice, well prepared rolls, very nice fish. Enjoyed it all very much. Didn't get any pieces but suspect they would've been very good too. Got a chicken teriyaki for the little one which was also very good. Oh and if all this wasn't enough, did I mention they're BYO? Oh, and that there's a liquor store DIRECTLY next store. Grab yourself a bottle of Halutsuru junmai gingo sake for 20 bucks and and enjoy an excellent sushi + sake dinner. Service and staff were amazing too! So accommodating especially with our 2 year old daughter. A+!!!

Stopped in here late at around 9:45pm after a flight. They had a happy hour from 9-10pm, lots of rolls and other grilled appetizers for $6. I just had a few of these small dishes, everything was good and very fast. Service was also excellent, very friendly. Everyone around me seemed to having a great time and they kept saying the food was so delicious, so I probably didn't try enough. A good fast sushi place to eat in a busy part of NYC.

Love Ume! I was working from home and found this place around the corner from me. I ordered wonton soup, vegetable tempura, and a tuna crunch roll. The vegetable tempura was my favorite. There were the standard delicious veggies like zucchini and sweet potatoes and veggies I hadn't had before in tempura like asparagus and bell pepper. It was so so good and I loved the sauce. Wonton soup was the standard wonton soup and tuna crunch roll was good it seems like it is minced tuna with tempura little crunchies mixed into the mix. Very delicious.
