Recently ventured with my family to this Japanese restaurant for Sunday lunch, and I must admit, my expectations were cautious. The appetizers showcased a commendable array of flavors, with one standout star: the Brussels sprouts! Unexpectedly delightful and a refreshing departure from the norm. The sashimi selection was a testament to freshness, accompanied by insightful tidbits from our server about their country of origin, which left a lasting impression.While the rolls displayed an admirable level of creativity, some bordered on overwhelming, albeit in a way that still intrigued our taste buds.We hope that this establishment flourishes, deserving of the support enjoyed by its counterparts along the main highway. It's a hidden gem waiting to be discovered

Good, but overpriced. The restaurant has a classier vibe, and is a good date night or family spot in Riverstone (I would not bring younger kids here). We ordered the halibut carpaccio, the nemo roll (I added cream cheese), udon, and shaggy dog roll. For the price, the portion size of the halibut carpaccio was extremely underwhelming. The 5 incredibly thin slices, although disappointing when brought out, tasted great. The rolls were good, but the udon left something to be desired. If budget is not a concern, this is a solid spot.The service was great, but I could get the same quality of food for much cheaper in Bellaire, so I will not be returning.

My experience at Umami in Sugar Land was a tale of two tastes. The nigiri sushi shone brilliantly, boasting freshness and precision that satisfied my discerning palate. Each piece was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality.However, the journey took an interesting turn with the more contemporary rolls. While creativity is often welcome, some rolls had a bit too much going on, creating a symphony of flavors that occasionally clashed rather than harmonized. It felt like an attempt to push the boundaries, but simplicity might have been a more elegant route.The ambiance was pleasant, and the service attentive. The diverse menu offers a range of options, appealing to both traditional and adventurous sushi enthusiasts.In summary, Umami in Sugar Land excels in the art of nigiri sushi, but the contemporary rolls might benefit from a more refined approach. If you're a sushi purist, you'll likely find joy in the carefully crafted nigiri selection. I will certainly be back to try more of the nigiri and hopefully find a roll that suits my tastes!

The food here was pretty good, although little disappointed in the shaggy dog roll I got. The attempt at it here I think goes overboard on other ingredients than places normally do, and as this is my favorite roll typically I was a little set back by this one. The cream cheese ruined it for me, and it also comes with avocados but I asked for that to be removed (should've also taken out the cream cheese but lesson learned).Outside of that, the tuna crispy rice and gyoza were both pretty good! Ambience was nice.

Hey there. Are you always looking for a good sushi spot that's close to home? Look no more. Sugarland has some amazing options for sushi such as keepers, and japaneiros. Umami by far is probably my favorite in the burbs. So good. Always hits the spot. Only thing is it's slightly more expensive then these other options but honestly it's worth it when you realize the quality of that fish is damn good. What we got- - Tuna Crispy rice- 10/10. Came with some yummy sauces on the side such as spicy mayo and eel sauce. They are not stingy on the sauces at all which makes it amazing, - King Salmon Sashimi- 10/10. Melted in my mouth. Was delicious. Didn't want it to finish but my husband ate it all. Only call it is it's 16$ for only 4 pieces :(- Angry Dragon Roll- 8/10. Mine kept falling apart as I ate it but the flavors were amazing and the fish was so fresh - Candy cane roll- 9/10 really yummy. Again fish was so fresh. All in all- everything was so good. Always a great option!

The restaurant has nice decor and clean interior. Their happy hour is from lunch to 6pm, and has limited food items. But I appreciate that they offer half rolls and full rolls so that the customers could try more varieties. I had the Nabeyaki Udon, Sake Sashimi, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Scallop Robata, Wagyu Filet Mignon Robata, Sake Nigiri, Spicy Salmon Roll, LJ Pkwy roll, and Love Affair roll. The udon was ok. It had small cubes of chicken which were tough. The broth was a little salty. The sake sashimi and sake nigiri were fresh. The spicy tuna crispy rice was a fresh idea, a good dish. The scallop robata had too much sauce. Most of the flavor came from the sauce, thus I couldn't taste any sweetness which should come from the scallop. I am disappointed with the wagyu filet mignon robata. It was over cooked and tough. The rolls were good. Staff were polite and always checking in. Food was served pretty fast too. Overall, food was ok but could be better.

We managed to sneak in on a Wednesday a few minutes before happy hour ended and they were kind enough to do last call for us. Decently large selection of dishes, LOTs of roll options. The happy hour is from 12-6 pm so a huge window as I learned. As the other reviews say the portion of fish is well sized and way better quality than I was expecting. The roll we got was delicious (I'm blanking on the name) but had spicy salmon inside and white tuna on top. We also got some chicken karate which was not my favorite due to the texture. Not super crispy like a traditional karaage dish usually is. But the rest of what we got was very good. I think I have a new bang for your buck sushi place close to home. I would definitely wanna come during HH so I can try more things out. Service was okay, a tad slow for being slow on a Wednesday, but our servers were very nice. The restaurant is large and has your standard table and booth seating.
