UMI Sushi & Seafood

"Went here on a Fri evening, so got to experience the full buffet. I really, really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but the seafood and the crayfish, corn and potatoes were over cooked and dry. The flavors were spot on though! Everything else was delicious! The sushi was amazing! Loved the options! I would definitely recommend and will definitely return next time in Portland!"

"It’s such a nice place. The decor is amazing and the interior design is very thoughtful. They have wonderful paintings hanging on the walls as well. The owner is very cheerful and welcoming. The variety of food ranging from chicken, meats, fish, seafood, rice and lo mein is delightful. I did takeout and it was a good experience."

"Tuesday night at 5:30 a few of us went in to have dinner. What surprised us to begin with is the negative reviews that this place is received. Tuesday night. Middle of the week. Lobster. Crab two different kinds. 10 different shrimp dishes. Chicken, beef, all different style Asian foods are offered. Great salad and raw bar! Typical desserts but lots of fresh fruit. Now for the sushi. The sushi choices were extensive. Absolutely the most choices out of any type of sushi buffet that we have ever been to in the state of Maine, and that’s been a lot! The sushi was not overly spicy or seasoned on the Buffet unless it was a spicy roll. This is so that everybody can eat it and it’s not going to turn away old people or kids just trying sushi. The great part is they have all the sauces and sides that you want to have with it.. generous plates of pickled ginger, seaweed salad, all different flavorings to add, wasabi, and my favorite, spicy mayo! The raw fish selections we’re done very well. They were all cold and fresh, and really delicate. The Ahi tuna was delicious! The lobsters were cut in half and just kind of steamed with a little butter, but they were plenty of different sauces to put on top. I find a really hard time arguing with the price when you look at all of the fresh seafood that you literally can eat until you drop. For two people was just under $52 without tax and tip for dinner. If you go to, a seafood restaurant and say you don’t really care for what you order you can’t go up and get something else. The crawfish were good and spicy, I really think it’s worth a try. Opens at 11 every day and lunch is a little cheaper, but they have almost the same things. I was told that they usually don’t have the lobster at lunchtime because they don’t want it not to be eaten. They want to make sure they serve it when they’re going to be there and they have more people in evenings and weekends . I think they serve everything they have as long as it’s fresh and some days maybe what they have is not worth putting out so you might not get the same choices. Just my opinion. A solid four stars out of five. If you follow me, you know I rarely get five stars but this was pretty darn close! Will definitely go back again whenever we’re in the Portland area."

"The staff were so friendly and even offered (multiple times) to take photos of my family for our reunion. The food was spectacular. We went on Sunday so it was pricey, but well worth it. We haven’t gone to a buffet that was better! 10/10! We are going again!"

"Very great place to eat when you’re feeling anything at all. They have the best custard steamed buns, not to mention their sushi selection is on fleek! Their soups and other dishes are delightful as well. I would highly Reccomend this place for the family or for a date night in south Portland! Great location- attentive staff (ASK FOR JANE- she’s the best!!!) and you can’t beat the price for what you have access too! Would definitely come back again in the future ! Thank you guys!! And especially JANE! Kristen & Wesley"
