Ume

"Ume is a cool sushi-set concept restaurant that is known for its set course ($78) that comes with 12 different cuts of seafood that you wrap in your own temaki (handrolls). The restaurant has a minimalist zen aesthetic with low tables (you sit on cushions with shoes off) and a garden section in the back. The set wasn't enough food for us, so we ended up getting the chirashi don from the a la carte menu - a bit pricey but well made. The staff was very accommodating and also give a little complimentary birthday dessert. All in all, the meal was ~$230 after tip including a bottle of sake with dinner."

"As a sashimi enthusiast, I was very excited to try this place. The ambience and the staff were perfect. If you like to discover different flavours and what goes well with what, I highly recommend this place. I also ordered the cucumber drink — super refreshing and sweet enough. Thank you for the lovely experience ❤️"

"A delicious omakase set at a reasonable price. Seafood is all very fresh with a unique way to season your own food and build your own rolls, sushi, sashimi with your choice of seasoning although they have published recommended seasoning choices for each fish. If you run out of seasoning, you can always ask for more. The set is already pretty filling but if you're still hungry/looking for a larger meal, the scallop salad with uni and the chirashi bowl are both amazing choices and you can't go wrong with either. Dessert is quite tasty as well and they added a candle to celebrate my birthday. Service was quick and friendly but they are strict with dining times so make sure you arrive a few minutes before your reservation as they do politely give you warnings and kick you out on the clock."

"Insanely tasty!!!! It definitely lives up to and surpasses the hype- I had been wanting to try this place for several months and finally went. The portion sizes of the fish are actually great- we left feeling super full which is somewhat atypical for sushi. I love the “choose your own adventure” vibe of the set meal with the flavored salts and spices they have, which definitely pack a punch despite arriving on a deceptively tiny plate. The staff were also super attentive and friendly. Would 10/10 go again."

"We got a table inside at 5pm and definitely a good call on a hot day. They have the outdoor area with AC but was a bit hotter in comparison to the indoor. The checkin process was fast, typical true Japanese restaurant where you leave your shoes in a compartment and walk bare foot inside (for sure bring back memories traveling in Japan). The seats are on the floor so we all made sure to wear stretchy pants. All the salts, foods, and presentation were so on point. We were comfortably filled but not too full after finishing the meal. A unique experience, perfect for date night and friends dinner alike. Highly recommended."
