Umami Japanese Restaurant 18921 University Boulevard, Sugar Land, TX 77479

"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 karaage 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, but our servers were very nice. The restaurant is large and has your standard table and booth seating."

"My kids love sushi and Unami is their always their first choice. The food is always fresh, highest quality and presentation is beautiful and well thought. My son’s fav is the crispy rice roll, my daughter’s fav is the shaggy roll, my fav is the OMG, udon soup, Riverstone roll and my husband loves the whole menu lol"

"Me and my husband has such a great time here tonight. I was craving for some sake today and this is where my husband took me. We ordered omakaze sushi and other menus. Kindness from the servers and vibes were just perfect. I would definitely come back again to umami."

"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."
