Umi Japanese RestaurantFavorite Restaurant in PittsburghI've been to Asian, I've lived in Chicago and San Diego and I have to say this is some of the best sushi I've ever had. It's my new favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. They were small portions, but it didn't matter because everything we ate was DELICIOUS.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing as usual.Whenever I'm in Pittsburgh, I go to Umi if nowhere else. It is hands down the best sushi I've ever had. It might be the best in the country. The quality of the fish combined with the added flavors of the preparation is unbelievable. The service is amazing. The ambience is sophisticated but relaxing.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMWOW - Great Sushi!Fantastic sushi and our server was wonderful. She gave us great suggestions and was very attentive.

We went for a birthday celebration and it was well worth it.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMWay too expensive for averageWay too expensive for average Japanese food. I've been there several times now. Each time I have the chef's choice....hoping that it will surprise me. Every time I am disappointed with mediocre food. This last time they served lobster tempura that was cold. Portions are tiny. Service is fantastic though. Kudos to the servers. They are outstanding.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWorld Class SushiMy wife and I love sushi and have traveled the world enjoying it in New York, Chicago, LA, Hawaii, and Japan.
