    This is definitely the best sushi we’ve had in Atlanta! Everything we ordered was excellent! We especially loved the yellowtail jalapeño and spicy tuna crispy rice appetizers and the Lobster toban-yaki is a must!! Plus the service was outstanding!

    The food was amazing. The servers had a pretty good attitude, but multiple orders got mixed up and brought to the wrong table. We got charged for the wrong orders that came too, which we didn't dispute but still was unexpected to me. Overall, I would recommend. Everything with salmon was outstanding.

    Subpar service. Waited about 20 minutes to be seated with a reservation. Bar was jam packed so we stood near the doorway. Table was set up without wasabi/ginger condiments. Had to flag down a passing server who seemed flustered. Dessert was delicious (get the angel food cake). Will give this restaurant one more try before I write it off because it was really good pre-COVID

    I am not often GREATLY impressed by restaurants. I have food allergies and so does my husband and we are both great cooks. THIS PLACE IS NOT TO BE MISSED! This is by far the best meal and best experience I have had in Atlanta (in over 30 years of living here)! Kudos to ALL! Amazing service by Kevin & the overwhelming care and consideration taken when dealing with ingredients that needed to be avoided was so impressive!

    Delicious food and excellent service! My only issue is that I should be able to take my leftover chicken with me if I so desire. I acknowledge it will not be as delicious as in the restaurant! That’s the risk I’m willing to take for my purchased said chicken! ☺️

    Unfortunately this is one of the worst experiences I’ve had with Umi. It’s been one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta for many years and a go-to for Intown guests and for an interesting scene. It’s become too much scene, I suppose. Not only was our service tragic, the food was absolutely sub-par. With so much competition in Atlanta, I suspect Umi has lost its luster. I hate giving bad reviews for local favorites. Umi needs to devise if it’s focused on cocktails or food. But somehow it’s lost both.

    It was my husband’s birthday. We didn’t tell the waiter but he must have overheard. We ordered dessert and he put a birthday candle in our dessert. Very nice touch. The salad, red snapper, black cod, sashimi all exceeded our expectations. The coffee was delicious and the dessert was as well.

    Food was excellent as was the service. The waiter, Khoi, took time to point out and explain the bestsellers on the menu such that I ordered and received just what I was desiring. We shared the shrimp with spicy cream, the surf and turf sushi and a cucumber dish. Very nice.

    It’s been about 3 years since I have been to Union and was very disappointed on my return. First off the bartender was extremely rude. All I did was ask where the cocktails were on the drink menu. It was dark and I missed it, I’m sorry. I don’t think it entailed almost yelling at us. Once we were seated things did not improve. Service Our waiter was horrible overall. I had to flag down random people multiple times to get my water refilled, even when we saw our waiter fill up other tables proactively. Also we order some nigiri and he brought out sashimi. Not a big deal but kind of annoying, and we would have told but he disappeared / ignored us for the next 10 mins so we just ate it. Made no real attempt to give us any recommendations even when we tried to ask for some. Had to aggressively flag him down multiple times to order more food. Also towards the end up the meal we ordered another dish that never arrived but at that point we were so sick of the place we just made sure we weren’t charged for it (we weren’t) and went home a little hungrier than usual. Food and Drink The food was good overall, but nothing special. We ordered the crispy tuna, some nigiri aka sashimi :), Chilean sea bass, lobster, a few oz of A5, and a typhoon roll (which never came). The A5 was not really salted, so ended up dipping in soy which masked the flavor of it, so basically a giant waste. The mean bartender did make some great drinks though, so maybe he’s allowed to be a jerk. Overall, I would not plan on coming back here.

    Noise level tends to be way excessive for a pleasant dining experience. Everyone I know has the same opinion about UMI, meaning that it is the #1 negative point in this restaurant. Otherwise, the experience would be outstanding because Food and Service are consistently formidable
