  • I ate here this past Friday evening with my girlfriend for dinner. We decided to come here since it was the last of the Big Burrito restaurants that my girlfriend had not tried. The inside of the restaurant is quaint with a sushi bar on one side where you can watch Mr. Shu ply his craft and many tables on the other longer side of the restaurant. There are also a decent amount of sheet metal fish sculptures throughout the restaurant which I enjoyed looking at. Whenever our server came over, we queried him about a few of the Umi specials and in addition to the information about the dishes he told us that they were essentially big appetizers which was good to know. After hearing that we decided to start off our meals with the sawara with garlic ponzu and squid pasta with garlic sauce. Since we had also both ordered entrees with my girlfriend getting the terayaki salmon and myself the seafood tempura with a side spicy tuna maki, our meals actually started with a miso soup and ginger dressing salad. There was nothing special with either although I do always enjoy both at many sushi places. Soon after we finished those the sawara came out and it was a Spanish Mackeral cut into 7 pieces with a tiny sliver of raw garlic on top surrounding the garlic ponzu. We were instructed to wrap the fish around the garlic and dip it into the sauce which we both did. The combined flavors were very enjoyable with the standout being the sauce. After that our squid pasta came out which was some squid that looked julienned and then seared with some shitaki mushrooms and asparagus on top of a bed of garlic sauce. This dish was interesting for me as I was not a big fan of having the squid in the sauce alone but really enjoyed it whenever I combined it with some of the vegetables. The Shitake mushrooms might actually have been the best that I have ever had as they seemed to melt in your mouth. After we had finished the plate our server ended up bringing out a side of rice onto which he poured the sauce from our now empty dish. In doing so he explained that the sauce was too good to waste. After trying the sauce covered rice my girlfriend and I both readily agreed with him. Finally after making our way through all of the other courses, our entrees came out. My seafood tempura ended up consisting of broccoli, asparagus, crab, fake crab and a single piece of fish all breaded in tempura with a side of soy sauce. This dish was actually the biggest disappointment of the evening for me for a few reasons including the single piece of fish and also that it seemed to lack the depth of flavors that the rest of the dishes so nicely displayed. Thankfully my maki was delivered at the same time and had a flavor punch that diverted me from the much more vanilla tempura. Since I am not a huge fan of salmon I did not try my girlfriends dish but she did assure me that she enjoyed it whenever I asked her about it. The bottom line for me is that I would definitely be back in the future. I am not so sure that I would order an entree again but I would certainly love to try more of their creations and could probably make a meal of their maki and sushi.
