Umi Sushi Japanese Restaurant, San Jose, California, Japanese Restaurant Details

Food:

Expensive and small portions... Sushi was not the icy cold that has become very popular (and tasty in my opinion). They had no A/C or it was broken and it smelled like a chemical kind of weird smell (can't quite place it but it was not a normal sushi house smell). Seemed like a family owned nice couple as sushi chef and waitress, but even their service left something to be desired. Bottom line is that the sushi wasn't "bad", but for what we paid and the atmosphere this place is a "no-go"!

Food:

I had a sashimi dinner and have to say I had a bone in the salmon. Isn't it "sushi 101" to remove bones from the fish before serving? The soup was watery, the tea weak.We've just moved here we definitely won't be going again.
My son had Ikura and I was a little concerned about him eating it, as the balls were not firm like they are supposed to be, but a little "limp", but luckily he was OK. I'd say the quality is no better than a generic sushi boat type restaurant.

Food:

Place is empty for a reason. Really small portions, tasteless agedashi and some steep prices. Sauce on the Unagi had a weird taste .

Food:

Great, tasty and fresh sushi all the time. Excellent service -- the owners are always very kind and generous.

However, this awesome little place is not immuned to the downturn of the economy, so please support it by eating there often and passing the word around onto your family and friends.
