Umiya Sushi

It was my first time here. The food was excellent, but the service was quite slow. My boyfriend and I chose to sit at the bar to avoid waiting for a table, expecting more attentive service, but that wasn't the case. While our drinks arrived promptly, our appetizers took a long time. The food itself was delicious—except for the tempura Oreo; I don’t know what I was thinking ordering that. I definitely plan to return, as there are still several menu items I'm eager to try. I just hope the speed and efficiency of the service improve.

It was all very good except for one thing. The strawberry Margarita did not have salt on the rim (per San Antonio unofficial mandate) but it also had no alcohol. I did not detect even the slightest bit. Our server did a great job. We had 6 people and they order like crazy. We had about a 30min wait, it was busy even for a Sunday night.

​The Food: I had a varied order, showcasing their diverse menu, and every dish was prepared perfectly. The Salmon Avocado Roll was classic and delicious, and the Shrimp Shumai and Mussels were excellent starters. For the main event, the 8-piece Sashimi was incredibly fresh—definitely a highlight! I also loved the inventive choices like the Sushi Burrito and the wonderfully textured Shaggy Roll. And the Sweet Tea was a refreshing complement to the meal. The quality of all the seafood and ingredients is clearly a priority here. ​The Service: The staff is wonderfully friendly and truly elevated the experience. Best of all, the food came out very fast, which is perfect whether you're dining in or grabbing a quick bite.

Beautiful ambience, great service and all around lovely experience. We went for dinner all you can eat on a Saturday. Costed 31.95 per person or 16.95 per child 10 and under, and we got access to everything on their AYCE menu. The fried rice and apps were delicious, the sushi outstanding, and dessert was decent. The paradise roll with banana blew me away. Just wish there were reservations as we waited a long time. Patio seating also available.

Food actually was outstanding. Everything we got to eat was top quality and came out very quickly. However, the service was very bad. They were either understaffed or something else was going on, but it took forever to get the drinks, forever to get the order taken And we actually felt bad for the waitresses because they were doing the best they can so that’s why we speculate they were just understaffed. We can recommend The restaurant because we hope this was just a rare occasion as far as the service goes, and the food was outstanding.
