Very nice casual Japanese restaurant. A wide variety of sakes. The Hamachi Kama was excellent. They have several silken tofus that are also very good. I liked the salted cuttlefish, but my wife didn't like the texture. The miso soup was also very good. So far this is the best ramen I've had in the area.
Excellent! I have been here four times now and it is always great. Umi had tough shoes to fill but they have brought excellent traditional Japanese food to north leucadia and we love it!
A must try! It's a hidden gem. The chefs are amazing, the Ramen is to die for, everything on the menu is so authentic, very fresh and tasty, staff is very friendly. Love the family environment! Does get very tight inside and wait times can be long (at busy hours) but SO worth the wait. Parking can be a struggle as well but over all it's a must!!!!!!
Authentic Japanese food, made with LOVE! If you had ever been to the previous, Sake House, then you not be disappointed with the new ownership. Umi is definitely paying homage to a large part of the menu and vibe that the Sake House was famous for. You can ignore the other posts about price/quantity/wait-time, etc. This is not a 'sushi bar' (although they have wonderful sushi). You can rest assured that everything you try will be incredible and it is worth the wait and the price. The chefs take pride in their ingredients, presentation and service of this special Japanese menu. I can't wait to go back...we will definitely be frequent local customers :)
The most amazing Japanese food i’ve ever had in San Diego! If you wanna taste REAL Japanese food, i definitely recommend visiting this restro 👍🏻
