Umi Sushi

Why only 3 ½ stars?! This is one of the best sushi places I’ve been to in awhile because of their creative sushi combinations!
Spicy Valentine: this massive sushi roll consisted of salmon as the base with a lovely decorated potato crunch layered on top. Sriracha was the winning flavor dressed on top of the whole dish. I’ve never had potato crunch on sushi but found this delightful. It’s nice to get a bit of crunch to a normally soft roll.
Winnipeg Beach roll: this shrimp with cucumber roll was delicious. I could have eaten this roll for days. There was a wonderfully light, yet sour vinaigrette that enhanced the whole dish. This dish was so light, refreshing and tasted so healthy. There is no rice to make this dish feel heavy.
Only downfalls are the seating area is upstairs so you have to climb a set of stairs. There is no elevator access so it is not disabled-​friendly. Also, the bathrooms are located on the main floor so you do have to trek up and down if you need the bathroom.
The waitress is not always present upstairs so you have to ring a bell every time you need her as well.
Most things can be overlooked because the sushi is fantastic!

My favorite sushi place in Winnipeg, it’s a small place but very cute and clean. The best Tempura anything. Always leave full and they do not cheap out on anything! The food is always good every time I’ve been there, consistency is key here!

I used to like this place a lot of casual take out sushi but this place has changed management several times. Recently, the nigiri has been tasting a bit stronger (not in a good way) and the nigiri has been sliced up in such a brutal way that the pieces look mangled. Finding 2, yes 2 bones in in my tuna nigiri turned me off completely. In all my years of eating sushi, I don’t recall ever finding any bones never mind 2 in the same piece. So, no more from here. Sorry.

Very small and intimate. Perfect for meal by yourself or a friend. Lots of rolls to choose from, just write it on the sheet they give you. Very reasonable price and the lunch specials is pretty much a steal. Will be back!
