I have come here many times and I enjoy the food here. It's always very clean, service is friendly (helps that I know the owner haha) and the food is consistently decent. I usually order the tempura udon with agadashi tofu or some cones or an unagi roll. I haven't been back to the establishment for three years but I have yet to pop in and see if anything new has been added to the menu.
good, pocket friendly and nice stuff! was on a hunt for a good sushi place for a while and this just helped the cause worth the try! overall good experience
Well, it's hard to accurately rate this place. Having lived all over the lower mainland in the last 15 years and being a real sushi nut, I've tried many many sushi places. As far as the basics, this place is top notch, all the fish is high quality and well prepared. The cooked food is good, but not outstanding. As far as places in the Cloverdale /Langley area this is by far the best.
Now the bad. They are victims of their own success. Usually they have more business and take out orders than they can handle. They are very disorganized and service is typically very poor. What they need to do is get a bigger location and hire a bunch more staff...if they ever manage to figure out the service side, they will get a 5.
Excellent sushi! Cheap, tasty and great service! Very low key with excellent staff. Would highly recommend. Little hard to find but highly worthwhile. Only downside is the small space makes for limited seating.
I found myself out in the Cloverdale Crossing area back in October and decided to stop here for some lunch. If I knew that there were sushi places like Umami Sushi in Cloverdale, I’d spend more time out here. The Wild Salmon Sashimi ($13.50) arrived in 8 pieces. The sashimi was the appropriate temperature and had a firmness to the flesh that you don’t see with the farmed variety. Loved the bright red colour and the clean finish.
A local favorite to enjoy sushi for good prices. The first thing you will notice when walking in is a pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff. It is often very busy during peak times so expect a full restaurant! I come here often with friends and family and we enjoy the food here very much. Over the past few years they have been very consistent with the quality of their food, having good service and attention to detail. They also have a good menu to choose from, varying from creative sushi rolls, udon to their teriyaki. Overall I would highly recommend this place to any sushi lover, it is definitely one of the best in the lower mainland.
This is our "go-to" sushi restaurant in Cloverdale. We've never been disappointed. The rolls are good and the sashimi is fresh. Service is efficient but not overly friendly. We prefer the Cloverdale location to the new one.
Tofu Teriyaki is only 4 pieces. However...they are delicious...
Best sushi in the Cloverdale area! We are never disappointed and we go weekly.
Good everything!! Value, Quality. My family and wife's family eat here about once a week. The staff are so friendly and nice to deal with. They have started to remember our order even, which does fluctuate from time to time but they sure do recognize our basic order!
Pricing has got to be some of the most fair in Surrey/Cloverdale, locations down in Sullivan are just too pricey! I used to work at Tokyo Joes on Broadway and our pricing was significantly better then most places we walk into. But the pricing at Umami is fair and reflects the location they are in. The restaurant is very nice and clean, filled with Japanese décor.
The quality is fantastic, none of that stale faded salmon to be found here! Everything tastes so fresh, and like many Japanese places, the sushi bar is open for all to see. We have never had to complain about mis-matched orders or poor taste. And we are so glad to see they expanded to Langley and are open Sunday's out there, because it is surprisingly hard to find a Sushi joint open on a Sunday in Cloverdale/Langley. But all in all a great deal for great food!
