Good food at a great price....staff was very friendly and inside was pleasantly surprising
Awesome place to go to with family best volcano and tiger roll
Love the green dragon and the phoenix roll. Our favourite sushi restaurant!
Great service. All the reviews below were very long ago. I assumed and had second thoughts about going to Umi Sushi, but after my friends told me it was a great place, I decided to try it out. The service was amazing, the food arrived on time. Many sushi places in Winnipeg fail to meet their expectations with sushi, but I believe Umi has high quality food and service. I would recommend anybody to come and try their amazing rolls. Personally, Dynamite was my favorite. Their shrimp is cooked to perfection and it always brings me delight and joy when i eat here!
Great service, great food! Its fresh and real sushi from restaurants are incomparable to cold sushi from sobeys. Music is good, cant wait to try it again

Didn’t feel like cooking and wanted to order take out. This is the first time I’ve ever done sushi takeout. More often than not, I find the presentation pretty lacking and things like Tempura just don’t survive takeout very well. Nevertheless, my family wanted sushi so we decided to hit up Umi as we eat there every now and then for dine-in.
Ordering was simple enough, menu is online and also available through Skip-The-Dishes delivery. After phoning the order in, pick up was available as promised and the process was prompt.
The maki rolls as usual were great! I really like Umi’s California roll as they don’t try to skimp like other places and sneak in any shredded cucumber. Same thing with their Goma Ai Roll, it is purely spinach tossed in a sesame dressing, no cucumber which can dilute the flavour.
The Tempura, was as expected. Not that it is Umi’s fault, Tempura simply doesn’t survive sitting in a takeout box. The specialty rolls tasted great, but things like the Firecracker Roll or Umi Special Roll look way better when presented properly.
Unfortunately, the salmon sashimi was a pretty big miss. There were a few fish scales found throughout the pieces. Worse, there was one piece with a bone in it. This is unacceptable! One is paying an extreme premium for sashimi. The expectation is that you should be provided with a premium cut, with a premium level of service applied to it.
Sushi at Umi is very tasty and they have coupons in the Show and Save. There’s definitely no shortage of sushi restaurants in the area, but you can’t go wrong with Umi.
Nice sushi place in a busy Kenaston strip mall across the Home Depot and Walmart. My go to place if I'm craving for sushi and California rolls-fresh and tasty. Friendly owner and service.

Always been a fave in winnipeg! Used to live in linden woods so we frequented here regularly.
It's the easiest quick sushi good size and reasonable sushi!
I am not much of a sushi eater, but my son LOVES IT. he always goes there with friends and we even over some to take home. I even got some for a party and everyone really enjoyed it. Great service I have to say.
This is our go to sushi spot for girls night out. We were there again Saturday evening . The service is fantastic and the food never disappoints ! I ordered the shiitake mushroom, fried California, dynamite, Philadelphia, tempura yam and tempura salmon rolls. It was way too much food so I ended up taking half home (still great the day after). The rolls are reasonably priced and freshly made . I'm not a sushi pro but this place is by far my favourite and I will continue to come back !
Even though I had a bad experience a couple of years ago, I gave another try and I was so impressed by their freshness of salmon and other sashimi. The owner had newly changed and I got sushi pizza and a roll for compliments when I ordered quite a bit for group of people. I'll definitely order again 👍
I had the teriyaki chicken and shrimp tempura. When they took my order, they said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I returned from shopping at that time, and it was waiting for me. It was comparable to other sushi places. I noticed that they have a seating area upstairs, so I may try that out one of these days. Service was friendly with plenty of smiles. I'll definitely be back.
Service is ALWAYS amazing when we go! Food is great! The Bento Box lunch is a great price for all the food you get! One of the best and underrated Sushi restaurants in town!
Awesome. Went for lunch and it was the best sushi i have had in Winnipeg. The sashimi :) yum!
Good!. Went on a Friday night and enjoyed it. We had various maki rolls, which were good, but the real show-stopper was the salmon tower, which was just perfect with its warm rice, cold crab and salmon, and wasabi dressing! The food didn't arrive as quickly as I like but the wait was nothing outrageous. Also, their tea is super yummy (a roasted rice blend) and less than a dollar, which is great for this thrifty Winnipegger.
Great Sushi. I like the set-up of this restaurant. We have had a great experience at Umi. I had ordered take-out and when I picked up my food, they gave us a free dish which was very nice of them. I had also asked for extra ginger in which they gave me quite a bit!
Fantastic every time!!! I have been here many times and not once have I had bad food. Staff is always great they always give my 2 year old free juice with his meals!!! Food comes out fast and is yummy. Las Vegas roll is amazing and their tempera shrimp till!!!
Delicious and inexpensive. My fave sushi place ever. Always fast and always beautiful
Love it. I tried Umi Sushi one day when myself and a co-worker were having cravings. The staff are absolutely amazing! Very friendly, very nice, very fun people. The sushi is good quality and decently priced. I've gone back a few times since and it's always been good.
The four of us just stopped in for a quick snack. The staff were very friendly. We ordered a total of 8 rolls and three drinks (juices for the kids plus a Coke). When they brought the drinks they told us they were on the house! And they brought a free Sunomono salad as well! The rolls were beautiful and delicious. They've modernized their menu - very attractive design with great photos. Lots of new options to try out. We'll be back for sure.
Quality Sushi. Another one of those restaurants where you get what you pay for. In this case, Umi have the nicest hand rolls and thier sushi is delicious. The plate that the chef prepared for us, when brought out was an absolute work of art. A bit more $$ than your average sushi experience, but definitely worth it.
Always busy but worth it!. Have been here often and always find the staff very friendly and the food really good!
My go-to sushi restaurant. I like to try new sushi restaurants, but this is always the one I come back to!
I've been going here for 5 years, and I have never been disappointed.
Atmosphere: 8/10
I love that walking up the stairs takes you to a cozy dining area. I think they changed some of the decor in recent years, but I do still like it.
Food: 9/10
Love it. I've tried the majority of the menu, and everything tastes good. It's decently priced, and the lunch box is totally worth it.
Service: 8/10
I like that there's a little button that lets them know when you're in need of assistance. The waitresses are friendly and courteous.
I would definitely recommend this place!
Loooove it!. A friend introduced me to umi a few months ago and have been going back ever since! the staff is very friendly, and the layout of the restaurant is pretty neat. the "phoenix roll" is to die for - massive portion and absolutely delicious! definitely worth checking out!
Great Sushi!. I've been to Umi Sushi (on Kenaston) a couple of times now and I've loved it every single time! good service, a cozy environment, and GREAT food! I've heard that their owner has changed but I didn't notice any difference from when I first went a couple years back. They've recently added new items on their menu and I've only had a chance to try a few of them but they all taste good. One of my favorites is their new mango roll (Yum!). I can't wait to try their other new food.

Good sushi bad service. I went to Umi Sushi for the first time last week. The menu was extensive and offered options for people who may not like sushi or the idea of raw items. They also offer some non-sushi entrees. The food is priced on par with most sushi places, with the more elaborate rolls topping out at $15. People who have any kind of physical disability or problem with stairs should note that dining was all on the second floor, which is up a flight of stairs immediately to the right of the front entrance. The rolls were a good size, everything was fresh and extremely tasty. Unfortunately service is lacking. Our waitress brought us the menu and drinks and failed to return so we actually had to walk the order back down the stairs where she was chatting with a friend. Our food came quickly, once the order was received, but again when waiting to pay we had to finally walk down the stairs to track someone down. There were only two other sets of diners in the restaurant at the time, so the lack of service was not acceptable. The sushi however was good enough to go back for.

Nice location. I've been here on several occasions and love it every time. When I started going there, I would be the only one in the place, but now when I go at lunch, there's usually a line out the door. It can actually be hard to get a table if you don't go early.
The atmosphere is rather neat. You have to walk up a bunch of stairs to get to your seat, and the colors in the dining room are very modern earth-tones. Makes for an enjoyable and relaxing place. It IS rather cramped up there though as they try to fit several tables into a very small space.
The service is usually alright when there aren't many in there, but when the place is packed, watch out! I once sat in there at the lunch hour and waited 45 minutes to get my food only to have them tell me that they had sent it out for takeout rather than serve it to us! That was the only time it was ever poor though, and they have the standard button on the table if you need to ring for service.
The food is GREAT. The portions are just right for maki rolls, everything is delicious, the yam tempura rolls are absolutely wonderful and very tasty. When you go, definitely think about ordering a noodle dish to go with your sushi, but be warned that the portions are unexpectedly huge! After all the rolls come and you're thinking to yourself "how can I ever finish all of this?", out comes a massive plate of noodles, meat, vegetables...
The biggest attraction to this place if you're not wowed by the food, is the price. Every time I go, someone makes the comment: "This has one of the best tasting sushi at the best price!", and that statement is true in my eyes as well. Best tasting sushi for the best price. There are some great sushi places in town but you always end up paying so much that you can't afford to go back for a few months. With this place, it's affordable enough to have a weekly Friday lunch with friends if you wanted.
I was impressed. Apart from that one instance of bad service, the place has never been disappointing and I have it on my top sushi places to visit.
Umi Sushi is the best sushi restaurant in Winnipeg, the food is filling and very tasty. whenever a mistake has been made on my order the staff at Umi have always mended the problem with an extra complimentary roll. In general the staff at Umi are very welcoming and friendly
One of the best sush restaurants in wpg. Reasonably priced and very delicious.
Decent sushi, bad service
Wpg square umi sushi. Great sushi! i go here about once or twice a month in wpg square to grab a $10.00 sushi/drink combo. friendly staff, good menu. have never had a bad meal here.
What a brilliant little gem of a restraunt. Nestled between the source and payless shoes, this small delightful place was recommended to me by a good friend. They have earned my business for life with their quick service, well priced and more importantly DELICIOUS sushi. For a real first time experience try their dynamite roll, bakudan, teriyaki chicken, spider roll, or California. SUPERB place, I go there so much now they know me by name.
Umi sushi is the bomb!! The rolls are huge. I love the nigiri. The menu says two pieces but they always give me three. The prices are reasonable and the service is awesome.
This place is small but the food is really good. Good price for the amount they serve. Rainbow roll is their best.
My fiancé and I are very picky when we go eat out for sushi. However, when we went to this cute little restaurant the ambience was excellent, they served high quality fresh sushi, and the service was great.
It’s a must try if you’re a sushi lover! You will not be disappointed.
Nice atmosphere, staff, and DELICIOUS FOOD 🤤🤤🍣🍣
Highly recommend their tempura/deep fried sushi 👌🏻🙆🏻♀️👌🏻
Ice cream for dessert 🍨 ❣️❣️
Great little spot! We were very happy with the service and food was excellent. Yakisoba noodles, shrimp tempura and a teriyaki chicken roll for the kids and the small $50 sushi boat for the parents! Did not disappoint, great value for the quality of food and really hit the spot. My 10 year old daughter said it was the best sushi she’s ever had! Well done Umi!
You will be paying top dollar for one of Winnipeg highest quality sushi here.
Beautiful ambiance, presentation and service were most excellent.
Will definitely be back for more.
