Everything is fresh and the many of the umami plates are truly, well, umami! It's hard to describe until you taste it. This is a tiny place but we always enjoy our experience, food and service included.

I have traveled all over the world, and Umi's is hands down the best sushi I have ever tasted. We live in the neighborhood and love not only the food, but also the overall friendly atmosphere offered by the servers, and we particularly enjoy the company of the chefs. They are very personable, spend time to chat with us, and...

We've heard great things about this place. We were very surprised when it didn't really come close to other try's. It was tasty enough for the area, but it didn't reach our expectations for flavor and uniqueness of sushi.

Super friendly staff and delicious food! Have been twice for lunch and both times ordered the shrimp plate, which has a ginger dressing salad (or soup), california roll, dumpling and rice.

Umi is one of our favorite Fredericksburg Japanese restaurants. In our opinion, it has probably the best Sushi in the town and compares very well with Sushi restaurants in DC and Richmond.

Amazingly fresh sushi, great variety, beautifully presented. Good sake selection as well. I visited multiple times and would go back every time I'm in the area.
UMI offers great japanese fine dining. The food is delicious and the staff provides outstanding customer service. It is my favorite Japanese Restaurant in Fredericksburg. Try the Lobster Miso Soup, avocado salad and the wonderful sushi at UMI.
Friends recommended Umi. We're glad they did! Like other reviewers, we too lived in Japan for a while and seldom find a place here that really measures up. Umi does. Excellent and reasonably priced food (try one of the bento boxes - they are excellent and very generous). Good wine list and selection of Japanese beer. Service is very upbeat...

I lived in Japan for 4 years…and I can’t say enough about this place! OFF THE CHARTS…Best Sushi in town! Don’t go anywhere else…this is the only place to eat SUSHI in Fredericksburg!! If you love Tuna....Our Favorite is Tuna Spoons...
The staff is mostly Korean, but those of us who have been to Japan several times recognize this restaurant as the real thing. Good food and good service in a nice space.
