Ume

Relaxing atmosphere, amazing food, excellent service. Overall my favorite dining experience so far. Went here to celebrate our first year anniversary. Absolutely LOVED everything about this place. When you walk in, you remove your shoes and wash your hands. As soon as we entered the dinning area, we were greeted with a warm welcome and smile from everyone. The omakase was amazing. I loved that you basically decide how you eat. We opted to create the hand rolls as was suggested by the waiter. It came with soup, 12 pieces, nori sheets, white sushi rice, soy sauce, and a selection of spices to pair each of the 12 pieces with. We ordered the white peach drink and yuzu matcha drink. They were both very refreshing and good. At the end, they gave us a scoop of ice cream to celebrate our occasion. HIGHLY recommend coming here to dine with a partner, family or friends. I will definitely be dinning here again and trying other delicious things they have on the menu.

Interesting plate of sushi with peculiar selection of salts

I enjoyed this place. The setting and vibe was great, quiet and calming. Very different from typical omakase and is a special experience. Service was very accommodating. The food was very interesting. You eat it left to right as instructed. You can basically DIY it. They give you rice and seaweed to make hand rolls. I broke the seaweed in half so I would have enough pieces. But some of the fish I would eat alone to enjoy the flavors. The seasonings did have unique qualities and went well with the recommended bites. The flavors of the fish got stronger as the meal progressed. The last row is very varied in textures and flavors. I enjoyed the first few rows the most as they were more light and delicate. The soup to drink first was very good as well. Overall I would come back for a special occasion. It is a very cute little place, if you and your friends are ever in the mood to "treat yourself", this is a good spot for that.

Wonderful spot for a special occasion! Really cool experience with sitting on the ground, the different fish and flavors.

Ume is a cool sushi-set concept restaurant that is known for its set course ($78) that comes with 12 different cuts of seafood that you wrap in your own temaki (handrolls). The restaurant has a minimalist zen aesthetic with low tables (you sit on cushions with shoes off) and a garden section in the back. The set wasn't enough food for us, so we ended up getting the chirashi don from the a la carte menu - a bit pricey but well made. The staff was very accommodating and also give a little complimentary birthday dessert. All in all, the meal was ~$230 after tip including a bottle of sake with dinner.
