Umi Japanese Restaurant (DC)

Took 1.5 hours for sushi to arrive. Plus their MINIMUM tip online is 20%! Sushi was decent, a little flavorless. Won't be ordering from Umi again.

This will be my first review, but I had to because the 5-star thing might lull people into feeling comfortable with this place's sushi. The sushi that arrived at my place a few nights ago was foul. I had to force down every bite because I was hungry and left over a substantial portion. Old fish, delivered after 60 minutes of waiting. Won't order sushi from here again. Bad even by DC standards.

I order sushi from Umi about 2-3 times a month and consider it pretty good for delivery. They also have decent spring rolls and miso soup.

This is the freshest sushi I've had in DC. I used to think all sushi was the same until I tried this-the quality of the tuna roll and salmon roll were much better than I've had at other local sushi eateries. We will definitely order from Umi again. Also-the sweet potato roll is the best!

OK sushi, fast friendly delivery, I prefer Satay club, but Umi is a very nice change, with other menu options.

A little pricy for the quantity, but the fish was fresh and the delivery came rather quickly.

Food is alway delicious and the delivery times are generally great. Food a bit more expensive than necessary, but I still keep ordering!

It can take a while but very solid for delivery sushi.

I ordered a the steak Teriyaki. I could tell the food would have been good if it hadn't been freezing cold when it got here. The food took over an hour to arrive. I called to complain and they sent me another order of steak, but no rice which was also cold, which is why I am giving them 2 stars instead of 3. If you charge $30 for lunch it should get there in a reasonable amount of time and it should be warm.

Good Food, Delivery Time Outrageous. The time quoted for delivery was 30-45 minutes to my location. The driver showed up after 1 hour and 20 minutes. Just be prepared for long delivery times.

Since this place opened, I've been consistently impressed with the quality of the sushi--the sashimi, in particular, is notably superior to other comparably-priced options in the neighborhood. And I've found the delivery to be prompt and friendly. Some options seem more reasonably priced than others.

The sushi was very well prepared. The salmon teriyaki was tasty but overdone and dry...probably from continued heating during delivery.

Place is hit and miss some of the dishes are not good but some of the rolls are fantastic and it's the best sushi in Dupont-AdMo-Woodley area.

I just waited over 2 hours for a package full of warm garbage. I did get a refund though.
