Umi Kitchen And Sushi - Spokane

Enjoyed our dining on the patio. Very attentive wait staff. Drinks came out quickly. Questions on the menu were answered, food was presented well, and everything tasted wonderfully. The salad on the bento box meal came a bit roo over dressed. However, the dressing was lightly flavored and delicious. Recommend the tempura and teriyaki salmon. The beef skewers and sashimi were also excellent.

When trying a new Sushi place I often order Nigiri Sushi or Sashimi so I can gauge how good their fish is, absent of all the sauces and other competing flavors. This allows me to check texture, flavor, freshness, and overall quality. If this litmus test pans out then I come back.Umi passed my test. The fish was of acceptable to good quality though not exceptional. My tuna roll was sloppy on the ends and had julienned cucumbers as opposed to avocado. Service was good.This place was very busy. The atmosphere was very casual with outside dining.Parking is a premium and you may need to park and walk.Price. My basic tuna roll and 8 pieces of Nigeria Sushi was 74 dollars so it is not the cheapest place in town. If budget is not a concern, you like a lively atmosphere and some decent food then try this place out.

I ate here with my sister while visiting Spokane. We sat downstairs, had attentive waiter and enjoyed the ambiance with the view of Spokane. We really enjoyed the seaweed salad and especially the salmon skill roll. Salmon skin roll is my usual order in sushi restaurants, and theirs was excellent! The spicy scallop roll however was not to our taste. Instead of the texture or flavor of scallop, it looked and tasted like flaked tuna. We double checked that our order was not mistaken for the tuna roll, but nope we'd ordered and paid for the scallop. 5 stars for everything else, but stars off for the scallop roll.

Very good. Price is a little high but not too bad. Lots of food for the price.Food: 5/5
