Who would think you could get fresh sushi in a mountain town of North Carolina? My Saba(mackerel) and sweet shrimp were as fresh as I have ever had , and I eat sushi often. They only order in small quantities so I guess thats the secret. Sushi roll selection was average.

Best sushi this side of Tokyo. We enjoy this restaurant on all our family's special occassions. Large variety of menu items for those who do not enjoy sushi.

Have been here several times. Great service and food. Sushi and tempura are always delicious. Take something for children to do while they wait. Handmade food takes time to prepare.

I have eaten Japanese food all over the country and this is by far the best I have ever had! Sushi rolls that were more creative and delicious that you will find anywhere.

We have been to Umi about six times, and our latest visit was the best. We met friends there for dinner on Monday evening. Two of us had the bento boxes, one had the green curry with tofu, and I don't remember the name of the fourth dish, but it was from the Thai menu, and all four meals were... More

I was needing a sushi fix and was a little hesitant about filling this fix in Hendersonville but I was pleasantly surprised. The location makes it easy to find.

I have had the chance to eat sushi all over the world - from Scotland (don't do it) to Japan. Frankly, I wasn't expecting much but I was wrong! The sashimi was absolutely fresh and the uni was marvelous - two things that are easy to ruin if your fish isn't pristine. The service was excellent. If we are in... More
