A truly unparalleled and unprecedented intimate dining experience. For starters, you will need a reservation, but they are easy enough to make via phone and the owners are quite responsive in getting back to you about availability. The place itself is a little unassuming from the outside, as it is part of a shopping block area with not much to see externally. Inside, however, you literally feel like you are transported to the Japanese countryside with lush and vibrant decorations, a small and romantic dining area (literally only about four or five tables), and some of the best service I have ever received. The food left me speechless. Multiple courses and multiple options are on the table with everything from a simple yet delicious miso bowl to some of the best nigiri I've ever laid my taste buds on. TL;DR version - probably some of the best sushi you will ever have this far from the coast, and the tiny yet romantic dining area with incredible service just puts icing on the cake. If Google offered 10 Stars I would give each and every one of them. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sushi, Miso Soup

Wow! Umi was a 5 star experience all around. Excellent food and atmosphere. It is small and elegant. The service goes above and beyond - we were able to learn about the family traditions and recent trips. Easily my favorite restaurant experience in Hickory! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Umi Japanese Restaurant provides an intimate and cozy atmosphere, excellent food and wonderful service. After living in Japan for a number of years, this restaurant meets my high standards for an outstanding Japanese experience. In addition to serving sushi, this restaurant prepares and serves authentic cooked Japanese meals.
