Editorial Review for Umi Sake House – by Hannah Levin
The Scene
Recessed lighting, minimalist decor and a cool slate floor set the scene at this chic, urban sake house. The low-ceilinged bar space attracts Belltown trendseekers, while a quieter night can be had on the enclosed atrium in the back, where skylights and potted trees evoke the feeling of outdoor dining without interference from the variable Seattle weather or noisy downtown revelers.
The Food
With a dizzying selection of pan fried, baked, grilled, steamed and raw items, a meal could be built from the appetizer menu alone. Try the "Tower of King Crab," comprised of generous slices of king crab, avocados, snow crab, and tomato salsa with cilantro and yuzu aioli. While an array of hot Pan Asian dishes are offered, the seductive sushi selection is the real star. Sample the house roll with silken scallop, cucumber, tobiko, and avocado, all wrapped in a ruby-hued cocoon of tuna, or go straight for the daily fresh sheet and follow your server's suggestions.

My first real experience with sushi was at Umi Sake House and has since never been surpassed. The fish was very fresh and the rolls were amazing. I recommend the California Crunch. This place is very busy so I recommend reservations. It's worth the wait though because the food is incredible!
Pros: Freshest sushi in town
Cons: Crowded and busy

I have only been to Umi once, that was enough for me. The food wasn't too bad but for what you get it is pretty over priced. The service was not that great but the ambiance is wonderful. It has such a chic modern feel. The music was entirely too loud though. I don't mind loud music, just not while I eat or am trying to have a conversation with the person in front of me. Overall though I would say it is better then some of the other sushi places in seattle, it just would not be my first pick.
Pros: Great decoration and style
Cons: over priced with too loud of music.
