Umami Sushi

I really want to give 2.5 but whatever I’ll give them 3.
Pro: great service, very nice staff and attentive
Cons: ordered spicy tuna, Philadelphia roll, dynamite and California. The dynamite and Cali roll were absolutely tasteless. It was literally all crab meat and rice. Lots of rice… It literally tasted like nothing, no flavor no texture… The tempura shrimp was tiny.
The spicy tuna was giant slippery chunks of tuna with some odd red sauce on top it was not spicy it was OK but I would never eat it again.
The Phillie roll was so terrible, I literally took one bite and spat it in my napkin again no flavor just fish rice and it was just a fail. Good appearance, big pieces but just taste/​texture was a fail.
Overall you get a bang for ur buck you get GIANT rolls but this is a kind of place that focuses on quantity over quality.
I would stick with Cali roll there because it’s little room
For error for them to mess it up and try to make some
Elaborate roll that is filled with bunch of nothing stuff and whatever sauce that tastes like nothing…
Again I’m sure people there are happy because their clientele is «Langley» people so to a person like me who is a sushi connoisseur I would never ever eat there again, but for your average joe who wants to have a safe canadianized «fraser valley-​ized» sushi experience then this is for you.

Our Friday night takeout for over 3 years. Consistently the highest quality fish, best taste, friendly service all at a fair price. We were recently in Hawaii which is known for its sushi, Unami was just as good.

Great sushi for a great price. Dinner boxes are huge, service is friendly, place is clean, and sashimi is fresh.

This was a really good find.
I had no idea that there was a Sushi restaurant in this area until my boss had told me about it and we ordered take out for lunch on a Friday.
The restaurant was very quiet for lunch time on a Friday. At 12pm there was only 3 tables.
I had ordered the T.A.C Roll and chopped scallop cone. And boy were they delicious. The cone was over flowing with chopped scallop and the roll was so delicious.
Spoke to my co-​worker afterwards and she enjoyed her Alaska Roll and Veggie Sunomono.
If I didn’t live so far away, I’d come here more often to eat.

If I want something simple that hits the spot, I go here. Their agadeshi tofu is well done and unlike their competitors in the area. I can’t stand pathetic soft/​greasy/​not fried with proper hot oil tofu. I’m giving them the high rating for this attention to detail alone. It comes garnished with scallions and the tempura sauce.
Friendly staff. There used to be a stuck up, grouchy young girl that was very pushy with me sitting at a 4 person table even though the whole restaurant was empty. She must’ve been fired or hated her job (which wasn’t hard to tell). Glad I didn’t let her turn me off and she’s gone! Now loving the restaurant and all the staff.

I love this place. Great food and wonderful staff who are always happy to see you. The sushi rice is the best I’ve ever had and the fish is always cut beautifully. The crispy roll is delicious with a perfect creamy, spicy sauce. The lunch boxes are huge and the tempura is perfectly coated. This is also the only sushi restaurant where I’ve liked the miso soup. :) I’ve tried many sushi restaurants all over the lower mainland, but nothing compares to Umami Langley!

I enjoyed the lunch box and found the potion more than reasonable for the price. Husband liked the rolls, tho some pieces seemed perhaps too fat to eat all at once. Tea was lovely. Setting is nice and you even have the option of the more traditional seating. Staff were very polite. We would return again.

2 stars. For service & good spicy sauce. Otherwise, all I have to say is that lunch today was a colossal waste of money. WAY too much rice on the rolls (& too little fish) & under the nigiri. And not even good rice. Over cooked, under seasoned & mushed. You should be able to see the grains. The octopus tasted like fake crab & the saba wasn’t as firm as it should be. I always go to a different sushi restaurant, where I’m a regular, but decided to step outside the box today. Bad idea. :(I left most of the rice & some of the roll on my plate & left angry & hungry.

Food was decent and service was ok. Although I do hate when you sit and wait for the bill. I did like that they had a forbidden rice option for sushi but the rice wasn’t cooked perfect so maybe should have gotten regular sushi rice. Overall it was an ok lunch. A bit pricey though. It was 42 bucks after tip: we ordered 1 large japanese beer, 1 spicy combo and 1 red dragon roll. It was plenty of food but still feel like it was over priced for lunch.

Great, tasty sushi, and large pieces at very reasonable prices. I like this place because they don’t skimp on ingredients or amount/​size of roll. Also, they have nice traditional booths. Staff when I went were very friendly. I will most definitely be back.
