  • Hot spot
Umi Sake House is a unique Japanese cuisine restaurant in the Belltown area of Seattle featuring the highest quality seafood available in the Northwest, a large izakaya-style tapas menu, and boasting a sake list of over 60 imported Japanese bottles. The interior is multi-faceted, with a black slate tiled traditional dining room, a gorgeous 14 person capacity wooden sushi bar, a semi private "tatami" room which holds 12 people, a larger 25 person private dining room, an enclosed "back patio" casual dining room complete with tropical garden, a black concrete liquor bar with custom sake cocktails and fusion traditional cocktails. The variety of atmospheres allows for a different experience with every visit, and the vastness and quality of the menu does the same. For the budding sake enthusiast or the seasoned veteran, the sake menu at Umi is bottle for bottle the best found anywhere outside of Japan!

    Food was good, not great. Restaurant was surprisingly loud. Table was more of a lounge area, making it difficult to lean over a plate while eating. Would not recommend for a party with hard of hearing guests.

    I’ve been going to Umi for more than 10 years. It is the best sushi in town. The Mango Tango is my favorite sushi roll of all time. Everything is fresh and delicious. Because the restaurant is so popular, it is quite loud. It can be difficult to have a conversation with your dinner partner.

    The sushi is delicious, but it's very expensive and we generally felt unwelcome and rushed through our nearly $300 experience.

    First time at Umi and loved the ambiance. Nice to have a few lots very close by for parking. The fish was very fresh and the rolls had more quantity than expected. Good selection on happy hour menu plus fantastic sake selection. The staff were very friendly and didn’t rush us at all.

    We used to go here all the time and loved it. It’s been a couple years, and we were super disappointed. The food quality has really changed. Not much flavor. We won’t be returning.

    It was our first time and we were delighted to find we were able to order from the happy hour menu (5:30 reservation). 16 plates later, we were stuffed and it was a great value! 👍🏽👍🏽
