An excellent find in Balham. Food - taste and presentation is faultless; you can tell that the chef, who also owns the restaurant, really puts his heart into his dishes. The ambience is great for a family meal or a date - I've been three times, and although it's far from where I live, I cannot find anywhere else that serves better Japanese food than the Umi. The freshness and quality of the ingredients used cannot be beaten; it does aim to be of a higher quality restaurant than the usual chains.
Amazing sushi and great ambiance! We spent a lovely Sunday evening and enjoyed the sashimi �
Ordered (via Deliveroo) from the Umi many, many times over the last few years and it never disappoints. The sushi is always fresh and tasty, the bento boxes are generally good value and the few Korean items they have on the menu are great. This time I ordered the spicy Korean chicken and really enjoyed - wish I had bought two portions! It is a little expensive but in line with the area and definitely high enough quality to warrant it.
