Umi

About

Tucked away in the heart of Buckhead at Two Buckhead Plaza, Umi has established itself as a prominent destination for Japanese cuisine in Atlanta. The restaurant offers a sophisticated, modern atmosphere characterized by a spacious sushi bar and a design that balances an authentic aesthetic with a dark, intimate ambiance. With a strong 4.5-star rating from over a thousand reviews, it has become a frequent recommendation for those seeking high-quality, fresh fish and creative culinary presentations. The menu features a wide range of offerings, from traditional nigiri and sashimi to specialty rolls and hot dishes like Wagyu steak and lobster tempura. Guests often highlight the freshness of the ingredients and the thoughtful curation of the Omakase experience. While the restaurant is a popular choice for special occasions and business dinners, visitors should be prepared for a lively, high-energy environment. Navigating to the entrance can be a unique experience for first-time guests, but for those who prioritize elevated flavors and a vibrant setting, Umi remains a notable fixture in the local dining scene.
