Had an amazing experience dining here, would highly recommend it! We booked a table for later that day and although they were busy, they managed to squeeze us in. So glad they could - the sashimi was fresh and the sushi was delicious. Particularly enjoyed the dragon roll. The service was perfect - the staff were friendly, attentive and generous. Will definitely be back in future.

I came here for the 5* reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The waiting staff were as good as the food was delicious. I would highly recommend!

Came here to try their lunch special and it didn’t disappoint. I ordered the tonkatsu and it was truly delicious! For £13 (10% service fee included) it’s really good value too. Staff were friendly and I didn’t even wait 10 minutes for my food. Will definitely come back to try some of their other options.

Absolutely incredible Japanese food with friendly service. Can't recommend this place enough, the miso soup here is some of the best I've had in the area honestly! Great selection of food and huge ramen portions, definitely worth the money. Would love to revisit, might become somewhat of a regular myself!

Very delicious, fresh, and authentic Japanese food that is reasonably priced! The waitress who served us this evening was lovely and friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving Japanese food. An added bonus: There's a multistorey carpark two minutes walk away that is free of charge after 6pm from Monday to Saturday, and completely free on Sunday.

Excellent food and attentive service. I haven’t tasted food like this since my last trip to Tokyo. Would highly recommend trying this restaurant.

Must visit when around Twickenham area and wanting some Japanese. Worth prebooking as usually busy, particularly over the weekend. The mains and sushi are great quality and served rather quickly & portions are slightly above average. We had 2 sushi rolls, gyoza, 2 mains & the aubergine for two which was plenty. In particular the Rock prawns and Miso aubergine where delicious. Excellent service which was very polite & attentive - definitely recommended!

My wife and I came in for another wonderful sushi-dinner at the weekend and, having been enjoying this place for years (first in its former Richmond location and more recently in Twickenham), felt it was about time to leave the 5-star review Umi deserves. Menu: excellent wide selection. Sushi quality: outstanding. Ambience: intimate, comfortable and pleasant. Service: friendly, helpful, welcoming. An especial 'thank you' must go to Manager Bobby whose warmth, kindness and attention to detail have kept us coming back for the last decade!

The restaurant is very cute and I love the hospitality. The workers are really sweet. I would come again. A little comment on the food: the sushi rice I got was a big dry and the miso black cod was just a few minuets over cooked. But overall, the flavors were just delicious!

Nice place, always welcoming. We discovered this place in one rainy evening walking on Twickenham High street. Since the first time we are been amazed from the freshness of the food, especially the sushi, and the unique flavour of the dishes. Personally i love the special flavour of Tuna Tataki, marinated Tofu, Nasu Dengaku Eggplants, fried Rice with Pork, and Kurogoma ice cream( Black Sesame ice-cream) absolutely amazing taste! The Plums wine is the best, and every time we come back for a dinner, we never stop at 2 chalices only… :-D Very tidy place, always, with a very relaxing and intimate atmosphere. The personell at the service is always kind, smiling and welcoming. We continue to come back happily. Clean and tidy toilets. Prices in the average. Thank you Umi, you always give us lovely time to share.

I had a very enjoyable meal with my friends at UMI today! The food was very delicious especially the prawn tempura which was served exceptionally crispy. The volcano sushi was very good too. As an avid fan of Japanese cuisine, I would say that the food here is really great Japanese food. The staff is friendly and the place is clean and tidy. Would highly recommend!

We are so lucky to have a place like this in our town. I’ve had sushi around the world and would rate this little gem as one of the best. From food, to hospitality, to atmosphere, Umi sushi is tatetastic!!! I can’t tell enough people about how deliciously spot on this place is. The staff is as gorgeously amazing as the little pieces of heaven on the dishes they serve. I’m always looking forward to returning. Thank you Umi sushi for doing Japanese cuisine delightfully right!

Definetly the best japanese in Twickenham and One of the best japanese restuarents in London .

Excellent restaurant, food is superb. Not too pricey and very friendly staff. Beware if you pop in between 12 and 2pm I would advise to booking a table.

Thanks for a brilliant birthday dinner! Would highly recommend you book for a Friday or Saturday night. Sorry about my photos. I think I couldn't help myself and started eating then remembered to take pictures. 😂

I was pleasantly surprised by Umi during my first visit: fried chicken was juice and tender on the outside and crispy on the outside, sushi and sashimi were fresh (tuna belly and mackerel not as good as rest but understandable as it’s a budget Japanese), mix tempura was also one of the best tempura I had, batter was light and crunchy. Salmon teriyaki bento was cooked to perfection too. Recommend 100% and definitely would revisit. 🥰

Great Japanese restaurant just off Twickenham high street, I went for a teriyaki tuna bento box. Really tasty, fresh flavours was packed full of gyoza, rice, salads and more. Nice lunchtime option, and staff were really friendly. The optional service charge wasn’t optional, cheeky.

Went for dinner here for the first time tonight, it was amazing! The food was all beautiful (our favorites were the aubergine starter and ramen mains), but the best part was the service. Everyone who served us was friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back.

I don't really write Google reviews but I feel like I have to after coming across Umi and having a meal here. The assorted sashimi is wonderful - very fresh and delicious! The dragon roll is beautifully presented, with prawn and avocado. Tempura is also great, the batter was just right, crispy and not too thick. The servings are of generous portions. Service was friendly and the food came quickly. The manager even kindly explained to us what all the different kinds of sashimi were! I love Japanese food and I feel like Umi is one of the best Japanese restaurants in London I've ever had. Will definitely be returning if I'm in the area again!

Lovely evening had here with a friend. Small restaurant so make sure you book, especially towards the end of the week. Place was packed when I was there. Does mean that the place feels buzzing which helps with the atmosphere. We ordered a mix of started, sushi and sashimi platter, and some individual sushi hand rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious. Drink selection was enough to suit most requirements. Add in the fact that the service is friendly and efficient, the place strikes a good balance between formal and informal, and pricing is relatively good value compared to some in Central with an uptick in quality over most… and I recommend this place if you’re in the area.

Great food, really high quality, looking forward to my next visit

Very fresh and delicious!! 😋 good to have an authentic Japanese restaurant locally!

We had a pretty-okay last lunch in London here. The service was splendid. We ordered eel roll, inari, curry katsu bento, and spicy chicken ramen. The sushi was alright, but as a hopeless ramentic, I was a tad bit disappointed with their ramen as nothing in the ramen bowl tasted Japanese and some bits of the noodles came clumped together. What surprised me (not in a good way) was the bell peppers and bean sprouts. I know some parts of Japan do use bean sprouts in ramen to provide a different texture but I haven’t seen Japanese ramen with bell peppers in my entire life. In addition, the chicken still carried some sort of stinky taste when I chewed it, which meant the chicken meat didn’t soak up the broth properly. The meat should have been marinated ahead of time to mask up the smell (if it’s kept frozen in advance). That said, I think their food is value for the money, especially their lunch set menu, since each lunch set comes with gyoza and miso soup. Perhaps other dishes taste better. I just had a bad luck with the ramen. Curious to hear what Japanese diners here think about the ramen though! Other than that, I liked their toilet - it’s sparkling clean!

Nice food and good service! Ideal place for gathering or enjoying selfie meal.

Fabulous lunch in Twickenham 👍🏻 Very delicious Japanese cuisine with reasonable prices. Great service from friendly staffs. Highly recommend to anyone who loves Japanese food. Absolutely will come again and again👍🏻
