Umii Modern Izakaya

Great personal service, and fresh tasting sashimi. We had ordered a mix of both cooked and raw dishes and weren't disappointed. You must try the assorted nigiri. I'm so glad I've discovered this hidden gem.

Excellent service and incredibly fresh and tasty food. The place has not disappointed me in service presentation or quality.

Price is what you would expect at a top five star venue no complaints.

Amazing service by George and the staff. Constantly checking up on my table for extra water. Food is excellent, especially the udon. Flavour is a mix between traditional and modern. The matcha gelato was a masterpiece of its own, could taste the real matcha flavours and very cute presentation. Love the additonal drinks given to us at the end.

I just enjoyed my dinner at this restaurant tonight and I had to rush home to share my opinion! I absolutely LOVED this restaurant. It is a bit hard to find, but when you do, it really is a gem. I went for a birthday dinner and we ordered about 4 or 5 dishes and shared them. 

We ordered the 
- SUSHI MORIAWASE (ASSORTED) 6PCS
Saikyou Salmon, Tuna, Hiramasa Kingfish, Scallop, Eel, King Prawn, NZ Snapper
This dish was so good! It had really fresh and high quality ingredients and was an absolute joy to eat. 

-WAGYU YAKI CHA SOBA
Wagyu tepan yaki and green tea noodle with tamago, scallion, and aonori
The soba noodles were cooked beautifully. The sauce was a little on the sweet side for my personal taste, but overall really nice. 

-GRILLED WAGYU SALAD 100G
Yakiniku sauce marinaded wagyu with salad
This salad was really good also! It complemented the soba noodles above really well. I wished there was a little more wagyu beef rather than the small chunks, but overall the flavour was well balanced and the beef itself was really well cooked. 

- SOFT SHELL CRAB IN BAO (special for the evening) 
I liked that the serving was massive! One serving was enough for four of us to eat. Very generous however, I found that the dish was average and didn't really excite me that much. 

-FRESH OCEAN ON SPOONS
This dish absolutely made my evening. The fish was so fresh and so high quality that it just melts in your mouth. I HIGHLY recommend this dish and I would definitely come back to this restaurant just for this dish. Not only was it visually stunning, the flavour combinations along with the high quality ingredients topped it off. 

FINALLY, the manager was nice enough to give everyone a peach jelly "shot" with 3% alcohol and berries. This was complementary, which made it even better. 

I absolutely enjoyed my experience at Umii and would love to come back again. Yes, the prices are relatively dearer than normal, but the food and service was great! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Umii Modern Izakaya is one of the most funkiest Japanese restaurants you will in Inner-Western Sydney. They serve a wide array of fresh seafood dishes and your usual Japanese dishes with a modern twist.

For my visit, I only opted to go with a dessert and I ordered the smashed pavlova gelato which was spot on. The plating was so elegant and the taste was very good.

The pricing is a little bit at high at this place but if you don't mind paying premium prices for high quality dishes then this is your place!
