Had my lunch with my partner after the dragon boat races. We each ordered one bowl of Udon, which is recommended. It tasted a bit sweet. Sushi instead is not as flesh as expected.
Umi Sushi & Udon is a casual Japanese restaurant situated in Darling Harbour. They offer both sushi train styled dining as well as separate seating with table service. They have great selection of sushi & a la carte menu.
Pretty good happy hour deals. They have $6 drinks including some varieties of beer (e.g. Asahi), wine and spirits - an absolute bargain for this part of town.
Located in Darling Quarter, it has a japanese feel inside. There's a sushi train here, you're typical japanese fare with entrees, sashimi, nigiri, small nibblies, hot pot, udon and more. Great place for drinks too (they have a really good range)! Try the Calpico Passion (calpico water, passion fruit and peach puree), really enjoyed this. Actually I enjoyed everything here. you can't go wrong with anything from the menu. Definitely an all round pleaser. Great with family, friends or work colleagues. Everything is fresh.
I had:
-wagyu beef tataki
-kingfish belly nigiri
-soft shell crab bao
-flame grilled cheese scallop
-spicy wagyu beef hotpot
-seared nigiri assorted platter
-matcha dessert
-vanilla icecream
Highly rate everything. I enjoyed the night. After dinner, go for a stroll in Darling Harbour to complete the night.
fresh sashimi and a lot of variation of japanese food. presentation quite nice and enjoy the sake there. They have lunch special offer which is can be very cheap
Service and food were all fantastic, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and had a choice of being seated at the sushi train or the tables, we opted for the tables having a pram and a toddler. They were doing a weekday special $3.80 a plate Mon-Fri (lunch times minus Sashimi and handrolls) so after we placed our order from the menus we just went and grabbed from the train whatever we wanted. The kids menu came at $15 including food, a juice, ice cream and a lollipop, it comes out in very attractive containers too so your little one's will love it!
Umi Sushi & Udon is a contemporary Japanese restaurant and is one of the most kid friendly sushi restaurants in Sydney. Umi is located close to the children’s playground in Darling Quarter (and a short stroll from the water park near the new Sydney Exhibition Centre). There is a kids menu which offers either a kids bento or the kids udon set.
Better than the George street branch - and more choice. Food slightly more on the expensive side though. Good service. We had the Cold Udon, Sashimi and Agedashi Tofu with Enoki Sauce.
Quite a spacious sushi train joint near the harbour area. I liked how fresh the fish and scallops were but I wish they were a little bit more cheaper! There are different coloured plates at different price tags and the fresh fish items are often in the pricier colour range. Other than that, great variety of traditional and fusion sushis. Excellent staff too!
On a humid and stormy Sydney evening, we decided to take cover in what looked like a cozy sushi-train style Japanese restaurant. There were only a few people in the place, and we wanted some quiet time so it definitely seemed perfect. Seriously, this place looks a little dark and odd on the outside, but it is ultra cozy once you step in. I love that both the sushi kitchen, and main kitchen are completely open, and the bar is also visible to all the customers.
Price is slightly expensive, however the beef udon noodle soup that I had was rather appetising. I would definitely recommend people to come and try this place out. This is a restaurant of high quality and has a good location.
Yum... Popped in for sushi train.. So fresh and so much variety (though not many yellow plates)! Try the tuna and groper, but all is good washed down with Japanese beer! Do yourself a favour!
Friendly people and very spacious place. Sushi is was ok not the greatest but not bad. I really liked it their salad and udon they tasted amazing and the atmosphere was great. I recommend this place for any occasions.
Thanks to Groupon, I got to try this restaurant out with a good price! Me and my friend had a Sukiyaki for two including udon and green tea ice cream with a bottle of wine for only just $59. What a bargain! Umi is a busy restaurant but they still manage to provide good service. Their beef and vegetables are very fresh. Udon is smooth and fresh. Loved it! Just observing their sushis on their sushi train, they are in reasonable size and can tell all are freshly made on the spot! Worth to try!
First time, dined wed night. Nice setup, friendly waiters and sushi chefs. The dishes from train is high quality. We shared the waygu beef, the chicken popcorn and veg tempura from menu. Very nice but the prices are high being at darling.
FRESH is the word to describe this sushi train. The taste is also above average. However, you tend to feel too salty especially the udons and their own brand sushi soy sauce. The price is tourist price at darling harbour. Make sure you use the entertainment book vouchers if u got one.
My favourite Japanese at darling harbour. If you are not sure what to have at darling harbour, come and try it. You won't regret it. The wagyu beef and spicy wagyu udon are my favourite here. Food is good for price and very very tasty. Clean decor and good location. Service could be improved however!
I ordered a duck salad, cold udon, and oyster, also my boyfriend had some rolls. the duck salad was interesting flavour and I did like it. the dipping sauce coming with cold udon was too bland to eat, so I ended up eating it with soy sauce, I was sad because udon is such a basic dish.
Awesome food - can't get enough of the beef tataki. Sake is cheap and cheerful but goes down well enough. Service could be improved but because I can speak Japanese we overcame the language barrier. Will be back. ありがとうございます。
I enjoy coming here for my sushi train fix. They have a good variety and while it can be slightly more expensive compared to some other trains in the city, the quality makes up for it.
When I have my toddler, we sit on the big tables and they have highchairs and they bring out cute cutlery for the kids. Love their sashimi, soft shell crab rolls and eel rolls.
Good selection on the sushi train and lots of other options. Well priced and the chefs will make something fresh if it's usually on the train but sold out. Quick service.
Loveeee their spicy udon! Sashimi selection and presentation is also on point. Would recommend the refreshing tataki. Order sushi from the menu if its not on the train - totally worth it
Great place with great food. Plenty of tables with outdoor seatings. Love the hotpot during winters months, but we were too busy smashing cold and warm sake so forgot to take photos of food.
It was a late Thursday night and work had just wrapped up. My colleagues and I were ready to call it a night but the pangs of hunger beckoned for a tasty meal. I asked if there were any good Korean restaurants in the neighborhood and my colleague told me there was a place real close. A couple minutes later, we ended up in front of Umi Sushi + Udon, a Japanese restaurant.
Located in Darling Harbour, Sydney, Umi Sushi + Udon was one of many dining establishments along the strip. Like others in the area, this restaurant has an open storefront and patio seating. Inside the restaurant, one will find a sushi bar with a conveyor belt that runs along the perimeter.
The Japanese restaurant is situated within the constantly-revamping Darling Quarter, a great area for dining before a show at the Sydney Entertainment Centre or the Monkey Baa Theatre. Tree-top fairy lights guide couples and groups as they bustle past a handful of trendy eating spots, and Umi Sushi is right there amongst them. The decor is mainly wooden, and with the tiled floors and roofed floating-island it certainly could pass as an popular outdoor Edokko hotspot.
The Quality of the food is pretty good, it's an average Sushi place. They do have seasonal menus and their normal menu is EXTENSIVE! They have everything from Entrees, Salads, Udon, Ramen, Sushi! The List goes on! The food is usually cooked on the spot and it does take a little while for the food to come out. The sushi train is not AS fresh. It's still pretty fresh but... I don't know. I think it's because the sushi train itself is really long, it doesn't get refilled as quick as a shorter train would! The Service of the place is very good. They're always very friendly and the waitresses are really nice, even though they don't speak much English haha. They will always greet their customers with a " Irrashaimase! - いっらしゃいませ" and " Arigatou Gozaimasu! - ありがとうございます" which is always very welcoming and it also makes you feel im
Umi has a giant sushi train in the middle of it's restaurant in Darling Quarter. It's a very busy night and a bit of a wait but I think worthwhile. Their udon dishes are tasty and very reasonably priced. There's the chicken katsu udon (with egg, splashes of seaweed, tempura flakes) and I also ordered the beef teriyaki spinach udon dish (with the same trimmings as the first udon). The sushi plates are good and consistent but I suggest you do a combination of main/sushi plates. I also tried the dessert which was a warm green tea brulee and cold mascarpone roll. I thought the brulee was nice with a crunchy top and an egg-like soft bottom. The mascarpone roll was rock hard and cold. It was a rich roll but provided contrast to the brulee. A nice dinner with some nice company :) Prices: Udon dishes range from $12 to 15, Sushi plates are colour coded and dessert was $10
it's more quality from the kids at Umi. Whether you want a sushi train fix, a bowl of noodles or a bento box you should enjoy it.

Nine months after first discovering this restaurant-masquerading-as-a-sushi-train, I’m back for a more wintery bite. Before warming my cockles with the tempting Miso Congee Hotpot with Wagyu Beef (9+), Vegetables and Fresh Udon ($32.80), I couldn’t resist revisiting some of my favourites.
Great little lunch spot. Great, friendly staff, quick service, yum sushi and udon.
Went for dinner 730 Friday night.
Service was good and helpful with our pram. The place was packed.
Had beef tataki , eggplant miso , prawn sushi roll ,BBQ squid , tuna sashimi.
It was all delicious. Thank you
Slow Service. Service is very slow, but the sushi itself was very good. I found the pricing to be extremely fair on the sushi train.
Their soy sauce is delicious too.
Bit pricey but fish is fresh. Impressed! The only thing I didn't like was how a sushi chef was checking his phone.
Good option for kids - really generous kids bento box. Big serves of menu items too.
Good opening. We went there during their opening special (I think it opened just a couple weeks ago). All of their sushi dishes were $3.60 and under. We sat at the bar and watched the kaiten sushi go by.
The bar is a bit strange because there are some bump-outs which actually make it inconvenient to grab the sushi on its way past. Try to avoid these seats.
The sushi itself was surprisingly good. There was a lot of variety, and everything we had was good. The ingredients seemed really fresh. And there was one that had beef (I think) that melted in your mouth. Delicious.
It's a bit pricey normally. But the $3.60 opening special was great.

The sushi train here is not bad, as it's in Darling Harbour the price it more expensive than the other stores, but I enjoyed their soft shell crab salad quite a lot. Their other small menus are also good. Yours truly @fooderarri
I love Umi Sushi + Udon for many reasons. Besides it being a top place with great food and more, it's where I went on the first date with my wife to be Lassie.
We recently went there for our son's birthday and we all loved it. Great spot and RECOMMENDED
Love this place, the sushi is delicious and the sashimi is always fresh. Great value for lunch but can be a little pricey for dinner.
The wait staff can be a little slow at times and even have trouble hearing when you order (I prefer my softdrink in cans or bottles instead of postmix)
I normally order the Wagyu Terriyaki Beef bento box, fresh salmon sashimi and a can of softdrink. I would also recommend the Wagyu Udon noodles if you arnt in the mood for rice.
Most of the plates on the sushi train are delicious and I'm certain that everything is made fresh on the same day. I see the chefs remind plates off the train after a short period and dispose of them.
For Japanese food that is fresh and doesn't disappoint, I highly recommend coming here.
Nice sushi place, complete with sushi train inside and other seating outside (umbrella cover). Really enjoyed the tasty salmon handroll (complete with roe) and the fresh oysters served with ponzu. The kingfish sashimi was also quite good! As was the grilled cheese scallops.
The staff here are so lovely, polite and very accommodating. The plain udon is a hit, as well as the mini avocado rolls and inari. The sushi train is such an effective layout and the atmosphere is modern with a touch of traditionalism! Will definitely return back!
