Umi Sushi
At risk of turning my blog into a sushi review site (after my many reviews from Sydney, and my last one from Lahore), I am pushing ahead this week with my review of a lovely Japanese restaurant in Sydney’s Darling Harbour; Umi Sushi.
Umi Sushi is a great place I came across while searching for a reasonably priced, tasty and pleasant sushi joint in the entertainment precinct. Umi Sushi ticks all these boxes.
The contemporary, Japanese-inspired setting is the perfect place to chow down on classics like prawn, salmon, tuna and California rolls. However we decided to sit outside, dining alfresco and watching the world go by – highly recommended.
The plates are colourful, sushi-train style servings, but the service is top-notch; restaurant style and courteous.
There’s also a range of ‘creative rolls’ – think the ‘Sydney Roll’ (salmon, cream cheese, avocado and cucumber with seared salmon belly) and the ‘Ayres Rock Roll’ (seared scallop on avocado and cucumber).
There’s also Karaage Chicken on the menu (see above), and a whole bunch of udon dishes, salads, sashimi and even dessert (black sesame pudding, anyone?). The food was all delicious, and at these prices, and near the heart of Sydney’s CBD, this might have been one of my best finds yet!
