Umu Japanese&Thai - Japanese restaurant in Wesley Chapel - 2653 Bruce B Downs Blvd #120A, USA

as a sushi fanatic… this places sushi was absolutely yummy! The soup dishes was missing flavor but sashimi and sushi rolls were most definitely the freshest! (Sorry missing some pics was too good to resist) The scallop triadito was the best ever as well as the eel&avo handroll! I can’t forget to mention how nice the staff is :)

Can’t believe I haven’t posted a review on one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa until now! This is hands down the best Thai/sushi restaurant in the greater Tampa Bay Area. The owners are of Thai background, but they are so passionate about food. Everything that we’ve tasted on the menu so far is so delicious and well prepared. They serve only the best fish at such a great price. We often come here primarily for the sushi/nigiri, and you definitely get good value for the cost you pay. It’s fairly priced considering the quality. We haven’t tried their omakase yet, which I am excited about. My favorite Thai dish on the menu is the eggplant dish! It’s hard to describe, but it is such a good balance of crunch, sour, and umami flavors. Whenever we have guests from out of town, this is one of the stops we bring them to! 10/10 would recommend!!

Popped in for lunch. Everything was lovely! Excellent service. Sushi was fresh and tasty. Will have to try for dinner!

We made a reservation for Saturday night and our table was ready when we arrived. Our server was great - very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the dishes. We had sushi and tried a couple of the dinners - everything was delicious, fresh, came out in a timely manner, and portion sizes were good. The only thing to note is that they do not have a bar and only serve beer and wine - and both options are overpriced. Definitely recommend and we will be back. It's well decorated and a nice environment

Really good food. Great atmosphere. Great service. Bit more pricey than the usual casual sushi spot but it is of higher quality. Overall great.

Thought it would be a good time to add an updated review. 1. Ambience setup has been refreshed. Decor has become more neutral. Music tunes have balanced between Jazz and R&B. Not bad food music but it becomes quite confusing, based on the atmosphere layout and the type of cuisine. Drink 2. I have always ordered Hot Sake here. This occasion and the last two (I'd hoped we're isolated events), it completely lacked any flavor. Tasted like water with drizzles of vodka/gin. Lacked the smooth, flavor with gentle burn that I'd grown accustomed to over the years. Food Appetizer - Kara Age Chicken was good but a bit salty. Main - Menu favorites like the Volcano roll are now gone. Otherwise, ordered 3 sushi roll plates (incl 2 tempura) which were good, but not exciting. There was a measure of sophistication and flavor that's missing. Overall - Much has changed since COVID. Perhaps Umu appears to be trying to get its groove back, but for what used to be a packed location, the experience now has been very underwhelming. What it needs now is some new Asian infusion/creativity, attention to quality and a refined identity /direction based on its roots. For what it's worth, service was still excellent 👌🏽

Their specialty sushi rolls are truly works of art! Each bite seems better than the last. I couldn’t decide which I liked best because every thing I tried was top notch! I’m gluten free and they have labeled dishes as well as GF soya sauce you can ask for.

Excellent Service and the most delicious food & beverages. We personally enjoyed the Avocado salad, the super delicious eggplant dinner plate as well as the Vegetable rolls and the Cobra Roll. It was difficult to chose a dessert so we choice two and went with the Godiva hot chocolate cake and the Coconut cake. Both were too good to stop eating, be sure to try those for sure. The location is convenient and I think this is the best restaurant in Wesley Chapel. Professional and accommodating staff and tranquil comfortable environment.
