The restaurant

Here in the neighborhood.

Before Umi, this space was home to San Francisco Thai Bar-B-Que. We opened here in 2008, and we’re still an owner-run restaurant, with chef Stewart Chen here day in, day out.

Our focus is the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into each dish. We keep the food straightforward and the prices fair.

The fish are filleted in-house, with Japanese fish among the daily specials. There’s nigiri and sashimi, rolls, and Japanese favorites from the kitchen. At lunch, there are bentos, too.

Join us inside, take a table outside, or settle into a sidewalk-facing seat for sushi and sake. Reservations are welcome, and more than half our dining room is kept for walk-ins.
