  • Hot spot
Umi Sake House is a unique Japanese cuisine restaurant in the Belltown area of Seattle featuring the highest quality seafood available in the Northwest, a large izakaya-style tapas menu, and boasting a sake list of over 60 imported Japanese bottles. The interior is multi-faceted, with a black slate tiled traditional dining room, a gorgeous 14 person capacity wooden sushi bar, a semi private "tatami" room which holds 12 people, a larger 25 person private dining room, an enclosed "back patio" casual dining room complete with tropical garden, a black concrete liquor bar with custom sake cocktails and fusion traditional cocktails. The variety of atmospheres allows for a different experience with every visit, and the vastness and quality of the menu does the same. For the budding sake enthusiast or the seasoned veteran, the sake menu at Umi is bottle for bottle the best found anywhere outside of Japan!

    Umi Sake house was so good- we were on vacation in Seattle for only a few days and went twice! The fish was so fresh, the rolls were so innovative and creative and the space is really cool how it is indoor/outdoor and they have all different kinds of unusual seating like couches! Only negative was it was VERY loud!

    The fresh fish is obviously the star but the filet mignon was so good. Happy hour also has a lot of great options and service is always warm and welcoming.

    Food was good, not great. Restaurant was surprisingly loud. Table was more of a lounge area, making it difficult to lean over a plate while eating. Would not recommend for a party with hard of hearing guests.

    I’ve been going to Umi for more than 10 years. It is the best sushi in town. The Mango Tango is my favorite sushi roll of all time. Everything is fresh and delicious. Because the restaurant is so popular, it is quite loud. It can be difficult to have a conversation with your dinner partner.

    The sushi is delicious, but it's very expensive and we generally felt unwelcome and rushed through our nearly $300 experience.
