Absolutely superb place. One of the best takeaways in london with a great selection. Personally love the teriyaki salmon one or the ebi prawn but whatever selection we get, we’re never disappointed

Ordered (via Deliveroo) from the Umi many, many times over the last few years and it never disappoints. The sushi is always fresh and tasty, the bento boxes are generally good value and the few Korean items they have on the menu are great. This time I ordered the spicy Korean chicken and really enjoyed - wish I had bought two portions! It is a little expensive but in line with the area and definitely high enough quality to warrant it.

Nice little place with decent fresh fish. Crunchy spicy tuna roll was nice, lightly breaded and stuffed with tuna! At lunchtime, the Chicken Kara Age Bento for a tenner was tasty! Owner very friendly and accommodating!
