What people say, in short
Umi at Stassney and I-35 has a base of repeat sushi recommendations, particularly for delivery and happy-hour value. One diner praises the range of rolls they have tried, and another singles out the X Roll. The positive accounts coexist with complaints that quality has declined or does not justify the cost, plus a strongly negative overall experience. A critic compares its sushi unfavorably with Uchi at a similar cost, contrasting with supporters who choose Umi as a comparatively affordable regular stop. The accounts do not add up to unanimous enthusiasm.
