This review is for a takeout delivery order from Uma Sushi. So I can't comment on the service or the restaurant ambience.
We ordered a Chirashi Donburi and a Oiwai Donburi on a Friday night. Both our Donburi were beautifully presented and all the sashimi tasted very fresh. We inhaled the Donburi and unfortunately did not take any pictures. It was a treat though and I would highly recommend it!
Looking forward to trying this restaurant out in person!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 25, 2024
Solid place for sushi.
We had several dishes to share. Quality of fish was excellent and everything was well put together. Ambiance was fairly casual. Service was attentive.
Would return for good quality sushi in the area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 1992251Jun 12, 2024
Just a simple but very delicious lunch.
This is the aburi set! I made some slight changes to switch out the saba and ika though! The shiitake miso soup is sooooo flavourful and warming. Definitely add it to your meal!
Service was fast and quick. We dropped by before right when they were about to close and they were still very accommodating and let us finished our meal without us feeling rushed. Thank you!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 414113190Nov 3, 2023
We wanted to eat at an authentic Japanese restaurant, and were hoping to try one that we hadn't already tried before. After a bit of searching on Google, my husband chose Uma Sushi . It's a small and quiet restaurant, only about half a block away from the busyness of Cambie St. With a 4.5 star rating on Google, it sounded like a very promising restaurant so we were very much looking forward to this meal.

Ingredients were fresh and everything was nicely prepared; however, given the high ratings this place has received, we were honestly a bit disappointed with this place. While we couldn't really find fault with the food, we just weren't blown away by it either.
Their sushi donuts were visually stunning but when it came to eating them, they tasted quite ordinary and handling them was a bit of a challenge. Just my own personal opinion: Perhaps air frying them into Yaki sushi donuts might have made them easier to handle and given them a bit more flavor as well?
Aburi Sushi was good but we felt that we'd actually had better Aburi elsewhere, at restaurants with lower ratings.

Outstanding food excellent service and all kinds of my favourite Japanese-Chirashi-don can't ask for more.
This was actually my first time eating something made in an air frier honestly can't see what the Big Deal is but the Prawns were good as was the Tartar sauce.
The Baby Kale Gomae had a saltier spicier dressing than usual one of the Best I've ever had and I generally avoid Kale.
Next time I'll try a different bowl maybe the one with Sablefish another fave of mine.
Anyway if you're looking for a cozy neighbourhood place this is it and it's close to everything.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 7, 2023
Loved how cozy it is here!
Got the Aburi sushi combo ($30), Baked scallops ($8.50) and some assorted nigiri! I loved how fresh everything was, and service was friendly and prompt. I found the sushi combos super worth it, and I'll definitely be back to try the other sushi combos! I noticed they put a peice of perilla leaf inside the aburi, and it really adds a new dimension!
Baked scallop was alright - the sauce was good, but nothing amazing - would suggest getting more sushi/nigiris as it's super fresh!
Tried the foie gras nigiri ($6.50) and found it super cool! I personally enjoy my foie gras with bread, but definitely recommend trying it! Also the Ika nigiri ($3) was soooo tender. Normally Ika is pretty chewy, but this one blew me away by how tender it was!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mar 30, 2023
A cute mom and pop shop that serves fresh sushi for such a reasonable price!
Came here before catching our flight, and we made the reservation right before getting there and it was no problem. Once we got there, the restaurant started getting packed and we noticed we didn't get our food for quite a while. We were worried we'd be tight on time in getting to the airport and notified our waitress of this. The store owners were so accommodating and pushed out our orders quicker by separating our combos into smaller plates first so that we can start eating while the rest of the food came out.
We got the Uma special sushi set + added uni pieces for each of us (there were 6 of us). The owners were so sweet in bringing out five pieces of sushi first for each of us to get us started while he continued rushing the rest of that combo out in another plate. Super sweet of the restaurant for doing this!
The combo set was super fresh and tasty for such a good price as well. The Uma Special Sushi combo was $32 before tax and comes with 9 pieces of nigiri and 6 pieces of rolls. The added uni sushi piece was the perfect end to the meal!
Highly recommend coming here for lunch as the prices are reasonable and they serve super fresh fish!Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 5Oh no 0 - Oct 3, 2023
Delightful spot for sushi and Japanese food. I got a seat for one right away at the counter spot. I ordered an assorted chirashi donburi ($18) and it was a great lunch meal. Fish tasted fresh and the rice was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the salmon, tuna, octopus, tamago and inari.

I was craving aburi sushi and maybe a chirashi donburi for lunch, and spied this on Yelp. So off I went in my scooter in the crisp fall air! It was a sunny so you know you have to take advantage of the weather while you can.
Uma Sushi is a casual restaurant with a sushi bar and four tops, busy with people on their lunch break from the service centres and offices nearby.
But the food is not casual, I would say this is my new favourite sushi restaurant!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0
