Diners looking for authentic Japanese sushi, but who want a bit of Chinese food combined with it, will find Umi in Shadyside to be the perfect place to go. Although the food is pricey and served in small portions, every bite will make diners’ taste buds happy and make people feel as if they are in Japan. For the best experience, get the meal called Trust Mr. Shu. Mr. Shu is an award- winning sushi chef, making Umi Pittsburgh’s best sushi spot. Mr. Shu’s multi-course meal is all of his signature dishes all in one night, and it will make any adult or child full but wanting to go back for more. The outstanding meal consists of a combination of both Japanese and Chinese cuisines. Since they don’t have a dessert menu, staff members at Umi tell their customers their desserts and all of the specials for the day. Overall, this restaurant serves small portions, but at Umi every bite counts, as Mr. Shu says.
