Honestly spectacular. Had been a long time since I had been here and I remembered it being good, but this was fantastic. The Out of Control and Snow White rolls were our favorites and very unique and well balanced. Perfect amount of rice (not too thick) and you could taste each element of the fish and other toppings. The coconut shrimp roll was nice but I wish I would have gone with the server's recommendation of the 1504 Bellevue as I was curious about the enokii mushrooms. The server Noah was very attentive, professional, and all around just seemed like a nice dude. Even looking around the restaurant, all of the servers seemed to be very attentive and had great attention to detail. The Skeleton Key was a solid cocktail. Environment was clean and classy. Looked like a nice New York sushi bar, where it apparently takes inspiration from. Take a minute to read the chef's bio! Will absolutely be back next time we're in town.

Good selection and flavor. Little bit out of the way of your from Omaha or even West Omaha but it was worth it. Really good prices and lunch specials.

An Unforgettable Omakase Experience at Umami Asian Cuisine in Bellevue, Nebraska 🇯🇵🍣! 😋 A few days ago, my family and I had the most incredible first-time omakase experience at a hidden gem of a Japanese restaurant in Bellevue—an experience we’ll treasure forever. We were celebrating my son’s graduation and wanted to do something truly special, and this absolutely exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Jay, one of the owners, who seated us with genuine hospitality and enthusiasm. Our master chef for the evening, Keen, was phenomenal—thoughtful, precise, and incredibly skilled in curating our culinary journey. As a family of four new to omakase, we weren’t sure what to expect, but every course felt like a work of art. The ingredients were top-tier—fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. Chef Keen introduced each dish, often naming the fish and sharing little insights, which made the whole experience even more engaging. With every bite, we truly felt like we were tasting the sea—our palates transported on an unforgettable voyage. The full experience lasted about two hours with many beautifully crafted courses, each one better than the last. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves sashimi, sushi, or simply appreciates fine dining with meaning and intention behind every dish. Important Tip: This is a very special dining experience, so reservations are a must. We went on a Friday afternoon around 5 PM, but for a more intimate experience, I’d recommend going at a quieter time. Be sure to call ahead and book in advance! This was more than just a meal—it was a celebration, a memory in the making. We left with full hearts, satisfied stomachs, and stories we’ll be retelling for years to come. Put this on your bucket list—you won’t regret it. I’m including a few pictures of beautiful sushi plates from other orders for your reference. We didn’t order those!
