Umami Sushi

Umami was another one of the first sushi places I tried when I came to Texas State. Sushi is my absolute favorite type of food so it makes sense that was looking for the best places around San Marcos. I always ate sushi at home with my family, so I knew I had to find a place at school that I enjoyed.

Umami is located at 700 N LBJ dr. This location is a prime spot in San Marcos, because it is within walking distance from the campus. This brings in a lot of students, especially those who live in dorms. The pricing is a little more upward in comparison to the other sushi places in San Marcos, but it is also nicer and newer than the others. The rolls range anywhere between a regular California Roll for $6 or the El Diablo for $18. They also have other items on their menu such as gyoza, miso soup, tempura, poke bowls, and other entrees. I’ve gone to Umami twice and the service was very quick, efficient, and good quality.

Some cons to Umami is that they don’t do an all-you-can-eat deal like the other sushi restuaruants in the area. Another would be that they close for 2 hours between lunch and dinner. One pro would be the location. Another is that they deliver with DoorDash. They also have fresh, quality sushi. They have a diverse menu that is not only rolls, but many other things too.

My reccomendation: The Bobcat roll is absolutely delious! It’s filled with spicy crab and avocado and topped with tuna, spicy mayo, eel sauce… and hot Cheetos! It’s spicy and crunchy at the same time and gives it an amazing taste. I would definitely reccomend this roll to any sushi lover!

I hope this post gave you another new spot to try out in San Marcos. For more information on their menu and pricing you can click here. Let me know if you try it out 🙂
