Looks like a hole in the wall, and those places are usually the best places to eat, and Umi Sushi is one of those places. But once you enter you will see it is a unique place. Also it is a short walk from apartment about 3 blocks to Grand Ave.

Seafood restaurant was founded in Pismo Beach in 1999 by Mike and Kathy Lee. The concept is largely based on dumping a bucket of shellfish on your table and hit with a mallet. It can get messy, but hey, they clean it up!. Its a lot of fun especially with kids.
