Umi Sushi Express

This is actually a hot meal Japanese eatery and a small Chinese/Taiwanese style bubble tea and dessert food court stalls. They have two stalls side by side each with their own checkout and staff. Both locations do not accept American express and they don't do CC transactions under 4$. Staff are friendly enough. Sushi is either made to order or premade to go packages. They also do a nice udon. The bubble tea place has good teas but they often put in too much ice and their pearls are too sweet. Parking is accessible from the mall (rooftop is closest), transit is from the bus hub and the Canada line stop.

About what you’d expect from food court fare. The plating is definitely lacking but tasted fine. I liked the pager system so I could roam a bit to find my companions and shop for drinks while food prep happened. Menu description is not particularly accurate but the pictures are wrt what’s included with your ramen.

I really enjoyed my lunch. I gave a five taking into account it is mall fast food. The food was the best I have had in Richmond Center, fresh and fair price. I had a bubble tea at their set up next door, and it was great also. I usually won't eat in a food fair, Umi has changed my mind. Good to know they are there; I will be back!
