Inspired by the Ocean, Perfected by Fire
Born on the Monterey coast, Umi to Hi blends the calm of the ocean with the passion of the flame. Inspired by Japanese tradition and California’s warmth, our restaurant is a place to slow down, connect, and savor the artistry in every detail — from the flicker of the grill to the quiet craft behind each plate.
Every Bite Tells a Story
Our menu is a celebration of contrast — hand-cut sushi made from locally sourced seafood and yakitori grilled over glowing binchotan charcoal. Each dish captures the essence of balance: delicate, bold, and full of life.
More Than a Meal — It’s an Experience
At Umi to Hi, every visit is crafted to be memorable. From the warmth of the grill to the calm of the sea, each detail invites you to slow down, connect, and savor the moment.
