Alexandria, VA – Umiya Sushi will open its doors to the public Friday, August 8, at 11 am for a soft opening. The new restaurant, located at 3000 Duke Street in the building vacated by Generous George’s some years ago, features a new concept in Japanese dining.

Owners Jeff and Kelly Yates have partnered with Aaron and Jason Lin, who own a few Japanese restaurants in Washington DC, Falls Church, and Arlington. They are now taking the all-you-can-eat buffet concept to a higher level, with premium, top choice ingredients. Think wagyu beef, uni, and lobster.

It’s a vision based on the Japanese notion of omakase, or chef’s choice. This interactive approach to the relationship between the chef and the guest means the guest is treated to the chef’s best efforts to impress and delight.
