Omi is delicious written by lansdell
Last visited this restaurant on June 28, 2008

If you are looking for atmosphere, go to Sansu, but if you are looking for great sushi, OMI is by far, the best sushi restaurant in East Lansing. I agree, We are lucky to have it right next to campus. The food is delicious and the service is great. I felt that the tables were packed a little to close together. But that is my only complaint.

best sushi anywhere written by keykrist
Last visited this restaurant on April 13, 2008

I've tried my fair share of sushi restaurants throughout Michigan, and Omi continues to be the one to beat. They offer the best sushi I have ever had--especially their spicy rolls. All of their other food is fantastic as well, especially the yakiniku rice bowls! Also, not only is it the best sushi, but they have the cheapest prices I've found. The atmosphere is laid-back and very ambient, and the service is (usually) wonderful, everyone is really polite. If you're in East Lansing, definitely make the trip!

My first pick for sushi written by maude313
Last visited this restaurant on November 18, 2007

Omi is always my first pick for sushi. The restaurant is sleekly styled, and you can sit at a table or at the small sushi bar. The fish has always been fresh and delicious - I am a big fan of the sushi combo, which comes with miso soup and a ginger-dressing salad. Omi has the best California Roll I've ever had, to the point where I'll often stop in just to have that. They have a great selection of Bento boxes, though I've always been so pleased with the sushi that I rarely stray from it. The biggest problem is parking, but there's an underground lot located under the Marriott hotel a block away.

Food is second to none written by wil17son
Last visited this restaurant on February 11, 2007

I've only eaten better sushi once and it was on Miami Beach in a posh hotel, so it's understandable. Omi is ridiculously good for East Lansing. Too good. But don't tell them. If you like fish, but don't like sushi, thats because you never had good stuff. Omi is entirely good stuff. The various fried rolls are the best. This place is pricy, don't get me wrong, but you most definitely get what you pay for.

Downside is they consistently forget appetizers and there seems to be a perpetual understaffing as for the waitstaff. The wait can also be prohibitively long for such a small dining room. Just go during non peak times.

Food is great, and the waitstaff is cordial.

Ultra-hip Sushi Bar written by malavidava
Last visited this restaurant on December 20, 2006

Although my heart belongs to Sushi-Ya a few blocks west of Omi, I have to compliment Omi on their outstanding creativity when it comes to sushi, they really break the mold. The style of the food presented matches perfectly with the cool-modern atmosphere of the whole restaurant. Too expensive to be a weekly hangout, but considering the dishes, there's never a feeling of whether it was worth it. Great place for a first date if they're the type of person who:
1) can't live without their iPod
2) appreciates modern art
3) refers to themselves as a "foodie"

Best Sushi in East Lansing written by Flipper12
Last visited this restaurant on December 28, 2005

Omi was my first experience with sushi, and everything since has been a dissapointment! Their menu offers a wide variety of new things to try, and presentation is amasing. They also have good teriyaki chicken for my 'chicken' boyfriend and mother that I've brought to Omi. I don't know really how to explain what makes some sushi better than other sushi. It is all very subtle, but I enjoy Omi even more than the more formal (and expensive) San Su (which is still excellent, nonetheless.)

OMI is the best sushi restaurant I have ever been to. We're lucky to have it right next to campus. The food is delicious, service is great and the atmosphere is really sleek. It's extremely clean and would make a great place to take a date, friends or the family.
Highly recommended, especially for first-time sushi diners.

The best sushi in lansing and reasonably priced. It is amazing. Everything on the menu is great and if you like eel you need to get the Omi Maki roll. Yum.

This has to be the best sushi I've had in the states, and everything else we've had has been great as well!

Worth the wait written by princesslilyanna
Last visited this restaurant on February 26, 2005

Stopped in at Omi to put in an order for carry-out. It took about 15 minutes but when I got home and tasted it, it made the wait worth it. It tasted great and they even worried about presentation.

Great Ambience, Mediocre Sushi written by goeastlansinggo
Last visited this restaurant on October 18, 2004

This is probably the best looking, quirkiest, coolest sushi bar I've been to in Michigan. Unfortunately, the sushi itself is only mediocre. Not bad, of course, just... average. If one could combine Omi's atmosphere with SanSu's sushi, I'd move in across the street. :)
