Hey everyone! With what is going on around the world with COVID-19 a lot of local businesses have been affected due to the loss of said business. So, this post will mainly be about those small local restraunts we have here around the San Marcos area to help promote them in their time of need. The one I will mainly be discussing is a small sushi restaurant called Umami. In my personal opinion I believe they have the best quality sushi in town compared to the others like Kobe or Sakura, although the other two do have better deals it really just comes down to your preference of quality or quantity.
Now back to Umami, I will never actually forget my first time there only because so many of my friends have been speaking so highly of their sushi and always questioning how I have never been there before. Anyways, it is a cute little restaurant owned by David Le, it sits around 72 people and also has a bar for people who are eating by themselves. Their menu consists of appetizers such as edamame, gyoza, or soup/salad, and my favorites rolls like the Philadelphia roll or the Texan roll, and of course their delicious nigiri like the salmon or maguro nigiri. When I first tried their sushi I was actually very impressed on how delicious and authentic it was. Also I was impressed on the fact that I got semi-full from it, only because I was so use to eating the all you can eat from Kobe and Sakura, so I was hesitant on if it was even going to be worth the price.

To finish off this post I would like to encourage people who live in San Marcos, or even who do not to start eating at the local businesses around your city. This is a tough time we are going through right now, and I know I would personally be devastated if a place like Umami shut down from something that is out of their control. Down below I will add a list of a couple local restaurants in San Marcos I have been to and encourage y’all to go to as well.
