We chose Willow Glen because it's a neighborhood with heart. Full of families, small businesses, and a real sense of community. It reminded us of why we started Mad Yolks in the first place: to bring people together over good food made with care. The walkable streets and local charm felt like the perfect fit for our brand and our mission to serve fresh, made-from-scratch breakfast in a warm and welcoming space.
The first thing you notice when you walk by Umi's sidewalk window are sushi chefs doing their thing in the kitchen-the view does a good job of drawing people inside this tiny Japanese place. On a nice night, sitting on the patio is the way to go, but the other 312 days a year, the small, dark dining room does the trick. We especially like the nigiri and sashimi, but if you're in the mood for rolls, you can't go wrong with the Golden Dragon roll with crab, avocado, salmon, and lemon.
