SakiTumi boasts an authentic menu, with both fresh sushi (we have tuna overnighted from Hawaii) and flavorful grill items. Located in the heart of the Vista, we are down a quaint alleyway in a historic building that used to house the production of Model T fords.

Awarded "Best Sushi Restaurant" by the readers of the State newspaper, we continue our ethics of quality by ordering fresh, #1 ahi tuna along with salmon, butterfish and more. Our flavorful grill items include a variety of hibachi-style plates, tacos and even a Wagyu beef burger.

Serving Columbia as a local, independent restaurant since 2006, we have made friends and family from all over the southeast and continue to provide delicious food in a casual, upbeat and energetic atmosphere. Music videos or sports are playing on our large tv's behind the bar, and we have a nice collection of wine and speciality drinks to compliment our food.

We invite you to get fresh with us anytime.

    While the restaurant was clean and our server was amazing, the food was questionable at best. Will not return.

    Sushi is overpriced for mediocre quality. The staff is really friendly though.

    Fabulous dinner! We dined early and had most of the restaurant to ourselves. We sat in the corner booth which was quiet and private. Maddie was a kind, pleasant and helpful server. She made a number of recommendations - all of which were spot on. The quality of the food was outstanding - every bit of other reviews and information on the website. We truly enjoyed our dinner and will be back!

    Hi. Everytime I dine @ Sakitumi tis a pleasurable dining experience! Service is expedient, staff are kind, knowledgeable and always very helpful!! Food is delish and reasonably priced. Cocktails are unique. A shout out to Jordan , one of the bartenders who goes the extra mile! All the servers are excellent, but one of them shines & her name is Madi! Thanks to ALL of you! Thank you! 5 stars!

    This little place was a total surprise. Down an alley so we were a bit concerned. Walking in we were still not sure because it’s a college town and looked like a college bar with college kids cooking but……the God was literally dynamite! Everything we ate was super good. The poke bowls were fantastic. The edamame was super tasty. We walked out very happy and pleasantly surprised. Great spot even with the college bar-like feel!
