Umi Sushi & Seafood Buffet
Last inspected: Jan 7, 2026
58
Score
The health department has logged 14 inspections at Umi Sushi & Seafood Buffet, the earliest from 2023. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 7, 2026. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around 11 violations compared to roughly 16 violations earlier on.
When inspectors have written things up, “food stored on floor” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
Compared to other Brandon restaurants (averaging 82), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
