Umiya Sushi (pronounced oo-MEE-yuh), a growing all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant chain, is coming soon to 3151 Johnston Street at the corner of Doucet Road in Lafayette, Louisiana, inside the former Drago’s Seafood Restaurant building.
A recently filed permit with Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) under the name UMIYALA LLC provides a strong clue about the restaurant planned for the property, which has remained vacant since Drago’s closed in February 2024.
Umiya is a Texas-founded, family-operated Japanese restaurant chain with several locations across several states, including Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and a few others, according to our digging.
