Absolutely delicious Japanese food with good vibes and fast service. We came impromptu on a very busy night and managed to get seating in 20 minutes. The outdoor patio was beautiful at night. The Naked roll was one of the best rolls I’ve had, and squid nigiri was excellent. Beef tongue bbq skewer was melt in your mouth.
Really great sushi and atmosphere. Some different flavors and twists on common rolls. They were packed so the service had some rough spots - didn’t give us appetizer plates and only gave us one fork and knife for an appetizer. Food took a little long from the kitchen but overall the vibe was nice and the experience was still really good. We even got another role to try after eating what we ordered because everything looked so good and it was worth it. Would go back for sure.
Great service, nice atmosphere, great food!
Stopped by for an early lunch on a Saturday. They have an extensive menu so I feel that there's definitely something for everyone here.
I was impressed by the quality of the fish that they served. I ordered a Chirashi bowl which came with a side of miso soup. I was surprised by the variety of fish that was provided. The sashimi all tasted fresh and had good textures.
My friend ordered a roll and two orders of Nigiri and she also enjoyed her lunch.
I've tried to come here a few times before, mostly for dinner, and it's been packed so I chose to go somewhere else. I think I understand the hype -- I will definitely be returning to have more sushi or to try the other offerings they have from their extensive menu.
Small, cozy restaurant with a large menu of sushi, ramen, and udon, as well as fun cocktails. The service was good and quick, and the food was fabulous. They don’t take reservations except for large groups and at 5:30pm on a Saturday there was a 20 minute wait, but they call you when your table is ready.
Was recommended by a friend to get Japanese food here and was not disappointed. Ramen portion is generous, Goosebump maki was a miss for me but that's my palate speaking, if I wanted to nitpick the rice could be a little better. All that said I'll come back again
Everything was lovely. The service was great and the food was delicious. I only wish we would have had more time to be able try more things. We were under time restrictions and we were grateful that everything was super fast.
Excellent ramen. Great lollipop chicken. Decent sushi. Grilled eggplant sauce was a bit overly sweet. I would return.
My teen son started to be interested about Japan, so i decided to bring him here to introduce japanese food. For my taste there is nothing special, just like any other asian food restuarant. Service was quick. We ordered dine in and to go. Dine in included winter ramen and spicy roasted garlic ramen. Both were good and big portions. Also gyoza, they brought 5 pieces instead of 6 as in menu. I recommend black sesane seed icecream. For take out we had beef rolls with asparagus, pork shoulder BBQ (was very good) and Katsudon which comes with soup and salad. Porsion was good too.
I’ve been to Umai a couple of times and I will keep going back for the Katsu Kare! It’s so flavorful and the quantity is so much, and I (and my friends) can’t have enough of it. We’ve also gotten various sushi rolls, like Spider, White Truffle Tail, etc. and they’re pretty good too. There’s usually a little bit (~30 mins) wait usually if you go in the evening but definitely worth it!
Everything was absolutely delicious. The Tsukemen ramen was outstanding - very flavorful broth and the pork belly, bamboo shoots and egg noodles were the perfect combination.
