I placed a massive corporate order for a team of employees and everyone seemed to enjoy the food besides the vegetarian food I got was awful. I tried 3/5 veggie rolls and they were decent especially the sweet potato roll but there were caviar eggs sprinkled on my food through contamination which bothered me and the veggie gyoza were mushy with a fairly gross dipping sauce. If you are vegetarian I would avoid this place entirely.

Mediocre sushi. Fish not fresh, nigiri not well made. Each nigiri contained way too much wasabi that each bite made my head throb.

Reasonable and very delicious sushi. Lunch is especially good value, and the bento box is especially recommended. Japanese people will be happy to know that it comes with pickles and the salad dressing is delicious. Tuna is especially delicious. The staff are also very attentive and wonderful.

Umai is a sushi & Japanese cuisine spot located in the heart of Newbury Street, with a nice comfy interior and some spots in the windows aimed out towards the street for eating and viewing.
The staff were pretty welcoming and quick with service, ensuring that the food came out quick. The food was a bit on the expensive side for the portion, but is passable because it is located on Newbury Street.
I got the lunch combo with spicy salmon and spicy california. It came served with miso soup and salad. Miso soup was pretty standard, and the salad had a nice dressing and was fresh. The spicy salmon was rolled nice, was fresh, and wasn't too fishy. The spicy california was a California roll with the spicy mayo on top, which was alright, the spicy mayo was good but nothing too outstanding.
Overall, a good spot for sushi in Newbury Street, good for a chill lunch or casual date.

Umai was kind of maa-maa. Service was decent enough, normal. Food wasn't bad, but not quite worth what was paid I feel. Presentation was nice. Window seats were pretty nice with the lighting. They did have quail egg, which was a nice surprise. For sashimi, I recommend the sake ))
We ordered the bowls. Food was fresh, clean and rice perfect! Bowl portions were smaller than expected. Food was all great quality. Pictured is the Anago don.

Umai is our go-to sushi spot, and it never disappoints! The sushi here always hits the spot, especially the special makis, which we love ordering. The atmosphere and service are both excellent, making it a perfect choice for our date nights. We particularly enjoy sitting in the window seats, as it really enhances the overall experience. If you’re looking for delicious sushi in a great setting, I highly recommend Umai!
Great place, good price, very delicious
