They are the nicest people and have the best sushi. I told them while I was babysitting that we were watching spirting away and they gave us the roll for free. So nice and made our day. Highly highly rec

The food here is amazing and is prepared perfectly. The manager/Our server (Geordie) was also absolutely amazing from the time you make the reservation to the moment you leave the restaurant. The oyster shooters are a must-try and the sushi rolls we got (krakken, traffic light, and ping pong from left to right in the picture below) were all amazing but the traffic light was indeed my favorite. We also got the seafood paella and the pad Thai, both of which were very tasty! I've been here twice and will definitely be here again!

Hands down the best sushi I've ever had, Brussels sprouts a must try. Service was great and place looks so fancy. Definitely worth ever penny!! Looking forward to another trip from NY to Philly just to go back to this awesome place! Also they will accommodate for larger groups my friends and i visited this past weekend and had a great time.

Holy cow that was incredible. The seafood paella changed my LIFE! From this day forward my life will be divided in two: pre Umai Umai Seafood Paella and the rest of my life. Sunshine and roses everyday on out boys. I've seen God.

Pretty disappointed in our take out order. Sushi had very minimal flavor and did not taste fresh. Also roll sizes are below standard. Overall would not recommend for pick up, wasn’t worth the price, might be better in person but experience doesn’t encourage me to try.

so impressed with this place! brussel sprouts were probably the best i've ever had, so many textures and so delicious. the scallop carpaccio was amazing and such high quality fish; i've tried raw scallop at a few other nice places in the city and didn't like the taste but it was soo good here. and the miso soup was loaded with tofu! overall such good quality for the price, and we love a byob!
Quaint BYOB spot. Enjoyed the miso soup and sushi rolls that were reasonably priced.

This space is so beautiful and intimate at night. We went on a Tuesday night and it was quiet and relaxing. The food was amazing, fresh, and creative! The staff was so kind and pleasant.

I went to Umai Umai 2 weeks ago. This place was the greatest sushi place in Philly until they opened their second location. Everything changed here: sushi rolls are not as tasty as they were and size was reduced significantly. In addition, there is a permanent rush feeling to order, eat, pay and leave. I remember this place being the perfect spot for a nice date and a great meal. In my opinion those times are almost over. It's BYOB still and that's nice, but I wouldn't be surprised if they terminate it soon though.

The seafood paella was spectacular. My only complaint -- it was three lunches of food! Seafood to the bottom of the huge bowl. I also had the udon soup with tempura veggies -- delicious! My wife had the shrimp pad thai which she loved. Our server was delightful, attentive but not overly so. The room is nice, not over the top, simple. Only downside -- parking!!! We found it searching for "thai" on google maps -- not really thai as most of the menu is sushi and rolls. Nonetheless, highly recommend
