A nice Chirashi bowl filled with many delicately sliced cuts of fish atop seasoned rice. I'm hoping to see a different set of fish next time I go. The portion size is on the smaller side so those with larger appetites should order an appetizer as well.

Very intimate neighborhood BYOB sushi spot. Not many tables in the restaurant and no music was playing, so you could hear a lot of chatter.The must have on the menu is the brussel sprouts - OMG so delicious! I will be dreaming of them.The portion size of the sushi seemed small, and I got the shrimp tempura roll where 2 out of the 6 pieces had tails on them. I am not personally a fan of that, so 1/3 of the roll was almost inedible. The flavors were good and everything was fresh.

I went to Umai Umai last year 2 times, and during those times I would say it was pretty good. The appetizers were delicious and the sushi was also very good. My husband and I decided to go again today after about a year, and the food was absolutely terrible. The crispy rice with tuna tartare did not have the same tuna tartare as last year. The tuna tasted fully cooked and it didn’t look the same as prior. Additionally, the sushi was all cold- including the cooked tempura. It did not taste fresh. Even the simple spicy salmon roll did not taste like fresh salmon. It was likely precut and prepared earlier. I am very disappointed and will not be visiting this establishment again. I should have just gotten my regular sushi take out from sushiya. I think the chef changed and I’m disappointed. Had to leave and get food elsewhere.

We ordered from doordash. Lets start with the ok food. The udon soup was good but the shrimp tempura it came with was a ball of fired tempura batter. The salad with ginger dressing ok.Can't believe it was $13.50! It was not that big! The avocado roll was fine. Now the rest. The sesame crusted Tuna was so fishy. The tempura had chunks of flour in the batter. The yellow tail tot was black and greasy. It looked like a spoonful of rice that was fried in oil. The Godzilla roll and Henrietta roll was spoiled by being drenched in honey. My son could only eat 2 pieces of each.$132 in the garbage

Delicious sushi! Can get loud in there depending on who else is dining but their food quality more than makes up for it!

The restaurant was really cute on the inside. However, not that this is the restaurants' fault, but there was a child running around to all the tables and climbing on them and yelling. I don't know at what point it's okay for the restaurant to step in and tell the parents this isn't appropriate. The staff were not super friendly but not rude by any means. The food was delicious but extremely expensive and small portions, especially the sushi. The entrees like the Pad Thai and Chicken Teriyaki were large and my party enjoyed them. Some of us ordered coke products for $5 each which is unreasonable. I got the Lost roll. It was very good but very small, cut very thin. They were able to provide gluten free soy sauce for me. I also got the Crispy Rice Tot - I could have sworn the menu said Tots but now everywhere I look it says Tot, that might be on me. But the couples in my party ordered them thinking there would be two but they came out on each and it was about $6 each. We ended up having to order more. It was a nice restaurant but I don't think I will be back because of how expensive it is and how small the portions (besides the kitchen entrees) were.

Food was amazing. Service wasHORRIBLE!!!! I've NEVER been kicked out of a resturant... especially after spending more than $200. The first time we were asked to leave because another table was there, I calmly said we would finish our drinks than leave. They proceeding to ask us to leave 5 minutes later, I again said we would finish our drinks and leave. The manager/owner than came and told us we MUST leave because other people were there for our table. Meanwhile, there were SEVERAL tables open around us. I confronted the manager/owner again as we were leaving and he yelled at me telling me goodbye and he did not want to hear what I had to say. He said "we don't need your business." I would NEVER eat here again simply because the staff was THE RUDEST STAFF I'VE EVER COME IN ENCOUNTER WITH. PS I've been in the resturant industry for 25+ years.

Delicious sushi, in a cozy, yet slightly upscale and accommodating restaurant. Good prices! Will definitely be back!
