Umai Umi

Good place to go for a night out with friends. Great selection of fish, including some you don't usually find on your standard sushi menus (amberjack, sea bass, golden eye snapper, etc). Great udon soup - the broth was 10/10 and probably the best thing I ordered while here. The oyster shooters were great as well. The only dish I had any issue with was the octopus salad. The dish overall is bitter/sour because of the dressing and pickled radishes and the octopus was a little overcooked and underseasoned but without the octopus, the salad really wouldn't be appetizing so I had to take 1pt off the food score for that dish. All in all, I'll be returning in the future if for nothing else than that udon soup broth.

RUN - don't walk - to order the Calamari Salad and Godzilla roll. Dining with a friend? Don't share. Forget them. Order you're own and eat it while staring into their disappointed eyes. Don't apologize. You could share.. but you won't want to. Don't sleep on the crispy rice tot either - the only thing you'll regret is that you didn't order more.

It is okay for people who want a chilled nose vibe with a BYOB. Great place for a casual first date, when you don’t really know the person and don’t want to spent too much money on alcohol, Whole Foods is just around the corner. Would I call it one of the best sushi places - no, but definitely recommend to come as it very cute. Reminded me of Spain a bit, in terms of decorations and the weather was great +29C. Cute for the vibe, but only outside, not for the food. Food is okay.

My octopus was so tender. You could cut it with the fork. My oysters were fresh and very nice. My nemo roll with cucumber wrapper was very refreshing. I rarely order dessert but what I ordered sounded so yummy. Banana spring rolls with red bean paste and vanilla ice cream was fantastic. If I lived here I would be a regular.

Heard fantastic things and was so excited to finally get to come to Umai Umai. Quaint inside to this Japanese BYOB. Few outdoor tables. Fantastic food quality. I’m still giving it 5-stars despite the terribly slow service, but there was one server for 15+ tables and we weren’t in a rush. Here were the highlights - Half dozen oysters: three different sauces on top of these small oysters Scallop carpaccio: this was fricken AMAZING. Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Crispy rice tot: also amazing. So much so we ordered them a second time. The crispy rice, spicy tuna and avocado mousse…a party in your mouth. Henrietta roll: larger roll; absolutely fantastic and delicious Spirited Away roll: too much rice but overall decent flavor Ping Pong roll: slow flavorful profile that develops in your mouth as you chew. Yummyyyy Such an enjoyable meal. Can’t wait to come back!
