" If you're serious about sushi, Umai is the place to go. I ordered the 18-piece omakase and was blown away by the freshness of the fish. It literally melted in my mouth! This isn't a casual sushi patio where you find California rolls. This is authentic, high-end sushi that is worth every penny. While the service was good, the owner could be a little more welcoming. Still, I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Umai was fantastic! I tried the 12-piece omakase and it was delicious. The combination of flavors was rich, and the sushi was incredibly fresh. Though the prices are on the higher end, it felt justified given the quality. I will definitely recommend this to others and look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely worth the hype! The omakase was unlike any other. Each piece was crafted with care, and the pairings were sublime. Note that it's on the pricier side, but if you're looking for quality, it’s worth every penny. So glad I made the reservation a week out! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Umai was certainly interesting. I enjoyed the sushi and found it creative, but the atmosphere was a tad too noisy for my taste. The service was decent, though I felt like we were slightly rushed at times. I guess the food made up for it, as I can't stop thinking about how fresh the fish was! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're on the hunt for authentic omakase, look no further than Umai! The seating at the bar allowed for an intimate dining experience while watching the chefs work their magic. Everything felt tailored, and I appreciated the personal touch. I’ll be returning with friends who appreciate high-quality sushi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Umai Omakase is a hidden gem! The space is small but intimate, perfect for a date night. We felt well taken care of, and the staff was attentive to our dietary needs. The sushi was authentic and incredibly fresh, particularly the tuna which was mind-blowing. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)
