" The preparation at Umai is impressive; I enjoyed watching my food cooked on the hibachi grill. However, I think they could do better with the seasoning. My steak was a bit bland compared to others I've had. The service was charming, but they seemed a little rushed. I'd be inclined to revisit for the experience but hope for improved seasoning and flavors the next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Umai was less about the food and more about the service. Although my sushi orders were fresh, I was interrupted a couple of times by staff as they tried to clear plates. I get that they want to keep things moving, but it felt a bit too rushed. Some patience on their part would enhance the dining experience for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible experience at Umai! Our server was knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. My family and I shared several dishes, including the sushi cakes and chicken teriyaki, and everything was savory and fresh. The hibachi grilling technique added a unique flare to our meal. The udon noodles were a particular favorite; they were rich in flavor and quite filling! The ambiance was lively yet intimate, perfect for family gatherings or date night. Highly recommend this restaurant; we will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Umai is a bustling sushi spot on the outskirts of town! Each visit has brought me great service and delicious food. The spicy tuna roll is a must-try, and I can't get over how fresh the fish always is! I appreciate how they've maintained a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for sushi lovers but expect some wait during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Umai was mixed. The atmosphere was nice, but my sushi wasn't as fresh as I had hoped, and the portions were small compared to other sushi spots. The service was friendly but a bit chaotic during busy hours with long wait times for food and drinks. I would be willing to try again for the hibachi, but I hope they improve their sushi offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Umai was rather disappointing. The sushi lacked freshness, and one of the rolls I ordered tasted off. The service was friendly but overwhelmed, as we had to wait too long for our food. I wish I could say more positive things about my visit, but given the quality of the food on that day, it's hard to imagine returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The building might be a bit dated, but don't let that fool you! Umai serves delicious, authentic flavors that speak volumes! I had the chicken teriyaki and sushi rolls, both freshly made and bursting with flavor. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, making for a lovely dining experience. Don't be surprised if you find yourself coming back for soy sauce-dripping goodness! " (*Curated Review*)
