Reviews for Umai in Boston, MA
Some of the best sushi I've ever had in my life! Great customer service and atmosphere inside! Awesome location on Newbury St.
Tuna seemed a little off. Rice was pretty bland. For being right in the middle of Boston, I was underwhelmed. Service was... mediocre. As well, and I was very bummed that the house salad didn't come with the classic ginger dressing... ??????????? Read more
I’m sorry this sushi roll (pic) is the worst sushi I’ve ever had. The problem was this place didn’t cook rice correctly.... It’s wet mushy , no taste and no texture ! You can’t open sushi restaurant if you don’t know how to cook sushi rice Read more
The restaurant has a very nice setup where you can dine on a cute porch (inside) and, through its windows, you get really nice... views of the street. I have to say, the tempura shrimp is the best I’ve ever had. So crispy, fluffy, perfectly cooked and notoily at all! The edamame were good and the steamed vegetable dumplings were really good too. The makis were good but the optionsthey have aren’t the usual maki options you see in other restaurants and I feel like I would have enjoyed the usual optionsmore than the ones they offer. The fish tasted really fresh though! Read more
I had sushi for dinner everything is good the only thing I didn’t like was the soonest you done with the food they bring you... the check and almost feel that they want you to leave if you are not keep consuming food. Read more
My favorite is the beef udon noodle soup! I tried the dinner set one for one. Paired with some sushi. Everything was good. The... takoyaki needed more octopus meat. Great customer service and enjoyed my meal! Read more
Very fresh and high quality sushi/sashimi. We tried the Chirasi bowl which comes with Miso soup and rice, a Volcano sushi roll... and Takoyaki. All items were a bit hit! There was a oily smell in the restaurant when we walked in but the food and quickservice made up for it! Recommend making a reservation as there is limited seating. Read more
Really good sushi for Boston area, fish tasted fresh, and the rolls were pretty tasty. Was a bit pricey though especially for... the sashimi. Service was OK just a bit slow to get the food (took about 40 minutes after ordering) but overall pretty goodespecially since it was a busy day. Read more
