Umai Japanese Kitchen Sushi - Chicago

The food was excellent. The sushi rolls were large and the portion sizes were generous. Despite there being three of us, we couldn't finish two rolls and two bowls of Ramen! It was fantastic.

This place was so good that we came back the second time within a week. I love their nabeyaki udon the most. I haven?t been able to find a good udon place until Umai. The atmosphere is casual and the service is phenomenal. We always get seated quickly andthe sushi are very fresh as well. Highly recommend Umai to everyone and we will definitely be back again soon.

Drinks were unique, not really my taste, but interesting none the less. The beef wrapped asparagus was pretty good. The rolls were good. Inventive take on a Salmon skin salad, not what I was expecting, but very good. The dessert took the show with theGreen Tea Creme Brulee taking the top spot.

We had lunch here today and it was excellent! For sushi, I had 1/2 surf and turf, 1/2 a Chicago and a Philadelphia roll. The fish was super fresh. The surf and turf was an incredible mix of flavors. I wasn?t sure about apple in my sushi. But I was wrong- it was delicious! My daughters each got some chicken teriyaki- the sauce was so flavorful and it was a really big portion(and came with soup and salad too! Service was excellent.

Umami caught the attention of a friend and myself while driving by. We stopped in for dinner and we?re not disappointed. There was a large menu with a wide variety of options. I got a noodle bowl and my friend got the sushi. The noodle bowl was great andthe sushi was some of the best we had ever tasted. The atmosphere of the restaurant felt very cool. It was definitelymemorable. There were many windows facing the streets to allow in the light from outside. It?s worth a stop by if you arelooking for authentic Japanese food.
