Best sushi in Philadelphia. This place never disappoints. The oyster shooters are to die for, everyone should try them!!! If I could I would eat here everyday!
Love = Chirashi. There are no other words! Love this different selection! Every piece tastes fresh and delicious!!! Love the snapper! First time I really like sea urchin!!!
Love this place! Very small and intimate resturant. Came with my boyfriend and both of us had a great experience! Will definitely be back again. The food was great!
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.
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.
Don’t get me wrong, the food was really good. It was a tad bit underwhelming in terms of portion sizes. The price was on the heavier side for the portions we got for the appetizer and the sushi (which comes in 6 pieces). Besides that, flavors were on point and the service was fantastic!
Came in on a Friday without a reservation, but the staff was really accommodating and I got a table super quickly! Reservation is definitely recommended though. The sushi was sooo delicious and it was ready very quickly despite it being a busy night! Definitely will be coming back!
This place is amazing! Our first time here and i will tell you, you will not get disappointed. The best meal i had in a while :) They recommended brussels sprout for appetizer, wow so delicious, thumbs up! But everything is so good. If its your first time, you can ask what is best recommended food. Funnel cake stick in a chocolate dip for dessert,yum! Thank you for the service, stay safe.
Finally tried Umai Umai after living in the area for a good while.
Walked up at 530pm on a Friday and was able to grab an outdoor table with no wait. Some quick facts, Umai Umai accepts credit cards, but it is BYOB.
The menu options were well varied with something that probably anyone would love to try. Service was great and very quick to turnaround our food. In terms of food, everything we tried was great. We particularly enjoyed the King Kong roll and the tempura shrimp appetizer, both of which I highly recommend.
If you're in the neighborhood I'd definitely say you should give Umai Umai a try, we'll be back!
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.

BYOB
Sushi rolls were very unique. Love that it was BYOB. Very small restaurant- I was a bit cold. They accidentally brought us the wrong roll so they let us have it for free!
Went on 10/15/2023
The food was really tasty and the service was quick. Also the waiter knew well what he was serving. The place is small and cozy. Portions are in the small side made up by great taste
