Umai Reviews
This is a staple must go restaurant for my sisters and I everytime we visit Boston. (We're from NYC) Their sushi quality is super fresh and their Baked Alaska Tuna Maki is absolutely amazing -- super buttery melt in your mouth quality. I always order that one, witht the Butterfly Maki and one new to try everytime (This year I tried the Prudential which was excellent). We've been here once every year for the past 8 years and the quality is still the same as we remember it each...read full review
Great food and okayish service. I ordered veggie tempura and a Newbury Maki. The tempura was the best I’ve had in awhile with Umai putting a variety of veggies in the appetizer.

Sushi was good, we really enjoyed the Newbury Roll and the Dragon Roll (pictured). Service was slow and the place was really tightly packed. We ordered the edamame and got a tiny portion… half of what you would expect a normal portion to be, wouldn’t get again. Good sushi, recommend those bento boxes that seemed to be a much better value for your money.
