Reviews
We ordered three rolls and the special parmesan noodles. The noodles were… fine. It’s basically Japanese udon and Italian pasta having an identity crisis. Not my taste, but if you’re a parmesan‑noodle person, this might be your love language. Mine? Not so much.
The Mexicana roll was the best of the three, which is kind of like saying it was the best student in summer school. Edible, but not something I’d reorder. The White Truffle Tail was rough. I spent half the meal trying to figure out which roll it even was because I couldn’t taste a single truffle. If there was truffle in there, it must’ve been on PTO.
The last roll… listen. It was so forgettable I genuinely cannot recall its name. My brain deleted it like an unwanted email.
At this point, maybe I should come back just for drinks, but based on the food alone, I’m 0 for 4. And I’m not exactly eager to go for best‑of‑five.
I tried a variety of sashimi, and every single one was fresh, beautifully plated, and full of flavor. The fish was high quality and melted in my mouth.
Prices are reasonable for the quality you get, and they have a great drink selection too. Umai definitely earns a spot on my go-to list for sushi in Chicago.
Only the ramen recipe is too much spicy, be aware of it. The lemon martini was quite bad to be honest. Maybe I just didn’t chose the best options, but the service was 10/10
We decided to go again two night later to try the ramen. Again, excellent high quality food.
I appreciate the timely and friendly service as well as attention to detail. We’ll certainly be back.
