I have now gotten takeout from Umai four times in the last 2-months. Every item I have ordered has exceeded my expectations in freshness, flavor, and creativity. I have to say I most recently had the best order yet— The sunshine roll, the midori tuna roll, and the spam/egg cake onigiri— I don’t know how I am going to venture away from this order. Absolutely phenomenal.
Online ordering is done with ease; order is always ready timely; staff are always kind.
Prices are what you would expect from any fine sushi establishment. Would love to see some “specials” or “simple rolls” be offered at a lower rate— there’s a good chance I would just add it to my already amazing order! 🙂
Thank you Umai eats!

No frills joint where the food is the reason to go. A limited menú and, in the restaurant’s defense, why offer more when what you do serve is SO good? We had 4 rolls and all where exceptional. If we lived in Traverse City, we would surely be regular customers.

For a newer place its pretty good the rolls are a manageable size. Definately a more take out oriented sushi place. Good variety and everything tasted fresh. We got 4 different rolls. However had to really look them over none of them were labeled and 1 looked to not be completed. Was supposed to be a spicy shrimp but the shrimp was super small and wasnt spicy. The other 3 rolls and thr nigiri was fantastic!
Note: definately ask for extra soy sauce if you get more then 1 roll.

What a fantastic new hidden gem!!! With the fresh sushi, good prices and great customer service this place won’t be a secret for long. I ordered the Tuna Umai Bowl and added spicy mayo. It was absolutely delicious!

Found my favorite sushi roll in Traverse City! If I find myself back in Michigan, I will definitely do the drive just to come back and try out more sushi. If I didn’t have such a big breakfast, I’d ordered more food but I didn’t want to over order. Next time for sure! I’ll go on an empty stomach. The double decker! Remember that!

Probably the cleanest sushi place I’ve ever been to. Great poke bowls.

Sushi was so good!! They need green tea & miso soup to make it complete for me. The owner said he just opened so hopefully he adds more soon.

As a Japanese kimbap lover, I was a bit nervous trying this place for the first time, but it was so tasty! A great alternative to burgers and pizza when traveling. I got takeout and loved it.

My significant other and I have been here many times and have always loved the food. The service is always quick, especially considering they make everything once ordered. They are always accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend stopping by for a poke bowl!
