Came here for the first time today and had a great experience! The service was fast and the food was fantastic. We got the shrimp scampi roll, the umai roll, and the ohana roll. They were all so fresh and delicious. Would definitely come back

My daughter and I went to Umai today, at Saturday lunch hour. It was quiet as we had the restaurant to ourselves. Our server, Kim was excellent. Kim was polite, knowledgeable about the dishes and made suggestions to customize our dishes.
We eat sushi about 2-3 times per week and have our usual restaurants as well as have eaten Sushi all over Canada and other countries. Umai just became one of our top favourites. The ingredients were all fresh and a wide selection of choices as well as intriguing flavour combinations were the headliners.
Finally, the friendly, attentive staff were contributing factors to make this an outstanding choice for excellent Japanese cuisine. I know we’ll be back. Thank you Umai.

If you love sushi and sashimi, skipping this place in Halifax would be a mistake. it’s hands down one of the best sushi spots in town. Every roll and piece of sushi tastes incredible, crafted with so much care and attention to detail. The quality is top-tier, and you can really taste it.
Portions are bit small but totally worth the price. If you’re a foodie in Halifax, this spot is an absolute must-visit!

This was genuinely the best sushi experience we have had in the Halifax region. It’s clear they put a lot of effort into both the food and service. The grilled scallop roll and sumo roll were ridiculously good.

Impressive service and food. Scallop sushi is our new favourite:). You receive a better service than any other Japanese restaurants here. I wish that they had homemade croquettes too. The desserts are awesome. Will definitely go back.

The servers here are so kind and attentive, and the sushi is super fresh and delicious! The bento boxes are also very reasonably priced. The interior is quiet and minimalist, and there are plenty of parking spots.

I heard about this restaurant through Reddit and thought I would give it a try, I have eaten here twice this week and it was absolutely delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and it was so fresh, by far the best sushi I have had in the city and I have tried a lot of restaurants. The restaurant itself was very clean, everyone there was very friendly and the servers were amazing, very thoughtful and helpful. I definitely recommend the restaurant if you love quality sushi!

On previous solo visits, I went with a starter plus the omakase nigiri. This time I went with an old Navy buddy and we shared the tako yaki starter (my current go to and invariably delicious) and three rolls (Butterfly, Ohana & Mayo Sake). Everything was quite superb. Well prepared, superbly presented and fantastic flavours. Quite faultless and, dare I say it, possibly the best sushi I have ever had and that includes in Japan. Fresh ingredients, very respectable size and a visual treat. Together with a 7oz sake, my share of the bill was $33, which isn’t at all bad. The space is very plain, but if you’re there for the food, it fully deserves its fifth star. A word to for our delightful server, who’s good cheer always makes you feel welcome. Very highly recommended.
