I ate way too much here. The j pop jalapeño and the avocado bomb would have been enough. Fresh, spicy and large portions, these starters were amazing. We also ordered a nigiri and sushi combination expecting around nine pieces. There were at least 15 on...the platter. The fish was so soft and tender. One in our party ordered pad Thai and it was very unusual. I thought it tasted like tomato paste but someone else thought it was sweet. It wasn’t bad - it was just different. They Have a good selection of sake, including warmed, room temperature and chilled. The one downside was the service, which was a little off. They seated us quickly and took our order rapidly. The food came up quickly but then we were neglected and not offered additional beverages and they never refilled the water. This was a little painful given the spiciness of some of our food. We eventually had to flag down the waitress to get our check. A minor inconvenience. Handicapped accessible.More

wonderful rolls; miso soup tasty, but best of all was the cucumber salad that was artfully presented w/butterflied shrimp, pieces of crab and chunks of octopus.. amazing... did I mention the attentive hosts?... awesome experience

Umami is perfect for dining before going to the theater. The Elizabethan theater is just steps away. Our service was timely and pleasant. Thank you, Rebecca. The sushi samplers were delicious and portions were generous. Our samplers went well with a glass of chardonnay.

The service here has been spotty, but the sushi is well worth the wait. If you have theatre tickets, just allow a little extra time, as the food is well worth it, and you can’t beat the location. Just ask about the back door out...to the theaters!More

Umami is a surprise to anyone looking for great tasting Asian food, and A selection of Sushi that’s outstanding. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, as is the staff is always friendly and helpful. You won’t be disappointed.

We left our hotel and found this place just down the street. It was a terrific find. The food was tasty and plentiful. When I asked if a dish – which was labeled as hot – could be made without being hot – the answer...was yes. The service was very good too. Everything we asked for was done easily. The menu has all kinds of dishes on there – you don’t have to have Sushi if you don’t like it. If you in town and want good Asian cuisine – this place is affordable and worth the stop. Try it – recommended.More

The restaurant is close to the OSF venues down town so is very convenient. We ate there after seeing an afternoon performance and arrived around 5:30 PM. We were seated immediately and our server showed as soon as we were seated. The menu is fairly...extensive and the sushi menu offers the usual favorites and some different items as well. My wife had the Mt. Ashland roll, which had an interesting presentation, and I had the Crunchy Tiger Hidden Dragon. We shared a California roll. All were fresh, and quite tasty. We will eat here again our next trip to Ashland.More
