I ordered a sushi roll and the dumplings. My wife got some noodles. Everything was super fresh, and very tasty. The service was spectacular.

Not what I expected when it came to a place for sushi. Umai is definitely more Korean influenced…read morethan Japanese influenced. That is not a bad thing at all, just putting it out there so people know what they are getting into. We came in today for lunch today and honestly, it took forever. When we got here they were not busy at all. One other customer besides us. It took an incredibly long time for us to get our appetizers (gyoza, two orders) [again, these were more like Korean yaki mandu than typical Japanese style gyoza] After that we were told it would be almost another 20 minutes before our entrees were done. Mind you, a few more customers had walked in, but we ordered them before they were here. In any case, I'll give the benefit, maybe they were having an off day, but it'll probably be a bit before I come back here

The majority of my negative review is about the manager. He was the most disrespectful and rude…read moreperson I've ever met in a restaurant setting. As a previous bartender, I was a little shocked at a $14 price for a shot of vodka and Diet Coke. When I asked to speak to the manager, he treated me with such a rude tone that hit me to my core. When I continued the conversation, he walked away and then later, when I went to leave, he gave me a very negative hand gesture and said some more rude words to dismiss me He was also very disheveled and didn't represent the restaurant well at all. I felt like the staff was very embarrassed regarding how the manager treated me. I feel sorry for anyone that works there. Additionally, the filet mignon we had was supposed to be rare and it was medium well and the sushi was just mediocre.

The food was so-so. Chef had no idea that you don't cook shellfish in with the vegetables and chicken thereby contaminating the food for anyone with a shellfish allergy. Plus totally screwed up my order and when I said something to the chef, he just ignored me and went on about his business. Will not be back and will not send anyone here for dinner. Overall, they SUCKED!

I had a stellar experience at Otani!…read more The restaurant itself itself is very cozy. The decor is very simple; A few paintings on the wall and a view to watch the sushi chefs at the bar. I ordered the beef tataki, the sashimi platter, and the tako yaki: - The beef tataki was served chilled; The beef was slightly smokey and the sauce was bright, giving the dish a kind of refreshing feeling. - The fish in the sashimi platter was very fresh and the display was beautiful. The sashimi came with miso soup (as good as any other miso soup). - I loved the takoyaki! I tend to think takoyaki tastes about the same everywhere, but this may genuinely have been my favorite takoyaki I've tried in the area; I had to resist ordering a second plate of it. As a solo diner, I spent $58 (excluding tip) for what I perceive to be a lot of food. For a fancy solo outing, I think it was great value for the quality of food. The staff was also very attentive and my food came out promptly. This is a great solo dining or date spot.

I was able to use the bibimbap sauce so I added spice to mine but indeed the meat was a tad bland. Gyoza was tasty and fried well. Service was good and attentive.

We have never been disappointed and everything always tastes fresh! I've tried many of their different sushi rolls and a few of their asian dishes like the general tso chicken and pineapple fried rice. They also have a great lunch special that runs from Monday to Saturday! The service is always quick despite how busy they can be and I love the variety of food they offer. Even if you don't love sushi, there's plenty of other options like ramen, chinese food, habachi (only offered on Friday to Sunday), and much more. Give it a try if you're in the area or if you're looking for great sushi!

For our entrees we shared the 6 Set Umai Temaki and Sashimi Nori. Super fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. I got a kick out of the canned sake and maybe over indulged...but so much fun!

But it took 15 minutes after being sat to get spoken to + my order taken. Our server apologized for the wait which is appreciated. I'm aware that I am not the only guest in the restaurant, but 15 minutes is wild. The spicy tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and tuna roll were all good. Yellowtail is the best. The miso soup lacks flavor. Everything is reasonably priced!

Against my better judgment, i shouldn't have ordered the Hawaii Roll -- the mango inside the roll gave me a bit of pause with consistency issue. Additionally, the rice on the sushi seemed gelatinous, like it was cooked too long. I didn't like it. The Tempura Roll was your standard fare. Lastly, while I love sashimi, the tuna offered with the chef's sampler was just ok. The star was the salmon -- buttery and smooth. Service was fine. We sat at the bar.
