There is a parking lot, but I had to wait for a car to leave to get a spot. I had made a reservation for 6 people at 7:00pm earlier in the week. My friends were running late, but I was seated in the meantime. Umami Sushi and Grill is modern, stylish, and spacious. We were seated in a private nook like an open bird cage and it allowed for a private and intimate dining experience. It was all of ours first time here and can't wait to go back. We started with the Mushroom Salad and Rock Shrimp Tempura Bites for appetizers. The mushroom salad had sautéed seasonal mushrooms with yuzu dressing. The rock shrimp was battered and lightly fried served with yuzu creamy spicy aioli sauce. The mushroom salad was refreshing and the rock shrimp flavor was great. We also ordered a bottle of Mio sparkling sake. I've always enjoyed this sake so I had to order it when I saw it on the menu. It is light, fruity, and slightly sweet. I ordered the Shaggy Dog Roll which had shrimp tempura inside, topped with crab meat, crunch, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. Very yummy and savored every bite. For dessert, I had the matcha cheesecake and I enjoyed it very much. The matcha cheesecake was packed with matcha flavor and it was creamy and luscious. The portion was smaller than the fried cheesecake and the fried ice cream that my friends got, but that was totally okay since the matcha cheesecake was so rich. Umami Sushi and Grill was the perfect place for my friends and I to catch up. Service was wonderful and we stayed at the restaurant for about 3 hours. The staff were attentive and still filled our water/hot tea. Definitely worth checking out.

A cute little place in Roslyn!…read more Got the lunch bento box with chicken katsu. In addition to a sliced up piece of chicken katsu, the box came with miso soup, a salad with ginger dressing, 4 shumai, a classic roll of your choice (I went for yellowtail avocado), and white rice. I thought almost everything in my bento box was delicious. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was a tad plain on its own but great when dipped into the tonkatsu sauce. The shumai was also tasty, and the yellowtail avocado roll was fresh. For under $20, I thought it was a more than good amount of food. The restaurant also gives you complimentary hot green tea, which was perfect for the rainy weather.

This feels more like a 4 1/2-star experience…read more We had a lovely dinner at Kissaki this evening. We started with an espresso martini, which was excellent--smooth, well-balanced, and a great way to kick off the meal. My husband and I each took a few sips before I remembered to snap a photo--always a good sign. For appetizers, the wasabi rock shrimp and spicy tuna crispy rice were both standouts--fresh, flavorful, and nicely executed with great texture. We also ordered the 10 piece nigiri flight, which was consistently impressive. The fish tasted fresh across the board, with the uni being a highlight--rich, creamy, and exceptionally fresh. The shrimp tempura roll was delicious--crispy and well-balanced. The only dish that didn't quite land for us was the ebi hamachi futomaki. It wasn't bad, just not a favorite for my husband--I only remembered to take a photo when we were nearly finished. From the kitchen, we shared the black cod and sea bass--both outstanding. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked--definite highlights of the meal. For dessert, we shared the peach cobbler, which was a great finish. Warm peaches with hints of bourbon and cinnamon, paired with Japanese vanilla ice cream--comforting and well-balanced. Service was warm throughout, and the quality of the food was evident in nearly every dish. While it leans toward the higher end in price, the overall experience fell just shy of a full five stars--but was nevertheless very enjoyable.

The Sea Bass is outstanding and is a must try; flavorful (no strong fishy smell/taste), super soft and tender, like cutting warm butter with a fork. Another must is the Matcha Tiramisu, outstanding and unique! I am not a matcha lover and this was one of the best deserts I've had! The lights are dim, there's live music certain nights, comfy intimate seating and a modern flair. Service was excellent, the waitress was extremely helpful and patient with us. Parking is limited and a task in itself, so plan accordingly.

The restaurant itself was cozy and intimate - it kind of gives you a NYC restaurant kind of vibe which was nice to see on Long Island. I would note that it was freezing out and all the cold air came in when the front door opened. This made it very uncomfortable - I wonder how it is when it's really hot outside. Also, because it is a small restaurant, noise levels could be elevated. Spicy dumpling soup - very good but dumpling had no flavor. Probably store bought. Fluke carpaccio - very good. Some shrimp appetizer - shrimp was small and sauce was almost like a curry sauce. I would pass. Sushi platter - very good. Nigiris are pretty small. This won't fill you up. Grand wazoo roll - this was okay, torched squid was a little tough. Isn't she lovely roll - this was okay. Steak with potatoes and brussels sprouts - not much steak but very tender. Brussels sprouts were nicely cooked. Overall, a good experience especially with the service being top notch. While sitting on the high top worked, it took away from the experience. I would get a regular table or sit at the sushi bar. We were also distracted from the cold air coming in that my wife had to wear her coat. If you like a modern take on sushi, I think you would like this place but if you're looking for something more traditional, I would look elsewhere.

It looks like it is under new ownership, new waitstaff and menus, etc. The previous rude waitress is no longer there, much to our relief.

Service was excellent, our waiter was very attentive and food was served promptly. My husband got the omakase platter and I did a la carte, the toro sushi is excellent and highly recommended.

Drinks are pricey but delicious and worth it. Calamari and octopus were excellent. Unfortunately, the Chilean sea bass special was disappointing. Very small portion, not cooked properly, and lacked flavor especially surprising for an upscale restaurant at that price point. The sides were great, but I came for the fish. Also surprised no one checked in to see how everything was. If I return, it would likely just be for drinks.

Good place for drinks and sushi!…read more Came for the lunch prix fixe ($37) and it was pretty worth it for the amount of food you get! Would recommend their spicy tuna roll appetizer (the sushi rolls are the best things here!). I got the braised short rib as my main. It was a tasty first few bites, but became a bit dry once you ran out of sauce (especially since it's a lean cut). The peanut noodles that it came with were alright. Ended with the banana wonton dessert! It only comes with 1 wonton, but the best part is the lychee sorbet and banana cream it comes with. Very yummy (and a small dessert but good enough to end the meal!) Overall, stick to the sushi! Get their drinks! Had the coconut and lychee cocktail which was super yummy. Service was amazing (constantly changing plates, cleaning up our table between courses, friendly). Would recommend a reservation especially if you come at night as it gets crowded.

The food was very delicious and flavorful, and the overall presentation was perfect. Each meal looked like works of art ready for consumption. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. However, we thought the place was very crowded. It was clear that they placed as many tables as they could without trying to take away from the aesthetics. It was also so loud that you couldn't really hear yourself talk. My other problem was that though the staff was very kind and attentive, it did feel as if they were rushing us out, in order to sit another party, which was very frustrating because it felt like you couldn't really enjoy the food. It was our first night out in awhile and the experience felt rushed and underwhelming, unfortunately, despite the food being so good. I recommend going before or after peak hours to avoid some of the chaos.
