    Everything went well. Dinner is always fresh and delicious- this time we had takeout delivered. And it was beautifully presented. I appreciate the location and friendly service. The ambience is in flux as it has not changed much since the previous owner.

    Cash discount. Good to know for next time!

    This time around, we chose to dine at one of the three pleasant, umbrella-shaded tables on the patio, though it was a very warm evening, since our pup had us in tow. Our server, who happened to be a former vet tech, ably managed all guests, including canine ones. Despite the heat, Chef Edwin graciously came out to say hello, as did our lovely server from our previous visit. We so appreciated their deep sense of hospitality. We all ordered "omakase" set meals this time (three ten-piece meals and one five-piece meal). All of the neta were again excellent -- by far the best we've found in the area -- and sweet, silky, buttery, or firm as appropriate for the cut of fish. The omakase / set meals included an interesting and varied array of nigiri. [Most memorable to me: botan ebi, hotate, uni (if I had to guess, I'd guess from Maine?), ika topped with uni, hirame, toro, akami zuke, madai.] Chef Edwin (who, it seems, is always present... I truly hope he gets a few days off a week to spend with family) was an incredibly generous host. He threw in so many extras (extra pieces of nigiri, edamame, and gorgeously deep fried botan ebi heads) that I felt both blessed and embarrassed by his largess. I don't think these extras influenced my review, but do have to admit that we like this taisho a lot as a human, hopefully independently of all else. Just a personal note: Our picky eaters are are extremely averse to "fishiness" and sensitive to neta that is less than pristine. (At most "everyday" sushi restaurants, they stick to maki for this reason.) On our return visit to Omakase, however, both kiddos insisted on ordering nigiri -- quite a ringing endorsement if you ask me!

    Super fresh, quality sushi! What a win for New Fairfield. The chef definitely knows what he's doing. The decor is the same as the cafe that was there previously, with a few oriental touches. The music (90s rock) is a little bit of a mood kill if you're looking for a super authentic experience. Overall we liked this place alot.

    How lucky I feel that Omakase opened in my neighborhood! My friend and I ordered the chefs choice after a first course of delicious edamame. All of our fish was beautifully fresh and gorgeous to look at. We wanted more because it was so good. We ordered perfectly fried shrimp tempura and lovely gyoza. And then we asked for another omakase platter. I said the same as what we had would be fine, but that if the chef wanted to mix it up a little that would be great. Well. He outdid himself with more beautiful fresh ingredients and stunning presentation. I hope my photos (note the fresh mochi for dessert) do this place justice. Omakase: I can't want to come back !!

    Great food and great service! Food is always fresh and love the presentations. Nice not to have to drive far to enjoy an excellent meal with impeccable service!

    Great experience, unique sashimi/sushi lessons from Edwin if you're lucky enough to sit at the bar.

    Overall, this restaurant has pretty fresh sushi but the prices are very high relative to location…read more Their price point is similar to NYC prices but pales in comparison to NY sushi spots in terms of high quality and variety. You can easily spend hundreds of dollars for sush at Unamii that you can get l better value at midtown NYC or other LI spots. As much as I prefer to support local businesses, I don't believe this is worth it. In fairness, the ambiance and decor inside restaurant look lovely.

    My friends and I had a wonderful evening at Umami Sushi and Grill. Umami Sushi and Grill is located…read moreon Willis Ave in Albertson, NY. 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.

    We usually enjoy this restaurant however this night the waitress was extremely rude…read more She kept calling us "honey" which is inappropriate. The restaurant wasnt especially busy but it seems that they were dealing with delivery orders and had little time for the restaurant patrons. We asked about one of the dishes as my friend is allergic to gluten. The waitress was very bothered by our question. The food was good. But the service was terrible. I might think twice before going back.

    7/11/25. Haven't been here for a while, so we thought we'd try it again…read more The staff is very pleasant and cordial; no rush to turn tables. Tried an ice cold Sapporo before the meal. Much more refreshing than my usual Coke. Ordered the shrimp teriyaki bento, comes with miso soup or salad. My friend had the sushi/sashimi lunch. The soup was good and the salad well drained. Most places don't bother using a salad spinner; the dressing gets watered down. =( The shrimp were cooked to perfection. Not curled up little hockey pucks. The Vegetables were al dente, not close to baby food mush. Her sushi/sashimi meal was tasty. The proteins were fresh, no fishy smell. The prices won't break the bank. Speaking of the Bank; you can use Chase's Wi-Fi. The decor is low-key and sort of romantic. They were high chairs. We made a good choice today.
