Cool place, great sushi, hand rolls filled up with yummy wild salmon(yes, i can tell) the udon was great, and the winter ramen was so yummy and full of beef. The grapefruit malt beverage. Omg where have I been If you come at the right time there is free parking on POLK. :D read more

Umai - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is one of my go-to restaurants in my neighborhood. However, when I ordered my favorite dish last night, I noticed the portions were much smaller. My salmon was half its normal size and the vegetables were half the normal serving. Everything was tasty, but I was disappointed in the smaller portion sizes. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my nephew and so glad we did. I wish I did this review right away but it has been some weeks. Instead of delving down into the food we ate (which was absolutely fabulous), I will tell you the feeling we both had during and after we left the restaurant. The waiter was very friend, attentive and most importantly knowledgeable. He guided us through the menu and so we got a good selection sushi, sushami and chef dishes. The saki he selected to go with the meal was perfectly matched with the dishes. We both left with a feeling of satisfaction and with the help of the saki- extremely happy! read more

Umai - Kaiso Salad - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Umai is without a doubt one of my favorite restaurants in Printer's Row/South Loop. I can't recall a single time I've had anything less than a good experience! I have been ordering for pickup and delivery and they have consistently prepared their food really quickly and their portions are pretty generous. Of the things I've ordered there, my favorites have to be the Katsu Don and their ramens. I do have to say the website can sometimes be a bit finicky, so I'd recommend calling to place an order instead. read more

Umai is actually one of the first places I visited when I came to the city, and I'd say it's a pretty good place to get your typical bowl of ramen. The place was pretty nice about walk-ins and we were seated right away. Not knowing what to order, I played it safe and got the Ton Katsu Ramen, which I believe is a popular choice. The broth was savory and the presentation was nice, but nothing too stand-out. I liked how tender the meat was but was a bit disappointed by the egg, which other than being soft-boiled, was just a normal egg - not marinated nor flavorful. While there was nothing unique about this place, I did enjoy the simplicity of it and thought the service was good. read more

Umai - Ton Katsu Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Yes, a happy lunch on a cold day. Even it is late April, the tempature is still below 40F. I really needed a warm noodle soup. Umai is on the corner of Polk and S. Clark. Very comfy and earthy lobby. We did a bit research before hand so quickly chose Ton Katsu Ramen and Winter Ramen. Both were served in the huge bowl. The Winter Ramen appeared in a spicy broth which was actually not as spicy as it looked. I liked the proached egg and ground pork sauce on the top. Thin sliced beef was OK. The soup is slightly on the salty side. The noodle was cooked right with a bit chewy. An awesome bowl for this cold day. My friend's was pretty good too. She liked the pork belly a lot. The soup was also a bit salty for her. So both of us drunk a lot of tea and walked out with a round belly. We also tried a piece of Unagi which is average. Service was fine without much delay. Would come again when the weather allows a nice stride outside. May be some summer noodle soup next time. read more

Hands down the best sushi spot I've ever had. I'm so glad the other restaurants we were planning to go to before we found Umai didn't work out. We called a little before 9pm to see if they were still taking walks in and what was the wait time for a party of 3. Surprisingly there were open later than other restaurants with NO wait time. We got there around 9:00pm and we were quickly seated. Within 5 minutes our server came over to inform us of the phone accessible menu through a scan code. We quickly ordered our drinks but it took forever for it to get to our table. In the meantime our server came over to take our order down. Our server was speedy and knowledgable. We were all pretty impressed at the fact that she didn't need to write anything down and relied on her memory. We ordered a lot... I love the fact that this place does half a roll. I've never seen this before. Giving us the option to do a half roll gives us the option to try out other rolls on the menu rather than ordered a whole roll and not liking it. I wish more restaurant would follow this genius idea! We ordered the following: -sake- $9 -mojito- $8 -patron soda (they can customize anything you like) -spicy edamame- $6 -spicy chicken wing (comes with 5 pieces)- $9 -seaweed salad- $7 -dragon roll- $13 -umai crunch roll- $12 -half Chicago roll- $9 -half goosebumps roll- $8 -spicy roasted garlic pork ramen- $15 -tuna nigiri- $7 -sea scallop nigiri- $7 We ordered another half roll pictured, but we do not remember what it was called. The drinks were awesome. Either the bartender was a bit slow or the server forgot about our drinks, but either way drinks were still good when we got them. We ordered 3 appetizers for us to all share and all of them were delicious! Every single bit was so flavorful and we were just SO happy with our choices. The spicy edamame had a lingering spiciness but not too overpowering. This was easily tamed after a bite of the cooling and refreshing seaweed salad. I've never had seaweed salad with cucumber at the bottom and this honestly made it 1,000 times better. The wings were so juicy and flavorful and house-made sweet and chili sauce was BOMB! I ordered a dragon roll and Umai crunch roll and each and every bite was just perfection. If I can bring this sushi spot back home with me, I would. I would have this everyday if I could. My boyfriend had the spicy roasted garlic pork ramen since it was one of their most popular dishes and he said it has to be the best ramen he ever had so far. The broth itself was delicious and had so much flavor even without the pork or noodles. He also had the tuna nigiri and sea scallop nigiri and they were all so fresh--the freshest nigiri's yet. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back the next time we come to Chicago. Our highlight from our entire Chicago trip was the food from Umai! Service can be better but the food is phenomenal. There is outdoor seating but it didn't look 6 feet apart so we opted for indoor dining. Every table was occupied but looked like it was roughly 6 feet apart. read more

Slightly pained to give this place only 3 stars because I had high hopes for it. But it just didn't wow me. I'd say 3.5 is more adequate if given the option. MAKE A RESERVATION. We made the mistake of not making one on a Thursday night & the hostess told us it would be about 20 minutes. Not too bad we thought..... Yeah, no. We waited over an hour. My stomach was eating itself by the time we got seated. There's really only a few tables and a few seats at the bar so space is very limited. Anyways, I went with a small group so we shared a ton of items off the menu. Started with the spicy edamame & pork gyoza. And that was honestly the best part of the meal. So delicious! We actually ordered a second order of the gyoza because it was just too good. For rolls we all shared the the mexicana, naked, sloopin, Chicago, goosebumps, white truffle tails, dynamite & white tuna & jalapeño roll. Mexicana & dynamite were my favorite if I had to pick. Naked roll is very fresh & clean tasting. The sweetness to the Chicago roll wasn't working for me, white tuna & jalapeño was bland & the seaweed it was wrapped in tasted too fishy, the truffle oil (on the white truffle tails) is pretty odd paired with fish... & the fish atop the goosebumps roll was too chewy. Honestly nothing blew me away. All of the rolls fell apart so easily. And I didn't find myself in that flavorful, melt in your mouth sushi heaven you desire when you go out for sushi. I've had much better in the city. My fiancé ordered the spicy pork ramen which was our first real ramen bowl we've ever tried. That was pretty good... but it is NOT spicy. Like, at all. I'm not sure why "spicy" is even in the description. But he did say the pork belly in it was amazing. Big menu & insanely good prices for sushi in Chicago... but like I said, I've had better so I don't think I'll return. read more

Umai was a delicious and lowkey spot located conveniently in printers row chicago. I enjoyed their chicken wings very much, while my friend enjoyed the raw aspects of the menu. Overall, sushi lover or not, there is something for everyone here! The atmosphere is calm but interesting at the same time. read more

I came here on a Thursday evening with my friend..around 5pm or 5:30pm..the restaurant was empty so we were greeted and seated immediately..I loved the atmosphere and fact that there's a lot of free space between tables ... Food: Ton Katsu Ramen ($13) - my friend tried this entree and said it tasted good, it looked pretty good when I saw it.. Katsu Kare ($12) - Shrimp Tempura, with house curry over steamed rice...it tasted good, but tastes like the curry I make at home.. not sure if anything was really special about it to be $12... Portions: the portions for the Chef Specialties and Soup based entrees seem to be big....depending on whether you are a small eater or a big eater.. you will either have leftovers or be content/full after eating.. Costs: ranges from ~$10-$20 for non-sushi entrees..the soups based entrees were a little bit on the cheaper end than the entrees on the Chef's Specialities Customer Service: the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable on the menu and attentive.. Atmosphere: love the decor and also how roomy the place is... I don't like when I go to restaurants that are congested... Parking: street parking...$4 for 1 hour.. :( but that's chicago for you! I would come here again maybe to try sushi or something next time...if you work in the city.. I think they have lunch specials/menus... so check it out... read more

Pros: - great skewer food - great cooked foods. katsu is not greasy. curry is flavorful Cons: - service. unfriendly & refilling water is a struggle. they forget things frequently - ramen is just ok. not good, not bad. not a destination - sushi is fresh but very bland. it's under-seasoned -- conclusion: would make my way here for skewers & katsu. would not go out of my way for anything else... which is unfortunate, since this place is known for ramen & sushi recommended: skewers & katsu read more

Ambiance: 4 stars Food: 4.5 stars Service: 4.5 stars Okay, I have to say, Chicago sushi is not bad (at least where I have eaten at), at all. And I am not talking about rolls, I am talking about the fish! Because rolls are crap. The quality is excellent. Chicagoans, you are all so lucky compared to other cities (maybe not LA or NYC though). Came here on a Sunday night, while walking down South Loop. South Loop is a lot different than The Loop because it's further out, so this place was worth the walk in the cold last weekend. Anyway, this place has a more traditional Japanese vibe than other places in the city. And it's open until 10pm on Sundays? Excellent. I ordered the chirashi (my favorite thing to order because you get to sample every type of fish in the restaurant) and my friend ordered the nigiri deluxe. Our meals were delicious, of course. I had a little bit more fish at Umai than at Friends Sushi, but still a bit sad that it did not fill me up. The prices were the same as Friends Sushi, which was $20-30/entree. I can't believe how expensive sushi in Chicago is, it's so ridiculous, it's as much as I pay for high-quality sushi in LA, but it's worth it since it was my first time in Chicago. The service was good. There weren't that many customers when I went at 9:15pm, haha. So we got a lot of attention if we desired. For dessert, we had the mochi, which was good. I mean, it's the same as any other place. Overall, a great experience. I would come back here again. read more

Tuesday at 5:30pm was a slow night for Umai. It was so quiet that I could hear a fly buzz by. My friend and I each ordered the tonkotsu ramen as well as gyoza, beef tongue, green tea creme brulee, and fried green tea ice cream. Gyoza comes in two options, vegetarian or pork. Our pork gyozas were not well-pan-fried as parts of the skin was soft rather than crispy. Otherwise, the size, flavor, and ingredients were standard. The beef tongue was thinly sliced and each skewer had about five pieces of meat strung together. The meat was tender and lightly sea salted. The tonkotsu ramen, on the other hand, was disappointing. The broth was heavily salted and so dark that I could not even see the contents in the bowl. It was not the opaque, pale broth as I had anticipated. Instead, it appeared as if I was served a bowl of thin gravy. If you must order it, I would say eat all of the contents and neglect the broth unless you don't mind the excessive thirst and sandpaper-tongue-effect. The green tea creme brulee was definitely a pleasant surprise after the not-so-good ramen. It was a small portion but the slight tea bitterness went well with the caramel's sweetness. It was a very light dessert. The fried ice cream was not as pleasant. It was messy and there were too much fried dough with too little ice cream. A lot of the ice cream even melted before we got to them. I'm certainly delighted with the addition to South Loop for more variety. But I must also say I was disappointed...unless I only go here for appetizers and dessert... read more

It is a small restaurant with friendly staff, the food is very good and the price is very reasonable. For the winter I would suggest trying the Udon, it is a nice size bowl of hot soup. Udon Kare Smooth fragrant Japanese curry, udon noodle, and your choice of pork or beef. Nabeyaki Udon Shrimp tempura, chicken, poached egg, spinach, fish cake, shitake mushroom udon noodle in dashi broth. read more

The sushi is always fresh and the service is great! The ambiance is casual and great for family dinners or date nights.

Great experiences, except with the ramen, which I'm very particular about. Sushi and sashimi were Very much worth going back for, as we're the appetizers. Less than thrilled with their ramen. Will continue to go back for sure! read more

Great sushi, service, and drinks! Their menu has such a wide selection to choose from, has easily become one of my favorite spots.

Location is pretty big and very elegant. The service was outstanding!!! Blake (or Blais) was my waiter and he was so nice. Staff always refilled water w/o asking too which is always a plus. Had the Fresh Philly Roll, Chicago Roll & Mexicana Roll. Also in the order of favorite that night. The Mexicana was good but had a different taste b/c of the cilantro. The fresh philly roll had a lot of salmon & the cream cheese didn't overwhelm. read more

trash ... waitress was rude food quality declined over the past few years. they eliminated the mushroom cream soup from the menu and everything just wasn't the same as a few years ago when they first started anymore read more

By far one of my favorite place to get Japanese food that's reasonably priced. Food (4.5/5): It's not the best Japanese food in Chicago but for the price and range of dish that they serve, I think it's very reliable and good. I've tried their ramen, udon, and rice bowls; they were all good. Their ramen, in particular, is quite delicious. Personally, I like their Spicy Miso more than other ramen spots here like Ramen San; it's stronger and more concentrated. I've only had both as take out so I'm not sure about how they taste dined in but for now, thats where I stand. Overall, great stuff! Portions are big too! Price (5/5): Everything is priced reasonably well. The main dishes are around $15 - $20 while the sushi's are less, except for some. I think it's really a bang for your buck. Service (5/5): Ate here outside once and their server was very attentive and professional. It was nice and I have nothing to complain about. Ambience (5/5): The place itself is quite small but spacious. Not sure how it is during normal hours with indoor dining but their outdoor terrace is nice and relaxing. Overall, great place to grab some Japanese food! It's pretty diversed and the location was very convenient for me so that's a plus! read more

This is a pretty generic, run of the mill place. It's not bad, just look elsewhere if you are looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant. The food is ok but nothing special, just mediocre. The sushi is a step above what you'd get at a supermarket. Service is prompt. Prices are reasonable. read more

There was literal plastic in multiple pieces of my sushi. Yelp is forcing me to write a longer review, but there's not much else to say. There was plastic in my food. There shouldn't be plastic in my food. read more

I am reviewing based on one visit, about one menu item. I was in Chicago for a visit mid-June 2023 and decided to give this highly-rated place a try. I ordered the sukiyaki, and it was the worst I had ever had in my life. The beef was like rubberbands. I chewed and chewed and could not break it down. My mouth got tired and I just gave up. Umai is a highly-rated restaurant, and they put out a menu item like this? Based on this one experience with one menu item, I will not return. The rest of you must have had much better experiences with its food. I sure didn't. Shame on you, Umai! read more

Umai - Katsudon, Shishito Pepper - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am a lover of Tsukemen, and sad to tell but Umai's tsukemen was a little bit of a question mark. Usually, Tsukemen comes with noodles and thick soup for dipping, but Umai instead had a very salty and watery soup. I am still giving 4 stars as their other menus (curry, etc.h were splendid. Please check again the Tsukemen recipe and hope you guys can make it better, rather than offering super salty soup on the side for "dipping". read more

We have travelled the world in search of good tsukemen. We did not find it here. Umai has a basic misunderstanding of tsukemen ramen: watery broth (?), grilled chashu (?!), undermarinated egg (??!), and completely mishandled, dried noodles that congealed together into one giant cold cylinder (???!!). In a good bowl of tsukemen, the noodles should carry the richness of the broth, the meat should be tender and a little sweet, and the intensity of the umami should marry with the starchiness of the noodle. We had previously tried Umai's black garlic ramen which is why we're adding one star to our most recent experience. The other star goes to their hand painted poster of 'In the mood for love.' Just do yourself a favor and save yourself the disappointment of trying their tsukemen. read more

Umai - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great food. Great service. Great value. I got the beef hanging tender skewers, dragon roll, and beef teriyaki. All tasted yummy.

Umai is truly umai! (Japanese for tasty or delicious) I'm Japanese and I like to try ramen in the different cities I visit. I came here for my last meal in Chicago (don't worry -- I got my share of pizza while there!). I came by on a Tuesday evening around 5:30pm and waited about 20 minutes for a table for 1. My server recommended the Winter ramen so I ordered it and one order of hamachi nigiri. The broth was tasty and not too salty. The ramen had a generous portion of toppings (meat, fish cake, veggies). For a restaurant that serves a number of ramen options, I would expect better ramen noodles. Not sure how to describe it-- but they didn't taste as fresh as ramen noodles in Tokyo. For a ramen lover I'd rate this 4 stars but the ambience, service, flavor and decor proves it to be 5 stars. A great place for groups! I would visit again the next time I'm in town. read more

Umai - Winter ramen - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Got the spicy ramen and it was awful. The broth tasted like it was instant powder broth. Legit tasted like the instant ramen you can make at home. I also got a basic sushi roll. A shrimp tempura roll and the rice was so mushy and didn't taste like seasoned sushi rice. I've given this place a try 3ish times and I am unimpressed every time. I won't be coming back. I don't know why this place is always busy, the foods not good. read more

I know where to get dinner next time I am catching a movie at the showplace icon :) The fish qualities are pretty good, esp. we went on midweek. My experiences with some restaurants is that they are really good on the weekend but mediocre during the week. But Umai isn't the case at all. Though we aren't too sure why they use tapioca breading for agedashi tofu. Is that a trend since we recently saw it at another japanese restaurant as well. I didn't intend to, but when i picked up a piece of the tofu, the whole breading of that piece was stuck to the piece of tofu underneath it, so the breading came apart. Works for my benefit since i am not a fan of that tapioca breading :P The price is reasonable considering how fresh the fish qualities is. If it wasn't that far off of my area, it would def. be my go-to japanese place :) read more

One of the perks of Umai is that they do actually take reservations. I had the spicy roasted garlic ramen while the bf had the tonkotsu ramen. Both were good, but the tonkotsu ramen was much smaller. I love the creaminess of the broth and the pork belly savory. My friends INSISTED that we try the green tea creme brulee and I would agree that it is a MUST (we happily gobbled it down in about 5 seconds). However, they were disappointed that the size of the green tea creme brulee has progressively decreased in size upon each of their visits to Umai. EDIT: I came here again and ordered the tonkotsu ramen again and it wasn't as satisfying as I previously remembered (the broth didn't seem to have as much depth). read more

I've been to Umai several times and it's a place that I would repeatedly go back! The ambience is chic and relaxing, and they have a huge menu that provides something perfect for everyone. It has become one of my go-to places for both friends' meetups and casual date nights. I love their Ton Kotsu Ramen and Winter Ramen, both super delicious and satisfying, perfect for the cold Chicago winter! I'm not a huge fan of the dip noodles though. The Gyu-don is also super tasty and is a large amount of food. The sushi I've had there is just fine but I'm open to trying some other ones. I'm excited to try their sukiyaki next time when I go back! Bonus point: Umai's South Loop location is away from the most popular restaurant areas in Chicago, so compared to similar options in River North or West Loop, it's usually much easier to get a table at Umai for equally wonderful food and dining experience. read more

You shouldn't have to order 1 whole roll for 2 pieces of sashimi. My friend and I got full so fast off of 4 rolls, 8 pieces of sashimi, and other orders. I liked it though, but that rule sucks. read more

Their katsu curry (カツカレー) was on point. I was very satisfied with it. I got take out and they even had the sauce in a separate container so it didn't get the rice wet. The egg was delicious as well. A little more spice to it would have been my preference, but I'm sure they would have something in the store if you did dine-in. read more

Was in Chicago with some coworkers. Not all of them are adventurous eaters (one of them just ate cornflakes the entire time we were there) and I wanted something I could write about. I searched Yelp for some sushi since I was craving it and Umai pops up with amazing reviews. I was staying at the Hilton Chicago which was a ten minute walk away. Made a reservation for one online just in case it was super busy. My table wasn't ready when I arrived, so I sat in the waiting area which is right near the entrance. Not a good idea. It's a small place, so they make do with what they have. You'll be in the way if you choose to sit down. I made my way the sushi bar since it was just me. I don't normally say this, but I'm glad I sat at the bar. The guys making the sushi were very nice to look at and extremely skillful. I could have watched them all night. I'm terrible, I know. My server, Nuii, came over and made some recommendations. Such a sweetie pie. I had no idea what I wanted, so I had to really dig through the menu. She brought me over some water and let me stew over what to eat. Looking through the menu and I already know I want to get as much as I can just in case I won't make it back again. The first thing that caught my eye were the shishito peppers. I've seen videos on YouTube of people cooking with them, but I had never had the chance to try them for myself. I also got some of the bbq hanger steak. What a good decision. The peppers were nicely charred and smokey with a vibrant green color. The lemon and bonito flakes were such a nice touch. Plus, I loved watching the flakes wilt under the lemon juice. If I didn't care for the rest of the menu, I would have ordered two more plates of them. The hanger steak was marinated properly and wasn't as chewy as I thought it would be. Came with a little shishito pepper on the side. At this point, I still don't know what I want, so I just take anything: beef gyu-don bowl with an onsen egg. I love onsen eggs! They remind me of the steamed eggs I used to make in Italy years ago. They really do transform a dish. If you're looking for a sauce or something to bring the dish together, an egg will do it. As soon as my server brought the dish out, I knew I had made the correct choice. Along with my bowl came some udon soup (with a pink fishcake!) and a small salad. Demolished the salad and drink the broth from the udon.. and the little fishcake, of course. And then I set my eyes on the gyu-don. My bowl is loaded with rice, beef, onions, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and a softly boiled egg. I don't mix everything together because I want to taste each ingredient individually. The rice had a great, chewy texture. Beef was cut and seasoned properly. The ginger was a good palate cleanser between bites after I decided to mix everything together. And the egg was amazing! Nice and gooey! Check out my videos to see some drippy egg action. This is the point where a normal person would get dessert or call it a night, but not Urs. Urs wants more even though her belly was already bursting. I ordered some uni just because it's sweet enough (to me) to be dessert. It has this nice custard-y thing going on and a slight sweetness that I live for. The chefs apparently messed up my order and gave me some sashimi on the side. I will never complain about extra, free food! Fish was super fresh along with the uni. It was great. But... yeah, my fat self couldn't stop. Finished the night knocking back raw quail eggs and soy sauce. To top it off, I got a sushi roll and some bbq pork shoulder for later on. I was a true mess when I left. I ate the pork and never even touched the sushi during my stay. What a waste. All of this good food came to $63.00 with tax. I did a bit of damage by myself, but I just knew I wouldn't be able to go back with our busy schedule. Yeah, I went back the very next night. I'm so fat, ya'll. My server this time was Megumi. She was so cute! I'm an awkward person, so I'm sure I made her uncomfy while ordering, but I tried. I finally looked at the drink menu and ordered a lychee martini. So delish. It wasn't overly alcohol-y which is what I fear with martinis. Just the right amount of sweet and bitter. Got some more shishito peppers to start my meal off right, but I was in no mood to eat as much food again. For my main, I had a plate of katsu kare with an onsen egg on the side. I love me some fried pork and gravy! The color of the curry was dark and luscious and the taste was on point. Paired with that crispy pork cutlet... I could have died right then and there. Mostly from clogged arteries, but happiness, too. Y'all will be proud of me! I got an actual dessert this time: lychee sorbet. It had these squishy chunks of lychee in it. A very refreshing way to end a meal. Damage: $35.00. Going to a big city when you're from a small town does you no good; it just spoils you. I will never find an experience like Umai anywhere nearby. read more
