Finally got to try the Omakase at Umai although my husband wanted à la carte so we couldn't go with the sushi bar. Fish was fresh and delicious. I went with the 12 piece Omakase without Eel and enjoyed every piece (no soy sauce or wasabi, just chefs choice). My husband loved the Umai Big Special roll. Service was great. No rushing like many NJ restaurants and very helpful servers. Our high top table was right next to the sushi bar so we could see and hear what was going on. Next visit I definitely want to be at the bar. The restaurant is small and intimate. Definitely lots of "regulars" with relationship with the owner/chef. He was very friendly to us from afar. I would love to be a regular, it's just too pricey for my weekly budget but definitely worth every penny. If you eat sushi in NJ you've got to try it. Plus there's a great video about the restaurant and owner I found online. read more

Small restaurant in a strip mall, this location is easy to miss! We opted for the full omakase menu which includes a starter of edamame. The truffle salt edamame was delicious!!! Sitting at the sushi bar, we were ready to EAT! Just absolutely loved every bite... most fish is flown in from Japan! The simplicity of each bite allows you to appreciate the freshness of the fish. Thankfully, we were the early seating, as the restaurant was packed by the time we were finished. Service was good and didn't rush us out the minute we ate the last bite... refreshing! read more

Absolutely appreciated the authenticity of this place. There are so many sushi places that are so Americanized / gentrified that they've lost the art of sushi itself. They claim to fly in most of their fish from Japan daily (for fish denoted on the board with an asterisk) and the taste certainly makes this claim believable when compared to other authentic establishments in NYC and California. Here - you can eat your nigiri and maki rolls with your hands! No chopsticks! Keep it authentically Japanese. Firstly, you don't need to do omakase- there's an a la carte menu and more of the typical rolls you'd expect at all sushi places. We opted for the 18 omakase course so we could taste a variety and enjoy the creativity. We started with edamame drizzled with delicious truffle oil. The menu is designed to start with lighter to heavier, fattier fish. Wow. What a delight. You need to come here with an appetite. There were a couple of pieces that were quite rich for me and the chef also cut some of the bigger pieces in half for me as one bite would have been overwhelming for me. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner along with the sake we brought. Since we came in for the second seating on a Thursday night, we had the pleasure of having the full, undivided attention of Chef Kevin. He was fantastic and his magic alone would make us return here. The place is small, inviting and the staff is wonderful. We cannot wait to bring others along for dinner and we will very likely not get sushi from anywhere else (they also offer takeout!) unless we need to. read more

This rating is solely based on the omakase experience. The fish was fine but every piece of omakase seemed very basic. My husband also said it was overly salty and I agree. We initially were going to do the 18 piece set but after a couple pieces that were a miss, we asked our waitress to change to 12 piece. Also the difference between 12 and 18 piece, the cost was almost double. This could be a decent spot, but they need to work on the flavor profile. For what you're paying, it's not worth it. read more

Was looking for a good Omakase place close to home for a birthday celebration. The food is really good but because of the interior decor it loses a bit of the 'panash' of feeling like its a higher qulaity place. We got the following: 1. Truffle edaname- very tasty 2. Japanese eggplant- very tasty 3. 12 course Omakase- very tasty 4. vegetarian sushi rolls- very basic We didn't sit at the bar and maybe we would have had a different experience if we had. read more

Amazing Omakaze! We had dinner here on a Thursday night & it did not disappoint. We had miso soup, truffle edamame, tempura shrimp, 12 piece Omakaze and some à la carte items. Everything was super fresh and delish! Highly recommend & will definitely be back. read more

Got the 18 piece omakase the selection is so good and fresh. I love the uni, it's the freshest and most buttery and tender uni I've ever eaten. I also really did like the fatty tuna seared, that was so delicious it was melting in my south. Also the service was so fast so you're never waiting too much in between rolls. Also it was not that busy when we came in which is nice so it was quiet. read more

My friend had lost our yearly bet on baseball so he was on the hook for dinner. In the only right fashion, I decided to pick an Omakase for the occasion. Umai Omakase is not off the main road so I really hadn't known about it other than the recommendation of a friend. The space inside the actual restaurant is fairly small but had a comfortable atmosphere. The chef we had for the occasion was friendly and pleasant. He had a few attempts at humor that didn't always hit but I appreciated the effort. The food itself was fresh and delicious. I thought the variety of the fish and dishes was well-thought-out. For the duration of the 18 piece meal, I never felt overly full and thought the pacing was great. Omakase is not something you'll get all the time (my bank account wouldn't survive) but I thought the experience here was top notch. The next time I win a bet or just want to have a nice sushi experience, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to Umai Omakase. read more

Excellent food and service. Place is clean. Chefs went out of their way for our birthday party

Finally! A high quality sushi place which specializes in omakase. Cannot believe it took me this long to get to this Essex county gem. I guess I had lost faith that there could actually be great sushi in NJ. (Admittedly I generally go to the city for my omakase fix) The chef restauranteur was there the entire time overseeing it all. We loved our seats closer to the chalk board, this spot allows you to see all the prep going into the creation of each piece. We opted for the 18 piece omakase for $150 which I thought was a fair price. The fish quality, cuts and presentation were spot on. We had only 1 piece, the hamachi which was so so. But everything else was delish. The wagyu was delish, they had the seasonal goldeneye snapper which was also lovely. They do a few cool unique preparations for the last three pieces. One is tuna with a raw quail egg topped with uni. It's a pretty amazing decadent bite. The sushi rice is yummy too. We learned by speaking with the chef/owner that this location will be converting to an all omakase place with a standard 15piece omakase which will include a handroll and dessert. This is I being done as they prepare to open a new concept place called Fat Buddha with 150 seats down the way in Caldwell. I am going to continue to patron this little hole in the wall omakase place. It is so exciting to have a spot like this less than 15 minutes from my home. No tunnel, no parking fees and no hassle of going to the city. Well done Umai. A total winner. read more

Tucked away off the main road in a tiny little complex sits Umai Sushi & Steakhouse. The restaurant itself is very cozy inside to the point that I'd recommend doing a reservation prior. After hearing lots of good things from friends and coworkers alike, I decided to venture out and try the Omakase menu. The menu consisted of either 12 pieces for $85 and 18 pieces for $150 along with some A La Carte offerings on the side. I opted to do the 18 piece omakase, and safe to say it did not disappoint at all. The fish was very fresh and each piece of nigiri was crafted to perfection while still maintaining their respective and distinct individual flavor profiles. I definitely had some personal favorites excluding the heavy hitters like the wagyu and the toro/otoro. . I had an 830pm reservation and, I believe ended around 10pm ish . So please set aside a couple of hours if you're planning on going . It was the most delicious 2 hours I've had doing NJ omakases to date . Thank you chef and I will definitely be coming back ! read more

My new favorite sushi place in NJ! I was very impressed by the freshness and quality of the fish. You know it's a legit sushi place when they have toro and uni on the menu. For apps, I recommend the toro tartare, yellowtail jalapeño, and kani salad. They also gave edamame on the house. We had the following rolls which were all excellent: - Umai Sushi Big Special Roll - Spicy Crispy Crunch Special Roll -Alaska roll I have also returned and had the omakase. The pieces were excellent! Chefs kiss* The place is small with a few tables and bar seating, so reservation is necessary. Modern ambiance with techno/ambient music playing in the background. Place is run by a family and they are efficient. Highly recommend. read more

After hearing a lot about this place, we finally decided to try it. We did the 18 course omakase. I really wanted to like this place and the fish was fresh, however, some of the flavor combinations did not sit with me. I almost would have preferred the fish to be served as is without the extra toppings/flavors added since the fresh fish alone speaks for itself. I really wanted to like this place since we've been looking for a good local sushi restaurant. It was an experience but I wouldn't go back. read more

Very nice to have such quality Sushi close to home. Have been wanting to try this place for a while and it didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh and the service was impeccable. Alan and John were very gracious and made masterpieces with each Omakse piece. We came here for lunch, so it was a very low key vibe and were well taken care of. Will absolutely be back and enjoyed our first experience here. read more

I was looking for a high quality Omakese sushi experience without having to travel into New York City. After doing some research, I came across Umai Omakase. If you are a fan of sushi, this establishment has to be on your bucket list to visit. We did the 18 piece Omakase experience, and it was absolutely exceptional- every piece meticulously crafted using the highest quality fish flown in from Japan daily. This experience gives you the opportunity to try rate fish not often found in conventional sushi establishments. I early anticipate my next visit. read more

Umai Omakase - Sushi Bars Near Me - Verona, New Jersey

Very interesting to see so many five star reviews, with most focused on omakase. This place is nearby so we thought we'd start by trying some rolls, both a basic tuna roll and a few of their specialty rolls. They were all good, not more outstanding than our favorite spot in Montclair but as good. Nicely done interior for this little spot. Guess I will have to try the 12 piece omakase soon to see if I agree if the chef's choices warrant it or not. Great for Verona to have this place, and in the same strip as our wonderful Empanada Lady. Will this become an outstanding international food court for Verona? We could use a really good Indian, French bistro, and ramen! Very good sushi already! read more

As a wheelchair user who has just been denied service due to a lack of accessible seating, I'd give zero stars if possible. I tried to make a reservation for the Omakase experience, and was informed by the owner that it is only served at the bar. I asked to be accommodated at a table due to my disability, and he said that unless I could get out of my chair and into a bar seat, it wasn't possible. I told him that this was a discriminatory violation of ADA Law, and he replied "I'm not trying to be discriminatory, that's just how we do it here." To be clear- if a disabled customer is not able to experience the same menu and service as non-disabled customers, that's illegal. On top of that, the owner was not very polite or empathetic to this issue. I will not be patronizing this business. ADA Law: "An accessible table has a surface height of no more than 34 inches and no less than 28 inches above the floor. At least 27 inches of knee clearance must be provided between the floor and the underside of the table. An accessible route provides access to each accessible table and a clear floor area 30 inches by 48 inches is provided at each accessible seating location. This clear floor area extends 19 inches under the table to provide leg and knee clearance." (https://archive.ada.gov/reachingout/servingcustomers.html) read more

Fantastic addition to the community. In a county that's pretty densely populated with so many "sushi" options, this one is by far a stand out spot without being pretentious. We kicked things off with the soft shell crab appetizer which was a crispy delight and I have had my fair share of soft shell crab. I would highly recommend the Omakase option (12, 18 or 22 pieces) each piece was not just fresh but you could taste every single delicate texture and flavor each held its own down to the warm perfectly cooked and seasoned grains of rice. We opted for the 12 piece; it's hard to say my favorites but if I had to pick: Himachi, Aji, Toro, Wagyu. Every single piece was like a new gift and that's not an exaggeration. Allen (hope I spelled that right) is a great example of identifying a passion and sticking to it no matter what stage in life that might be. I really didn't take pics because I was too busy enjoying every single bite. What a treat and I cannot wait to come back! Staff: Friendly, and thoughtful Space: bar seating, high tops and about 5-6 tables that could fit between 2-6. Parking lot or street parking read more

Umai Sushi is the BEST local sushi and omakase spot in New Jersey. The pieces are incredibly fresh and flown in from Japan daily. The owner gives classic Jersey and is super sweet and passionate about what he's created. The sushi is inventive and delicious. The ambiance is a little strange, there are colorful lights and tequila bottles among the decor choices. Acoustics are also pretty terrible and the sound level is high. But who cares, it's the best spot. The bar seating is reserved for Omakase, but there are regular tables and a few high tops if you aren't looking to drop $85 for 12 pieces. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, the only options you have is edamame (there are 3 different kinds), shishito peppers, and avocado or cucumber rolls. They have asparagus on the menu but didn't have any asparagus rolls when we went. Extremely limited. I hope they add a few additional vegetarian options - I bet they could make a dope veg special roll. The secret is out because this place is PACKED even during a weeknight (call to make a reservation!!!). read more

During a recent visit to Umai Omakase, the freshness and quality of the fish were impressive. First, the quality of the fish was excellent and fresh. Also, the website shows a picture of sushi, so you are not going there to be surprised by relatively high expectations. Second, the sushi taste balance and course of the taste were great; they started with lighter flavors and progressed to richer ones. Third, they only offer bottled water, whether sparkling or regular, which I was very satisfied with. No tap water is getting served. Fourth, the restaurant is only RSVP, so it's not overcrowded and noisy. You can enjoy sushi in a quiet environment. Fifth, how sushi is presented on a stoned plate was beautiful. Last, its BYOB, which I always love to bring my favorite wine. However, several aspects of the experience left me disappointed and unlikely to return. Firstly, the division between the kitchen and customer seating eliminated any chef interaction, contrary to the omakase tradition of engaging directly with guests to tailor the experience based on their preferences. This lack of interaction with the chef detracts from the essence of Omakase, where the chef prepares the food and engages with diners to tailor the experience to their tastes and preferences. This interaction is a crucial element in traditional Omakase and contributes significantly to the overall enjoyment and satisfaction of the meal. Secondly, I observed sanitation practices, specifically how the chopsticks rests and tables were wiped down. The server cleaned the table with paper towel around the still-used chopstick rests and later wiped the rests themselves with a cloth, not taking them to wash with food-grade dish soap and dry. This approach raises doubts about the effectiveness of their cleaning methods in preventing microbial contamination. Last, the overuse of a torch on the sushi detracted from the natural qualities of the fish. Traditional Japanese omakase sparingly uses a torch to enhance flavors without overwhelming them, but the fish was fully cooked here, compromising the texture and taste. The restaurant has the potential and hopes to improve these areas to provide an omakase experience that respects the cuisine's subtleties and essential hygiene standards. read more

Thank you to Alan and the other chefs for such an amazing experience. Not traditional by any means, but you can see how fresh this fish is. And if you really know, it's obvious that most of it if not all is flown over from Japan. The quality of his rice is exceptional. Ask him about his rice, there's more than meets the eye. The attention to detail on each plate is hidden if your brain and pallet aren't trained to look for it. There isn't anything that is just cut, opened, and plopped on a plate. Even the garlic....ask him about his garlic. BYOB for now. His new location will have liquor. Please go and make a reservation for the sushi bar for his Omakase experience. Get the 18 pieces, it's well worth it. Eat a light lunch so your stomach can handle each and every piece. Thanks guys for an awesome night! read more

Title: Incompetent management backed up by turd-like ownership. 5pm reservation, pulling in the parking lot at 4:50 I get a call, "Hello, so sorry, we don't have a 5pm seating tonight, only 6:30". But I reserved 5pm on Resy. "Ah, well, we forgot to change that". Offered me the first drink free if I went to their sister restaurant down the road which also has an 18 piece Omakase. So fine, I'm game, celebrating and didn't want to ruin the first part of the night. Then she told me the name of the restaurant, 'Grand Buddha'. OKAAAAYYY, not what you expect for a high end Japanese restaurant...but again, was already there, too late to go the other way to Sushi Kai in Ft Lee which is where I should have gone as its widely regarded as the best in NJ, but, shit, I was here so just really wanted this to work. Going to tell you the other half of the story because it has relevance to the ownership situation at Umai: Arrived at the other place it's super cheesy. It was like a newly renovated sports bar with a sushi counter on one side. But again, was going on faith that it had the same sushi so everything would be all right. Then I looked at the wine list. Absolute trash. When I see Kim Crawford on the menu I become Paul Giamatti in Sideways when Merlot is mentioned. Now Umai Omakase is BYOB, so I had a beautiful bottle in the car and asked if I could bring it in. "OK, wait, let me call the owner and ask". She was aware of the situation because the other restaurant had called that we would be coming and I reiterated what had happened and that this restaurant was not equipped to properly handle my celebration. And I would have been willing to pay a corkage. The answer, as you can probably tell by the review rating, was no. Absolutely incomprehensible. read more

Dined here June 3, 2023. Ordered the 18 pieces for $150. The restaurant had some interesting fish being served like the amadai which reminded me of a goldfish. The sushi combos were pretty tasty as well. Nice to have a restaurant serving high quality fish in the area. The sushi rice was very flavorful compared to other places (not sure that's typical for sushi rice). BYOB but there is a "stash" that is offered if you don't have any and free complimentary bottled water. Wish there were other beverage options like hot tea. It was neat to see the chopstick boxes of the other patrons who must dine there often. 18 pieces left me full enough but not stuffed. The place is small, and if you want to have the omakase, you have to sit at the sushi bar. read more

My daughter treated me to an Omakase lunch for my birthday at Umai. I must say it was the best gift a foodie can receive. Six stars for food if Yelp had the option. The exterior is quite deceiving yet once you enter, you are transported to an amazing and authentic sushi experience. Umai is a small, intimate spot with a warm atmosphere. The owner, Allen Perchonok is very engaging and truly passionate about his restaurant. It shows with each bite of only the freshest fish and ingredients. Many of the fish options are flown in fresh from Japan. The rice is also on another level. It serves as an incredible bed of deliciousness upon which the fish and wagyu rest. You don't need soy sauce or any other accoutrement. That would be a sin. We had the 12 piece Omakase which is listed on a blackboard and can change slightly. There is also an a la carte menu at the tables. Each course has its own "wow"factor. Even the complimentary edamame is addictive.Highlights were the wagyu, the scallop with black rock salt, the hamachi, the toro, and on and on. If you watch his documentary on the Umai website, Chef Allen Perchonok says " I hope to do this forever". I hope so as as well. A must visit! read more

A funky, small place decorated with ceramic tequila bottles has half a dozen tables and a sushi bar reserved for expensive omakase sittings. BYOB but no wine glasses and water served via Poland Spring plastic bottle. Appetizers of teri eggplant and "Grand Buddha" salad were excellent. Omakase, traditionally chosen daily by the chef, is from a fixed menu of sushi. Sushi was OK but advertised toppings of Ossetra Caviar, Foie Gras, and shaved Black Truffle were missing from our servings of Omakase. An expensive meal that I don't view as a good value. read more

One word: wow. To echo other reviews, we walked away after our meal at Umai proclaiming this was the best sushi we have ever had. We started off with the edamame with spicy tagarashi before diving into the 12 piece omakase. Each piece tasted exceptional- buttery soft and bursting with flavor. The thoughtfulness that went into each piece is clear. We also ordered 2 special rolls (our eyes are bigger than our stomachs- we could've done without them) which were delicious as well. The owner is very welcoming and even let us have some of his sake while ours was chilling (it's BYO). I recommend making reservations, especially during the weekend. Definitely check this place out and try the omakase! read more

Still some of not the best sushi I've ever had and that includes Nobu , Blue Ribbon. The place is always packed and for good reason. However, the waitress service is not good for a place where your paying money like that. They sit at the corner of the sushi bar on their phones waiting for their orders. No checking back on you. If your paying that price you need far better service. Also, if you're getting Omakase you are definitely treated much better than the tables. The owner pays attention to you. In a place the size of the shoebox he should be making the rounds. That said., its is a must go to place. read more

Sushi is the best in NJ! Omakase is excellent & if you don't eat seafood or meat they will accommodate. Service was awful. We were eating our appetizers & the server came over in mid bite & took the food away saying the food was on its way. How rude!! Plus it didn't come for over 20 minutes after. Then after dinner we were finishing up our wine they had just opened for us & they made us leave. I understand there are reservations waiting, but it's the way it was said & done. Perhaps let the guests know 10-15 minutes ahead so we know & aren't rushed out, it changes the experience. Excellent food & cute place with rude service. read more

Excellent, unpretentious Omakase restaurant! The owner Alan and his wife and daughter are awesome and very fun to chat with. They run the restaurant as a family. We had the 18 piece Omakase for $150. There is a 12 piece option as well as a 22 piece. Thought 18 was perfect for me; no need for appetizers as it was definitely filling enough on its own but not over the top. Alan let us know he is a classically trained French chef so his omakase style is not pure traditional Japanese. He does some interesting flavor combinations which I thought were delicious and fresh. Quality of the fish was excellent across the board. My favorites were: - the scallop with salt and citrus - the Big Mac - toro, scallop and uni - the wagyu with caviar - the chopped eel - the seared fish sushi He changes up the omakase regularly to keep things interesting. Excited to go back and try more flavor combos that Alan thinks up! BYOB. Recommend reservations as this place is heating up, even though they've only been open for a few months. read more

There is a small written suggestion on one of the tiles to close your eyes and enjoy and I highly recommend it. Service: everyone was wonderful and amazing! and the spicy edamame at the start were delicious Ambiance: lively but I could have a clear conversation with my husband and even the couple sitting next to us who also really enjoyed their meal I have no pictures because I ate everything immediately and did not take my phone out at all! read more

Started off with a caviar bump with friends -- something that's new, interesting, and fun! The temperature of your hand will warm the caviar which heightens the flavor and aroma. I highly recommend trying their omakase, you can pick between 12 pieces or 24 pieces. The omakase set is perfect for trying out different type of sushi so you can decide on which one is your favorite! My favorite was toro and the uni + wagyu. Each piece was extremely fresh and you can tell they use the highest quality. Spicy Spider Roll -- fried soft shell crab? Say less. Crunchy and flavorful, dip it with spicy mayo for more flavaaa. Akira Roll -- for anyone who love a Philadelphia roll, the Akira roll is better! It has eel, cream cheese, cucumber, tuna, crab salad & tobiko. The owner Allen is so nice, attentive and really know his stuff! Don't hesitate to ask him for recommendation and if you want to know more about sushi. read more

We had a lovely birthday dinner at Umai. Deducting one star for the following two reasons: 1. When we arrived, we noticed two chefs' stations (left and right). The seats in front of the right station were reserved, so we took two seats in front of the left chef's station. There ended up only being one chef, and since he was on the other side of the bar, we could not see any of his preparation. If there is only going to be one chef, he should be centered. For $300+ I would have liked to see the food being prepared, which in my opinion, is the best part of an Omakase. Next time I would reserve specific seats in my reservation. 2. Because we had the last two seats from the chef & were last two to be served, our portions seemed smaller than the people next to us. There were a few courses where I swapped pieces with my husband so he could have the bigger piece of fish. Overall, the food was great, BYOB, and they had an awesome Spotify playlist going. I look forward to coming back. read more

Zero isn't an option so... I'll never know what the quality of the sushi is here, because I've never been able to get in the door. Beware!! Although they have a link to Resy on their website, reservations made there are not honored or acknowledged. I once went with 3 other people, (believing I had a res), only to find out the restaurant was closed for vacation & the door was left open, too? If you call, there's no message & mailbox is full. Maybe it's good, maybe it's not, but clearly there is no concern for customers. Tried again today for the last time. Wish the results were better but with this attention to detail maybe they don't deserve new patrons. read more

If you're looking to experience the finest level of sushi, creativity and freshness, you have found the perfect place at Umai Sushi. I started going in to see Allen earlier this year and can confidently say he is serving the best omakase in the state. It's refreshing to have a top level sushi bar locally without having to go into the city. Perhaps the best part is you are not sacrificing an ounce of quality by staying local. The omakase sets max out at 22 pieces, but make sure to remember your favorites and run it up as high as you can go. The record is 50. read more
