Hole in the wall sushi joint with about 25 seats total. Reasonably priced, about $15 - $20 for a roll. The service was quick and efficient. Would return!
New fave hole in the wall sushi spot in West Village. We sat down for dinner upon opening, and the restaurant quickly filled up thereafter. We got a sashimi set and a Nigiri set, followed with some rolls. Service was quick upon ordering, seating is a bit tight, but sushi was very fresh and delicious.
Walked in on a Friday at 5:51 PM and there was no wait, though it quickly filled up (it's a small spot). I tried the spicy tuna crispy rice, sushi and sashimi combination, and spicy scallop roll. Fantastic quality and great prices! Would return for their lunch specials.
Good quality sushi and decent price! Had the 18pc sashimi deluxe, and it was very worth it. Great value meal!
A very very small restaurant with minimal seating. This is definitely one of those local casual type sushi restaurants that you would bring a date or a friend. There is very very minimal seating, not a lot of space for parties greater than 2. Sushi came out quick and was decent. There was only one server lady for the whole place, so service was a bit slow but she was very nice.
Crispy rice with tuna: Made very well! The rice was super crispy and there was a good amount of tuna on top. The tuna was flavored well and chopped finely. The Jalapeño on top added a nice kick. The Zuke tuna roll was a flavor bomb full of tuna flavors. I quite liked it as it's my favorite type of fish. More fish than rice is always appreciated.
a small shop but they do have some seating. was busy when I went so I don't know how quickly you could get seated , but I got take out. everything was ready fairly quick. their crispy rice was good and their other rolls were about average but no complaints here--good for when you have a sushi craving and in the area
Some of the best sushi in New York. Flavors are on point and the price point is not too bad. Hidden gem in the west village very small so can be somewhat tight but service is quick.
Nice sushi spot in the west village! The food was fresh and tasty. The Greenwich roll was delicious. Wish I had more. The spicy salmon was not spicy but it was tasty. Yellowtail jalapeño was good but a bit tiny. I will say the sushi here is on the smaller size but it makes up for it with flavor. Ambiance is a small restaurant but business seems to be consistent. The service was very slow. Again food was great but we finished 2 rolls before our last roll came out that should have come out with the rest of our food.
For such a little place, I was surprised at how great the sushi was! Kudos to the sushi chef! The mini omakase was delicious, especially the tuna, scallop, hamachi, and kanpachi. The yellowtail jalapeño roll was great. The king salmon avocado roll wasn't my favorite, but I'd definitely come back.
WE LOVE SUSHI! Sadly I have to give a 1star review. It may have been an off day- Friday, 2pm, Feb 23, 2024. Try for yourself- maybe things will become better after I write this. This teeny tiny hole in the wall, enchanted us and charmed us to come in. It can seat about 10 people. We thought we were lucky to find such a place. There were two other couples inside, so we felt safe going in. One couple seemed like regulars... It seemed like they sat there all day, talking about business and drinking tea. It's a quirky seating situation - with benches pressed smack against the wall - bring your good posture! Haha! Stacked dishes and odds n ends occupy one table so that leaves few choices to pick from. The waitress was NY style - not rude, but also not friendly. She seemed too busy for us. Didn't like to be bothered with questions. The sad part is, a few hours later, we all went to Times Square for a show... and my daughter got sick and threw up everywhere from the sushi. It's all she had eaten all day. Our last meal the night before was at 6pm. It was positively the sushi. She threw up all over her new Ugg boots, her dress. She was on her hands and knees in her stockings, in Times Square throwing up! Poor girl. It was the most embarrassing moment ever for her. We were really lucky that a lot of people rushed to help her. She had to skip the show, (there goes mom's money... that would be me!) I put her in a cab with a plastic bag to try to make it home without throwing up. She threw up all night long in our hotel room. It was miserable.? We were supposed to fly out the next morning, but I was nervous that she wouldn't be able to. (There goes more money!!) After she got all the sushi out of her, she felt fine, just tired from having been up all night throwing up. We made it back home to Washington. It was a good reminder to pick your sushi place very very carefully. Maybe coming at an odd hour, 2 PM, going to a very small place, wasn't the best idea for us. I ate the Hamachi and was just fine. My girlfriend ate the California roll and tuna roll and was also just fine. My daughter ate the eel and the prawns tempura and got really sick. Maybe it was the oil??? I would never want to blame a restaurant, for something that I didn't believe was true. My daughter hadn't eaten anything else... not even breakfast, and got sick three hours after eating here. I didn't take more pictures... but this is my daughter and my friend.
Came here on a weeknight looking for some quick and causal sushi. This spot is small but very cute and cozy inside. There were lots of choices and the sushi came out fresh and delicious.
This place has solid sushi for the price. You'd easily spend twice as much for sushi of this quality at other places. I was able to walk in without a reservation on a Sunday evening. The restaurant has a cozy vibe and it only seats a handful of tables. The staff were super attentive and food came quickly. I ordered some sake, a cucumber salad, and a sushi deluxe dinner set. The sushi deluxe consisted of 10 pieces of nigiri and a spicy tuna roll and was only $26!! I wasn't the biggest fan of the cucumber salad (the dressing was a little too sweet for my taste) but I was pretty blown away by the sushi quality for the price. I appreciated that they gave a variety of fish types in the nigiri selection. The pieces are very big, but I felt quite full at the end of my meal. My only complaint is that I wish it was closer to my neighborhood so I could come here more often

Stopped here for dinner on a Saturday on a whim and was so happy with our choice! We walked in and were seated right away. It is a really small place with around 6-8 tables so it probably gets busy at times and there may be a wait. One of the best parts of their menu here is that you can order sushi by the piece. My mom doesn't always have the biggest appetite so for her to be able to order only a few pieces instead of an entire roll was a huge plus! I had to crispy tuna rice appetizer and the dragon roll. Literally so good. I was seriously craving crispy rice and these were perfect. I would order this again and again. The sushi was fresh and taste great as well. Super glad we decided to come here! read more
This evening we were going to a jazz club where a friend of our son works at, but they don't serve food, so we had to find a place in the area of where the club is at. Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table. read more

Delish and fresh. The pieces are delicate and melt in your mouth. Won't break the bank!! Very reasonable read more
I went for lunch and got the three roll special with spicy salmon, spicy tuna and salmon mango. Rolls were fresh especially for only $15.95. Service was good and quick. It's a smaller place but when I went I was able to sit immediately. Good for dining alone or going with a friend. read more
A casual place for some great sushi! Definitely a missable hole in wall but once you walk in it's very cutely decorated with attentive servers throughout. I ordered a glass of plum wine with a regular sashimi plate and for $31 it was not bad pricing at all! The fish is fresh, the rice is well cooked and the plum wine is delightful. My favorite piece though was the tuna though, normally I am not a ginger fan but, they added just enough ginger and scallion to add a little something something to the fish without overwhelming it. Overall, would definitely recommend for takeout or a solo sushi date on your own! read more
Cute spot for great sushi. It might not look like much but umami sushi has great sashimi and rolls. The fish all tasted high quality and the plating was great. Service was very quick and kind. I didn't seen the spicy tuna roll on the menu except in the combination section, but they were able to accommodate my order but letting me order it off the combo without making it an actual combo. The eel was soooo good I'm already thinking about when I'll be going back again to have it. Next time I have to try the crispy rice topped with spicy tuna! read more
This is a small, cute neighborhood sushi restaurant. There are only a few tables, but the service is fast and the tables turn over quickly. They also take reservations. The sushi is fresh and flavorful. I have tried several of their signature rolls and liked all of them: * Sunfire Roll (snow crab, cucumber, mango, and avocado) * Dynamai Roll (baked scallops, shiitake, and torched masago mayo) * Salmon Special Roll (spicy salmon tempura, raw salmon, and salmon roe) * Niji Roll (California Roll with different types of raw fish) I kept on eyeing what others ordered, as there were some other really fun rolls. I guess I will just have to come back. read more

West Village sushi spot only half filled with what looked like NYU coeds on the evening we visited. Easy seating on a busy Saturday night made us a little concerned. Tiny tables with dusty ledges and window sills, very 1970's NY vibe. Ordered the sushi sashimi for 3 since we were hungry. Didn't come with miso soup or salad :( but the selection of sashimi and sushi was fresh and "umami" :) No premium items like uni, ebi botan, scallops or toro, just the standard tuna, yellowtail, salmon, avocado and imitation crab. With so many very good sushi sashimi restaurants in NYC, though not notable, this place was passable for no-frills sushi. Below average value at about $150 for the sushi sashimi platter for 3 (perfectly portioned for 2 people) and a beer. One hit wonder. read more

Tiny neighborhood sushi place that barely seats 20 people. We came here on a whim and didn't have big expectations but it was actually really good!! Great sushi for the price, especially in Manhattan. We called ahead to ask about seat availability and they had a table saved for us -- rest of service was quick as well. read more
This place was the best find!! Looks like a hole in the wall but the sushi was fantastic! Everything was super fresh and tasted delicious. They have 3 different crispy rice options, I had the spicy tuna and loved it! Will definitely come back to try the rest. We had 3 different special rolls and all were amazing but I think my favorite was the Zuku chu toro roll. They also had a lot of great, affordable sake options. Absolutely coming back read more
Craving sushi at 9:45. Nothing was open anymore and we stumbled across this on yelp. Sushi was ok. Nothing to write home about. Cuts were in the smaller side. Definitely pricier. Each sushi was based per price so it adds up real quick. If you are up late and looking for a bite, I would say go for it. Not very many other places that you can order Al carte instead of omokase. read more

I first came here on a date a few weeks ago. We found it on a Google search and just went with it. Tiny hole in a wall with a couple of tables outdoors. We opted to sit outside. We both ordered a few sushi rolls each. I got the California roll with real crabmeat, spicy scallop, and crunch spicy tuna. I loved all my choices. Everything was fresh and delish. Love that they offer something slightly uncommon and for very reasonable prices. My date was happy with his rolls as well. We also shared a small bottle of sake. Their booze is priced well for sure. Service was very friendly and efficient. What more can you ask for? I came back for lunch the other day, and will be coming whenever I'm in the area. read more

Is this place BYOB?
We have beer wine sake. If you want to bring your bottle , $10 a bottle for the corkage fee.
Someone posted that they got a free appetizer with their Yelp Check In at Umami Sushi. Do you just need to mention Yelp to get that? Also see a 10% discount with Yelp mention last November when they first opened, wondering if that still applies.
yes check in yelp will get free appetizer. But we don’t do 10% any more, only for opening. Thx
