Umami Japanese Restaurant 172 Union Street, Vernon, CT 06066

"The best sushi in the area. Always fresh and delicious. The service is great, and the people are friendly. It’s great for take out and dine in. Highly recommend based on quality, creativity, presentation, and value."

"The only reason I'm giving a 2 instead of 1 star is because we had a previous good experience. Only thing I can say, is do NOT takeout from here. Look at these portion sizes, they were $14 and $16 dollars respectively, for 6 prices of sushi the size of my thumb, literally, the photos don't do if justice. The rice was also clearly old they did not heat any of the tempura, so it was chewing cold dough... awful takeout experience. Other reviews say 5 star probably ate in-house."

"Umami has surprisingly good sushi! The outside of the restaraunt is unassuming but the sushi was all fresh and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the lunch combination and the crab Rangoon were tasty too. Will definitely return to try more of the menu."

"I love this place. I moved here from the Bay Area in CA where we had incredible sushi. This is the only place I have found that is comparable. The sushi is always fresh and everyone there is very attentive and nice. Highly recommend."

"I reserve my 5 star reviews for the best of the best, and Umami Sushi fully deserves it. The sushi platter for two is an amazing variety of sushi and sashimi. Mouthwatering fresh, with a little bit of everything. Even the presentation inside our huge takeout container was done with great care. I've had the fortune of eating sushi in Japan, and for a quiet little place in Vernon, CT, this is the next best thing."
