Umami Sushi

"I generally keep my opinions to myself but in this case I cannot understand why this place isn't bursting beyond 5 stars. Absolutely the best sushi I have ever had, bar none! And I've been around. Don't hesitate, pick this one."

"Umami is a great sushi place in West Village. The fish is fresh with affordable price, and the service is fast and nice. I had enjoyable time with friend at Umami. It worth to come back again!"

"What a lovely, unassuming, and delicious experience! Nice ambiance, and the Chef's selection of 10 pieces was delicious. I also had crispy rice. Every piece of sushi was memorable. Definitely want to come back!"

"Overall an acceptable sushi restaurant, the fish/ingredients were fresh but portions were pretty small. For the area, perhaps the prices were reasonable but if I was eating else where, I don’t think it was worth it. However, the sushi was delicious and service was exceptional."

"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."
