Umami Sushi

Like most other reviewers I really like this restaurant!  The sushi has never been anything other than fresh and delicious and the owners know who we are when we come in and warmly greet us each time.  It's such a friendly and welcoming place!  The only drawback is that we like this place so much that we keep returning here and haven't tried more of the local flavors.  I unhesitatingly recommend Umano Sushi to anyone that wants good sushi, good service, a good atmosphere and all that at a very reasonable price.

My favorite sushi spot in Westchester. I like sushi mikes in Dobbs ferry but over there the service is unfriendly and you feel rushed the entirely time. Umami is cheaper and taste great and everyone is super nice!

This Japanese restaurant has quickly become one of my favorites in the area. I don't remember how we found it exactly, but it was a great discovery. I think that we chose it originally because whatever review we read said that the chairs were especially comfortable. This turned out to be true, for the record.

I've only been here two or three times, but after the first time I went the owner remembered myself and my friends. Recognition is always a great way to get on my good side, but the fact that the food here is great didn't hurt, either. I usually get one form of sushi roll or another and haven't been disappointed. The Umami roll is great, and I LOVE the Spicy Girl roll. I've tried a ton of their appetizers and have loved them all, too. The chicken gyoza is delicious and the tempura doesn't skimp on the veggies. Also - FRIED ICE CREAM! One of the few places that I've found that does this dish right. It only comes in vanilla though, which kind of sucks. If they added green tea fried ice cream to the menu, I might just edit this to give it five stars. They do have green tea mochi, though.

Umami is kind of small, but it's never very crowded so I wouldn't say that getting a table would ever be a problem. The prices are reasonable, certainly not any more expensive than at similar places in the neighborhood. The staff is very attentive and accommodating, and as I said, the chairs are REALLY comfy. The rest of the atmosphere is nice, too - a little dark, a little trendy, and the tables aren't too crowded considering that the restaurant is on the narrow side. There's a big circular booth in the corner that I love sitting at because it allows me a view of the entire place so that I can spy on people's orders and get food envy. And trust me, you will too - the presentation of each meal isn't lacking, either. It's probably contributing to how I keep going back (and will continue to) again and again.
