This restaurant is bar none the best sushi spot in north jersey. Truly deserves a Michelin star. The sushi is flown in from Japan and literally melts in your mouth no teeth required . I’ve been here more than five times already and never ever disappointed. The steak surprisingly was also phenomenal and arrived with the perfect sides. The sushi rolls are also good but tbh the sushi over rice is my absolute favorite. Allen the owner is truly a talented chef and doesn’t mess around. He takes what he does very seriously and deserves recognition. The only negative is the place is too good, is always busy and i can never get a reservation . Jokes aside the food is an experience and you leave here content.

I went here for lunch with a friend on a weekday afternoon when the restaurant opened. It’s located in a small strip shopping center with limited parking, but on a weekday it was no problem. On a weekend you may have to use the nearby municipal parking lot.

By far the best sushi you’ll get around here without traveling to the city. The owner is hilarious and the atmosphere is quite comfortable.

Umai is literally the best sushi I have ever had. Quality is always a 20/10. Every piece is heaven. I try to get there as often as I can. It is the most fun atmosphere and I cannot go too long without the craving. They treat you like family and the experience is also a 20/10.

My husband and I ate there tonight for the first time. Allen and his staff provided a dining experience so exquisite that I feel my words would not do it justice.

Without a doubt lives up to its reputation and the hype! The sushi here is so fresh, so different. If you are looking for run of the mill sushi, this isn’t the place. This is high end! Tastes that you’ve never tasted before. We’ve gone twice now and we’re hooked. We’ve tried a few different appetizers and several rolls both times and each was incredible. Can’t wait to try Omakase next time! The decor & music are a vibe. We find ourselves Shazamming every song. This place is an EXPERIENCE!

A gem of a sushi restaurant buried in a small strip center. The sushi was OUTSTANDING. Omikase was exceptional. Perfect ratio of fish/rice. Jalapeño yellowtail was outstanding. The service was great.

Local Omakase with pub music, interesting combination. Food is fresh, some of them fly from Japan on the same day. We ordered $75 per person omakase with 12 different sushi. It took us 2 hours to finish at dinner. Actually 4 stars for quality and an extra star for encouragement in Verona area, as 1st omakase cuisine, keep it on!
