★★★★★ 5.0 Brendan Franklin · Dec 2025

I have now gotten takeout from Umai four times in the last 2-months. Every item I have ordered has exceeded my expectations in freshness, flavor, and creativity. I have to say I most recently had the best order yet— The sunshine roll, the midori tuna roll, and the spam/egg cake onigiri— I don’t know how I am going to venture away from this order. Absolutely phenomenal. Online ordering is done with ease; order is always ready timely; staff are always kind. Prices are what you would expect from any fine sushi establishment. Would love to see some “specials” or “simple rolls” be offered at a lower rate— there’s a good chance I would just add it to my already amazing order! :) Thank you Umai eats!

if you’re looking for quality fish in traverse city this is the perfect place! this hidden gem had great food, great service and reasonable prices! the presentation of the food - ordered the fire in a bowl and daikon salmon sashimi plate - was amazing and will definitely come back for more

★★★★★ 5.0 Andrew Noverr · Oct 2025

No frills joint where the food is the reason to go. A limited menú and, in the restaurant's defense, why offer more when what you do serve is SO good? We had 4 rolls and all where exceptional. If we lived in Traverse City, we would surely be regular customers.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Shanlynn Cockeram · Feb 2026

For a newer place its pretty good the rolls are a manageable size. Definately a more take out oriented sushi place. Good variety and everything tasted fresh. We got 4 different rolls. However had to really look them over none of them were labeled and 1 looked to not be completed. Was supposed to be a spicy shrimp but the shrimp was super small and wasnt spicy. The other 3 rolls and thr nigiri was fantastic! Note: definately ask for extra soy sauce if you get more then 1 roll.

What a fantastic new hidden gem!!! With the fresh sushi, good prices and great customer service this place won't be a secret for long. I ordered the Tuna Umai Bowl and added spicy mayo. It was absolutely delicious!
