Umami Crudo

Amazing experience! The ingredients are extremely fresh, and every dish shows a great balance between quality and creativity. You can really tell that a lot of thought goes into each plate. I’ve been to Umami Omakase, which is run by the same chef, and the quality here is just as high. Both restaurants maintain an excellent and consistent standard. What I especially like about this location is the flexibility — you can order individual dishes and choose exactly what you want to eat, but if you’re looking for a more complete experience, they also offer an omakase plate. The service truly stands out. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every dish in detail, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, fantas

Really impressed with the sushi, ramen, service, and atmosphere. We had pork ribs that were tender and flavorful, shishito peppers, shrimp tempura roll, 1 order of akami nigiri and chi toro nigiri seared (that one is my highlight), Japanese wagyu nigiri, the spicy miso ramen. The cheesecake was the perfect size dessert not too sweet but very flavorful. Ate everything and I will order it all again soon. The cocktail list is so awesome, I had nigori sake but look forward to going back for a round of drinks as well. Umami is on a much higher tier than the previous tenants here and all of the locals need to give this place a try. I’m really happy with the refresh inside and upscale vibe, a great addition to the north end. Gary and the other servers were very informative, polite, and prompt.

This place was a wonderful surprise in Boston. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, especially when it came to their extensive sake selection. The sushi was fresh and high quality, and the cooked dishes did not disappoint—chicken karaage, edamame, roasted corn, and gyoza were all flavorful and perfectly prepared. Definitely worth a visit.

The food can be a bit pricey, but it's the best sushi I've ever had. The employees were incredibly friendly and I definitely plan on going back the next time I'm in Boston. Highly recommend the chef's choice nigiri if you want a taste of everything they can offer, and I also thought the Toro Uni bite was fantastic.

Stopped in for dinner and was met with great hospitality. The dishes were presented beautifully and I enjoyed how each dish was described to me before I ate. There are both omakase service and à la carte sushi/nigiri/sashimi, so it’s perfect if you’re looking for variety. The staff also accommodated my gluten and dairy dietary restrictions, including providing gluten-free soy sauce :)
