Review Summary

Umamia is repeatedly described as a standout sushi spot with ultra-fresh fish, creative rolls, and meticulous preparation that impresses diners who value quality ingredients and elegant presentation. The atmosphere is warm, modern, and inviting, with a calm, refined vibe and a well chosen playlist. Service is generally attentive and friendly, with helpful recommendations, though a few reviews mention slower pacing or occasional inconsistencies. The BYOW concept is a major plus for many, often paired with thoughtful corkage and glassware, while a small number note hidden charges or misalignment with expectations. Dishes such as sashimi, nigiri, and signature rolls like Griffin and Tokyo uramaki are celebrated for balance and freshness, with some meals noting that portions feel modest for the price. Overall Umamia is seen as a premium yet accessible sushi experience, ideal for celebrations or casual dinners, and frequently recommended as one of the best sushi options in Montreal.

Avec ma conjointe nous sommes allé suivre le cours de confection de sushi le 22 février 2016 avec le chef Tam. Ce fut une très belle expérience. Les informations & techniques de travail des sushis étaient fort intéressantes. Je recommande cet atelier à celles & ceux qui souhaitent faire des sushis eux même à la maison. La fraîcheur des poissons utilisés était excellente. L'ambiance était conviviale.

Surcotée les sushi sont normaux pour un prix excessivement élevée pour aucune raison, le goût n'y est pas. J'ai pris pourtant le plateau a partager à 4 personnes ce n'étais pas du tout variée pratiquement la même chose à chaque bouchée une catastrophe.je ne reviendrais pas très déçu du service aussi & de la longue attente pour l'anniversaire à ma femme. Dommage

Visited on December 31, 2025 with my partner.
I never leave reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one - especially when comments are being deleted.
I had high expectations after seeing influencer videos & positive reviews, but reality was the complete opposite. Extremely slow service but food good.

Thankfully, the sushi partially saved the experience, but overall we were very disappointed.
After speaking with nearby tables, we learned that the quality & service have dropped significantly in recent months, apparently due to a new staff - & it clearly shows.
The servers showed no involvement & even seemed to be in conflict, which made the situation uncomfortable. Even the sushi chefs looked uneasy witnessing the chaos.
If you can't manage service properly, don't overbook & make customers wait endlessly. Reviews appear to be filtered & possibly misleading.

PLEASE DON'T DELETE MY REVIEW !

Great experience at Umamia. The sushi was fresh, well prepared, & thoughtfully presented. Flavors were balanced without being overcomplicated, which I appreciated. Service was attentive & professional. Portions aren't huge, but the quality clearly justifies it. I would happily return.

Mon conjoint & moi avons été ravis de cette découverte! Ce sont les sushis les plus délicieux & généreux que nous avons mangés depuis longtemps. Les sashimis que nous avons pris en trio étaient d'une belle épaisseur, & très joliment présentés. Puis les rouleaux que nous avons mangés étaient si frais, & très savoureux. Finalement nous avons eu un service empressé de Manou qui était vraiment gentil & chaleureux. Bref, nous reviendrons c'est certain! & 5$ pour un frais de bouchon? C'est une excellente affaire pour savourer un saké ou un vin de son choix.
