I have no words to describe how amazing this experience was. By far, one of the best sushis I've ever had. The place is very warm, clean & well decorated. People are friendly & caring. Food is just incredibly tasty & worth of a multi starred chef's restaurant. I will definitely go back again & again. If you have a fine taste of elegantly presented meals & very like Japanese/Asian cuisine, going to UMAMIA is a must.

Had the chef platter for 4. We were warned about the expected 45 mins by our waiter Pierre-Marc so knew what to expect. From the salmon tartare we knew to expect the unexpected. Well worth the wait & price. Service alone made it a 10/10 recommend.

I had an amazing experience at Umamia! The food was outstanding from start to finish, with each dish-from appetizers to desserts-showcasing incredible flavors. It's rare to find a restaurant that pushes the envelope with innovative sushi recipes, but Umamia truly delivers on this front. The server & chef were extremely friendly, & the chef took the time to explain each dish in detail. I highly recommend trying their signature Montreal Roll-it's a standout. The prices are also reasonable, & the location is conveniently situated. Overall, Umamia is a must-visit for anyone looking for exceptional sushi & a memorable dining experience.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Umamia, & I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm & inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a perfect evening. Service: The service was outstanding, thanks to our server, Pierre-Marc. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable about the menu. He went above & beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Sushi Preparation: One of the highlights of our visit was watching Chef Fanny work her magic. We could see her from our table prepare all of our sushis, showcasing her incredible skills & artistry. As she crafted each roll, she took the time to explain every ingredient & the inspiration behind each creation. Her passion for sushi was evident, & it truly enhanced our dining experience. Food Quality: The sushis themselves were a masterpiece. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, & perfectly balanced. The variety of rolls offered a delightful mix of textures & tastes that kept our taste buds dancing with joy. It's clear that Chef Fanny outdid herself, & each piece was a testament to her culinary expertise.

Repas excellent (mention spéciale pour la soupe miso & l urumaki Tokyo), service impeccable (respect de nos contrainteshoraires). Sachant que le restaurant est récent, si je devais donner des petits points d'optimisation qui n'ont en rien entachés notre expérience : cuire le riz entre 30 sec & 1 min de plus, bien former les chef sushi pour qu'il ne laisse pas de partie nerveuse dans le poisson, sashimi avec moins d'épaisseur. Nous reviendrons assurément, & recommandons ce lieu à tous les amateur de bon restaurant Japonais.

After spending 500 bucks in less than a month, I was told they didn't do take away on the chefs special which makes no sense when you can order it on Uber eats. She went ahead & cancelled my order when I was going to spend over 120 dollars plus tip. If the owner wishes I am willing to meet in person & discuss this further but definitely if that employee stays I will never go again as she is very disrespectful & rude. Absolutely horrible service.
