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.

Had the most absolute delightful dining experience at Umamia! The food was incredible! Sushi so fresh it melted in your mouth! The service was even better - big shout out to Pierre Mark for making our evening extra special. Love that we can bring our own wine but that there were cocktails & tequila shots readily available! ;) We will definitely be going back & I've been recommending this to everyone I know!

Umamia Sushi, newly opened in Griffintown, is already making waves with its fresh & flavorful offerings. The sushi is beautifully crafted, with each bite showcasing the quality of the ingredients. The ambiance is very welcoming, perfect for a casual night out or a special occasion. The standout for me was the Uramaki Griffin! Umamia Sushi is definitely worth a visit!

The sushi ingredients are of the best quality. It's really fresh & has good-sized portions. The flavour combinations are interesting. I would come back to try other items on the menu. What makes the food interesting is the many flavour details in the same piece, which can make the service slow during rush hour. This is an impression because we went in an empty time.

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.
