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.

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.

Wonderful night! Service was great & food was delicious. There were different options, we had almost all the different sushi & we liked all of them (mostly the Tokyo). Highly recommend!

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.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment chez Umamia hier soir pour notre anniversaire de mariage. La soupe miso infusée au homard canadien était absolument délicieuse, tandis que les sushis étaient de belle qualité, très bien exécutés avec du poisson tout ce qu'il y a de plus frais. Le service était impeccable, avec des serveurs aux petits soins. Nous avions une contrainte de temps, que nous leur avons soumise, & ils se sont pliés en quatre pour la respecter. Nous ne pouvions pas être plus satisfaits de notre repas ! Merci, nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir & vous recommanderons vivement auprès de nos amis.

J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de déguster un poke bowl au saumon mi-cuit dans ce restaurant en plein centre de Montréal, & ce fut une véritable explosion de saveurs en bouche ! Les ingrédients étaient frais, ce qui a vraiment rehaussé l'expérience culinaire. Le personnel est très sympa, & accueillant, Je recommande vivement cette adresse à tous les amateurs de cuisine japonaise :)
