My boyfriend & I had the best experience at Umamia yesterday. The rolls were phenomenal (shoutout to the griffin) & Pierre-Marc offered exceptional service! Can't wait to go back.

Jan'24: We tried this place for the first time & were impressed with the seafood quality for an affordable price. They certainly get a good provider for the tuna 💯 The sashimi pieces are thick & fresh. It's the first sushi place where I see more tuna than salmon is served in rolls. What I find not on point is the sushi sauce & soy sauce which is a bit salty to my taste. We got the platter for 4 & the price is amazingly good for this quality.
The place itself is spacious & has a zen decor, music is not loud. They don't have alcohol license so only mocktails available. Overall it was a nice experience & certainly a nice addition for the Griffintown area.
Apr'24: Food & quality are still great. There's now an outdoor terrace also. The only bemol is the service which is kinda slow & the waiters don't come by very often.
June'24: We're trying the terrace for the time & the seating was very comfortable. It has the Ibiza vibes with the sun & a nice background music. The service can't be better as they gave us free sashimi for bringing out the wrong item.
Aug'24: We had a wonderful dinner with friends who tried this place for the first time. The newly introduced BYOW makes this place even more attractive! The sushi/sashimi are amazing as usual. It took a bit of time to get the food but we quickly forgot about it once the food arrived & the alcohol kicked in.
Dec'24: We came back with some friends. Sushi quality is still good but price has increased a lot compared to beginning of the year. Platter Abundance is now $169 instead of $129!! The restaurant was full. We ordered extra sashimi on top of the platter, asking to have it come out first & they were not able to do it. The sashimi actually came after 😐, & the restaurant felt a bit cold as if it wasn't heated enough. We hope the restaurant will keep up with its reputation.
Sept'25: We've been few times since but this time we noticed a difference so thought of writing a comment. We usually order combos & this time the sashimi, nigiri, maki pieces... everything are smaller in size. I'm even shocked to see how tiny it is the uramaki. Seems like it's different chef doing & it's not as good. Quite disappointed!

C'était une très belle découverte, les entrées étaient très bonnes (mention spéciale pour la soupe miso légère & gourmande). Nous avons commandé 6 variétés de California roll, c'était un régal, j'ai beaucoup aimé le Griffintown California roll, on sentait la fraîcheur dans chaque bouchée.
La décoration est originale & soignée.
Je reviendrai très vite.

Really good flavors. The Miso soup itself is standing out. The torched rolls were great too

Service was wildly slow, & the restaurant wasn't even half full. The california rolls come with salmon which was unusual, & the rice felt so unseasoned & bland. The miso soup was ok, but the sliced leek in it was so big it was awkward to eat. All & all, an average sushi restaurant would've been better & more worth the money.

Umamia is hands-down one of the best sushi spots I've ever been to. The fish is incredibly fresh, & the rolls are crafted with care, offering a perfect balance of flavors. The presentation is stunning, & the atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, making it ideal for any occasion. I'll definitely be coming back for more! Thanks to Pierre-Marc for the excellent service!

Wow one of the best sushi restaurants in Montreal. This spot deserves to be on the « best sushi restaurants » list. Service is impeccable & you are treated so well (like kings & queens). Umamia serves premium sushis rolls & nigiris with incredible ingredients. The kitchen is in the dinning room so you see all the chefs in action & this is pretty to see. All the sushis were delicious (I recommend them all). I also tasted all the appetizers & they were all excellent. If I had to choose my top 3 : wasabi nori chips, lobster infused miso soup & gyozas.

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.

We ordered three rolls & it took 45 minutes to arrive even though the restaurant was at a third of full capacity. The quality was not better than a supermarket sushi & definitely not worth the price. However the staff was kind & apologized for the delay

Nice place but overpriced for the quality. The Japanese Salad was great but the tuna & salmon sashimi were essentially tasteless. Same for the rolls - you could only taste the sauce & avocado/other ingredients, not the salmon. Service was slow & distracted. Overall ok but there's a mismatch with pricing.
