ABSOLUMENT! UNE PLACE À ESSAYER! Service très rapide avec le sourire & des suggestions excellentes! Les sushis sont délicieux, goûteux & savoureux! Un resto accueillant avec une superbe ambiance!
Je crois que c'était le sushi le plus excellent de ma vie, Personnel agréable & très sympathique, le poisson était à ravir Pierre Marc, Fanny & Sophie était à l'écoute de nos envies, J'ai vraiment apprécier le moment, je reviendrais c'est devenu mon 5à7 préféré.
Amazing experience! The sushis are so flavourful & fresh.The platters are super interesting because you get a variety of combinaisons with differents flavor profiles. It's also super affordable for the quality being really high!! Really good service as well & bring your own wine, with options of interesting mocktails!
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.
Amazing restaurant!!! Super friendly staff & quick service. High grade sushi & you can bring your own bottle! The fresh fish is to die for😍 Highly recommend!!!💯

Enfin un restaurant de sushis digne de ce nom dans Griffentown. En plus c'est un resto apportez votre vin alors aucune raison de ne pas y aller. Aussi, peu importe ce que vous prendrez vous aimerez. Si vous hésitez essayez la soupe miso infusée au homard, un délice. Les sashimis fondent dans la bouche & les Tokyo ou le Lox sont delicieux.
The sushi was excellent, but unfortunately, the shrimp nigiri had an off smell, so we couldn't eat it. On a positive note, the service & atmosphere were both exceptional.
Amazing service. The staff was super professional, the food was fresh & incredibly tasty(best sushi I've had) & the music was excellent. Thank you Umamia, I will be back.
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.
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!
Amazing restaurant, came with my family & it was probably the best sushi restaurant in Montreal we've ever tried. Great atmosphere & top-notch service from the servers. We highly recommend this restaurant:)

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 essayé plusieurs restaurants sushi à Montréal & je peux vous assurer que cette place est à un autre niveau en termes de qualité. Wow! Bravo au personnel & au chef
