Littéralement le meilleur sushi que j'aie jamais goûté ! Des saveurs incroyables, une texture parfaite & un vrai travail de finesse. Mention spéciale à la soupe miso au délicat goût de homard : une vraie découverte. Les desserts, quant à eux, sont aussi beaux que savoureux. Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle, un vrai 10/10 !

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!

On a participé à un super Atelier Sushi avec la Chef Fanny ! On apprend autant la technique (riz, découpe, roulage) que la culture japonaise. Expérience très Hands on & on repart avec un plateau de sushis maison ensuite!

Une expérience inoubliable ! Une soirée parfaite entre amis, dans un cadre magnifique, avec une cuisine ouverte qui met en valeur le talent des chefs, & une cheffe exceptionnelle, Fanny ! Pierre-Marc, le manager, nous a accueillis chaleureusement, & son équipe a été aux petits soins tout au long de la soirée. La fraîcheur des sushis était incroyable ! Ce restaurant BYOW à Griffintown est un véritable coup de coeur. Excellente qualité, service impeccable & une ambiance musicale avec de la house qui crée une atmosphère géniale. N'hésitez pas à demander les recommandations de Pierre-Marc pour le menu, vous ne serez vraiment pas déçu !

UMAMIA is truly a hidden gem in Montreal! I'm not usually used to the bring-your-own-wine concept, but the quality of the food completely blew me away. From the wasabi chips & the fresh salmon tartare to the wide variety of sushi - including the hamachi, eel maki, & the signature Griffin & Tokyo uramaki - everything was exceptional. Thanks the team !

The manager, Pierre-Marc, gives excellent recommendations & delivers a 5-star service that makes you feel right at home. The décor is modern, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the playlist is simply perfect for a great night out. Highly recommended!
