Reviews for Umami Sushi & Grill in Matthews, NC

My husband and I love Umami! We’ve been a couple of times now and it became a fast favorite. The staff is my favorite part... (the are ALL so friendly, even the chefs greet and say goodbye with genuine smiles). We’ve had the same waitress twice as welland she is very sweet and attentive. Their sushi is also fantastic with a great selection. I love the roll that has mango slicesin it, and my husband loves the Buffalo chicken roll. We could go many times though and always have something new. They alsodecorate the plates really nicely and it’s so fun to see what they choose each time. Seems like the employees are genuinelyhappy to be there based on the atmosphere. Highly recommend! Read more

Very good sushi! Very slow service but I’m not docking a star! Friendly staff. Rationally priced!

They were able to accommodate our large group. Items came out a bit staggered but that was okay. Some items were better than... others. Sushi was good. Ramen bowl was 2 out of 5. But bento box was good. 3.5 to 4 overall. Read more

Very cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Soup and salad was just okay. Can’t say I was all that impressed with either the... hibachi or sushi. It’s not bad but didn’t wow me either. The music is a nice touch and reminded me of the stuff they play atmassage parlors. Didn’t really care to hear the same song for the entire hour we were there though. Read more

Every single thing we got at Umami was delicious, and we got a lot of items. Tempura jalapeños were amazing and not too spicy.... Gyoza was great, and so were the 8 different sushi rolls we ordered. We split the tempura ice cream between 3 people, and it wasgreat, too. It was a little too hot in the restaurant for my liking, but the food was so good I didn't even care. Read more

Took my wife for lunch. We were nicely greeted. The food is very good. Ordered the hibachi chicken, beef and shrimp. Waitresses... were very attentive. Will be going back and highly recommend. Read more

I've driven by this inconspicuous place so many times but after reading the reviews decided to give it a try. The prettiest... presentation I've ever seen! Food was great. Must give it a try! And they have a drive-thru! Read more

I don't always get to give 5 stars, but the presentation was just as good as the food. The sushi deluxe was amazing! All food... was very fresh. Read more
