    Umai is serving gorgeous Japanese food. On top of everything being beautifully presented it was equally delicious! I would definitely stop here for sushi and Japanese food again.

    We ordered this for delivery through Uber eats on a Sunday around 5 pm. The order ended up coming about 10 minutes early which was a nice surprise. We ordered the fried tofu appetizer & it was light & crisp. We ordered the pineapple fried rice & the chicken fried rice. Both tasted like typical Japanese fried rice. Tasty & a nice portion! We got a few sushi rolls they were all delicious. The food came and it was still warm. It was fresh & flavorful.

    Teriyaki Bento Box Lunch Special - Chicken

    Clean, spacious and on pointe with umami flavors! The staff is super friendly from the hostess to our waiter, who checked on us often. They have a nice selection of lunch specials which was perfect for our lunchtime visit. My husband enjoyed the Teriyaki Chicken bento lunch box and my Chirashi lunch box was a delicious assortment of fresh fish over rice. Ample portions even for lunch! We will definitely return and try their many other options of tempura, katsu, noodles, and rice dishes along with a large assortment of specialty and standard rolls. We definitely recommend this place!

    Mmmmm!

    Excellent! No complaints here. Cooked to perfection. Plenty of space for large groups.

    One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in St. Augustine. It is located near my friends' home and they love how it is never crowded. They took me out here in the past. The sushi rolls are tasty and filling. Prices are good. Service is great too. Definitely a go to place when I visit and move back to St. Augustine, Florida.

    Finally got my sushi after 30 mins. Everyone at my table had already finished. Spicy tuna roll tasted off.

    Loved this place! This was our first time there. The decor vibe was perfect. It was a place I…read morewould love to hang out. The food was delicious. We had a small group so we ordered a bunch of appetizers. The reason I took a star off the rating was for service. It was disappointing because every single employee we encountered was not overly friendly. This includes hostess, bartender and waitress. It was odd. Such a cute place but we felt like the staff was just blah. No personality, not helpful, nothing. Not interactive or engaging. Maybe it was an off night for everyone. I will give it another chance.

    This place was AWESOME. If you're in town - you have to come here! We got a recommendation to come…read morehere from someone at Boat Drinks (another bar/restaurant in town) and I am so glad we did! Walking in, I loved the vibes! It gave modern tiki bar feeling, it was clean and felt very warm and inviting. We sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender and a very extensive and beautiful leather bound menu! I loved that haha! They had everything from classic tiki drinks, to modern, to drinks by liquor type, etc. It had the food menu, some information about the bar and how it came about. We ordered a few drinks: Bushido Rhapsody (DELICIOUS), Stars & Sarsaparilla (husband liked it) and their currently rotating tiki drink - Escape from Black Mountain, which serves 2 and is served in a cool mug of the bust of Pedro Menendez. You can purchase it as well! It was so good and felt never ending between the 2 of us drinking it. For food we ordered a couple of apps - Cajun Chicken Eggrolls and the Montenegro Meatballs. Both were fantastic!! If we didn't already have dinner plans, we would have stayed here for dinner! Definitely will be coming back here next time we are in town and every time after that!
