Excellent food. Service was quick and helpful. The food was very fresh. Would recommend the teriyaki as opposed to the take away boxes - better value and fresher food read more

Not one strand of hair found! But a minimum of two strands. Utterly disgusted! Unfortunately, I was way back inside my hotel room when I discovered them. I am not recommending this place as they do not follow sanitation protocols. I am truly disappointed in this experience as I was looking forward to this meal consisting of smoked salmon fried rice, shrimp fried rice with olive orange chicken. I paid $18 for a bowl of hair. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing! Great prices, too. I highly recommend!! Yuuummm!

Pretty good food, the problem is the cashier lady with the long orange hair and a pink Minecraft pin. She was eating with her gloves after serving us and constantly touched her hair. She was scratching her pants a lot too. Ambient overall is what you expect coming here. read more

The staff was super friendly! My partner and I both got a mix and match bowl that was worth the money! We both loved our food. I highly recommend the salmon fried rice! read more

Food was okay way overpriced. They also failed to make one of my orders and insisted I didn't pay.

Someone referred us to this place for small bites and We were looking forward to trying bunch of small bites after hearing great things. unfortunately when we got to this place they didn't have that many items, perhaps because of rush hour. We ended up getting fried shrimp which was delicious, the breading and the seasoning was on point. read more

Umai Sushi & Teriyaki - Umai Sushi & Teryaki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A friend and I were visiting Seattle when we stopped by pike place after starving from our 5 hour trip from Vancouver. After scanning pike place we had heard Seattle had good teriyaki spots so we decided to try this. There weren't any pictures of the meals, which I usually appreciate at cheap food spots. The server wasn't really willing to spend time to explain the difference between each order as well. There was also an extra 5% credit fee for purchases under $8 , so I made sure to go above it. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki ($11) with extra meat, which came with a salad and portion of rice on the side. The rice was depressingly plain and the salad had sad little stems of broccoli with a weakly flavored sauce. The chicken and teriyaki sauce was pretty good, but nothing that I couldn't find in a cheap grocery store teriyaki bottle. The food also came out pretty lukewarm. There were much more colorful and diverse options in pike place I could have and should have chosen from. I'd recommend avoiding this place until they step up their game and make less plain dishes read more

Umai Sushi & Teriyaki - Chicken Teriyaki ($11) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I came back to this place shortly after coming for the first time. This time, I ordered the same thing I did last time. I wanted a vegetarian sushi roll, which they have several of on their menu, and they said they were only selling what they had prepared in the counter display. It was lunch time on a Friday so I might have understood if there was a very long line but there wasn't anyone else there. I'm disappointed they weren't able to prepare one of their regular menu items. read more

Went consecutive days. Very fast service and delicious. Seafood udon was better than the chicken. Boba was also very good. read more

Looks like they changed owners. They microwave their foods and nothing tastes the same anymore. What a shame.

I have been craving teriyaki for weeks now and discovered this solid spot downtown. I stopped by for lunch and got my food pretty quickly! The lunch special chicken teriyaki is affordable and giant - that and a spicy salmon roll fed me twice! Plus, the chicken isn't dry and sad like some other spots that mass produce teriyaki. They salad dressing is very light. There weren't as many tourists in the part of the market (most of them are on the street!) so it wasn't as crowded as it usually gets - maybe an anomaly maybe not' They've got a lot of options for food, including a list of basic rolls they have prepped for a quick grab-and-go, and even have skewers. I'm definitely adding Umai to my list of regular lunch spots, and I feel good about supporting a family business! read more

I have gotten the bubble tea here before and thus far i have not been disappointed. my friend said that his taro was good and my avocado one was good too. the tapioca pearls were perfect in my opinion because they were very chewy and very sweet! i don't like too sweet so this was a subtle sweet for tapioca pearls. they're very fast at getting orders out, there were two other people in front and we didn't wait more than 5 minutes for our drinks. the workers are always so kind and i never have issues with the little old lady who i think owns the stand! read more

Excellent! Bento Box #2 with chicken teriyaki (tender, good sauce), California roll, fried shrimp, pot stickers (pan fried), rice and salad. All fresh, we'll prepared and cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back! read more

This place is so well priced. There's so much to see and do at Pike's Market that it's easy to get overwhelmed. After stopping to see the guys throwing the fish and grabbing a bag of lil' donuts we saw Umai right behind us. We were first drawn to the bubble tea. Have you ever heard of pineapple or taro flavors? It's $3.95, plus the boba or jellies come with it (NOT an additional $.50)-I love that!!! Although there's so much yummy seafood. We grabbed a teriyaki plate for a quick meal. It was both generous (salad, rice and meat) and delicious. Everything I like-rice sauce lots of meat We will definitely get a seafood dish next time we go to Pikes, which is in a couple days, but until then the bubble tea and teriyaki plate hit the spot! Everything was less than $15, what a deal! Please note this is no frills kind of place, seats for 4 people read more

Had a chicken teriyaki stick here. Quick grab and go spot in Pike's place Market. The chicken was ok, nothing special.

I wanted to like this place because who doesn't want to like the food they paid for? I got the unagi bento box. Which came with a maki/roll that had some unagi and was okay...it was a small roll too. It also included 3 pieces of fried shrimp that were okay. It also included a "salad" which I didn't get to after trying the main course. The main part was chicken teriyaki which was not good. The chicken was super dry and the rice was just sticky hard. I gave $20 including the tip which was a rip off. I think it was $15.50 before tax which seemed reasonable for a decent bento box. The lady working the cash register was pleasant. If you want teriyaki just about any other place in Seattle that I have tried has better teriyaki. If you want sushi I wouldn't recommend this place for sushi neither; the sushi here is better then the teriyaki. I gave this 2 stars because the sushi and shrimp were edible; the teriyaki is a one star. The service here is okay. The teriyaki was too horrible to justify giving this a 3 star rating. read more

Leaving Osaka, I had some voids within my stomach, so I swooped in here for a snack fix: Gyoza/Potstickers. It was nice how they didn't seemed fried, but steamed(?). She dropped them on the grill, squirted some water and trapped them with a round bowl. The result was pleasantly soft and chewy gyoza with a subtle browning. read more

One of the many places within Pike Place Market that you can get food, they are located right across the walkway from the famous mini donut stand that seems to have a never ending line of people. My favorite item to get here is the teriyaki chicken stick which is perfect for munching on while walking around checking out all the sights and sound of the market. I honestly have never tried anything else, but I do suspect their sushi is pretty good as there is always people waiting in line to order some while I am there. The employees are always friendly and do their best to get through the lines quickly. I have never had to wait very long for my order even when there's been a long line. I may have to try some of their other items since they do offer some pretty good daily specials on sushi and rice bowls. read more

Stopped for a quick lunch today. My son ordered three different meat skewers. He thought the meatball skewer was the best of the three. We shared the gyoza: good but nothing memorable. I had the fish cake udon. There was a lot of fish cake, far more than any other place I've had it. The udon noodles were the perfect amount of chewy. My only complaint is that the broth was so scalding hot that even after 30 minutes I couldn't eat it. Overall, we'd go back when we're at the market again. read more

I just needed a quick dinner, and this was the only place that was 1) open and 2) didn't have much of a line. Also, I couldn't eat donuts for dinner. Well...that's a lie. I could totally do that, but that's not the most nutritious dinner...and that's why I decided to try Umai Sushi, despite my fears. Any Japanese place that has "umai", "oishii", or "ninki" in it automatically makes me suspicious, because these could all be blatant lies. This place was all right. Nothing special. I got the chicken teriyaki and added a cup of miso soup so I would be over the $8 minimum for credit cards. I literally got a cup of soup, as in, it came in a coffee container. I thought she gave me coffee, but it was miso soup. There are few things as confusing as sipping a coffee cup but having miso soup instead. The teriyaki was pretty good. Fair amount of food for $8 - came with a pretty pain salad with miso dressing, a giant mountain of rice, and a decent amount of chicken. I wouldn't go back because it was just okay and it took a little while, but the lady was nice. read more

This review is only based from their chicken teriyaki. Never tried the other menus. Personally, I think their chicken teriyaki is really good. I've been here like 4 times... I also invited my friend here for lunch and he ordered chicken teriyaki (my recommendation) and he actually liked it. 1 order is actually good for 2.... for 6 bucks. Good deal. read more

Horrible customer service. Kicked me out of their little dining area even after my wife and I bought food from their place. Said I couldn't eat the doughnuts I bought at a different location while my wife ate her chicken teriyaki. There was no one in line or anyone else eating or using their spot at the time. My wife also said the chicken tasted dry. Can not recommend to anyone. read more

The home of one of the best weekday lunch specials in the Market. $6.50 for chicken teriyaki w/salad until 1:30 daily. The chicken is cooked properly and the portions are large, especially considering the price. As with any Pike eatery, expect a massive crowd milling about and navigating it will be the toughest part of your lunch endeavor. If you work in the area and are tired of your usual launch haunts, give Umai Sushi & Teriyaki a shot. read more

For $4 you can't really beat the bubble tea. We got the lychee bubble tea and we got a decently sized drink. My friend and I split it and it filled us up well. We didn't order any sushi but if you're looking for a quick drink to hold you for a few hours this is the place. read more

Horrible customer service. Ordered a boba drink and it tasted like pure powder and water that wasn't mixed well. Coming from California remakes of drinks for unsatisfied customers was a norm, but not here!!! They mocked my family and I and continued to make hasty remarks. No refund and no remake equals a waste of money! I definitely do not suggest coming here at all. I would rate this place zero stars if I could for bad customer service. Bring your money elsewhere, you've been warned. read more

I'm not sure which is worse this place or World Wrapps (http://www.yelp.com/biz/world-wrapps-seattle-10). Nothing here is ever good and it all looks like it has been sitting in its steam tray just a little too long. Don't go here please what ever you do stay away unless you want to feel sick for the rest of the afternoon. read more

Grabbed a small chicken teriyaki and some sushi for lunch. Friendly employees and everything tasted great. Perfect for a quick, cheap lunch.

Teriyaki: Teriyaki (kanji: ; hiragana: ) is a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which foods are **broiled or grilled** in a sweet soy sauce marinade (tare in Japanese). Based on this definition, Umai failed to serve me real chicken breast teriyaki, because there's no way what I got was broiled or grilled. It was most definitely BOILED chicken. Tough, not very flavorful, no grill marks. Should be tender. I've tried one other Teriyaki spot (that we call Scaryaki due to unclean restaurant...not sure the actual name of it), which I thought was awesome. However, I got regular Teriyaki there, vs. chicken breast Teriyaki at Umai. Jaw is a bit tired from chewing. Everything else seemed ok though. read more

Ordered the teriyaki chicken (with extra chicken) and it's some of the tastiest teriyaki chicken I've had in a long time (although that could be cause I'm from Montana where there isn't the best cultured food) The rice was cooked perfectly and it was just wonderful to eat. Would recommend anyone in pike place to stop by and pick up some of that chicken! read more

Looking for some food we could grab and go with to eat while walking to The Paramount to see Wicked. This place has meat skewers that you can mix and match. We got two karage and two orange chicken skewers. They reheat it on the grill so it's nice and hot. Best and fun meal to eat while walking through a cold and rainy night on the streets. read more

First bubble tea lmao but it's bomb.com I enjoyed the Bubble milk tea and even more the vanilla milk tea. The price was great considering the size of the cup. read more

This place is located in the popular tourist site, Pike Place in Seattle. We went here just to look around and got hungry. For a tourist food place, it doesn't stand out very much, the place is dirty and the equipment including the chairs were quite wobbly. Ordered some teriyaki and also some udon but it was very plain and small portioned while the pricing was not paired well with the amount of food we got. It made me think twice before letting my hunger decide where to eat. read more

Great food! The tofu was excellent and served with the best teriyaki sauce I have ever had. The beef was good and the vegetable yakisoba was the best I ever had. The location is great located near the entrance to pikes place. If you go here don't forget to order the bubble tea.(the best one is taro) read more

It's Seattle at Pikes Place. The food is terrific but don't go looking for a less than chaotic and frenzied atmosphere. If you close your eyes and tune out the grunge music you can imagine you are in japan. read more

This is my favorite Teriyaki place ever. Very tasty pork Teriyaki. Good price. There only like two cooks, so it takes a little bit to get your food when it get busy. Worth it though. read more

Grabbed a quick pre-made tuna avocado roll. It was fresh and pretty tasty but too little fish / too much rice. Also while it was 8 pieces, $6.95 still seemed too much, even for being in a bit tourist spot. read more

Ordered a spicy tuna roll, which is pretty standard. It wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst. Considering how busy Pike's Place was, this was super convenient and quick! They have some other types of street food I'd like to try another time. read more
