I have NEVER been so excited to write a review in my entire life! OK so it was like 8:15 pm and I decided I had to have this sushi burrito thing that I saw on the TikTok. That's right the TikTok... I'm not embarrassed to say it. Order it through GrubHub and I had like 10 minutes left to get my order in. I'm not really wanting to order things online because it's just expensive. Sorry GrubHub. Anyways... My food arrived by the door. Picture... Me running to my bedroom with my bag of goodies. I was skeptical, of course. Who's ever had sushi burrito before in Idaho?! I took one bite...ONE BITE...I instantly fell in love with whomever made it. It's the California roll and I asked for extra cream cheese, daikon and lemon. My taste buds are still dancing and won't shut up about it! ! An explosion of flavors that I haven't had in any sushi place here in Boise! I'm not kidding not one bit. I also ordered the edamame and wontons which were both good...I think...ummmm my brain keeps going back to that burrito. So it's a gigantic sushi adventure filled to the rim with what you ordered, unlike a regular normal tiny itsy bitsy roll. Are you picturing this?? Can you feel and taste the happiness? No? You better hurry up and go there. I mean...HURRY UP LIKE NOW! You don't want to take the risk that I ordered a few more from them and they ran out! THANKS GUYS! Can't wait to come in to visit you and order in person! Absolutely fantastic. Order how I ordered it....SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! Ok bye. read more

When I "treat myself"....Umai is always my choice. They don't skimp on toppings, and their sauces are *chefs kiss*. Yesterday I got a poke bowl from a different chain because they had a coupon and it was NOWHERE near as good! The only negative thing I can even possibly think of is the front door is heavy...but I just consider it my workout for the day ;) read more

Food is incredibly fresh, great quality and delicious! Excellent customer service as well!

Small sized restaurant next to Boise Fry Company on Overland. Eight tables plus outdoor seating, sparse decor but comfy. Ordering is done at the counter. It has quite an extensive menu with apps, teriyaki, soups, poke bowls and of course, burritos. Seagull did a quality job explaining things to us. I got the Shrimp Lover Burrito, which has plenty of spicy crab, boiled and Tempura shrimp, avocado, cream cheese and spicy mayo wrapped up in nori. Really a very good meal! We will be back. read more

Service was good. The poke' appeared fresh but was not necessarily as fresh tasting and the veggie selection was really good. The sauce was a little strange and it seemed like a hodgepodge of various cultural sauces. The noodles were the best dish I tried and it was stir fried well with lots of veggies. Huge portion and it can feed 2 or more. The veggie ramen was ok and it tasted out of a box. I think someone wrote the food tasted like it was out of a mall. I would agree. Quality was pretty sub par, and presentation was really nice and the ambiance cozy. I think that this restaurant has potential. If some of the ingredients were upgraded it would easily make a difference. I live in Seattle and there is lots of poke' and chains like Sam Choy. I would suggest marinating the poke first to give it a nice flavor profile. Just some thoughts. Thank you! read more

We ordered online and paid. I took a photo of our order number and showed it to the cashier when I arrived. They had no record of our order, as it just never came through. I was charged as I was able to pull my bank account open and see the charge. I showed this to the staff the only thing I could do was order again and dispute the frist charge with my bank. I am now on the phone with the bank waiting 30 minutes so far to get the charge reversed. We like the food clearly it's yummy, but do not recommend ordering online. The staff has no way to look up your order if it just doesn't go through to them and you still get charged. Just a warning. read more

I'd say this is no more than mall quality food. We got the Katsu platter and Teriyaki burrito. We wouldn't bother coming back. The music holds the record for the worst restaurant music. The restaurant has a dirty feel to it. The wall next to our table has old dried splattered food on it. It's like nothing here is ever deep cleaned. read more

Umai Sushi Burrito - Dirty wall with old food on it. You can't even see the worst of it. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Unfortunately this restaurant gets overlooked in the strip center it is in. Signage is very lame and lackluster and it lends itself only to sushi. The inside is nice, but there is no real vibe to the place. The employees seem young and dumb, with no hope of elevating anyone's experience here. The menu is vague, my friend ordered a "burrito" and it was wrapped in seaweed. I get how that relates to the type of food, but maybe should be notated somewhere. The in-store menu on the wall does not align with printed menu. This is not a difficult thing to fix, but they haven't aligned. Huge pet peeve...the napkins! The cheapest, non absorbing napkins one could order. The soup container is so hard to open, you feel like you will splatter it everywhere. No joke. They offer water, but with no ice, and the cups are stained. I think the food and prices are decent, but so many other things are so cheaply noted, I don't see this being a go to place for many. I give them less than 5 years, and for that, I'm sorry. Way too many other places... read more

we have tried all the poke bowls in the Boise area, this is by far the best ! They put plenty of toppings and protein without skimping the serving but the price is well worth it. Also had the beef Noodle Soup which was EXCELLENT ! read more

Great quality and choice of fish with super friendly staff. Really is a local hidden gem.

Presentation of food was beautiful and the service was good. Can't comment on the food though. Very bummed out because aside from finding a hair in the rice the restaurant had the A/C barely on. It was SO hot inside. Made me question how fresh anything fish related could stay with it being so hot. read more

Good fast food made to order, sushi burritos are tasty! Good variety of menu items and friendly service at the counter.

Wonderful place I came here fist back in 6th grade cause I knew one of the owners kids it was wonderful I love family owned restaurants in bigger cities they just make me so happy and the food is nothing short of amazing I got a spice crab burrito and it was great but come on an empty stomach cause these things are huge and stuffed with food great service and great vibes one of the best family owned restaurants in the more suburban area of the Boise/Meridian area read more

The food at Umai was very good. Unique burrito options-both cooked and raw. The food was fresh and well prepared. The fellow who helped us kindly explained the menu items and our options. read more

Holy cow! Talk about a bowl bursting with flavor! I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Since I've never been here before, the young lady behind the counter, Seagull, suggested I try the poke bowl. I asked her to make it the way that she would if it was for her. She asked if I had any allergies or if there was anything specific that I don't like. She started with a layer of white rice, then chunks of tuna and salmon. Next, mango, jalapeño, edamame, cucumber, ginger and onion. Topped with ground seaweed and sesame seeds. Finished off with spicy mayo sauce and one more sauce. This is a great little find with good food, excellent service and a cute atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

Umai Sushi Burrito - Poke bowl with everything! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Lots of options between sushi, burritos and bowls, everything is pretty good. The burritos work for a quick bite without being something you need to sit down to eat. read more

Ok, this is a bit like fast food sushi, being a little hole in the wall place that does sushi burritos, but I have to say they're pretty darn good...and very quick, so it's an easy pick up for lunch or dinner, and in that respect, I highly recommend them. On the other hand, I don't know much, if anything, about their sourcing or quality of ingredients. Their website is only for ordering. There is no information about the business itself, the food they serve, their history, or really anything about them at all, which is disappointing. I always like to know about the company, and the people behind the company, but more importantly, where the food comes from, and how it's grown and/or raised, or caught, etc. Lack of information causes me to only visit rarely vs. making it a favorite. read more

Came in to try it out before going to the movies. It was 103° outside and about 95° inside the restaurant dining room. A/C was barely on and it made it uncomfortable to eat in the dining room bc it was so hot. They also had no ice in the entire restaurant for the water. We ordered a miso soup, chicken teriyaki plate and a California (fried) burrito. The miso soup was pretty tasty. My first scoop of rice from the teriyaki chicken plate had a hair in it! Needless to say, we couldn't eat the rest of the food. I brought it up to their attention and they promptly refunded the chicken plate. read more

New FAVORITE spot! The sushirritos are huge and delicious! Definitely found or go to place! read more

I liked all my visits here. Sushi burritos are yummy and reasonably priced, going to try their poke sometime. The place is always clean. Staff are nice and food comes out fast. They don't have a good dining experience unfortunately. All the food comes in take-out containers. read more

Very good food. found a piece of hair at the end of my meal, could've been my hair or the cook. Recommend the sushi burritos. although the inside has a weird smell. The employees were very nice read more

So this a sushi burrito?! It's everything I hoped for! First time, obviously, and the Rainbow burrito crushed it. I love fish-dense/packed sushi, and this delivered. Another one of my main filters when eating it is "value," and this has got to be one of the best values in susah that I've ever had. Less than$15 for what amounts to about 2 rolls worth of salmon, tuna, and, albacore? YES PLEASE! I'll be back read more

Ordered the famous Boise sushi burrito. It was average; the flavors weren't very exciting, and I would have preferred more spice and a slightly larger size. At $14, it feels overpriced; it's more like a $10 sushi burrito. The server was very polite and kind. read more

Very good food, reasonable price. Service is fine, dining experience is below average with canned drinks and no plates or actual silverware.

Cozy, family-owned restaurant that serves DELICIOUS fresh fish in their poke bowls and sushi burritos! I love their customizable choices for poke bowls, and I love all the different options they offer for sushi burritos. Seagull, one of the servers, was SO beyond friendly & knowledgeable about the menu. So happy I tried this place & am looking forward to coming back more often. read more

Yummy! First time here and satisfied. Menu is clear and detailed which made my decision quick. Wait time not too long. Sushi Burrito not the size of a typical taqueria burrito but it was packed and rolled tightly. It was delicious and filling. Nice staff. Clean dining area. read more

Fish quality is elite and the rolls taste great, but burrito aspect of this is lacking. Sushi burritos I've had in other places are thick in size and have burrito like qualities. Unfortunately this was just a really tasty, uncut sushi roll. read more

Such a hidden gem!!! Absolutely our favorite spot for poke and ramen in the whole treasure valley. The ramen is amazing, they have the best miso and the freshest and best options for poke and sushi burritos! 10/10 every time we've gone, it never disappoints! read more

Where do I start???? This was AHHHMAZINGGG!! We don't get sushi a lot where I live (small town, need to travel) so when we get to the city, it is something we always crave. Today we decided to try one of those sushi burrito places. There menu had a lot of choices, plus you could get Poke Bowls and common Japanese Reataurant appetizers from Gyoza, and Edamame, to tempura and Teriyaki choices. I ordered the Poke Bomb. It contained tuna and salmon Poke, seaweed salad avocado, ginger, cucumber and more. My daughter ordered the Shrimp Lover with a side of Edamame. We received a very filling sushi roll for $12-14. Same price you would typically pay at a sushi restaurant. It only took a couple of minutes to receive our lunch, and it is rolled up in such a way that you could take and eat it on the run. The restauran was clean with several tables spread around the area. read more

This place is AMAZING. I'd actually say they have some of the best Asian food in Boise. I was unsure and avoided it for a while, thinking a "sushi burrito" sounded like a strange concept, but I seriously regret not going sooner. All of the food is great. We have some picky eaters in my family, but everyone loves it. Their service is good and they're quick to make your food, too. Very clean inside as well, which is comforting. I should have taken photos of the food, it was very well put together and nicely presented. Highly recommend! read more

OMG the bestest & yummiest place in Meridian. I LOVe LOVE the sushi burritos. Fresh, crunchy, filling & great price. Definitely my new go to sushi place. Staff super nice. Love the look & feel of shop. Don't wait - GO NOW and get sushi burrito!!! read more

Absolutely love this place. I'm a happy girl if I can eat here once a week. Fresh fish and interesting choices for burritos and bowls. Easy to order for pickup on their website. Thanks for all you do, UMAI! read more

This little hidden gem is a fun find...if you are in the area and in the mood for something different and you like good sushi. Although it is Hidden in a strip mall with terrible parking... it is worth the hassle. I would recommend either a call in or pick up order, as the seating is limited, and there is a lot of foot traffic ( a good sign )....however that does take away from the quaint ambiance. If you have never had a sushi burrito, and you like good sushi, this is a fun and perhaps a bit of a messy experience. P.S. It is a sushi roll that is giant and not sliced up... bon appetite read more

This place is soooo good! It was exactly what I had been craving. I got the chefs burrito and my son the red hawk. The avocado was fresh, the fish was fresh, and the service was good. We will definitely be back!!!! My son and I loved it!! It is a rice, and crabmeat type sushi burrito. I don't have a problem with that. If you want just fish, go to a sushi restaurant and order sashimi. Or get a poke bowl. Don't complain. Read reviews and look at photos. Everyone has their own preferences, I could tell by the photos I would love it. They did not disappoint! Thank you! No photo, it all looked too good to wait. read more
