Stopped in for lunch on a Friday and was hoping for better results. The staff was very helpful and attentive. The decor was fresh and clean and the ambiance was fresh. I ordered the 2 roll lunch special and was hoping for some good tuna rolls. The miso soup and ginger dressing on the salad was well above average. Then the rolls came. The spicy tuna roll had so many flakes on it I could barely find the roll but the tuna has a good heat to it. The tuna crunch roll was good but the tuna didn't taste the freshest. Maybe it was just the piece I got but as someone who's main protein is tuna, this was a bummer. Overall, I would recommend giving this place a try as the food is good and the staff were helpful. read more

Went back for dinner and the smell was still there but we think it is the kitchen and the sushi bar. Floor wasn't sticky. Thank goodness. We each got a roll. Salmon Tempura which tasted good but we thought it would be crunchier. Double Dragon roll that was very good. As usual. Trinity roll was the highlight. Bright and fresh flavor with a hint of lemon. The service is always good here. The hostess helps out the servers. Still bummed they don't have the same mussels app anymore. read more

I am back to update my review of the Umami. I had reached out privately to the restaurant and then followed up with my Yelp review. The owner, Chris C, reached out to me multiple times to make up for my bad experience. I want to make sure that folks that try out Umami know that the owner is conscientious about making sure that you have a great experience at the restaurant. I travel a lot for work and I don't often check my personal email, but I did find out that he eventually gave me a full refund for my meal. It wasn't expected and it did definitely go a long way in making me feel better about the customer service. I think that on any given night any given, RestAurant can have a bad night or have a slip up. Everyone there was having a great time and enjoying their food. I say give them a chance. I'm not from the area so I can't go back any time soon. I suggest you go give them a try and then give them a great write up if you feel like you had a great experience! Chris C... thank you for the follow up! Wishing you much success! read more

I ordered the bento with bulgogi beef, and overall it was a perfect lunch combo. The bento came with ginger salad, miso soup, fried gyoza, California roll, and white rice--everything you want in a well-rounded lunch, and the portion size was huge. For the protein, I chose the bulgogi beef. The beef itself was very tender, served on a bed of onions, and carried nice notes of ginger and soy. It was a traditional sweet and savory. It was missing the spring onions and contained mushrooms. It was very delicious! The ginger salad was excellent--honestly one of the best ginger salads I've had. Bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The gyoza was decent and the sauce should have been on the side instead of them sitting in the sauce, but it did the job, though it didn't stand out as much as the salad. The miso soup was good as well. California roll was average. My wife ordered the two-roll lunch combo with crunchy tuna and spicy salmon. I tried both and really enjoyed them. The rolls had tons of texture and flavor that worked well together. I usually lean more toward sashimi or nigiri, but these rolls were well-executed and satisfying. The atmosphere was amazing, and the servers were kind and welcoming, which always elevates the experience. Overall, a great lunch spot with generous portions, strong flavors, and a welcoming vibe. We definitely need to try the read more

Umami Restaurant And Sushi Bar - Bento - beef bulgogi. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Classy. Artistic. Delicious! I had lunch with a friend and finally tried the new location of Umami on Eau Gallie. What a delight! The vibes are contemporary and traditional Japanese with a menu to drool over if you love sushi and bento boxes! I ordered the Miso soup and Boba Fett roll. Probably one of the best rolls I've ever had! It's a Volcano Roll to the max! The Bento Box was generous and fresh! Ordering the salmon medium rare is key to a great tender fish and their salad, gyoza and rice was the perfect accompaniment to this meal. Service was wonderful! I'm excited to have a date night next time and get more in depth with their stunning menu and offerings. Welcome to the Beachside, Umami! We are so happy to have you. read more

Really lovely atmosphere and open floor concept. Nice place to have a quiet date, I think. Was disappointed in the sushi for the most part though the presentation was beautiful. The "crunchy " rolls really took it too far and were EXTREMELY deep fried. Very small pieces of tuna in sushi, and the one roll I had featured way too much cream cheese that took over the whole taste. Lacking in affordable lunch options. I may try a bento box if I return. read more

Update: We've visited between locations since the opening of the new beachside location. Usually we enjoy our visits greatly, but we seemed to notice a change in quality during this visit to Umami beachside. We ordered several pieces of Sashimi, Uni, the Kalbi Appetizer, and Pan-Fried Gyoza. In short, it seemed as though the food was less flavorful than usual and the cuts of Sashimi were done somewhat carelessly (not even thickness throughout, a veil of sinew(?) on the salmon that made it more difficult to chew. The Uni, per my husband, "didn't feel fresh". The ambiance for a Friday early evening was somewhat busy, but no wait. Our server Marie was attentive and friendly. She checked in on us often and offered some witty conversation. This location might be better suited for the tourists, but for locals looking for Quality sushi maybe we should consider other options. read more

We are so happy to have Umami beachside! Loved the west Mel location but always a hike, so when this one opened, we were stoked! The space is much brighter than the west Mel location, which is a plus (I always had trouble seeing in the other location, it's so dark!). The tables are well spaced, but If you don't have perfect posture, don't ask to sit in the booth/bench side (pretty uncomfy/stiff). The food is just as great as west Mel, we love the spicy tuna crispy rice so much and always order it. Other faves include the Buri Buri good roll, the new englander, the trinity and the Boba fett. Their California rolls are different than the standard - just a note if that's something you (or your little ones) are fans of. If you like amaebi (sweet shrimp with the fried head) they have it, you just have to ask for the head . For hot foods, the yakisoba is good as are the Gyoza. Service is hit or miss depending on when you go/who is working, but they are still so new, I'm sure they're still figuring it out. They also offer takeout, which we utilize more often (and helps avoid having to sit in the booth benches!) Note that they are closed on Sunday, so if you want umami then you'll have to go over the bridge to the original location. See you there! read more

This place is LEGIT! Always outstanding service and the sushi is on point. This is a once a week place for me and I haven't been let down ever. Thanks so much for years of great quality! Perfect ambiance for a date night too. read more

I ordered the Sashimi Moriawase with Ikura and Uni. Hubby got Wafu Strip Steak. The food was good, but I don't think it was worth the price we paid. I'm impressed with the server's knowledge of the food. The vibe was upbeat. I would like to try the other location to compare. read more

We've always enjoyed Umami in the past at the beachside location. The food was always great and sushi very fresh. Not sure what happened today but our takeout order with sushi sashimi dinner and chirashi was not very good. A lot of the fish didn't taste fresh and has a weird smelly taste to it. I hope it was just a one off incident. read more

Service is friendly without being over bearing. We shared the Distinguished Gentleman roll, which was delicious with streak and shrimp. Hubby had Bulgogi which was tender and flavorful. I had the Millennial roll. Very good. Portions are generous. Nice but not fancy inside. You could bring kids. read more

Beautiful restaurant with minimal modern vibe! On vacation and was craving sushi and we were not disappointed at all! This is gourmet sushi that looks like art and tastes just as incredible! We ordered four rolls and had to order one more because we loved everything we tried! Highly highly recommend you try this establishment. Only downfall is no cocktails, but there is wine and sake. The service was great also, waitress was helpful and attentive. read more

Outstanding food for a very responsible price, the wait staff was very nice and the restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere

Excellent food and very good selection. Service was top notch and a great attitude! Nice atmosphere as well. I would have given it 5 stars but the prices are not on point for this beachside area nor Melbourne. Probably won't be a frequent customer due to that reason. read more

Food was great. Not for a cheap date. But well worth the money. I had the fresh special nigiri, and the gentleman roll may have been the best tasting specialty roll I've ever had. read more

Best sushi in the county, hands down. They usually have blue fin as well. Don't skip the Indian Harbour Beach location if you are beachside.

Visited Umami (beachside) with my wife and had a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the Double Spicy Tuna roll, as well as the Buri Buri Good roll. In addition, we added 2pcs of Toro and 2pcs of Uni. Everything was sensational. Service was quick, friendly and easy. An added bonus was meeting Quincy and having a wonderful conversation. Highly recommend this special spot. read more

Went there for dinner last week. We were told they had problems with their AC. Didnt tell us their sushi was also affected by AC problem. The sushi tasted fishy and as if it sat in room temperature for a while before serving. For the price, this was subpar quality sushi. Tuna tataki appetizer was awful tasting and we returned that and received credit. Servers were wonderful and thats the only reason for 3 stars. read more

THE BEST FOOD EVER I loved it so much I've been here so many time and it never disappoints
