Really. Really. Really confused about the photos posted and whether or not they are staged and friends/family. Service was excellent but the sushi was Whole Foods quality, nothing had much flavor nor looked like any of the photos posted. The rice wasn't even tasty and heavy on the serving. Seriously super confused. Thought I had struck a gold mine when I saw the reviews and photos, but was catfished. read more

Excellent food, clean, great service and nice ambiance. A good choice of menu, drinks, and mochi for dessert to cap off the dinner. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Sushi not half bad. Tried it just because we were in the neighborhood and hungry. A decent sushi/sashimi plate.

Eaten a lot here, and unfortunately gotten half defrosted sashimi on more then one occasion. Other then that if have no issue with this place. Use to be sushi man the best sushi restaurant ever. There are about 5 spots outside that are not handicapped the rest of the parking is in a lower lot behind the building it is meteredand parking. Their lunch specials are great, I do enjoy the beef teriyaki bento box. They are closed Tuesday's. They accept credit or cash. Food service is always quick and they have friendly staff. They have a sushi bar you can sit at, tables or booth seating. read more

For a highly rated sushi place I was disappointed omakasa 16 course meal was under pare for $150 a pop I don't mind paying but every plate was over salted except the sushi in which was room temp innever write reviews but this place had to get my input Chef de Cusine Koko read more

Downgrading it to 3 stars. Unfortunately, I don't know why, they keep preparing rolls now with fatty tuna. It's now even the sushi (not rolls) that are served with fatty tuna. I've asked several times for regular, non-fatty tuna, and i still get it. I mean we've had so many in-person talks with their delivery guy. If you like fatty tuna (pink), great. Otherwise, don't expect the regular tuna chunks in the rolls. This place thinks they're doing something right with this tuna, and it's possible it's better, but i don't like it & I've made that clear with them! I'm sad things have changed here over the last 3-4 weeks. We won't be ordering anymore for a while. See attached image- of pink tuna. (Ordered no rice on these rolls). Those will be going in the garbage. The sushi pieces on the right, my husband is tolerating but as I finish this, the remaining 3 will also be going in the garbage (husband says he actually likes the fatty tuna flavor but can't have more than one since it's fatty). read more

My boyfriend and I come here every week it's so good!! We crave their sushi 24/7. Definitely recommend!!

The food was a here is my favorite in ardsley. The service is incredible and the workers here are very friendly. The decoration fits perfectly. Usually quiet and the music fits very well and is relaxing. I 100% recommended this place. read more

My sister and her family frequent this place quite often. We went one night while I was there. I ordered the spider roll and a Boston roll. I also ordered the house salad simply because of the dressing. Yum! The rolls were freshly prepared behind whet I sat. They brought my niece her food first so she was happy. Our rolls came out shortly after. They were delicious. No other way to explain it. It was good sushi. I will visit again when I am in town. read more

This place is better than 95% of Manhattan sushi places. Very fresh tasting sashimi. Big thick cut generous pieces. I call it Taiwanese style sashimi. better than the stingy parsimonious Japanese style. As fresh but with a welcome sense of humor and generosity of spirit. Highly recommend. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, just like I rarely leave sushi on my plate. But my husband I ordered takeout sushi tonight from here and it was subpar. We ordered the sashimi deluxe and the fish was not fresh. Neither of us wanted to eat it. We left more than half of it. We took 1 bite of the Tuna and couldn't stomach the fishy taste. The rock shrimp appetizer was terrible. The rolls we ordered were ok. read more

I visited my girlfriends family and spent two weeks here at Ardsley, NY. I was craving Sushi since I'm a big sushi lover and luckily found Umami Sushi near the neighborhood I stayed at. After trying out their Shrimp Tempura Roll & Salmon Avocado Roll, I wasted no time in writing this review and would give them 6 stars out of 5 if it was possible! Great service and overall a great restaurant with a variety of food on the menu! read more

A gem in Westchester where Omakase is available and can be enjoyed. Highly recommended. Chef's service was very good and not rushed.

Decent sushi for Ardsley. Pretty fresh fish. Lost stars for putting shellfish in a roll that on the menu didn't have shellfish ... Edit: saw other pictures of the same roll from Yelp and it clearly had shellfish there -- not a one-time mistake. I miss Sushi Man (which used to be located here) read more

Unami has been our go to sushi place for take out during Covid 19 , we have "eaten-in " many times prior to this . The staff is welcoming, sushi fresh and well presented and their cost is reasonable. We have not had any cooked food here only sushi . Soup is delicious , love their ginger salad dressing too . Take out from here now , help keep them in business . read more

It's decent sushi. Something about it though seems a bit rushed... the craftsmanship is off a little. Everything was fresh and delivery was super fast. read more

Umami is one of our favorite sushi restaurants in Greenburgh. They have really fresh tasting sushi, tasty appetizers, and inventive rolls. The quick, reliable, & friendly service is also a plus. We recommend the Scallion Pancakes, which is a favorite appetizer, and the Chef's Choice Special Rolls are awesome (try the Godzilla, Ardsley, Jenny, & Rock and Roll!). Collin, Umami's owner, goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome at his family-run business. When we were planning our daughter's birthday party we asked Collin to come to our house and teach everyone how to make their own sushi rolls. He didn't hesitate and agreed on the spot. He provided all the ingredients and sushi making materials (wrap, mats, gloves). The kids & adults had a great time learning something new. Umami made the party! We're happy they are part of the Ardsley community. read more

Local Ardsley sushi. I have been here a few times and unfortunately not a fan. There are other local places where i find the sushi to be fresher and tastier. The owner and staff are very nice but the food is average at best. read more

This was so pleasant , the atmosphere allowed for a conversation. If you are looking for a place to have a great lunch and not be rushed out the door this is your spot. Small on the outside and great and huge inside. Come by the service is too notch read more

Fantastic sushi made with skill and care. Traditional rice has the correct seasoning and texture. The cuts of fresh fish are outstanding. The spicy tuna and salmon rolls seem to be made in-house rather than the bulk product that other restaurants use. I really think this family does sushi right. Thank you. read more

This was an amazing pickup experience especially compared to certain other restaurants in the area. Our food was ready and waiting when we arrived yet managed to stay fresh and hot through the drive home until we ate it. The staff were also very nice during our brief interaction! read more

We order from here regularly. Always prompt and fresh. We love the sushi for two platter the chef doesn't disappoint.

Delicious sushi for a great price. Around town, you end up either spending $$$$$ or getting very low-quality. Umami sushi hits that perfect spot of being a great price for great taste. Try their sushi platters if you are doing takeout or delivery! read more

I love the food great service and you can smell the scent of the mouth-watering food wafting from the kitchen. this is the best food i have had in my life. read more

My wife and I had dinner here tonight as a couple. The kids were out and we decided on sushi. We sat at the sushi bar and I told the sushi chef to "feed me". I don't think he was accustomed to receiving this request, but he DELIVERED! We started with a citrus salmon sushi plate, followed by an avocado bowl stuffed with crayfish. The salmon was light and refreshing with a thin slice of jalapeno, which added a spicy zing to the sweet orange sauce. The avocado/crayfish salad sat on a cream and soy sauce bedding - another unique and interesting appetizer. The main course was a huge sashimi and sushi platter that was enough for a party of six. The fish was very fresh and expertly served and included a roll of unknown origin - crispy outside with a traditional center. The service was exceptional and after dinner I suggested that they create a tasting menu that included small plates rather than the overly large sashimi and sushi platter and they completely understood and agreed. I would high recommend Umami Sushi for any lover of fresh sushi as well as traditional Japanese cuisine - my wife's teriyaki steak (filet mignon) was cooked perfectly and the meat was moist, properly flavored and cooked medium (pink). The prices are fair and as I said, the service was tremendous. read more

I always order for delivery or pick up. Chicken teriyaki, sweet potato roll, California roll, yellowtail roll and Philadelphia roll is what we usually order and all is very good. Fast delivery 20 or 30 min usually and good price read more

Mediocre at best. I went with my dad on a Friday night. We got the tuna and salmon tartare to start. Nowhere in the description did it say it was going to contain a ton of tempura flakes.... Ew. It was made in the kitchen, not even at the sushi bar. Fish was not diced, tasted more like a purée. Ugh. We shared the sushi and sashimi combo for our dinner. The tuna roll was good, but how do you mess that up? The sashimi was terrible. Texture of the fish was mushy and probably was a result of being frozen and thawed. I know they say even Nobu does that but the texture of the fish was really mushy here. Had we been hungrier, probably would've gotten a special roll... Their descriptions sounded appetizing at least. Chinese-owned sushi place... Usually an indication of the quality. MUCH prefer Sazan for more authentic sushi. read more

4.5 stars. The staff are beyond friendly especially the owners. I have been here at least 5 times and plan on increasing that number. The owners seem to know everyone that walks into their restaurant and makes an effort to start a conversation with you, which I love. I always order their chirashi which is always fresh. My boyfriend likes to order their special rolls that never fall short. Their presentation is wonderful as well. It's not over the top but you can tell that they put care into their food. Their sushi lunch specials are a great deal. My mother tends to order the sashimi lunch and it comes with many pieces including soup/salad for only $13. This is my new go to sushi place. Highly Recommend. read more

Delicious food and exceptional service. I have been a regular here for over 2 years now and I can say that this is one of the best less expensive sushi restaurants in lower Westchester. I come here every week for their two roll lunch special (available for take out) and it is always nothing less than outstanding. This cozy restaurant is small but very well kept offering Asian fusion dishes and modern decor. The owners are always friendly and welcoming. I love this place for dates or a night out with the girls. They can get pretty busy on Friday and Saturday nights so I would recommend placing an order for pick up or delivery if you want to eat right away. read more

I don't know how anyone could say something bad about this place. First of all, it's reasonably priced. 2 dollars for miso soup? I think yes! The place is very trendy, and I comment on the really cool lighting every time I go to Umami. Unless you're going on a Friday night when you're likely to run into Ardsley preteens, the ambiance is generally very relaxing. Best of all, the food is always good. My friend, who loves food more than most, compares the sushi quality to Haiku's. However, Umami offers some of the best hibachi chicken I ever had, so I'd rather come here than anywhere else. Also, you can't beat how well you're treated here. The owner always greets you with a smile and a hello, and she tries to remember your names each time you come in. She's great, and I feel good about spending our money here. I'd go back again, of course, just as I have for the past six months. read more

Umami Sushi - Shrimp appetizer surrounded by a few excellent sushi rolls. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ardsley, New York

Went by myself on Thursday night (night the Yankees were swept by the tigers) and was the ONLY person in the place! A few people wandered in a bit later. I sat at the sushi bar and had excellent service, although I questioned my judgement in having sushi in a place with no other customers. I had an interesting roll with tempura eggplant on the bottom and a pile of salmon paste, covered in sauce. I do not enjoy mushy salmon. I like my salmon to resemble fish 'meat' in some manner instead of semi-solid. I did really enjoy my Kani salad though which had a smattering of tempura flakes on top and a nice spicy sauce. I would give this place a second chance as it seems very clean and the fish appears fresh. read more

Umami Sushi - the delicious Kani salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ardsley, New York

This place maybe small, but the sushi is fresh and the staff is super friendly. I went there once and when I returned back a few month later, the host/ owner remembered me and my husbands name. Monday nights they have two young boys playing live jazz. Nice touch. This is my new sushi place. Forget sushi Mikes where the owner screams everything that comes out of his mouth and you jump 50 feet every time he says something even though you are prepared for the yelling. SO UNPLEASANT!! And the sushi is not that that great. read more

Umami Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ardsley, New York

This Japanese restaurant has quickly become one of my favorites in the area. I don't remember how we found it exactly, but it was a great discovery. I think that we chose it originally because whatever review we read said that the chairs were especially comfortable. This turned out to be true, for the record. I've only been here two or three times, but after the first time I went the owner remembered myself and my friends. Recognition is always a great way to get on my good side, but the fact that the food here is great didn't hurt, either. I usually get one form of sushi roll or another and haven't been disappointed. The Umami roll is great, and I LOVE the Spicy Girl roll. I've tried a ton of their appetizers and have loved them all, too. The chicken gyoza is delicious and the tempura doesn't skimp on the veggies. Also - FRIED ICE CREAM! One of the few places that I've found that does this dish right. It only comes in vanilla though, which kind of sucks. If they added green tea fried ice cream to the menu, I might just edit this to give it five stars. They do have green tea mochi, though. Umami is kind of small, but it's never very crowded so I wouldn't say that getting a table would ever be a problem. The prices are reasonable, certainly not any more expensive than at similar places in the neighborhood. The staff is very attentive and accommodating, and as I said, the chairs are REALLY comfy. The rest of the atmosphere is nice, too - a little dark, a little trendy, and the tables aren't too crowded considering that the restaurant is on the narrow side. There's a big circular booth in the corner that I love sitting at because it allows me a view of the entire place so that I can spy on people's orders and get food envy. And trust me, you will too - the presentation of each meal isn't lacking, either. It's probably contributing to how I keep going back (and will continue to) again and again. read more

Great Japanese restaurant. Sushi is outstanding. Very nice staff. Inside and outside seating, conveniently located near the center of Ardsley. read more

Another restaurant that could be 3 1/2 stars if allowed by Yelp, so they are unfortunately stuck with 3, but you won't be disappointed, even though I am not a sushi expert. FSA please (Food, Service, Atmosphere) Food: a lot of rolls to choose from, and you order the sushi 2 pieces at a time. They had several creative specialty rolls, and overall I thought the sushi was fresh. One note - they do not serve dessert, but at least give you a sliced orange to cleanse the pallet. Service: the greeter is very forward-friendly and gets you seated right away. The sushi chefs do not mess around and get the food out fast. Even on a busy night we did not have to wait long for our meal. They also had a lot of take out customers coming thru as well. Atmosphere: Dark, modern, casual, trendy-ish is best way to describe. Typical size for a sushi restaurant. A bit on the loud side, but I did not mind. if you need a sushi fix, give this place a try. read more

Good sushi. Reasonable prices also liked the Katsu. And large portions. The Shumai is also superb.

I have ordered from Umami about a dozen times. The food is always fresh and hot. My favorites are salmon and chicken hibachi. Also the chicken fried rice is the best I've ever eaten. The food comes pretty quick and the customer service is always good. read more
