I think Umai is awesome! I go about every two weeks and am always pleased with the food and the service. I agree that the entrees are not a highlight, but I haven’t ordered one since first visit. The sushi is the main attraction here, as are the inventive appetizers.

Absolutely love the place and eat there often. Although I do feel that he’s a little overpriced, to say the least. I’m OK with higher priced specialty rolls (which are outrageous), but $8 for s spicy tuna roll? I little obnoxious……

seems like a classic two bell review is a-coming:
“With little notice over the past few years, chef-owner Alex McCoy has built a devout following for his intimate sushi bistro in Fairmount – and for good reason. He’s one of the most creative fish-slingers in town, with inventive signature rolls and often exotic, high-quality ingredients that are worth the trip. The personable servers can also be impressive, but a serious drop-off with the cooked menu holds this gem shy of its potential.”
