The sushi was delicious. No complaints about that. We ordered a few martinis we asked for the ice pear and lychee martini they were out of both. Ok that's fine we went with the orange crush martini it was good. Only thing is was.. where's the rest of it ..the cups weren't even half full. The fried rice was delicious it's definitely a plate you can share with someone else. The Osaka happy hour you can also definitely share with others it's like big fish bowl drink

We came for lunch on a Saturday with the family and it was just us. The service was incredible, super fast and friendly! We were all able to get soup or salad even though we only had one hibachi meal which was a really great surprise. My dragon roll was delicious! We came to celebrate my aunts birthday and when they heard, they brought out a lovely cake with candles! It was so adorable, highly recommend! Super clean, super fun, and super fast.

Great option to get sushi in Grayslake, about the only option in fact. It's hidden away in this shopping plaza. Umai previously occupied another space in this plaza, but the new location is a lot better and more spacious. Has a good amount of menu choices. There's more than just sushi, like the stuff they cook on a hibachi. At lunch it wasn't busy. It only had a few others eating inside. They had an all you can eat sushi special. Kind of pricy but worth it if eating it all. We instead only got a few rolls. It's about $5 for the cheapest. The ones we got included the Avocado Roll and the Oshinko Roll. Also there's a complimentary soup and salad bar. This makes it place a pretty good value for getting all this. For this area it's about the only option for sushi. so they won't have to worry about competition. It's not just the sushi but also the other Japanese cuisine that makes it one of the best around here. The sushi rolls have the raw fish options, as well as things for vegetarians.

I and my husband have been twice so far. First time, during the soft opening then about a week later. They have the same basic setup as the previous restaurant in this space had. But have brighter lighting which really helps. They chose to use the large grill to serve hibachi which works really well. Both times I and my husband chose to get hibachi entrees. My husband really liked the chicken and salmon. I opted for salmon and shrimp. The hibachi is served with yum yum type of sauce. The second time I went I got some of the ginger sauce from the salad bar and used it as well. The meat is well seasoned and the fried rice is good. The salmon is particularly good. Though I do admit I miss having golden shrimp as an option. We also got the Beef Negimaki appetizer and it was easy for him to pick out the negi (onion) from it. I highly recommend getting this. Very delicious. Only glitches we have had was during their soft opening they were slammed and our meal took a very long time. The second time the hibachi chef didn't leave out the onion in my husband's food and the waiter felt he had to justify himself for showing my husband he had written it down. I have yet to have the sushi but based on the rolls passing by our tables I'll be ordering some nigiri next time.

Food was delicious! The salad bar was really limited and some things were out. The chicken katsu was pricey for what it was as well. The ramen was delicious, my daughter really enjoyed her noodles, and I loved the chirashi. Very fresh and good selection. The roll was also really good. We will be back!

First we park and at the door and there is an open sign above door that says open but this door is for employees ONLY!!! Why have a neon illuminated signed for an entrance that customers CAN'T use???? That was the initial impression but we gave this place a chance anyway and I'm sorry to say that we should've just took that a sign and left.Then once my party of six gets into the restaurant it's dark and gloomy as the ambiance to say the least. It's my birthday today, kids started spring break and it's snowing outside so we said why not go to a local restaurant for lunch? Our ONLY MISTAKE was choosing this place. I asked for a drink and was told drinks were not available. We walked right past a bar with drinks and on our menu has drinks so why are there no drinks???? I didn't bother entertaining why there were drinks I just had a beer and some water. We order appetizers, sushi, ramen, fried rice and hibachi; the food was okay nothing spectacular at all. It The Gyoza was the best thing they had going for them. The hibachi was for chicken and shrimp but because the order was for two proteins(chicken/shrimp) the lunch special was not honored, not to mention the portions were so small it looked like a meal for a child, so once we were told it was the dinner price(when we got the bill and asked) because lunch only has one protein. We ask how many shrimp come with lunch and we're told two(2). This place is a joke. The whole time while there the waitress was saying she's so tired and it obvious that something is wrong but what is wrong is unclear. Towards the end of our meal the waitress puts on a mask. We are like wow if she knew she was sick, not feeling well or whatever why not stay home from work, why not put on a mask or do something. Now not only was our meals and service subpar we may even get sick from this visit. Totally NOT worth the time, energy, money or experience.

Had Umai for the first time tonight. Ordered through Grub Hub.. the service was fast and the sushi is delicious. The Godzilla roll was amazing and I would definitely order it again! The crab rangoon wasn't the best i've ever had in my entire life... but it was still pretty good!
