Umai Umai

The Best Restaurants In Fairmount

"Umai Umai is a great choice when you’re interested in a menu that’s 90% seafood, or want creative rolls that aren’t deep-fried or covered in aioli. The Japanese restaurant’s menu includes things you’d expect, like spring rolls and crispy rice balls. But there are some culinary tourists on the menu, like seafood paella, scallop carpaccio, and pad Thai that are just as tasty as the standards. If you’re here for the sushi, go for the Eternal Sunshine with cucumber, avocado, salmon, and apricot-miso sauce. Space here is tight so it’s hard to get in (your best bet is on a weekday), but once you get into your rolls, you won’t really care about a wait." - candis mclean
