What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Umai Sushikan is praised for its excellent value and high-quality sushi, with fluffy rice and fresh fish that impress many diners. The unique tatami seating on the second level adds to the authentic experience. While most reviews are positive, some note that the sushi can be average, and a rare mention of insects on the counter detracts from the otherwise positive dining experience.
"Lovely sushi. Rice is very well done and fluffy which is a great thing to go with all the fine fishes. Seating on level 2 is on tatami mats which is a nice touch too! Will definitely revisit this place!"
Dennis Wong
