Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Umami Omakase is a must-visit for sushi enthusiasts in Boston. With a "truly exceptional" omakase experience, Chef Gary and his team deliver "unbelievably authentic" flavors. Guests rave about the "amazing" 18-course menu and "fantastic" sake pairings. While the ambiance can be lively, the "best sushi in Boston" makes it worthwhile.

    Food was ok, but I expected so much more. Flavors were plain. Service was good.

    I think the overall experience would have been different and better had we been seated at the bar.

    INCREDIBLE food, truly an amazing experience and wonderful staff that love explaining what they do. The chefs have an extreme attention to detail and you can see them working on perfecting each dish as it comes out, always correcting and discussing amongst themselves. A wonderful experience.

    Incredible omakase experience! Great for a birthday celebration as there are usually a few others there for the same reason and they make a fun time out of it!

    Excellent experience again. Nice to see the dishes change a decent amount since last time. The only suggestion I have is not to overdo the toppings...e.g. sometimes there was too much scallions which overpowered the taste of the fish. Loved all the yuzu usage.

    What a great dining experience. We had the 18-course menu and each piece was delicious. The sake pairings added to the flavors. The staff was friendly and provided a fantastic experience. It was 2+ hours of yummy dishes! It's a bit expensive but well worth it!
