If I could give them 10 stars I would. This is a long overdue review. We’ve been for the 16 course omakase two times and both times were fantastic. The first time was with chef Evan and he did an amazing job at unusual pairings that compliment each other very well, the second was with Kai who higlights the flavor and texture of the fish with subtle enhancements. The fish melts in your mouth. Both times were a culinary journey. We have been to many other omakase experiences and this is hands down the most traditional. The fish and flavors change with the seasons and the courses change from seating to seating. We had a couple start their dinner after us and their dishes were completely different from ours. Truly an amazing experience. The stuff is also extremely kind and accommodating. Our second visit Candy recognized us right away and welcomed us back. That’s so hard to find. I can’t say enough good things. This was my dads first omakase experience and now this is the only place he wants to go to for dinner (not complaining). Truly a hidden gem.

We had a great lunch here; definitely one of our favorite Westchester sushi spots. Dropped by on a random weekday for lunch. The place seemed to be doing mostly lunch orders so we were the only ones there in person. They gave us a free appetizer (freshly torched fish which was delicious) and we ordered a variety of rolls which were all amazing.

The staff is incredibly sweet and accommodating. I went as a party of 4 for an Omakase dinner. We were blown away by our talented sushi chef. I tried many new things during our 13 peice meal. We will definitely be returning soon, and I highly recommend it.

10/10!!!!!! Amazing experience, l've had a good share of Omakase and the Omakase here was so unique but done so well and fresh. Kai, our chef was so welcoming and so great to talk to about the courses and each piece! Also you MUST GET the Yuzu cheesecake. Thank you for such a great experience

My husband and I recently had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the 16-course omakase at Umami Sushi Ardsley, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we sat down, we were immersed in an evening of culinary artistry, led by the incredibly talented Chef Kai. Though the dinner was presented in a group setting, Chef Kai managed to make it feel intimate, romantic, and deeply personal. He masterfully balanced the atmosphere. He was engaging with the group while still making each couple feel individually seen and celebrated. It felt like a private date night wrapped inside a communal experience. Every course was a work of art! The food was fresh, inventive, and expertly prepared. The progression of flavors was thoughtful and elegant, each bite somehow topping the last. From buttery toro to melt-in-your-mouth uni, and beautifully torched wagyu, the meal showcased not only premium ingredients but also Chef Kai’s passion and precision. What stood out even more than the extraordinary sushi was the warmth and authenticity of the experience. Chef Kai’s attention to detail, storytelling through his dishes, and genuine hospitality transformed this dinner into a memory we’ll talk about for years. Umami Sushi Ardsley is a hidden gem, and this omakase is an absolute must for anyone who loves sushi, fine dining, or simply wants to treat themselves to something truly special. We’ll be back very soon! Definitely telling all our friends about it!

I have been dining and ordering takeout from here for several years as it is on my way home from work. The sushi rolls have always been incredibly fresh and delicious. The rice to fish ratio is always just right as they are not stingy with the amount of fish and the fish is equally distributed throughout the whole roll. I decided to stop by and visit the restaurant after the renovation. The fresh and modern makeover looks great! What a fabulous place for a date night. I will be coming back to dine in.

This place is the best. I left a review on yelp and I had to circle back and leave a second great review, I mean… I don’t know where to start The omekase was out of this world, better than 90% of New York City offerings. I can still remember the taste 2 months later. The special effort and attention put into the food shines through at every level — including the non omekase fare, which is set at a seriously generous price. The quality of the food is immaculate. They have a different approach to food than other sushi restaurants, it shows. The unique use of subtle garnishes creates a really unique and memorable palate that stays with you. I don’t spend much time in this area but this restaurant lives rent free in my head. General EXCELLENCE extends beyond the fantastic menu - the staff is attentive and kind at a level most people will never experience. It shows. Just go here - it’s worth it. Best meal of my life. This restaurant loves food. Go here
