My Umai Says...We're Open!

Umai Japanese Kitchen and Sushi from Polk
Last week we posted that signs were up at Umai Japanese Kitchen and Sushi (Northwest corner of Clark and Polk).  A reader commented that they heard that the restaurant was going to open on Tuesday (1/22).  Well we're not sure if that actually happened, but we can confirm that they are open.

We recently did a drive by and snapped a quick picture of the intimate space and hip decor.  It was also encouraging to see it packed.  If anyone has been there please let us know your thoughts.  We're excited to try it out soon.

Finally, for those who didn't understand our headline all we can say is we can't shake our old school hip-hop roots!  Every time we say "Umai" we naturally sing it to the tune of the 1999 Mos Def classic "Umi Says"...don't you?!?!?:
