Umai Signs Appear at Northwest Corner of Clark & Polk

A reader writes about a new restaurant coming to the Northwest corner of Clark and Polk:
Hi Sloopin, 
I don't know if this has been reported but a Japanese/sushi restaurant appears to be set to open at any moment on the northwest corner of Clark & Polk. I have attached a picture of the sign posted on the door. The shades remain drawn so it's tough to get a good picture of the establishment. 
Hopefully, you'll be able to update the business counter soon. 
I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the picture and good to see things are progressing at Umai.  Last we reported, a reader mentioned in the comment section that this was coming.

(Hat tip: MR!)

I was looking through the seams in the shades the other day. The restaurant looks really nice! From what I could see, it has a modern/vacation feel to it. The decor looked streamlined, but has a lot of natural elements and earth tones. It looks like the entrance is going to be on Polk, rather than Clark. Seems like a smart move because they have seating all along the Clark side of the restaurant, so it will help the restaurant look busy from the street. Hope it's good!

Ran into some folks walking out of the restaurant and they said they plan to open on Tues night.
