10/10Beautiful family run restaurant frequented by plenty of locals. We couldn’t fault the service and it was some of the best sushi we’ve ever eaten - fresh, tasty and immaculately presented - and incredibly well priced. Do yourself a favour and go here…I guarantee you’ll want to return! Sadly we only discovered it on our last night in Loulé, otherwise we’d be booking again. The couple who own it are lovely and he prepares the food in the open kitchen and you can tell the fish is of the highest quality.

9/10Hidden gem although the actual restaurant could be a bit “nicer”. Although quality of food more than makes up for it

7/10We had the Degustação dinner menu which was an excellent way to try dishes other than those with a lot of rice. Sadly the atmosphere was lacking because the restaurant was empty. We would definitely go again.

6.5/10The sushi is very good and fresh! However, the restaurant is freezing because the manager refuses to turn on the heater, which is disappointing. As a result, instead of enjoying a nice, comfortable meal and potentially ordering more, you just want to finish quickly and leave. We didn’t even order dessert because we were too cold. I visited this restaurant twice, once for lunch and once for dinner, and both experiences were the same. It’s a shame because the sushi is excellent, but the atmosphere is very poor.

9.5/10The food was excellent. The fact that you have access only online is a bit annoying. If you are not familiar with the many different Japanese expressions it would be helpful to have better images of the food... But what counts in the end is the quality of the food which was excellent!

10/10We have dined at Umai several times since they opened. The fish is always super fresh and the talent of Vitor and his staff is authentic Japanese. Try the Umai Experience for 2. - 45 pieces of love in your mouth. Highly recommend. Obrigado Vitor.

9.5/10Nice little restaurant. Tables are quite close to each other but the amosphere is quiet (although I was not there in peak hour). The quality of food is awesome. One of the best Miso soup ever tasted. Also special rolls are excellent and some of them really not common elsewhere, with the right mix of sweet and savoury. I've enjoyed the experience. It's definitely worth going back.
