Best Sushi Restaurants in Belmont

This was my second time at this omakase and it was just as amazing as the first! Loved introducing my friends to the varieties of toppings/fish served and watching them fall in love with it just as I did. Because there was a cancellation, we ended up having the place to ourselves. The chef was very knowledgeable and easy to chat with. He made this an amazing experience. Will definitely be back again! Thank you very much!!

This is such a lovely, delicious, friendly, authentic-meets-innovative, cozy, and service-oriented omakase spot. We enjoyed 18 courses over 2 hours on a Friday night, including their elevated sake pairing. Each course was explained in detail (including the origin of the fish), artfully prepared, and mouthwateringly good! The service was excellent - they kept the food coming at a regular pace but without making us feel rushed. They were so helpful with recommendations on sake and very patient and friendly as we shared stories from our visits to Japan. (Insert eye-roll here!) Besides the excellent overall quality of the food and service, what we appreciated so much was the fact that Umami Omakase accommodated (and on short notice) one of our party who is a vegetarian and has a couple of food allergies. I don't know if there's another omakase place in Boston that will do so - - some of the other new "hot spots" will not account for allergies or substitutions and tell vegetarians not to bother making reservations. At Umami Omakase, our vegetarian enjoyed both variations from the regular menu as well as unique dishes. Tempura, noodles, vegetables, soups, oh my! The chef and waitresses were so kind - continually checking to make sure all was okay and offering to replace any dish that wasn't a hit. (Note: They were all amazing.) If there was any complaint, it was that there was too much food! We ended the evening with a mango mousse that struck the perfect balance of tart & sweet, fruit & creamy. We sat at a regular table (really nice) but might try the sushi bar next time - that group looked like they were having a great time! Easy street parking on Mass Ave in Cambridge. Delicious, authentic food with a twist. Top-notch service that puts the customer first. There's a reason Umami Omakase is so highly rated and is one of the more established omakase spots in Greater Boston!

Grilled salmon was fresh and delicious- curried veggies, and street corn were also tasty. We liked the thick cod loins as well - and whipped potatoes were perfect. A fellow who brought us the food carefully described what he was bringing us, and gave the right food to the right person who ordered it. Our waitress was attentive and very efficient. We always have a good experience at Legal. We'll be back soon!

I’ve come here for my Christmas Eve Eve celebration for the last 4 years. This is the first time I had a different server and the first time there were only a handful of people. One thing I noticed was 2 servers helping everyone which is great for the team work, but confusing when you are waiting for service. Our server finally came after she greeted and got water for the table that was seated 5 minutes after us and she was distracted while doing so as we saw her stop at other tables and do a few other things before actually getting the water for our table. We were unable to order the Christmas drinks but she was not sure what ingredient they didn’t have to make it. We settled on a Christmas drink and then moved on to our usual drink choice. Food always awesome, service was just ok, but we will always come back!!!

Everything was good, it was a nice place to meet for lunch.
