Umai, a sushi and raw bar restaurant featuring both Japanese and Thai cuisine is bringing a fresh new option to diners on the popular Beverly Road strip in Mt. Lebanon. Located across from the newly-opened Block 292, Umai is quickly winning over locals happy to discover yet another new dining alternative on the block.Umai has many options, from raw bar oysters and sashimi to classic Phad Thai, curries and Japanese Teriyakis—even bowls of ramen. But it’s the restaurant’s inventive sushi menu which goes beyond the typical spicy tuna roll that is a real attention-grabber. Fresh hamachi carpaccio with olive tapenade artfully plated on shiso leaves with thai chilis and miso vinaigrette is a real standout. The green curry bowl hits that wonderful flavor balance that lies at the heart of Thai cooking: hot, salty, sour and sweet. The coconut delivers a punch of sweet flavor on top of the delicious spiciness. Additionally, Umai offers a selection of fresh fish for sale with market prices posted daily. They also cook and prepare whole fish (in Bangkok or Tokyo style) for dine-in and take-home orders.
