We’re excited (and honestly, a little humbled) to share that Sushi Umi has received Yelp’s “People Love Us on Yelp” recognition — the window cling that Yelp sends to businesses that qualify for the program.
For us, this isn’t just a sticker. It’s a reminder that the details matter — the temperature of the rice, the cut of the fish, the pacing of an omakase, and the quiet hospitality that makes guests feel taken care of.

What “People Love Us on Yelp” means
According to Yelp’s Business Help Center, the “People Love Us on Yelp” window clings are sent automatically twice a year to businesses that qualify for the program.
So when this arrives, it’s a real signal that guests have consistently been having memorable experiences, and taking the time to share them.
What guests often mention in their reviews
We read reviews carefully — not to chase perfection, but to stay honest about what we’re doing well and where we can refine.
Here are a few themes we see again and again:
Omakase that feels like incredible value Guests often call out our omakase as a standout for quality and price, including mentions of forward experiences.
The craft and comfort of the details From the tamago to the pacing of the meal, diners notice the little things (and we love that).
The kind of service that makes you relax Attentive, thoughtful service comes up frequently — the type that lets you fully focus on the food and the moment.
Two locations, one philosophy
If you’ve visited us in Markham, you already know the rhythm: intimate seating, focused craftsmanship, and a meal that’s meant to be experienced, not rushed.
And if you’ve been to our Toronto location, welcome, we’re grateful you’re helping shape what this second chapter becomes.
Here’s how we’re currently rated on Yelp:
Markham: 4.5 rating
Toronto: 4.7 rating
If you ever feel like sharing your experience on Yelp, it helps future guests discover us, and it helps our team keep improving.
And if you’ve left a review already: thank you for taking the time. Truly.
