Customers were disappointed when Umai announced its closure on Facebook today. In the post, the Japanese restaurant’s staff said: “Dear Edinburgh, come 2025, we will be closing our doors for the last and final time.
“We wanted to share our gratitude to everyone who enjoyed a visit with us and showed their support in our venture. It’s been our pleasure! Wishing everyone a safe and happy new year. Thank you and farewell.”
Responding to the post, one customer said: “You're closing? Nooooo, your sushi was phenomenal and such great prices, I'm devastated.”
Another said: “This has been our favourite sushi place ever. So sorry to hear this.”

While, another gutted customer added: “Actually devastated. Best sushi place I've ever been to.”
Another said: “This is so sad. My other half and i come to your restaurant every year as an anniversary treat to ourselves. We will sorely miss the sushi and the atmosphere.”
No reason was given for the sudden closure of the Darly Road restaurant, with a staff member revealing that another restaurant will take over the unit in the coming months.
