Umami

Best place for late lunch & dinner in the area. This place has no competition. We ordered sushi, rolls, ramen, seafood fries, mixed sashimi salad, matcha & strawberry ice cream for dessert and everything was sooo nice. Their side & dessert is a must! I have very high standards when it comes to ramen, and Umami’s ramen was so decent. They make their own soup base and the chashu was as great as the ones I had in Japan. All the rolls had dynamic flavors. Fried Oysters just melted in my mouth. The open kitchen seemed very clean, and the servers were so kind. Loved the anime figures and drawings, too! 10 out of 10 defo recommend!!

We decided to try umami's ramen and it did not disappoint. Their sushi has always been great as well! I think the highlight of or stop was their tea, at first we decided not to get any but after having it we have gotten their tea over 3 times in the last week. It is small and quiet and the food comes out quick you should definitely give this place a try. It is also close to base. The only downfall is they open at 3. We will be eating here again!

umami is seriously one of my favorite spots! the vibe is super welcoming, and the staff are all so friendly from the moment you walk in. you can just tell they genuinely care about making sure you have a great experience. the food is amazing — especially the noodles. they’re always cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. you can really taste the quality in every bite. it’s one of those meals where you’re already planning your next visit before you even leave. and i have to shout out our server, ari — she is absolutely incredible. she takes such great care of us every time we come in. she’s so sweet, attentive, and just overall amazing at what she does. she makes sure everything is perfect and always does it with the best attitude. if you haven’t been to umami yet, you’re missing out. g

There were three in our dining party. In terms of overall stars, our ratings were 3, 3.5 and 4. The vegan in the party was concerned there would be no appropriate dishes, but much to his surprise, really enjoyed the miso soup, edamame and the amazing tofu salad. The other two felt their food was ok (beef curry and tempura). The place was packed so they are doing something right. There were still people coming in 15 minutes before closing. Our table was close to the bathroom and we could occasionally smell it. Other than that, the atmosphere was ok. Service was good but it would be nice if our server introduced herself. Bottom line question is would we go back…one vote for yes, two for no.

Food was delicious. Nice, attentive service. Cute decor throughout. Snug little place! Glad to have found a place that serves katsu curry nearby so had to try that, along with the volcano roll. Fish was nice and fresh... Nice to see they had a legit sushi chef making the rolls. Yum!
