Umami Japanese Restaurant

This is a delivery order. We had the Mongolian Beef Lunch, Stir Fry lunch, and Tonkatsu bento box lunch. The lunch specials are good deal they come with a choice of rice and choice of soup or salad. The portions are huge and worth it for the price. All were good, hot and delicious.

The experience was excellent, the food was very good. The fried rice is spectacular and the sushi not to mention, the Rangoon crabs are very tasty. The place is cozy, clean, just highlight the attention of the waitress, an American lady who was not very nice.

The very first time I visited this restaurant, I didn’t like sushi at all! But then, when I tried their dynamite & dragon roll it was so unexpected, creamy, saucy, dreamy, crunchy It was everything for me. Even though I am a touris, me and my family ALWAYS go there on the 1st or 2nd day And then again on the last day. The service is super fast, the people are very nice It is a whole experience going to umami I will never stop telling people about this hidden gem!! Ps. I don’t really have a good picture of the food because come on, if you’re already getting a watering mouth you can understand

All I need to say is look at my photo and what came out on my plate. No manager even came by to apologize or anything. The waitress actually asked if I wanted anything else to eat…NO?! Location is probably infested with roaches and we don’t even know.

Awesome Japanese Restaurant with Awesome sushi and great sake. Well recommended. Excellent food and service.

I’ll start with the service score. First of all my actual server was amazing!! 5⭐️!! The whole score should have been a 5 star had it not been my interaction with the "manager " at the front desk. I stopped to voice my opinion of automatically adding gratuity to the check. I have never nor will ever approve of this practice ever! Do not tell me how much I’m going to tip! It is my choice and mine alone and is based on the service I have been provided. Had he acknowledged how I felt versus being snide about "that’s just the way it is " it also might have rated better. So I left probably one of the best meals and service from the server that I’ve had in a while, ruined by a simple interaction. (Probably need a little self reflection to work on how people get under my skin 😂)

There’s a lot of typing and deleting for this review which made me realize what my experience was truly like. This restaurant is located in a very central area with a lot of restaurants and shops near by. Umami has been around for a while and it is uncertain for me to say if it is amazing or if it is slowly crumbling down. Therefore, I’ll just stick to my experience. The food (sushi and fried rice) were pretty amazing the day we went. There were many options on the menu that looked and sounded good. Upon arriving, we were greeted and seated immediately (evening,during the week). The place has a pretty cool look to it but it’s evident that it could use up keeping. The food was delicious and we found the rolls to be a really big, good portion! Tired of little sushi platters that leave you hungry in other places! The fried rice was hot and fresh and very tasty. We really enjoyed the food but the look and feel of the place may not be one for a date night. For us, it may be a spot to come by with a group of family, friends or co workers. (Lots of seating) I would like to go one more time to solidify my standing on the experience but if this can help anyone anyhow, here it is.
