| - I FINALLY made it down to Umami, and after eating there... DO NOT WAIT. It's super delicious and absolutely worth the price.
We went with some friends and ordered a ton of food while sitting at the bar.
Pros: The pork AND vegetable Gyoza was bomb-diggity bomb.
The edamame was prepared perfectly and just the right amount of salt as well.
My cocktail (7-night stay - Wray & Nephew Jamaican white rum, Kai lychee vodka, coconut lemongrass nigori, lychee calpico, lime) was absolutely gorgeous, edible flower anyone?, and tasted divine.
We got the spicy scallop hand roll, spicy tuna hand roll, and some octopus.
Friends ordered the fried/crispy chicken which I tasted and LOVED.
The service was awesome, the girl at the bar slinging our drinks was pleasant and sweet. She was helpful and seemed to genuinely enjoy what she was doing.
Cons:
Seating is slim! So keep that in mind, it's not a great place for a large group of people but definitely great for a date.
The Miso soup is sweet, I mean candy sweet. I didn't think it was bad but our friends did not love it. It vaguely tasted like pineapple(?) if that makes sense. It was definitely heavier on the sweet than savory side. The waitress took it off my friends bill, and said she hadn't tasted it today but that it normally skews a little sweet. So take that as you will.
I'd definitely go back here and actually look forward to it!
