| - Even a 1-star rating is an overstatement given the fact that I threw up (literally, not metaphorically) after eating at Umami...
My bf and I went there on Saturday night. We ordered Takoyaki (octopus balls) to start with, which was pretty delicious. We then had a special roll with spicy tuna and eel, which was decent (albeit overpriced at $18), and a number of robatayaki (pork belly, chicken thigh, shrimp, chicken heart, mushroom, and eggplant).
The "highlight" of the night (which we sincerely thought would be the highlight) was a grilled whole fish (red snapper). It came out slightly burned and just wasn't that delicious. We didn't finish the entire dish since neither of us liked that dish much, and both of us started feeling nauseous immediately after eating it and especially after we left the restaurant. After I got home 20 minutes later, I literally threw up... My bf didn't throw up but he had to rest for 2 hours before he started to feel normal again.
We have no idea what could have caused the sickness; we both eat a lot of seafood on regular basis, raw or cooked. I also have a pretty strong stomach and the last time I threw up was years ago when I had food poisoning... Maybe this is a coincidence (I do hope that is the case), but we would NOT return to the restaurant again...
