We have visited Umami a few times now. On our first visit, we fell in love! We couldn't wait to go back. We have tried a variety of items on their menu, and have enjoyed everything.
We recently visited with some friends who had never been there before. We were excited to have them try everything! We made a late reservation at 9:30, but got there early to have some drinks. They had a drink special going: a light beer and sake shot for $5. Without a table or a seat at the bar, our group was definitely in the way and had to constantly move so people could get by. There isn't room for standing at all.
Once at our table, we ordered a the sashimi rice bowl to share. It offered once of the best tasting pieces of salmon I've ever had! We also ordered the edamame - It was pretty standard. For our meals we ordered the ramen and the udon noodles. Both were amazing!!
Our waitress was super helpful and friendly. Only negative is that it is located on the third? floor, and you have to walk up many stairs. This would be a huge problem for anyone who has difficulty with stairs or needs an accessible entrance.
