We had been loyal patrons of this restaurant until recently. They've changed management and now are just like every other bland "all you can eat" place. One of the things that we loved about the prior menu was that they used quality ingredients, offered high end sashimi and other non-roll type food. For this reason, we were there at least once a week and spent well over $100 each visit. Tonight we sadly left and won't be back.
In addition to their new menu problems, any business that decides it's ok to fire all of their chefs and waitstaff with NO NOTICE is not one that I want to spend my money at. The only thing better than their food was their previous staff. We truly enjoyed that we could walk in, be seated, and the wait staff knew what we wanted to drink and the chefs knew what appetizers we wanted to start with. Firing all of these talented people was a huge business blunder.
Sorry Umami, you've lost extremely loyal customers who are very vocal. Instead of sending new people your way, we are informing all of our friends about everything we saw and warning them about all the steps down in quality.
