| - A great meal of sushi and great typical Japanese style dinner combos in NLV. Went here tonight for the first time and having never been here previously when it was a different owner. Offers a 10% military discount too.
The atmosphere was trendy and spare, with paintings on the walls and in the bathrooms and lots of wood and black, and funnily enough a good amount of upbeat K Pop style music and christmas songs. Great spot for large or small parties of adults for happy hour! Try the pear sake!
Impressed with the level of professionalism given by the new management/owner, who came to my table to discuss when I politely explained that the spicy miso ramen dish I'd ordered was not to my taste.
He wanted to ask why out of curiosity. I've had it before in other places many times before moving to Vegas and I had nothing to hide since I barely ate any of it. Sometimes the taste just isn't what you expect! And he understood but was concerned.
I felt very well taken care of, he even offered to comp my next ramen, which I said was totally unnecessary. I enjoy giving my business to a good place if they treat me well, once I find what I love to eat, and Umami has MANY options.
The new management has similar offerings throughout Vegas in four other restaurants that offer AYCE options, which includes standard nigiri and baked/fried/hand rolls. Crab, lobster, tuna, avocado, cream cheese, ponzu, yum yum and SOS sauce seems to be the go-to on many rolls. I can't hate on it because it works.
I've been frequenting one of the other "partner" restaurants, Sakana, a lot recently and having LOVED their options but hated the far drive, finding this place made me happy. The menus are similar and prices, but small differences in presentation and style.
Our waiter, a young Asian man took a while to greet and seat us but when we finally sat five mins after entering what looked to be a nearly empty restaurant we saw that there were only two servers on the floor and a party of 12 on the far side, hidden from the front, and a few others. Also, the entire time our server was not only serving them but also preparing various to-go boxes. Poor guy probably prepped like 5-6 just in the time we were there, maybe for phone orders. He was as attentive as he could be, responding quickly to us and getting help from the other server and food runner.
The rolls we ordered were great, dinner combo worthwhile though I wasn't a fan of the very acidic vinaigrette on the salad that came with the combo. I like mine genuine Japanese style with sesame oil. I ordered one to go as well. Overall, would come back as soon as I can!
