Umami just opened in Pittsburgh four days ago! I was so excited to finally get a reservation and try their offerings. I would definitely ensure that you book a res for this restaurant. You have to walk up two flights of stairs and on your way up, you will see beautiful lanterns and wallpaper with red lighting. The bar are is small as is the restaurant itself. Once you reach the top of the stairs, to the left is traditional floor seating and to the right is the bar and seating at tables. All tables are very close together so be prepared to stare at your neighbors or have them stare at you. The table seating really should be in a better layout as the servers have to navigate in very tight quarters between bar seating and table seating and among guests just standing around. I felt bad for the staff as I'm sure this is frustrating. The sake selection varies and we ended up getting a 300 ml bottle for $30. It was alright, nothing to write home about. My boyfriend ordered the Lion Wolf and Cub. Wow, this was delicious! It's a kirin draft and a falling petal shot which is draft sake shot infused with hibiscus! I could have drank these all night. Now onto the food. The pork and shrimp shumai had a great flavor and I love the added edamame on top. The takoyaki was hands down the best dish we had! I could have just ordered those for the rest of the night and been happy! Knowing that they just opened, I'll come back but will have to give it some time to allow them to work on a few things. Overall, another nice hip place to go to when you find yourself in Lawrenceville.
