| - First off, I love ramen and would take the chance to visit every ramen shop I ran into. Because of this, I've been able to experience many different types of ramen around the country. This doesn't make me a ramen expert by no means but I know what I like.
Umami is hidden away in a little "house" right off of Willy street. The sign is very small and you can easily miss it, but it's located pretty much across from "Plan B".
They sell ramen and dumplings just like the name suggests. We ended up order 2 types: $12 for a bowl of Tonkatsu Ramen and $10 for the miso ramen. We also ordered the pork and chives dumplings, 6 for $6. Now ramen prices are usually pricey like this, so we didn't think too much of it.
We received the dumplings first. They were small, pan friend on the outside, and came with a soy-ginger dipping sauce. These dumplings were tasty, but I wish there was more to it. More meat, more chives, more anything.
The ramen came next. This was maybe 30 minutes after we received the dumplings. With that said, the service there was reallllllll slow. For a place that only sells ramen, you'd expect to get your food a little faster. The ramen tasted good, but like the dumplings, there wasn't much to it. You got half an egg, a couple pieces of chasu pork, and some of the pickled bamboo shoot. I wouldn't say I'm a gluten, but I wish there was MORE food, especially since it was a 45-60 min wait since we made our order...I was hungry.
Overall, very good food, but not necessarily for the price. You can add extra ingrediants to you noodles, but that would make a bowl of noodles cost upwards of $20, something I'm not willing to pay.
