Not blown away by the average experience I had here at Umami. It's a cute shop with a good ambiance that is fit for a ramen place. I visited just after they opened at noon one day, and I found them to be severely understaffed with only one waitress for the whole shop.
I had the green tea, which for $1 is a steal, it's not just a teabag but legit. However, I was less impressed with the ramen.
When it finally came, I found both the broth and the noodles to be mediocre, which means that regardless of what else comes in the bowl the bowl is doomed to be mediocre at best. At $15 for a smaller bowl, I left not completely satisfied and ended up eating a bun from the nearby Chinese bakery.
And, they don't take credit card either, only debit and cash. Is this 2017 or am I lost?
With many great ramen places in town, I don't see a need to come back unless everything else is closed.
