Really great lunch and daily specials. The pork belly and bulgogi tacos are my favorite. Tuna poké bowl for lunch is a great price and super filling!

We used their take out option and were very disappointed unfortunately. Not sure we’ll be back to try in-person. If using their take out, highly recommend checking your rolls before you leave. The taste was fine, but definitely not worth the money. You’re looking at $29 worth of sushi.. very disappointed in the portion size relative to the cost.

Went here for just drinks but got way more than I was expecting! The bartender, Tina, was so sweet and attentive! She asked me what type of food I liked and helped me find something on the menu to try! I was far from disappointed with my entire experience!!! Food and drinks were great! Service was even better! She took the time to help me find something I liked, and now I will be going back regularly for it! Hopefully she will be there when I make my next visit! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

This was my first and last time going. The food was a disappointment with exception to the pork spring roll. The service was beyond disappointing. I would’ve given it a zero if I could. The bartender was rude, unfriendly, and very dismissive. I definitely would not recommend.

My favorite restaurant in Birmingham. The food is delicious and I’m able to eat many menu items despite my dairy allergy. I love the tacos and the ramen. Versatile menu and the staff are always on point. Lychee martini is the bomb.

Umami is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. I go weekly—sometimes twice—and now my husband is just as hooked. The sushi is phenomenal, but the 10-hour pork belly tacos are a must-try. The crispy chicken tacos, ramen bowls, and edamame are also incredible. Everything on the menu is consistently delicious, served in generous tapas-style portions. The staff is warm and welcoming, and their happy hour (Tuesday–Sunday, 3–6 p.m.) is unbeatable. I’ve recommended Umami to friends and family, and now we’re all obsessed. You simply can’t go wrong here.

Tina is an outstanding bartender. She’s not only skilled at making great drinks, but she also creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Her friendly personality and positive attitude make every visit enjoyable. She takes the time to get to know her customers and always makes sure everyone is taken care of. Tina truly goes above and beyond!

This was our fourth trip over the last 4 year. It did not disappoint. The seafood, veggies and pork belly were everything. The sauce that came with the Brussel Sprouts is everything. Go check them out it's always a vibe..
