Umebana, also known as Old Maki Yaki, is a hidden gem serving fresh and tasty Japanese cuisine. The bento boxes, including the chicken teriyaki and tofu options, are highly recommended, offering generous portions and great value for the price. The tempura is crispy and non-greasy, and the sushi, including the spicy salmon, is a hit. The staff is welcoming and kind, with the sushi chef personally greeting each customer.
Customers describe their experience as "downright perfect," with every bite being an "adventure" that is either "colorful or blissful." The customer service is even better, as all their needs and wants are met. Umebana is a must-visit for Japanese food lovers, with large portions, affordable prices, and a wide variety of menu items to try.
The restaurant may lack frills, with a casual, family-oriented atmosphere, but the food more than makes up for it. One customer even declares, "If Umebana has 1000 fans I'm one of them. If Umebana has 10 fans I'm one of them. If Umebana has 1 fan I'm him. If Umebana has 0 fans I must be dead. I will live and die by Umebana."
While the atmosphere may not be set up to feel warm and cozy, the food is described as "very good," and customers must order on their own, with the staff bringing the food to them.
