3 is the perfect score. Everything was “ok”. The place was clean. Service was nice, but not attentive (I got up to get us straws, napkins, and later soy sauce when our sushi came out.). Gyoza, shumai, and pork buns were all good. Yakisoba noodles were ick. Too greasy and super low grade chicken used. Sushi was average. Easy to tell the fish was not super fresh (we ate on a Saturday). But it was “ok”. Not a bad place, but not a good place I would recommend to anyone (I liked).
Umaya was an average experience, and much more casual from what we were expecting based on the reviews and their photos. But food was decent and service was fast.
Umaya Izakaya was amazinggggg! Antonio was our waiter and he set the tone for the evening. We came in to celebrate our brothers 17th birthday and he loves Japanese food...let me just say, the food was GREAT! They were able to accommodate 2 of our party guest who had gluten allergies and assisted with bringing out the birthday cake. 10/10 will definitely be back!
Great people. Not good ambience or food. Spicy tuna roll was mush, other rolls were mediocre at best. Hate to say it, not the place to make a good impression on a date with a pretty lady
We went for lunch and got there before it got too crowded. The ambiance is rather plain but the servers cheerful and attentive. We both enjoyed the miso soup to start with. Nice sized bowl and very tasty. My guest had the hamachi salmon dish and enjoyed it. I had the tempura shrimp roll which was excellent. I also got one order of salmon sashimi. It was good but not as melt in your mouth as other restaurants. A bit of a small portion for the price.
Great and lively spot for lunch. Got busy quickly and their menu has something for everyone.
Horrible service with very mediocre food that was overpriced for what they offered. Will never go back
Great food! Service was a little slow but we weren't in a rush and relaxed and enjoyed the meal.
Great selection of sushi and other classic izakaya dishes. Service was fast and the food was delicious.

Friendly service, delicious ramen! We were looking to try a Ramen place while on vacation that wouldn't break the bank and this place delivered. Would definitely eat here again.

Our server Christian recommended us an incredible selection of dishes, the avocado and short rib plates were stand outs. He made sure we always had a fresh round of drinks!

Had an absolute blast visiting Umaya! As a restaurant manager myself, I love getting to sit at the bar and experience how other places do things….Christian was a rockstar. From the unbelievable food to the personal service, had a delicious meal from start to finish. Thank you Christian!
