This was our first (but not last) visit to Umaya. They have an extensive menu of food and drink. We started off with shrimp shumai which is typically steamed when I've ordered it but this came fried - still delicious. I ordered the beef yakisoba which was a little bit sweet. Soy sauce took the edge off. My fellow diner had the spicy ramen which he enjoyed. I would try the sushi next time.

I have been to many Sushi restaurants and this was ok. Hamachi Kama was a little dry, the food didn't quite match up to the venues atmosphere with Asian decor but it was fine. Looks like it was converted from a night club. Price value was a little higher for what was given. I had a Sashimi bowl but I didn't like the sushi rice underneath as if a little spoiled with taste. I know they tried to do some fusion but overall fine.

The tonkotsu was amazing! Want to try the sushi next time. For first time visiters, the staff didn't talk to us about the menu or how anything worked.

Not the frehest or tastiest sashimi or chirashi. Wait service very strained, with too few servers for room. Pricey for quality of food.

I don't know if it was just the night I went but the service was so slow and took a while for our waiter to come around. However, once we placed our orders the food came out fast and hot!

A quiet and chill atmosphere. Get the chicken meatball skewers and thank me later. Get the Chilean sea bass, same deal. Staff is extremely friendly. Ramen is 10/10. Next time I come to DC I'll make time to come back. Please give this spot some love

The food was very good, one of the best Tonkatsu Ramen I had(the chili in the side was actually hot), every other thing was also great. The best thing was our server was awesome very friendly and super informative.

Stopped in around 4:45/5PM. Probably the most emotionally fulfilling meal of my meager existence. The curry ramen will haunt my dreams until I am able to return. Tempura rice bowl was reported to be perfection, and that 100% the shrimp are fried fresh and to order. Was a very laid back and calm atmosphere after a busy day. Will be counting down the days until the next visit.
Services were great and Sara was wonderful. Food was okay. We had the miso ramen. The noodle and the portion was good, but the soup was lukewarm. Chicken kareage was good but the portion was too small for the price. This place could work on the rice a little but. The rice in the curry ton Katsu was too mushy, and the rice for the sushi was not cooked evenly. We tried some of the skewers and they were so, so.

I ordered their chicken yakisoba and karaage. The yakisoba was alright but it was more salty than anything else. The karaage tasted strange - like it definitely could’ve been fried a little longer because it was a strange mushy texture while chewing it. I probably would order from them again if I was in the mood for yakisoba but that’s a big if.

Amazing service, the vegan tantan ramen was so yummy and creamy. Really good with the spice bomb too
