Super tasty sushi and great service. I am gluten free and have a couple other food allergies. Shoutout to our waiter, Alex (I think!), who was able to tweak several dishes for me. I felt safe eating here AND enjoyed the food, which can sometimes be a trade off. This is NOT a BYO as some local blogs and articles have mis-tagged as. I did not see any mention of a bar or drinks on OpenTable or their website, so I called ahead. They have a full bar and our cocktails were excellent....

Umami Steak and Sushi Bar was a great spot for a quick business lunch in the Old City neighborhood. Enter on Walnut Street and take a short flight of stairs down to the basement restaurant. Though service was a bit hurried/terse and the menu on the pricier side, the food was terrific: some of the best pork I've had in a bowl of ramen--incredibly tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the ramen bowl's flavor bomb and, though not marinated, the soft-boiled egg was great....

They claim to have the best sushi in Philadelphia and, based on rather limited experience (perhaps a dozen kid the seeming hundreds), they very well may be right. Not to be missed. V nice service, too.
