Umami Ramen & Izakaya offers a delightful vegetarian selection, generous and flavorful ramen, and a cozy atmosphere ideal for dates or gatherings with friends. The knowledgeable staff provides helpful drink recommendations and accommodates dietary restrictions. Although there may be a slight wait for the bill, the overall dining experience is highly positive, making it a great choice for a meal out.
The restaurant's tasting menu (5 courses) is a wonderful option for those seeking to explore new and experimental dishes, with the vegan caviar and banana flower fry receiving high praise. While the spicy tantanmen may be too heavy for some, the Wagashi Umami, a homemade mousse with a red bean daifuku mochi, is a light and refreshing dessert. Vegetarian options at Umami Ramen & Izakaya provide a Japanese culinary experience that transports diners.
Many dishes receive high praise, including the agedashi tofu, which was rated 9/10, and the miso ramen, which was described as excellent. The tantanmen ramen was also highly regarded, though some found the meaty tofu crumbles a bit too salty. The yubu Tokyo ramen and eggplant dishes were also noted as great or excellent. The restaurant is fully vegan, making it an ideal place for plant-based eaters.
Guests have enjoyed the ramen, describing it as delicious and filling, with some mentioning it as some of the best vegan food they have had. The croquettes and other appetizers, such as the agedashi tofu, add to the positive food experience. Service is consistently praised, and the cozy size of the restaurant suggests reservations may be helpful, especially since parking details are not specified and many visitors arrive via transit. Overall, Umami Ramen & Izakaya is a popular spot for flavorful vegan and vegetarian Japanese dishes.
