My son and I had dinner here yesterday and were very impressed. Everything we ate was fantastic but the green tea crème brûlée was to die for. My son said it was the best crème brûlée he has ever eaten. We will be back and I will definitely be picking up takeout on those late work nights.

Umami - Japanese...Delicious savory taste.
Not from my experience.
Umami - Manchester...Sweet and gloopy.
Their $11 spring roll is a singular, poor, small and tasteless rendition. Promoted as including shitake mushrooms, scallions, cabbage and vermicelli, ours unfortunately only included cabbage and one lonely string of carrot. Paired with the sweet and gloopy sauce... we felt disrespected.
On their appetizer menu, they list the number of pieces of each plate, perfect for a sharing table. Here they claim you get two spring rolls but they cut one in half.
We felt disrespected.
The rest of the meal was normal average/disappointing. But NOT without similar issues.
GLWS.

We’ve had really good takeout from Umami but having their food in-house is even better. We ate at the bar tonight, enjoyable bartender, fast service, and excellent food! The soup dumplings, spare ribs, spring rolls, and crab Rangoon were all delicious! Compared to other food offerings in the area, Umami goes to the top of the list!

No white rice with entre? Small portions, low quality. Hopefully the dine in experience is better. Will not return.

This food is absolutely foul. Ordered chicken with broccoli and chicken lo-mein. They gave me literal SCRAPS of chicken. It was so disgusting I literally spit it out. I wouldn't even feed this food to my dog. So much for having decent Chinese food in Manchester. Save yourself the trouble and skip this place.

Wow, what a wonderful restaurant! We had one of the best Asian dinners, creative, beautifully presented, and delicious. Umami is far above your typical Chinese restaurant, though they do have many of the standard dishes you'd expect. The new decor is low key and comfortable, but it's the creative fusion dishes make this place special, the Herbed Seared Lemon Wild Salmon appetizer, Kimchi Ramen, and Slow Cooked Duck Breast were amazing with fresh ingredients and nuanced seasoning and flavors. Even something as standard as Pork Lo Mein was notches above the usual. Service was attentive, friendly, and informative about the food, and about the very creative cocktails. The Clarified Neapolitan Negroni was delicious!

Umami is a great addition to the excellent restaurant scene in Manchester!

We wanted to give this place a shot since the dine-in reviews seemed better than takeout, but unfortunately this place will be a one and done for my partner and I. The portions here are small and small portions of quality food can be ok but the food also tasted reheated, like everything had been frozen and just warmed up to order. One of us ordered a "wok" meal which wasn't even all cooked in a wok since it included bland, boiled broccoli on the plate. This $21 meal didn't include rice and we were upsold a side of fried rice, which we later found out was priced at an astounding $11. If the dine-in food was this rough I can't imagine what the takeout experience would be.

On the positive side, the inside of the restaurant is really nicely decorated, but you have to put up with yelling and frustration from the open kitchen which is offputting in a place that's trying to present upscale food.

Worth a visit if you're in Manchester or passing through. Creative asian fusion at a reasonable price. We liked the small plates a lot, especially the seaweed salad and the ribs. It's brand new and there are a few kinks they need to work out but the food is good. I suspect it will just get better the longer they're open.

This place has what it takes to be an AMAZING restaurant. The atmosphere and ambiance is amazing. We overheard each waiter recommend the bao buns so we ordered them and they were pretty subpar. I did love my ramen though it is a little different than a traditional ramen but still yummy. As for service, our waiter was not very attentive. We had to ask for the bill 3 times. I will say I was being very observant and the waiter at one of the tables by us was amazing. The restaurant wasn’t very busy and our food took an hour to come out. Please take this as constructive criticism because this place has what it takes to be great.

Amazing food and atmosphere!

While we're sad Social is no longer, we definitely wanted to give this new place a try and we are glad we did. Amazing service - beautiful warm place - and the food was excellent. Go try it - I hope you have a great experience. Never did take out, so no comment on that. We plan on going again.
