“I love ramen. I love ramen way too much, as a matter of fact. After my go-to ramen place near campus went out of business, I was distraught. I've tried several other places, only to be entirely underwhelmed. However, my friend and I tried Umami yesterday, and I can say with certainty that it was some of the best ramen I have had. The noodles are made in-house, and it absolutely tastes like it (in the best way possible). Our server Sidney (apologies if that isn't how it is spelled) was the sweetest ever, and had plenty of suggestions for us. The ramen is a dollar or two more expensive than typical restaurant ramen, however, for the amount of meat they put in each bowl it is well worth it.My complaints are limited and greatly outweighed by the positive experience, but the only critiques I have are:- The bamboo in the ramen was a little bit too crunchy- Not a big fan of the extra charge for some spiciness, but it was pretty yummy- The N/A drinks are tasty, but not super worth the price for the amount you getThank you so much for a fantastic experience! Looking forward to coming back.“
“Atmosphere (5/5): The atmosphere was satisfactory. There were props reminiscent of Taiwan, the interior of the store was clean, and the sound of music in the store was not loud enough to interfere with conversation.Service (4/5): You can order through the staff or through the kiosk, so you won't have to wait long to order your food. The staff taking orders are friendly. However, after eating, each person need to put their plates and trays away in a designated area, just like at a fast food restaurant.Food(5/5): The food is very nice for the price. In the case of bento, the rice is not seasoned, so it feels a bit bland, but the danzai noodle menu and the meat (proteins) included in the bento were really tasty. I also recommend milk tea for dessert.Price: $20 per person (including tips)“
