Ok, this place is not terrible by any means. But 4 stars on trip advisor? The menu was interesting but I thought only every second dish was up to scratch. One or two were well below expectations. The service was also patchy, I ordered a gin and tonic and just received a glass of tonic. There were a few slip... More

I ate here with a friend of mine. Bit of a mix between suchi and Japanese restaurant. Food was really really good!

You'll notice Umami is a formula: a trendy, colourful interior, lots of people, 'asianeuropean' food from an easy-to-pick menu, brought to you in a fast pace for a good price. Some will point out that it's crowdy or noisy, I prefer calling it lively. The food is not so much exquisite as it is symply tasteful and lovely. Price is... More

The concept of this restaurant is exceptionally good. All fresh ingredients and lots of taste. Shared food done very well. Value for money can not be better.

After initial confusion about the menu, and the failure of the waiter to explain this, we have been served very interesting dishes, with a great value for money. The dishes look pretty and in some cases combine interesting ingredients. Most dishes seem to be... More

The waitress was friendly although my pregnant friend gave her a hard time on what she could or could not eat. Very professional and we had a... More

Nicely made deserts, including one with Japanese sweet beans ice cream which was well done. Good taste generally speaking, said an asian food expert in the party of seven. But then the... More

I went there on a Saturday night and I was sent to the basement, together with some rather large groups, including drunk screaming women. The acoustics was such I could barely hear myself talking. I ordered several a menu of several small courses that, while edible, didn't really impress.

The concept of this Restaurant is nice : you can chose a lot of small dishes from a large choice and then you enjoy all the small bites. It's like having Tapas, asian way. The food was good (but not great though) and it was really nice to taste a lot of things. We were in the "basement", it was... More
