About

Umami blends a casual Japanese dining experience with bold flavors and a cozy, atmospheric interior featuring red mood lighting and exposed brick. It stands out for its flavorful miso ramen, grilled mushroom skewers, and large portion sizes akin to bar food, with a variety of vegan dishes clearly marked though some depend on substitutions. The drinks menu is extensive, highlighting rare Japanese spirits, and the staff are eager and knowledgeable about vegan preferences, though the venue's upstairs location likely limits wheelchair accessibility.
