Best chicken rendang!
Had dinner here on the recommendation of a colleague - they let us in even though they were near closing time. The food was all freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. The chicken rendang was to die for! could have eaten it again. Highly recommend.
A cozy, warm and small place offering nice Asian food. Everything from noodles to salads to sushi is well designed and decorated. I love Pad Thai which is a Must Try dish in this place.
The staff are so friendly and so helpful.
I highly recommend this place to everyone
I love the £6.95 lunch deal here which involves two courses and always tastes fresh! Everything from noodles to curry to salads is always top notch and well presented and the staff couldn't be more helpful. I'd definitely recommend to anybody.
food was amazing value, monk's broth made me feel holy. service was prompt and friendly, and the whole experience was comfortable and welcoming. free green tea refills! 10/10
It's easy to miss this place from the outside and as you head down the stairs you wonder what you are walking into. However, once you get inside you are greeted by a light & spacious eating area. The tables are well spaced and use bench seating. It was very quiet when I visited, perhaps only 2 other tables in use, so the service was very quick & professional.
I had the Salt & Pepper Squid followed by the Char Sui Ramen and both were great. The pork in the ramen was especially tasty. They do not serve alcohol but you can take your own (an opening fee applies).
I look forward to my next visit.
Fried rice and fried tofu are quite tasty. Curry is also nice. Ramen on the other hand is not so agreeable, and I wouldn’t recommend ordering beverages here. Servers are pretty nice, and the restaurant itself is clean and organized.
Excellent Asian food, the attention from the staff is very good. We loved Michelle's attention and all her staff. We will be back soon!
Small and quiet place, absolutely lovely! The food is very delicious and plenty of healthy options too - I can't eat fried or spicy food so there are some vegetarians options and grilled ones too. The rice is very good on its own as well, pair it with some grilled chicken wings and you've got yourself a proper meal. Good amount of food for 2 people at a reasonable price, drinks and meals around £40 - very decent in today's times.
Will definitely go back!
Have been coming here for 7 years, mostly with colleagues but recently with family and it is consistently fresh and delicious food. Love their well priced lunch time deal, available 12-3 pm with plenty of veggie/pescatarian options too. Sesame prawn toast is the best ever. Lots of seating. High chair available too for little ones although no lift so not easily accessible for wheelchair/pram. Super friendly and speedy service. Highly recommended, my favourite Japanese restaurant, hope this place never closes.
Really lovely spot. Be careful not to walk past it as you could easily miss it. The staff was fantastic and extremely accommodating to my friends food allergies. Really quaint atmosphere. Not too busy so it was peaceful. Food was really nice. They don't sell alcohol but they do let you take your own in (which I'll know for next time) Would definitely go back again. Keen to try more dishes.

Umami is such an intriguing restaurant as the view from before you enter the restaurant and when you are in it does vary accordingly. You would not expect such a nice atmosphere as to when you enter the restaurant. Tables are set evenly with maximum space which allows room for movement. Unlike many restaurants where space is prohibited as they try to maximise every space possible for customers.
The music was in the perfect level. You would be able to talk and catch up with your friends and peers.
The seating however appears to be too low. I had to lift my arms up slightly to eat.
In terms of the food, we ordered two Ramens. I ordered the Char Siu Ramen and my dad ordered the Chili Beef Ramen.
Both Ramens were amazing and would be highly recommended. The pork from Char Siu Ramen was very distinct and savoury.
There was however an uneven amount of noodles between the two Ramen as the Char Siu Ramen appeared to have more volume. The temperature of the ramen was also recognisable as it does not appear to be as hot/warm as expected.
Overall, it's not the most exceptional ramen spot out there, but it's a decent option if you're in the area and in the mood for a quick meal!
Learned about this place from an acquaintance and now I come here once a week.
At first it was because it's close to the UoM library but now it's because of a desire for comfort food.
It's a wonderful place with great food and nice people.
Although I think the food quality justifies the price tag, try going there during lunch hours if you want to get the most bang for your bucks. They rotate the lunch menu but there's always something great on it.
Friendly staff. Very reasonably price. Good food. Will come again soon.
