The prices are somewhat steep but everything is top notch, always fresh and impeccably prepared. It may seem somewhat intimidating to try to figure out what everything is, but I have always found the staff to be extremely helpful in this regard. I love the sushi and rolls and sashimi, as well as the more seasonal items on the menu, like the razor clams with mushrooms and the tiny fried fish. This is, by far, my favorite Japanese restaurant.

Twenty minutes walk from the historical centre, and worth doing it on your knees. The shop looks…read moredated, and the corny backlit sign makes you think this may be a bad idea. But there must be some unspoken rule that the best sushi restaurants are transported from decades past. Once you taste the food it becomes clear why several customers are Japanese themselves: this is the real deal. The fish was superb, and the preparation straightforward and unpretentious - none of the fancy presentation of fashion-conscious places, just really good food. Two telltale choices: the octopus was very tender, an easy one to get wrong. And the tuna sashimi, so often victim to dry, opaque squidginess, was deep and vibrant in colour, retaining the moist bite of fresh fish. Added to the essentials when in town.

I had really high hopes when I first heard about Umamido. A good ramen restaurant is something I…read morereally miss from living in the States. The prices are a bit high compared to what I'm used to in America - 7 euro pork buns and 15 euro bowls of ramen. That said, the pork buns are fantastic!! By far the most delicious part of my meal. I have to say, though, I'm a bit jealous when I compare the pork buns I received with the pictures I'm seeing now on Yelp - I would have loved more pickled cucumber and scallions! Perhaps it's because the usual chef wasn't working that evening. For my main dish, I ordered the tonkotsu ramen. It was very good, but not the best I've ever had (a bit salty and not enough vegetables). I'd definitely go back again!

They combine all-you-can-eat style with a diverse menu, small portions so it's difficult to over-order, and of course low prices. Quality of nigiri suffers a bit because of this, but this should be anticipated at this price point. You fill out a form indicating what number of what dishes you'd like, hand it to a member of the waitstaff, and they bring your order out to your table. You repeat until you're done or until the time limit is up (I think around two hours). Waitstaff is prompt and friendly! Very eager to accommodate! Dinner service is slightly more expensive, but has more options. To think of this as only a sushi restaurant is definitely a mistake. They have so many options (the octopus balls, all of their tempura, grilled squid, duck, frog legs, and marinated tofu are all big favorites of mine). I eat here very regularly and I'm still discovering new favorites! Price and style should be considered before you try this place out though - if you're coming for a small meal you're in the wrong place (it's an all-you-can-eat restaurant, obviously) and if you're expecting word class quality then you need to go to a more expensive restaurant - it's a very affordable meal and the quality reflects - and sometimes exceeds - the price point accordingly. Great for groups, and make sure to reserve if you're coming in during the evening. It's a very popular restaurant, tables go fast!
