    Food quality needs to be checked twice over. Food orders need to be checked twice over. Everything there needs a revamp.

    Late review: We…read moretraveled to Lake Charles and had planned to sample some carnival/fair food at the Louisiana Pirate Festival. However, the food choices were very limited. We researched restaurants in the area, but most were closed or had limited hours on a Sunday. Umami was the only restaurant with good reviews that was open at the time. The food was ok. It was definitely better than Hana Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill in Natchitoches, but not as good as Geisha Sushi Bistro in New Orleans. We ordered: Tuna tartare Spicy tuna roll Spicy salmon roll Hamachi nigiri Tuna nigiri Steamed shumai There's 24 photos that should be posted with this review.

    We were passing through Lake Charles on our way to Texas and decided to give this restaurant a try…read more Unfortunately, the experience fell short. Starting with the atmosphere -- when we were seated, the table was noticeably sticky, which immediately set the wrong tone. The overall space felt dated, and several tables showed visible wear, including warped wood. It gave the impression that maintenance and upkeep may not be a priority. We decided to move forward and hope the food would make up for it. The quality itself wasn't terrible, but it wasn't memorable either -- fairly average and not something we'd go out of our way for. The biggest issue was the portion size and service flow. The sushi arrived in very small increments -- two pieces at a time -- with long pauses in between. It made the meal feel disjointed and unnecessarily drawn out. For the price point, the portions were extremely small, and I actually left hungry, which rarely happens. For three people, the bill ended up being over $125 (including a couple of beers), which felt steep considering the portion sizes and overall experience. I understand how challenging the restaurant business can be, and this isn't written to be harsh -- just honest. There's potential here, but improvements in cleanliness, presentation, portion sizing, and service pacing would make a significant difference. With several dining options in the area, I would likely explore other restaurants during our stay.

    Fried Wonton is not crab rangoon. Unfortunately that is what they served. Fried Wonton is…read moredifferent from Fried Dumpling and Steamed Dumpling. They need to change the menu items and advertise them correctly. The sushi was very sub-par to the point that I only ate half of the order. The ingredients in the sushi were not proportioned correctly. Also they were no sushi dishes to pour your soy sauce into so you may dip your sushi. I had to ask them to give me a small bowl. They use pink ginger rather than white ginger, obviously trying to save on costs. I hear from others that the fried rice and pepper steak are good items. My recommendation is to try those generic items and stay away from the sushi. Although this is mostly self-serve when the staff brings the food to you they should also grab utensils (forks, knives, spoons, chopsticks, soy sauce, etc.). This added touch to customer service would enhance the experience as well as put a few dollars in their pockets when they get tipped. Unfortunately i will not be a repeat customer.

    So delicious! Sushi was really yummy and freshly made. I ordered the California roll and shrimp…read moretempura roll combo $11.45 (little pricy but worth it for the area). I also ordered the sesame chicken which was also freshly cooked (piping hot!) I also ordered the crab rangoons which were a little sweet but very flavorful. My only complaint was that it was pretty pricy. My total was $30 for those three items ($11 for sushi, $9 for sesame chicken and they gave me a lot, and $5 for 8 rangoons). If you're willing to spend some money definitely come here for some yummy food!
