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.

After a disappointing experience at another Japanese restaurant in the Lake Charles area, we…read moredecided to try a place in Moss Bluff called Umami Kumo -- and I'm glad we did. The restaurant appears fairly new. It's on the smaller side, but very nice -- clean, neat, and welcoming. From the moment we sat down, it felt like a completely different experience. The sushi portions were generous, and every roll we ordered was full of flavor. Honestly, I was surprised. In a smaller town like Moss Bluff, I didn't go in with big expectations -- it was mostly about convenience. But this place exceeded them. We had a great meal, and while the bill was about what you'd expect, the quality made it absolutely worth it. If you're in the Lake Charles area -- and even if Moss Bluff isn't somewhere you'd normally think to go for Japanese food -- Umami Kumo is definitely worth a visit. Give it a shot

For apps we got the yellowtail jalapeño tuna and the tuna tataki, both were 10/10 and so fresh/flavorful! For entrees we got the chicken and shrimp hibachi (10/10).

I asked for ranch but they do put a lot so if you don't like a lot of dressing, then ask for it on the side! We also tried some sushi, the volcano and fire alarm roll! (4/5).

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.
