I have been dying for ramen and decided to do my birthday lunch here with friends. Parking on the weekends was a little difficult. Everyone had to pay for street parking. Once inside they seat you immediately. I did make a reservation but I do not think it was necessary. The inside is very cute, clean and simple. I found the prices to be very fair for what you got. One of the reasons I chose this spot is because they had good vegan/vegetarian options for my friends. They really liked their ramen but were dissapointed in the small portion of the tofu. For my entree I got the UMA Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen. It was exactly what I had hoped. Simply delicious. I wouldn't say there was anything especially standout about their ramen but it was good. The server was very friendly and I thought the food came out in a timely fashion. Overall it was a good experience and I would return. read more

Wow! Talk about flavor! Green tea was good just wish it had a special element to it considering it was $5.99 The ramen was AMAZING. Finally a good ramen with lots of flavor. I loved how it had simple ingredients and the broth was packed with flavor. It took us about 10 minutes to get our ramen then another 10 minutes to get our rolls which told me everything was being made fresh to order. We were sat immediately and the service was quick. They were playing current music for an overall good experience. Their card tap system wasn't working so they had to swipe the American express and it scratched the card. Keep in mind that it's DTO (downtown Orlando) so it can be difficult to find parking. I will be recommending this spot to others! read more

My gf and I are so happy I have found this place in downtown orlando. We drove past it and decided to come back and try it out. The service is great!! Our server was so kind. Great music and great vibes. We have now been here 3 times within 2 weeks. That's how good the food is!! Highly recommend the seaweed salad, fire seared beef ramen, white garlic tonkotsu ramen, and the bonito dance sushi. All 10/10!!! Everything is soooooo good! read more

Stopped by Uma after church to grab some sushi, and honestly, it was a pretty basic experience. The restaurant itself isn't the most aesthetically appealing, but the staff were very friendly and offered solid recommendations on their popular dishes. One thing they did get right was the music. The R&B and Hip‑Hop rotation was fire and definitely helped the vibe. The sushi was good, but it could've been better. Nothing bad, just not memorable. I tried their Lychee Green Tea, though, and that was actually very refreshing and perfect for a hot Sunday afternoon. Overall, it was a decent visit, and I'd give them a second try. I didn't get a chance to try their ramen, and based on how the staff talked about it, that might be where they really shine. read more

UMA Sushi & Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This ramen spot replaced Takumi Ramen that used to be in the same building. That place was good for a decent ramen when the other top ramen joints were too busy, so was hoping for this to be another good ramen option in town. Came early on a Friday evening so seating wasn't too much of a problem but it did get busier shortly thereafter. I ordered the shrimp tempura ramen and my husband ordered the black garlic tonkotsu ramen. Both bowls were decent but lacking in the rich flavorful broths of the other top competitors in town. Takoyaki bites were good but we didn't really explore more of the menu as we were focused on trying the ramen. Vibes were casual modern, and staff was friendly. Next time we'd probably skip the ramen and try the sushi offerings. read more

We were told by the waitress that they only opened about 2 months ago, the previous establishment was still showing as open when I was looking online. Small casual spot in a residential area. It was relatively quiet when we arrived (~7PM) but by the time we left, it was full. The ramen was tasty. Their broth super flavourful and hearty, noodles had a nice bounce, though the portion is quite small compared to some other places with similar pricing. The menu shows that the ramen comes with a marinated soft-boiled egg- you only get half an egg. Other items we ordered were the tuna lover roll, sushi didn't taste very fresh despite it being advertised as "very fresh" - the fish felt was grainy, and rice was a bit hard. The seaweed salad was ... interesting. A definite first for all of us, seaweed with lettuce. Little seaweed and a lot of lettuce. If it came with a description, I don't think I would have ordered it. Service was nice and the ramen was tasty, just the quality of everything else wasn't quite there. Maybe it's the staff figuring out their groove. read more

UMA was a great, random find! They had fairly priced sushi and the quality was good, too. Had the golden California roll, unagi hand roll, salmon hand roll, and a salmon roll. My partner had a golden California roll, hamachi roll, and the calamari. Everything was delicious! I liked that the salmon hand roll had big roe on it :) Service was prompt and the ambiance was great! Only critique is I wish the hot tea came in a ceramic cup, not a to go cup, and served with a pot and leaves instead of a tea bag. Kinda killed the vibe for me a bit. read more

Great Quick Lunch Spot - Fresh Sushi & Friendly Vibe Stopped into Uma Sushi while in town for business and it turned out to be one of the best quick lunches I've had in a while! I was looking for something fast but good, and this place delivered perfectly. The food was fantastic -- super fresh fish, well-prepared rolls, and everything tasted bright and high-quality. The portions were generous and the flavors were spot-on. It was exactly what I needed during a busy workday: quick service, delicious sushi, and a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. I really appreciated how efficient yet attentive the staff was. Even though I was in and out fairly fast, it still felt like a pleasant dining experience rather than just grab-and-go. Great value too! If you're in the Orange area and craving sushi, definitely check out Uma Sushi. I'd happily return next time I'm in town. Highly recommend! read more

The parking is atrocious in order to eat at this restaurant! They try their best to put information about where to park on their website but the parking situation is complete chaos. The food overall was good! The ramen was delicious, the fried dumplings were crispy and flavorful and the garlic edamame was to die for! Prices were between $19-$25 each for ramen. When we were ready to leave, we asked for the check and were told our bill included all of our food and an iPad was shoved in our face with no itemized bill. We paid and added a tip--only to discover when the receipt printed out that they added gratuity even though we were only a party of 4! The server ended up getting a $34 tip on a $89 bill because she never informed us that they automatically include gratuity, no matter the party size. I'm not gunna lie--that alone, put a bad taste in our mouth and we unfortunately will not be going back. read more

What I liked best about Uma was the service. My friends and I went there for dinner on Valentines Day and our server was so nice and attentive. She took great pictures of us. They also gave us chocolates which was a nice touch. I got the black garlic tonkotsu ramen and oh my goodness, delectable! The ambience was that of a nice casual sit-down resto- good for talking and catching up. read more

UMA Sushi & Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Orlando, Florida

In town for work, and co-worker wanted Ramen. Im always hesitant on places that seem to serve multiple trendy items, as they never seem to have homeruns on any. This was the case here. Had the classic Tonkatsu and was searching for flavor. The noodles, chasu, and soft-boiled egg were on point, but the broth just lacked depth. Joined this with some Shrimp Tempura from Sysco! Just standard tastes across the board. Skipped the sushi and the boba, and glad I did. 3 stars earned for great customer service, clean cool atmosphere, and I've never had horrible Ramen, so 3 is about the starting point! read more

UMA Sushi & Ramen is a welcome addition to downtown Orlando, with a menu that gives equal attention to both sushi and noodle dishes. The black garlic tonkotsu ramen had a rich, slow-simmered pork broth with a deep roasted-garlic flavor that never became overpowering. The noodles had a satisfying chew, and the toppings were fresh and generously portioned. We also tried the Kimchi Hamachi Roll, which paired buttery yellowtail with a spicy, tangy kick. The sushi was beautifully presented and tasted very fresh. Service was friendly and attentive, and the modern dining room worked equally well for a casual lunch or date night. read more

I walked into the restaurant, and the vibe was a little bit off. Table tables only at three chair chairs and each table had a painted candle lit and I was wondering why but I actually figured it out that once my feet came all the nats were literally going inside it. I will never be back. read more

I ordered the chicken dumplings and they were absolutely delicious with the perfect crunch. I also tried the spicy beef ramen, which was full of flavor and really hit the spot. The service was fast, and our waiter was super nice and attentive. The restaurant is located downtown, so parking isn't the easiest, but the inside is clean, comfortable, and well kept. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely go back read more

The Ramen is pretty good but I can't give it any more than two stars because if youre charging $20+ for a bowl of ramen, the bowl should come with at least two pieces of meat regardless if it's takeout or dining in. Extremely disappointed, will not be ordering again because I'm not getting my moneys worth. read more

Very good food. Ramen was nice and hot and very tasty. I just wish there were more add in options. Plenty of street parking even though it's downtown. The service was awesome. Our waitress was amazing and we got chocolates for Valentine's day. It's definitely a more casual restaurant but still has a nice ambiance. read more

UMA Sushi & Ramen - 9. Uma Chicken Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The customer service was good! The servers were very kind, and the ambiance was alright. My only complaints are the ramen and the boba. Maybe I came on a bad night, but the ramen tasted really, really plain, the boba was SUPER watered down, and the sushi was alright taste-wise. However, the rolls would fall apart. Very mid overall. I've honestly never left a bad review before, but I ended up paying $100.84 (including a 20% tip, obviously) and it was just not worth it. I only came because it was walking distance from the Vanguard and I was starving that night. I love ramen, but somehow I still left hungry. read more

Absolutely out of control. The broth was the best I've had in the states. And the service somehow matched the food. My water glass never even had the chance to get low. the staff was attentive without hovering and genuinely welcoming the entire time. Incredible food, exceptional service enough said. read more

Very good Customer service, Garlic Ramen was delicious definitely worth coming back. Super clean and very good chill vibes. Worth coming for some good ramen. read more

Eating at UMA today was a spur of the moment decision, with my girlfriends' mom recommending it as we were in the area. The inside is really quaint, it was pretty quiet around 2:00 PM. We ordered sushi, calamari, and gyoza. All of it was fantastic. The calamari came with a spicy mustard (which I don't care for) and the staff worked with us to provide a sweet chili sauce despite a language barrier. I truly recommend to anyone who enjoys Japanese grab-and-goes, though I will note it's fairly costly. read more

This restaurant is amazing. One of my top Japanese restaurants in Orlando. The chicken katsu is out of this world delicious. The restaurant is very small and run by a small amount of staff that are very efficient and friendly. The restaurant is small and cozy. I found this restaurant by accident and I'm so happy I did. read more

absolute worst sushi I've ever had. Falls apart trying to eat. Ended up not eating half my order. read more

These are perfect harmony of Japanese culinary traditions, catering to both sushi lovers and ramen enthusiasts alike

Staff were very nice and the food was really good. The sushi tasted fresh and the ramen was very flavorful. The place is very pretty with all the lights. I recommend this place! read more

I was on jury duty at the courthouse and this restaurant caught my eye which is nearby on the corner of Orange Avenue and Amelia Street. I got the $17 lunch combo which came with a choice of iced tea, appetizer and bowl of ramen. I got the iced Thai tea with milk and it was delicious. For my appetizer I chose the fried gyoza and it was nice and crispy and nicely sauced. The ramen was the standout dish and honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever eaten. I chose the spicy beef ramen (my server said it was $3 extra but I think it was $3.99 as my total bill was $20.99) and it was outstanding. The broth had a nice kick but not too spicy for my taste. The beef was tender and delicious. The entire dish was expertly prepared from the noodles to the soft boiled egg. I would put this bowl of ramen in competition with Domu. The server was friendly and I look forward to dining there again. Highly recommended! read more

UMA Sushi & Ramen - Uma Spicy Ramen with beef - Ramen Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The ramen was perfect! The service was outstanding. Don't miss out on this new gem of a restaurant!

Veggie spring rolls were yummy, but unfortunately the spicy ramen was not good at all. The total was $28 for spring rolls and ramen, so paying around $20 for a ramen I couldn't eat was really disappointing. I ended up giving it to someone else, and they also didn't like it, describing it as burnt with a strange aftertaste. Overall, the spring rolls were a win, but the ramen was a big letdown. read more

Place is cute and small-- should be more busy based off of the quality of food(in my opinion.) Service was great and Sushi was amazing. Had the Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, Spicy Salmon Roll, and Bonito Dance Roll. Recommend 100%. read more
