Austin L.

probably the best sushi in town! staff have always been friendly and prompt. the restaurant is small and space is limited so i'd get there early to get a seat. the kitchen is right next to the dining room so it does get a little warm. overall, enjoyed my time and would come back.

Recently dined at Umami, and while the food was good and the service attentive, the experience was ruined by the terrible smells in the restaurant. Sitting in the middle of the dining room, we were hit with two overpowering odors: strong incense and a shit smell coming from the restroom. The incense was so intense it gave me a headache, and combined with the restroom odor, it made the atmosphere unbearable. For a business that seems to be doing well, there's no excuse for this. At the very least, better ventilation is needed, and honestly, a complete renovation--or even relocation--might be the only way to fix this issue. To make matters worse, the prices are steep, which only highlights how far the overall experience falls short. No matter how good the food is, the environment needs to match, and right now, it doesn't.

Chicken Katsu curry.

Id rate it a 3.5, we was sat by the bathroom which stunk horribly. They sprayed but the smell didn't go away. Smells like they have plumbing issues. The noodles were pretty bland. The curry was pretty good. Joe cashied us out and he didn't smile at all. They customer service was so/so. 2 of us ordered waters and teas and only got the teas.

I am a fan of Umami!! I am always down for sushi and this gem popped up! I ordered the Hot Night and Popcorn Langoustine rolls. Both were fresh and made to perfection!! I decided to take my food to go, though you can dine in. This place does have ample seating and decent parking outside. However, would not recommend it for big groups. I definitely can't wait to go back and try more of their offerings...I see they have ramen and poke?! OMGGGGG! If you are looking for a great sushi spot, do yourself a favor and stop by Umami :)

So far Umami has the best Taro boba I've tasted, has a good flavor to it not to overpowered by powder. We ordered the Chiken Katsu curry, first of all very filling. Nice warm hearty meal, first time I've had Japanese curry definitely a must. Spider roll was the next item: fresh ingredients, nicely rolled, could have had a few more rolls but otherwise delicious. **it's a small hole in the wall spot, it's nicely tucked between a surplus store and a clothes alteration store, you will have to take a double look to find it**

The best POKE bowl I've ever tasted in my life. Highly recommend. My wife and I go here every time we come to Fayetteville North Carolina.

I love it here, they are so nice and the food is When I went there the first time I was alone and was unsure what to get and one of the guys helped me with the menu and gave me a refill on my milk tea

I ordered the Chicken Katsu Don and the flavors blew my mind. White rice topped with crispy Chicken Katsu and a sweet sauce, possibly teriyaki, egg, mushrooms, red peppers & grilled onions. One of, if not the best meal I had during my quick stay in Fayetteville. Definitely recommend and the customer service was on point.
