We went to the Cultural Corridor in Atlantic Beach today. First time here. It's a great little gathering of food trucks to get lunch as you do your Saturday things. This is the Umami Roll from Umami Food Truck. So good it'll make you slap U-mami. I'm sorry, I'll see myself out. The Umami roll is made with Tempura shrimp, mango, cream cheese, cucumber, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. That's some good sushi coming out of that truck. read more

It's an Umami food truck Hump day! Their grill combo menu is simple. Choose from hibachi, teriyaki, and Korean sauces with chicken, steak, and shrimp. You can also have the veggie combo if you prefer. For lunch, I had the Korean steak. This sauce has a nice combination of sweet, savory and spicy. Not too hot for my taste. It came with an eggroll (with shrimp sauce) and a small salad with ginger dressing. The food Umami serves reminds me of the Blazn Azn food truck and come to find out, Gus, the owner of Umami, used to own Blazn Azn. Friendly service. I wonder if they can have cucumber salad as a side? Nevertheless, I'm a fan of Umami and I hope they stop by Metro Square Office Park for lunch again! read more

Went to get the curry ramen and it was really good. Staff was friendly. Will probably return to try other options.

It's hard to believe that it's been almost 7 months since Chef Gus introduced his Umami Food Truck to Jacksonville! We've been and continue to be Chef Gus fans from his days with Bento, Blazin Azn and now Umami! What a glorious sight to see Chef Gus and his really Cool Black Umami Food Truck here at Greystone Park today! Absolute 5 star menu deliciousness and customer service!! I opted for one of my Umami Favorites - the Tuna Poke Bowl Chockfull of so many tasty ingredients including big chunks of Maguro Tuna; Mango, avocado, Wakame Salad, fresh cucumber slices, julienned carrots and fresh salad greens -- all atop a very generous serving of sticky rice! The drizzle of spicy mayo was a perfect compliment to the delicious flavor profiles in Chef Gus' Tuna Poke Bowl - serious flavor goodness here and the portions are truly generous! Umami earns these 5 star marks across the board! Can't say enough about this fantabulous Umami establishment - if you're in need of a delicious Asian food meal, look to Umami and Chef Gus to deliver supremely tasty goodness and food you are guaranteed to love! Highly highly recommend Umami and hope that you "get some" of this 5 star experience!! read more

During The Covid-19 lockdown, food trucks started appearing down the road from my house. I would see them and look them up. My husband and I saw the truck parked at the Church of Our Savior (something like that) but we were actually coming home from dinner and it was already too late. We had just talked about how we need to find some hibachi somewhere but we hadn't found anything open near by. We kept looking for them and the locations they were visiting and finally found that they were going to be at some apartment complex across town. Yes, we drove across town about 30 minutes from our house to try this food truck and I'm so glad we did! While we were waiting we spoke with the owner and told him we had been waiting for them to come back to our side of town. He was so nice and gave us a couple of extra egg rolls while we waited. They were so Yummy! For dinner, I ordered with Shrimp Hibachi. It came with an eggroll and a small salad. The shrimp were huge and the veggies were perfectly cooked. Such great flavor!!! I heard that they are starting a restaurant on San Jose which just so happens to be my side out town. I'm so excited to give their restaurant a try!!!! read more

Umami - Shrimp Hibachi - Food Trucks Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Our family of 5 all loves and craves Asian food, due to many years of travel and living in China, Guam, Japan, and the Seattle area. When we heard this food truck was coming to our neighborhood during this time of shutdown, we were excited because the food looked great. Little did we know!! Portions were ample, and the food was fresh and delicious, and presented really well. The fried rice, teriyaki steak, teriyaki chicken, hibachi shrimp, and sushi rolls were all amazing and devoured immediately. The meats were perfectly cooked, flavorful, with just enough sauce. The sushi was really well-presented, fresh, and just a welcome bit of comfort food. This meal is a Jacksonville favorite for all of us!! Made our week. Thank you! read more

Umami - Wish I took more photos, this is after we dished it all up! Teriyaki steak. It was cooked medium. Delish! - Food Trucks Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Definitely not worth the $11. It's lot of rice (no veggies even though it mentioned zucchini on the menu) and the steak is super tough and pretty salty. You'll need extra shrimp sauce to make it ok but that will set you back an extra 50 cents per tablespoon. Salad is shredded lettuce with a bit of ginger dressing. Rice looks like steamed rice with some food coloring. Egg roll is okayish. Not impressed with this one unfortunately. Total bummer on a Monday. **Updating** to say the owner was very expedient in reaching out to rectify. I will give them another shot when i see them again. read more

This is a great Food Truck to have for any company event! I'v used this trucked to cater for my warehouse and it was amazing! Gus has the best customer service and made sure everything went smoothing during serving time for our employees and very accommodating.

The landlord for our office building hosts Food Truck Fridays - it's a nice treat as there's not many decent places to eat close by. I first met the owner of Umami when he ran a different truck. I anxiously awaited their return in the rotation until one Friday where things were a little off. I came to learn that he had sold the truck & the new owners kept the name - but not all the flavors. Word quickly spread through the office and patronage suffered. When Umami showed up one Friday & I saw Gus' familiar face - I was very pleased. All of the flavors from the old truck and more had returned. Simple, fresh, tasty and affordable - everything you'd want from a food truck. I'm always certain to walk throughout the office and share the smells and sites of what they serve up. Eyes light up, mouths water & folks head out to get their own! On their last visit, I was presently surprised to find fellow Yelp Elite Richard H enjoying Umami - it was nice to catch up with him while enjoying some great eats! I'm glad they're a part of our regular line-up & I'll make sure to keep an eye out for where they might be next! read more

Delicious hibachi and sushi food truck has a new home on San Jose near Osaka. My boyfriend and I recently had dinner here and the sushi was outstanding. We've had the hibachi before but if you want to indulge in sushi then this is definitely the place to try. The edamame is not overly salted like most places and has an interesting yet flavorful seasoning. Normally, my boyfriend and I like to try 3 rolls each but the rolls were so big we were only able to try some of the specialty. Next time we will try the poke bowl and sushi burrito. read more

Decided to partake in some hibachi during Food truck Friday. I have an hour lunch break and I waited for 35 minutes in line. I ordered the 3 meat combo. The description says it for with stir fried zucchini, onions, fried rice and salad. $16.05 for that. Very disappointed no flavor and the rice was gummy. I literally ate one fork full. read more

This food truck! Oh wow! We got teriyaki shrimp, chicken and steak. All three were so delish and the perfect amount of food.

I will definitely be checking them out again when I see them around! read more

This food truck is by far one of the best ones in Jacksonville. The food was hot, well seasoned & everything tasted very authentic. In my opinion it was well worth the 13$ for the 2 meat plate. I got the Korean bbq chicken and shrimp. It's a little spicy but very well balanced. The salad was absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend to a friend or family & eat there again over and over lol GREAT JOB UMAMI & thank you for such an awesome meal! read more

Umami - Korean BBQ Chicken & shrimp plate w a veggie roll & ginger salad. A m a z i n g ! - Food Trucks Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

As some of the older elites here know I'm kind of drawn to food trucks. A lot of my friends have eaten here and loved it. I on the other hand have grown into a food snob. That's why I love food trucks. Cause the owner is somewhere inside 95% of the time. I went for their poke bowl on this trip to the court. (I normally hit 1-2-3 trucks) It was tasty with fresh tuna the cuts were all over the place. (insert food snob) I like good clean cuts the same size but it was fresh. The other parts of the bowl in which rice played the biggest roll was good. A little heavy on the soy but good. I will try it a few more times but I haven't seen it lately. read more

Comes with ginger dressing salad and avocado that i dont want it on my bowl, seaweed salad, mango, , cucumber slices, good amount of cut up crunchy warm deep fried shrimp, and drizzle of spicy mayo. The spicy mayo was perfect little kick to the meal. Garnish with green onions. And i added pickled jalapeño and drizzle of eel sauce. It was so good. I Can't wait to try their other item from the menu. read more

Umami - Shrimp tempura poke bowl - Food Trucks Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

At Umami off Loretto and San Jose Blvd. So much food for the price in this intimate dining space. I strongly advise to get the crab salad as an appetizer. It wakes up the palate for the rest of the meal. I was not adventurous tonight so I did California roll and baked krab salad. The rice was lightly dressed and tightly rolled. The miso soup was flavorful and not salty like most miso soups served in town. This is family run and very welcoming when you come in. Several regulars came in to do pick up. This is a wonderful gem and worth the drive. Masks in full use. Gus is the owner. $ read more

This place came by my job on our Food Truck Friday. I got the chicken and shrimp w/ Korean sauce. It came with a little side salad w/ ginger dressing and a delicious egg roll. It was amazing! The Korean sauce had the perfect amount of spice to it. Tons of chicken and the egg roll was to die for! Fresh ingredients and courteous service with a smile. Definitely try these guys out if you see their truck around. read more

Just had a Sushi Burrito for lunch today and all I gotta say is, "WOW!". Never had a sushi burrito before and I'm glad I had my first experience here. The owner is so wonderful and so is the staff!
