    Cute lil spot, with friendly and helpful staff at the counter. You have to place the order at the counter and your given a number stand which you place on your table. I'm guessing everything is prepped and ready to heat up on the skillet because our food was done literally in about 10 min. I'm not a big soup person but I've had some fresh, tasty noodle soups in the past and down to try other places. I honestly prefer to wait for fresh food. This to me was like a quick to go spot or compared to a Chinese food spot, just ok. My kids soup was salty, the wontons were super crispy and the edamame wonton was ok but preferred if I had to choose from the 3. My husband did enjoy his spicy shrimp ramen soup .

    This was such a good stop. We were going to mellow mushroom and saw this place on the way and decided to go here instead to try it out and I have no regrets! The food was so yummy and reasonably priced. The woman who works up front was super nice and helpful, she made the experience even better. I know it looks unassuming from the outside but it's such a good place, if I came this way regularly, I would be coming here regularly. Also LOVED the kimchi and the rangoons yay.

    This place smells like rotten fish. Rude staff. Filthy floors. Gross. The health department obviously hasn't been by here in a long while.

    Spicy Miso Ramen w/shrimp
    Alaric D.

    This place has a home feeling from the moment you walk in the door. The day after Hurricane Helene cleared, it was a mission to find open establishments due to the power outages and damage. Thankfully Umami was open and so glad too be cause the food was delicious. I ordered the spicy miso ramen with shrimp. Warning! Bib yourself if you have on a light colored shirt/outfit. I slurped all over the place and learned the hard way, haha. It was so worth it though. Also, just must say, one of the staff who appeared to be the owner walked around the restaurant greeting everyone and she was super nice! Will definitely find my way back here when I visit Savannah.

    Umami Noodle Bar is a great local restaurant that serves DELICIOUS PHO! I am pretty picky with pho, and I absolutely LOVED the broth. The broth was well flavored and not salty at all! It was perfect. The portion was pretty small and I wish it was more, but I think it was fair since the pho is only $12. The inside is really cute! Very well decorated and unique. The chalk wall is cool! Also, they operate as like an order before sitting as well as sit and then order! Both work! Cute spot and will return!

    Veggie ramen
    Andy G.

    Eh. I ordered the veggie ramen with tofu. The portion size was small. Customer service was just okay. The crab Rangoon was not good. It had a weird plastic taste to it. It's a bit tight and cramped inside. I have had much better ramen elsewhere. If go vac I would try something else because this wasn't that great.

    Drunken Noodle

    I came here alone once and had a good experience. My husband and I just moved to the area, so I've been asking him to try this place in hopes that it would become a go-to spot for us. Tonight we ordered the drunken noodle dish with chicken, which the menu said came with cabbage, carrots, zucchini, bean sprouts, and scallions. When we opened our takeout boxes, we saw that there were a couple scallions, a couple pieces of onion, and no other vegetables. I ended up cutting and stir frying vegetables we had at home, which isn't what you want to do when you order takeout. The dishes were also bland. It's hard to tell from the picture, but this is also less food than you'd normally get from similar places. I can never finish takeout meals in one sitting, and I ate my entire dish with no problem. This meal simply wasn't worth $30. This was a bad first impression for my husband, and I don't blame him for not wanting to go back.

    The food was great and came out relatively fast and the employees were pretty nice which gives the place a cozy atmosphere

    Pho with Flank Steak and Siracha
    Anna V.

    Firstly, calling and putting my order in was so wonderful. The lady on the phone was so kind and informative. When I sat down with my takeout the Smell of my Pho was Such a delight! I was So excited. It was a Delicious pho, hot, ready, and they even had Sriracha in the bag (wonderful!). Now, the crab wontons were Not my favorite. A bit too much breading and not enough of the good stuff. Yet, I won't take an Entire point away from this review since I Still ate them and the Pho made up for the little disappointment I felt over the crab wantons. I Mean! Delicious Pho. I had a a craving and to get that checked off my list during my travel made me a happy gal. Perfect for a cold night. Highly recommend

We ordered beef and broccoli, sweet-and-sour chicken, pan-fried noodles with beef, egg drop soup and sticky buns. The service itself was good: we were seated quickly, drinks came right away, and our server checked on us multiple times. No complaints there. That said, the food was where things fell short. The portions were noticeably smaller than the Savannah location. The beef in both the beef and broccoli and the pan-fried noodles was very chewy, which took away from the overall experience. The sweet-and-sour chicken was a bit overcooked and crunchy--still edible, but not great. The pan-fried noodles had good flavor, but again, the chewy beef was an issue. Initially, they brought me the wrong soup kind of debated me for a moment telling me it was the right one, but it wasn't. They correct the right one though after a longer conversation. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and clean. Lots of cherry blossom decorations on the ceiling make it feel warm. It was clean and did not smell bad. Our total came out to about $86 with tip, which isn't bad price-wise, but for the quality and portion size, it didn't feel worth it compared to the other location. Overall, it's okay, but definitely a step down. If I'm craving E Tang, I'd skip this Pooler spot and go back to the original Savannah location instead.

When you go inside, you are immediately greeted, they also have very Japanese style gocha gocha machines in the back behind the counter. I'm not sure if they're functional or not, but it definitely added to the esthetic. They also had Crane machines to give it a Japanese game center vibe, but it was still rather cohesive. The decorations were great and the ambiance is great. There were kokeshi dolls, Japanese dolls, swords but all tastefully displayed. The setting was very exciting and very clean. Everyone wore uniforms, whether it be a embroidered yukata top or an apron. They looked very cute and very reminiscent of what you would come across in Japan. Service was excellent from beginning to end The food was delicious. Albeit, the selection is not as vast, but the quality was good. I've already accepted the fact that a lot of Japanese restaurants here are owned and operated by Chinese or Taiwanese people and they will have random non-Japanese food on the menu not traditionally served at a sushi restaurant, but you can see that this place definitely respected the culture and added a hint of theirs without straying far away from Japanese cuisine. We also had a very delicious sake that had grits of rice in it, and it was very interesting, very good, but also very strong. My husband and I had to share a bottle. I absolutely loved the kinako mochi with condensed milk. I never thought to put condensed milk on kinako so I would go for that again! My only negative about this place is the bathroom. Incredibly small and not as neat compared to the rest of the restaurant. I feel like the bill for 2 was quite fair considering the experience that we had and the food and service that we received. I will definitely recommend this place and I will definitely come again.

I will review that restaurant under separate cover, but just know that when comparing this one to Persis, I would rate Naan Appetit as the better restaurant. But ultimately they are two different experiences within the Indian food category and for that reason are very hard to compare (more on that in the Persis review). But now let's talk about Naan Appetit. So what I really like about this restaurant is the value for the ambience and atmosphere. This is a very nicely appointed restaurant that I actually thought was a furniture store before we realized it was an actual restaurant. Very well appointed well designed and upscale in look, feel and function. Service is very strong with multiple servers and front of house greeting you immediately upon entry. We were seated within 3 to 5 minutes of walking in, and this was on a Friday night with a fairly full house. Once we were seated, our server immediately came over, provided us with menus and gave us a bit of information about the restaurant. We then proceed to ask a couple of questions about level of spice, and were really pleased with the servers descriptions of the various items on the menu and which ones we may or may not want to avoid depending on our spice level preference. I really appreciated the way the menu was set up which allowed for fairly easy decision making when it came to what we wanted to order. We went with mostly traditional entrees, ordering the lamb vindaloo, and the korma. Both were authentic and very well seasoned and spiced. We also ordered a couple of the garlic butter Naan bread, which were also really good. And lastly, we tried out the tandoori wings, which I had read on previous Yelp reviews were a highlight of the restaurant. When we first asked the server about them, he seemed a bit reluctant to recommend them because of the time it would take for them to be delivered to our table, which was approximately 30 minutes. We told him we weren't in a rush and didn't have anywhere else to be so we were totally fine with ordering them. It turns out that they ended up coming to the table before our appetizers even made it. So a bit of an overblown concern there. Outside of that little wrinkle, our overall experience was really pleasurable, especially given the sub $100 price point we paid including tip. This is definitely one of the restaurants we will be going to during our stay here in Savannah. And if I had to give the best advice on the difference between this restaurant and the other, I would say pick this for date night and pick the other one for family night.
