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).

Food is great. Service sucks. Sat down, waited 10 minutes…read morewith no interaction at all. Meanwhile the server in the section was making time with 2 ladies... visited their table 3x. Walked by me 2 tables down and on the way to wherever he was going 3x without even a glance at me. Asked the hostess for a waiter and was immediately visited by a different young man. Initially very attentive. Got my order in. Got my sushi roll. Soon after I got my entree (chicken katsu) ... but that's all I got. No rice, no salad, no miso soup. No service after that either. Another 15 minutes passes and finally the manager on duty passes by and asks if everything is ok. Well... no, it's not. Got a 50% discount, which is fitting since I only got 1/2 a meal. Might try it again... food was worthy of a 2nd visit. But the service is ridiculously below par. You can hear the waitstaff and other restaurant staff yapping it up in the kitchen having some lovely conversations... which means the patrons are being ignored

However, the 3 stars are for those things alone. I ordered the spicy garlic edamame and it was old and cold. I ordered filet mignon hibachi and the rice had so many of what I'm assuming are sesame seeds and it was so salty I couldn't eat it. The noodles had no flavor at all. Even the spicy mayo wasn't great. I literally took a couple of bites of each thing and threw it away. It simply wasn't worth eating. I probably should've given it just 2 stars but I truly appreciate the look and cleanliness of the restaurant and the kindness of the staff.

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.

It's a tiny place in a run-down retail center, and the decor is on the kitschy side, but don't let that put you off. It's spotlessly clean, and the owners are most hospitable. Definitely make a reservation since there are less than ten tables.

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

Maybe it was a bad night, but we were only one of three tables and I was just not at all satisfied with our server.

Now normally this would make me never want to dine in again, and I probably won't HOWEVER...those rolls though...if I have to order them to go I will. *All on soy paper* The Lafayette-crawfish and avocado deep fried with eel sauce and spicy mayo. This roll is damn good..I've never had a fried sushi roll, but so glad I had this one. It did not disappoint. White Spider-fried soft shell crab, cucumber and avocado topped with snow crab and spicy mayo and eel sauce. Probably my fave since soft shell crabs are my jam. I saved the best for last... Captain Crunch-crabmeat, avocado, tempura shrimp with fresh salmon rolled in flakes and topped with spicy mayo and eel sauce. It truly doesn't get better than the Captain Crunch and I'll be ordering this one over and over again. If you find yourself in Abbeville and want some Cajun sushi get yourself here.
