    Was looking for a steak dinner in Old City. Never thought I’d find it at a Sushi place. One of the best steaks I’ve had. I had the 20oz Porterhouse which was outstanding. The wife had Sushi. The value for the quality of food is great. The service was excellent. Give this place a try. It doesn’t disappoint. I’ll be back. See you in 2 weeks.

    We had a great time at Umami Steak and Sushi bar last evening. Our server Alex was very attentive and ensured that all of our orders were correct. The food was simply amazing! Considering the fact that our reservation was late that still did not negatively impact the quality of food we received. Everything was fresh and very tasty! The presentation was great, the drinks had a nice kick to them as well! Some of our favorites from the evening were: Ribeye Steak (will be back for more 🤤), shrimp fried rice and the sushi. If you’re in the area definitely stop in and give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

    The Walter was so rude and the food wasn’t great. The place should be like a 3- star and not 4-star.

    The sushi bar at Umami is a hidden gem. You can chase clout at the trendy, popular sushi restaurants in this city, or you can go to the sushi bar at Umami and have a great experience as well. For the most authentic experience at the sushi bar, be sure to get the chefs choice 9 piece, 18 piece or omakase, skip the special maki rolls (save those for takeout or sitting at a normal table), that's not what a sushi counter is about. The sushi chef will deliver you fresh nigiri piece by piece.

    The steaks in our opinion were not worth 50 dollars.
