" It was my first time at Umami Bowls and I came in with high expectations based on the reviews. While I appreciated the clean and welcoming atmosphere, the food was just average. I tried the sushi burrito and felt that it lacked the punch I was hoping for – the flavors didn’t really pop. Service was superb, though, and I could tell that they wanted to do right by the customers, which I respect. I may return to try dishes like the ramen that others rave about! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful meal at Umami Bowls last week. The ramen was hearty, and the broth was rich in flavor—definitely some of the best I’ve had. The decor is simple but has a warm, inviting feel, making it great for both couples and families. The staff checked in on us frequently, ensuring everything was satisfactory. It’s comforting to see such genuine service! I’ll be spreading the word. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, my friends and I went to Umami Bowls, and it was just perfect! We were greeted warmly by staff and seated immediately. We started with a couple of appetizers, including the gyoza, which were delicious. For mains, we all went for different types of ramen. I had the Tonkotsu, and oh my god—it was incredibly tasty! Rich, flavorful broth and the noodles were just right. We left feeling satisfied and can't wait to come back. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The poke bowl was fresh and colorful! I was impressed by the wide selection of toppings available. The staff took detailed care in preparing my order, ensuring each ingredient was to my liking. I appreciate that they take the time to personalize the dish. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere that feels well cared for, though it could get busy during peak hours. Overall, a delightful place! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic spot for Japanese food! I visited with my partner and we enjoyed every bite. We ordered the spicy miso ramen and the fried chicken. The flavor combinations were amazing and everything tasted so fresh. A special mention to the service – extremely friendly and attentive. The only downside was the lack of seating, as it can fill up fast during peak times. But if you can get a seat, it's definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Umami Bowls is a refreshing addition to the local food scene! The place has charm and character, and the food is above average. I had the tonkotu ramen, and it was packed with flavor; the noodles were perfectly cooked! Just a bit noisy during peak hours, but that’s understandable. Definitely will return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited Umami Bowls for the first time: what a treat! The flavors in the ramen were incredible. The broth had a depth that made it stand out from other places. My friend ordered the clay pot rice and really enjoyed it too! The service was attentive without being intrusive. I left feeling happy and full. Can't recommend it enough if you’re in the area!
