" I was truly impressed with my visit! The ambience felt authentic, reminiscent of small izakayas in Japan. Their kakuni ramen was delectable, and my friend loved the spicy tan tan men. Portions were generous, and we left feeling very satisfied. However, we did face a bit of a wait for our food, likely due to the popularity. I’m already planning my next visit to try their dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn’t enjoy my visit like others have. The gyozas were soggy and lacked seasoning, and the ramen was not as great as advertised. I found the service to be slow and the atmosphere was cramped. I may give it a second chance someday, but I’ll keep my expectations in check next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Japanese ramen, you must try UMA UMA! The broth is complex and flavorful, and the noodles have the right bite. The pork belly was a highlight for me. I enjoyed the small and cozy atmosphere, although it gets quite busy during dinner times. Service was nice, but don’t expect lightning-fast service, especially on weekends. The dining experience is well worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had dinner here last week. The ramen I ordered wasn’t up to par with some of the reviews I read. It lacked depth in flavor, and the texture was a bit mushy. The gyozas were decent but average. Service lagged a bit, and the ambiance felt too crowded. I might try it out again since I've heard such good things from others. " (*Curated Review*)

" An awesome experience! The atmosphere felt like a local izakaya, making it a perfect spot for ramen lovers. I ordered the spicy tan tan men, which was excellent. Service was friendly but could be improved in terms of speed. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend recommended UMA UMA, and it was just as good as he said! We had the ramen and some appetizers, and everything was fresh and delicious. The space felt cozy. The service could improve, as we waited a bit for the bill, but it didn’t detract from the overall experience. Looking forward to trying more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Japanese restaurants both in Japan and elsewhere but UMA UMA stands out. Their udon noodles were thicker and had the right amount of chewiness. The tonkatsu had a perfect crunch and the flavor was spot on. I do wish they had more seafood options on the menu but I understand they focus on ramen and other staples. Expect to wait, as it is a popular place, but it’s definitely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)
