Umami

Learned about this place from an acquaintance and now I come here once a week. At first it was because it's close to the UoM library but now it's because of a desire for comfort food. It's a wonderful place with great food and nice people. Although I think the food quality justifies the price tag, try going there during lunch hours if you want to get the most bang for your bucks. They rotate the lunch menu but there's always something great on it.

Fried rice and fried tofu are quite tasty. Curry is also nice. Ramen on the other hand is not so agreeable, and I wouldnt recommend ordering beverages here. Servers are pretty nice, and the restaurant itself is clean and organized.

Umami is such an intriguing restaurant as the view from before you enter the restaurant and when you are in it does vary accordingly. You would not expect such a nice atmosphere as to when you enter the restaurant. Tables are set evenly with maximum space which allows room for movement. Unlike many restaurants where space is prohibited as they try to maximise every space possible for customers. The music was in the perfect level. You would be able to talk and catch up with your friends and peers. The seating however appears to be too low. I had to lift my arms up slightly to eat. In terms of the food, we ordered two Ramens. I ordered the Char Siu Ramen and my dad ordered the Chili Beef Ramen. Both Ramens were amazing and would be highly recommended. The pork from Char Siu Ramen was very distinct and savoury. There was however an uneven amount of noodles between the two Ramen as the Char Siu Ramen appeared to have more volume. The temperature of the ramen was also recognisable as it does not appear to be as hot/warm as expected. Overall, it's not the most exceptional ramen spot out there, but it's a decent option if you're in the area and in the mood for a quick meal!
