Had a lovely experience at Umami in Glasgow! The food was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented, but what really stood out was the staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and happy to help, which made the whole visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. They took the time to check in, give recommendations, and made us feel genuinely looked after. A great atmosphere with delicious Asian food and wonderful service — I’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend Umami to others.

The food here was sooo delicious! I normally dislike sushi but the sushi here was amazing and I was introduced to many new dishes! Furthermore, the staff were all very polite and friendly 🙂 they were very willing to answer any questions as well. I’ve been here multiple times and the food is always at the same high quality.

The best Japanese restaurant I’ve been to in Scotland so far. The staff were so attentive and so nice, they guided us through all the things in the menu. The food was absolutely amazing and such good value for money. Truly such an amazing experience, so glad we chose to have dinner here! Would highly recommend!

Class ! Friendly service , relaxed atmosphere and the good absolutely banging ! My missus loves raw fish sushi and myself not at all, however there’s lots of choice. The spicy beef ramen was excellent and for my good lady had the summer salmon roll which she loved. Leona who served us was lovey and attentive. Highly recommended.

Welcoming staff, lovely to hear Japanese chat from the kitchen, waitress with impeccable manners who even poured my soy sauce and told me what each part of my bento box consisted of, the freshest produce, decent price point and even lunch deals Mon-Fri 12-3. You can tell that the agedashi tofu had just been fried that minute, and the tempura was light and crunchy..all very fresh and beautifully presented. Seaweed had that bite to it which tells of the freshness too. Even the chop sticks had a very fine point to them so picking up your food was a breeze, unlike other places which have those thick round, cheap, slippery ones. The miso had branded bowls and ladle too, everything had been considered. I was growing so despondent at finding excellent Japanese in the city and now I’ve found it! A hidden gem and they deserve their success. I ate alone and felt very welcome and comforted, next time I’ll bring all my friends!

I would give 10 stars for food if I could . It took me longer while to try this place and now the only regret is I haven’t done it earlier. Food was amazing so fresh and tasty. The best one I had in Scotland . Now this is my favourite place for Sushi .

The vegetarian ramen broth needs some improvement as it was tasted quite watery unfortunately. It was missing the strong flavour you would expect with ramen. I had seen this previously in a review and I thought I’d try it for myself and I sadly I agree with them. However the staff were very friendly and the sushi was nice. I would dine again but would give the ramen a miss.

I’ve been telling people that this is one of the best sushi places in Glasgow. Super fresh ingredients. Some unique ones too, like sea urchin and raw scallops. They also do noodles too!

They do sushi cake !!
I made a special request of ordering a sushi cake for collection as a surprise for my partner’s birthday, and it was better than I imagined. I allowed them to have free creative will with the design. I have a photo to show this.
The staff were so kind and went above and beyond. Beautiful presentation, delicious fresh sushi, and they even included complimentary drinks, soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, and chopsticks.
The whole experience felt really special, even as a takeaway. I highly recommend this place for both the quality of food and the outstanding service.
