Fantastic little gem of a place! I came here for restaurant week with my friend and we both agreed we can’t believe we’ve never been here before. Very nice environment inside as you step down into the restaurant. The service was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was great, of course. I got the salmon tartare, the NY strip steak, and the mango ice cream and mochi for dessert.

I tried their Omakase in a group setting, we had a private room and shared plates, so it was a bit different from the smaller group experience. I believe they take reservations for Omakase only. You can also order from their regular à la carte menu as well.

Out of all the dishes, the most memorable ones for me were the fish liver since it’s not a common ingredient, and the mini squids, both of which were delicious. Other than those, I think most of what we had are also available on the regular menu. The chef also came out to prepare hand rolls for us in person, making sure the seaweed stay ed crisp and fresh as we ate.

Went for restaurant week for 2. Sat at the bar. Fresh/flavorful fish and good selection of beer. Friendly and good service from Alex, tito, and Kenny. Would love to come back.

Very good food and service. Our server, Alex, knew the menu very well and was able to explain all items we had questions about. My fiancee has a lot of food allergies, and they were able to accommodate them very well.

Just had the most incredible omakase in Philly! The chef is a true artist—every piece of nigiri was perfectly crafted and exploded with flavor. You can really feel his passion and skill. To top it off, the manager was incredibly welcoming and kind, which made the whole evening feel special. This place is a gem. I will definitely be coming back again soon!

Hidden Gem Worth Discovering – Umami Steak & Sushi Bar

A friend was visiting and suggested we try Umami Steak & Sushi Bar—a spot I’d never heard of, surprisingly tucked away in the basement at 7th & Walnut. I must have walked past it countless times without noticing, but I’m glad we gave it a shot. Six of us went in with open minds and left completely impressed.

The verdict: the food was excellent—we’ll definitely be back and happily recommend it to others.

We sampled a wide range of dishes, and here’s what stood out:
• Karaage – crispy and flavorful
• Mini Black Cod – surprisingly good for a small plate
• Grilled Eggplant – another pleasant surprise, deeply savory
• Salmon Tartare – a favorite of the table
• Coconut Shrimp Roll – another favorite, unique and delicious
• Spider Roll – solid, though a bit expected
• Tuna Avocado Roll – more of a basic filler
• Surf & Turf Special – not a fan; lacked cohesion and overpriced at $35
• Koji-Aged Ribeye – incredibly juicy and flavorful
• Koji-Aged NY Strip – tender and delicious, a standout steak
• Pan-Seared Salmon – well-cooked and nicely plated

One of the highlights: when you order steak, the chef brings it tableside and slices it in front of you. Great presentation and service touch. The steaks were served with wasabi mashed potatoes—an unexpectedly perfect pairing.

Final takeaway: Umami is a hidden gem worth checking out. If you enjoy creative sushi and top-quality steak, this spot delivers.

I adore this place. It’s such a relaxing environment, the staff are so lovely and already feel like old friends. The food is consistently amazing; quite possibly the best sushi I’ve had in the US.

Fresh fish, perfect steak, and the friendliest staff — a must-try! My boyfriend finally brought me to his favorite sushi + steak spot and wow, I get it now! We were greeted so warmly by Alex and sat at the sushi bar—definitely recommend reservations just in case if you’re coming during peak hours. The 18-course omakase by Chef Kenny was incredible, every piece of fish was perfect, and the porterhouse steak (flamed and cut right in front of us) was cooked to perfection. Add in plum wine, green tea ice cream, friendly staff, and a great vibe… easily one of the best meals I’ve had. This is definitely our go to sushi and/or steak spot. We’ll absolutely be back!

Umami has now become my standard for what a great sushi restaurant should be. We had had early reservations for 4 on a Friday, but we really wouldn’t have needed them this early. But it started picking up by the time we left. By luck, the manager, Alex, was also our waiter as we had arrived 5 minutes before opening. He was wonderful and very informative.
The fish was fresh, abundant and varied. I had ordered the Chef’s chirashi (see pic). There was so much fish, I could not find the rice. I had also ordered two pieces of sashimi that I can’t get at most places – hotate (scallop) and ebi (raw shrimp). Surprisingly, the chirashi also contained each of these! My wife and son had fantastic rolls the were packed with fish. We started with appetizers (calamari, pork gyoza, and edamame) that were delicious as well. There is full bar service, but only one draft selection (Sapporo). I opted for a Hitochino White ale that was similar to Alligash (also available.)
SIL had the ginger ice cream creme brulee. Oishii!
While we didn’t do steak, there were many in the restaurant that had table-side prep of various steak cuts. A Wagyu A5 is also available.
Our next visit will be for the Omakase that Alex said had 18 offerings from the chef. Can’t wait.
While they have been open for 3 years, I predict that they will be a culinary fixture for many years.
