Umami Tavern – Braselton Stopped in on a whim and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The menu is huge—six full pages of sushi rolls alone, plus ramen, rice dishes, udon, lo mein, and plenty more. The drink selection is just as impressive, with beer, wine, sake, a variety of teas, and other options. We only tried three items this visit, but we’ll definitely be back to explore more. Pimp Daddy Roll: Shrimp tempura and cream cheese, topped with avocado, spicy imitation crab, eel sauce, and crunch. This roll was made fresh and really delivered—crispy tempura, sweet eel sauce, and great texture throughout. Fantastic. Crab Rangoon: Fresh, hot, and a step above your typical Chinese takeout version. The sauce was especially good—more like a sweet chili sauce rather than the usual overly sweet red sauce. Shrimp Fried Rice: A solid, well-executed classic. The shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked, the rice was tender and well-seasoned, and it included fresh vegetables and scallions. Simple and satisfying. Overall, a great first visit with lots of promise. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

The ramen is perfect and full of toppings, the bentos are full of flavor and variety, the servers are always very patient and kind, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. It's everything you could want for a nice outing or date. Also, the cheesecake tempura is my favorite dessert. I definitely recommend that anyone who stops by tries it at least once.

First time here. Service was impeccable. Server was very sweet and patient. The California rolls was just ok. I've had better. It was missing something. The vegan ramen was pretty tasty. Restroom was really clean and that says alot about this establishment. We will be back
