The food here was phenomenal — truly exceeded expectations. The only reason for four stars is that our server was handling the entire restaurant solo on a Friday night, which wasn’t fair to him. He was juggling takeout orders, bartending, and table service all at once. He remained incredibly personable throughout, but if I didn’t work in the industry myself, I might not have realized the situation and given the grace he absolutely deserved

Fully vegan

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

One of the best Thai places I've been to. The pineapple fried rice was hearty with fresh shrimp and chicken and cashews. Thai tea was perfect, and the rice paper spring rolls were fresh and crisp with a wonderful peanut sauce.

Umami is an excellent dining experience. Place is clean and the staff are quick and friendly. The sushi is fresh and light. The won ton soup is to murder for......(sorry Midwestern, soups are that important) and pricing is fair. Would be excellent for dates or business.
