    The water was very short with my group. We felt very rushed and he often spoke to us before even getting to our table

    Super tasty sushi and great service. I am gluten free and have a couple other food allergies. Shoutout to our waiter, Alex (I think!), who was able to tweak several dishes for me. I felt safe eating here AND enjoyed the food, which can sometimes be a trade off. This is NOT a BYO as some local blogs and articles have mis-tagged as. I did not see any mention of a bar or drinks on OpenTable or their website, so I called ahead. They have a full bar and our cocktails were excellent. I hope in time they add to their wine offerings as it was a bit limited. For our party of two, the tables were spread out just enough that you didn't feel like you were dining with your neighbors. I appreciated that the two-tops were longer, easily accommodating the amount of plates that tend accumulate on the table when dining out for sushi. Everything we had was excellent and it was a great value. Hoping to go back soon for the Omakase!

    Umami Steak and Sushi Bar was a great spot for a quick business lunch in the Old City neighborhood. Enter on Walnut Street and take a short flight of stairs down to the basement restaurant. Though service was a bit hurried/terse and the menu on the pricier side, the food was terrific: some of the best pork I've had in a bowl of ramen--incredibly tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the ramen bowl's flavor bomb and, though not marinated, the soft-boiled egg was great. Some ramen-shop style table options (e.g., sesame seeds, pepper powder) would've brought it over the top. The specialty sushi rolls my dining companion ate also received rave reviews.
