It was empty except 2 other people eating there. Smelled a little funny and wasn’t particularly an upscale ambiance - but these are certainly upscale prices! $9 for one bite-sized cod lettuce cup. It was yummy, but not out of this world. The spicy tuna on crispy rice was super-salty. I won’t be going back… :/

Cumulatively - price point, quantity and quality - it’s quite mediocre. You can get the same quality with more quantity (and more creativity) at less expensive places. There is nothing special nor gripping about it that makes you want to come back to experience again. Just meh. The best part of the experience was the service as everyone was very attentive. 10/10 for the team!

Made a reservation here for a birthday celebration and didn’t realize how small the restaurant was (only about twelve tables!). The food was exceptional, my favorite being the baked oyster ginger miso. We ordered the sea eel wappa sushi, several pieces of sushi, and oyster shooters. Definitely will be back to try more.

The food was subpar and overrated. I’ve seen a lot of comparisons to Nobu online but please don’t believe the hype. Fish quality wasn’t good. Service was horrible and the food wasn’t anything worth the “Nobu” prices. On top of that, the service was terrible even though we were the only ones dining there apart from one other couple. Waiters were rude and had no patience to answer questions and ambiance sucked.

Came with my daughter a few days ago and kept dreaming of the salmon carpaccio with miso and lemon olive oil flavors - amazing and addictive. Seared Cod in lettuce cups was another perfect, unique flavor. As is the baked crab on toasted rice (they also serve the classic soicy Tina version). Had to cone back on my own 3 days after my first visit!

Umeda is one of the best and genuine Japanese restaurants in LA. It's a Nobu experience but at Melrose. The service is wonderful and caring. The music is just right where you can dine and talk but at the same time there is music in the background. The restaurant gives you warm towels to clean up your hands just like in Japan. The best sake is here, the food is fresh and genuine to Japan. One of the best places to eat and drink.

My first visit to Umeda was a pleasant surprise. The elegant, contemporary decor and attentive staff set the tone. Our table of four was there for a pre-theater dinner. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifuly presented. I had several items like a delicious corn tempura, that I'd never had before and staff was open to preparing some requested rolls not on the menu.

Ok... this wasn't my first time at Umeda... I have grown to love this restaurant. First Off, the decor is simple, but elegant, and their glass floor entrance is beautiful... the service is always nice and helpful, and as a celiac, they make several of the dishes gluten-free for me. Their food is always FANTASTIC! The crispy Rice Tuna is possibly the best I've ever had (I can't stop eating it). The Scallops and Lentil Salsa was INSANE how good it is, and their chowder is heavenly. I can't recommend Umeda enough. 5 hearts! ♡♡♡♡♡
