Umaii Ramenbar Dresden — Restaurant in Dresden

Came because of the new Café menu and it was less than average. First let's do the positive: super nice staff, I was there around 12, quick service and open communication. The ambiance inside looked nice as well.

Now the lesser positive: the food and drinks I'm no stranger to Umaii as I've visited twice before and their broth just lacks of flavor as well as the combinations of ingredients aren't optimized. There's that.

Now with the Café menu I was actually a bit excited but when my matcha latte was served the excitement left in an instant. I haven't drank this bad of a matcha in any store in Dresden. I think it's comparable to if I was to look for a really good cup of coffee and expect the 1€ Lidl machine to do the work. It was wayyyy to clumpy and had a weird matcha-milk ratio. My "hot" matcha also served in a glass. 2/10 Then I had the tamago sando. Oh boy... If you've ever had japanese style egg sandwiches, they come in 2 versions. Either savory sweet or savory only. So the sweeter taste of the toast didn't bother me. What bothered me was the chopped in scallion and the added greens in a savory sweet tamago sando... Feels like noone taste-tested it. It was not inedible, it was just below the average. So 3.5/10

They had a 50% "opening" special for today and I still wish I had...

Clean looking ramen restaurant. Menu looks very promising and service from the start is very good (fast seating and delivery of ordered drinks). Their lemonade is really refreshing and good. Ramen lack depth in broth and the shrimp ramen (3 shrimp on the menu picure) does indeed come with just 3 shrimp. It's not false advertised, but a bit lacking for shrimp ramen. The taste of the shrimp was quite good but the rest of the ingredients lacked some bite and cohesion when it comes to ramen. Both the shrimp and duck ramen come with a broth that is quite heavy peanut flavoured. Kinda reminds me of Indonesion peanut soup. Anyway, after the main courses were served, the service fell completely short: we were not asked for new drinks when our glasses were empty and (pre made) desserts took 25 minutes to serve. We were completely ignored when we wanted to pay even though the place was only 1/3rd full. So, good start, medium noodle experience and unfortunately a bad ending. I hope the lack of service in the end was incidentally. The menu we had was decently priced with ok gyozas and an adequate dessert. When it comes to ramen however, depth of broth and more protein are the letdown here... The competitors are way better in that front. A one time...

Normally, I only write good reviews to the restaurants where I've been but today I'll write a negative one.. We went there today to eat around 2pm and the service was terrible from this so called "Boss".. First off, a friend of ours asked if there is an alternate sauce for some buns she ordered because she is allergic from an ingredient in the original sauce and this so called "boss" is right off the bat arrogant in answering. The taste of the food is also not appropriate with the price especially the Ramen, the Lemonade also taste sadly more as ice water instead of the advertised Lemonade. After eating, I tried asking this so called "Boss" (who is the ENTIRE time dawdling on his private mobile phone) for the bill and he just looked at me blankly and went back to enjoying his Handy. WE WAITED 15 MINUTES JUST TO PAY THE BILL EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE LESS THEN 6 TABLES OCCUPIED BY CUSTOMERS! To this so called "Boss" of this Restaurant, if you don't have any motivation catering to customers, do yourself a favor...
