UMAMI Ramen House Río Orinoco — Restaurant in Nuevo León

I will describe UMAMI Monterrey as follows.. Great Japanese food if you don't mind the place little "details" and I'm going to explain why.

First of all we started ordering some entries, a 6 pieces Gyozas soo delicious 😋😋 (be careful as are real hot) then, a Tori Karaage that is basically japanese style fried chicken and soaked on different sauces that makes completely the difference and we're just starting. Worth to mention that with two entries was good enough for the 3 of us, I mean at the end is just the entry.

Then Diana ordered if my mind isn't playing tricks, the Roka Poke and everything was crispy, very and richfully crispy. Then I asked for an UMAMI buns which seems that they mixed up a bit as it should be duck but they sent me a pork one. Anyways I love pork and loved the bread flavor.

Then Mía ordered a Miso 🍜 that was very good (my personal opinion on this I liked a ramen ordered at another UMAMI restaurant in Querétaro, look for my reviews and you'll find it) This one was great, despite that Diana and Mia didn't liked very the brisket, I did and never been a fan of that. One sad thing to say is that they ran out of Naruto at that time .. duh

And we ordered lemonade that was ok, Te de Matcha that was like meh and an Akira that was super 👍.

So far so good, tasty and delicious. Will definitely return to UMAMI Monterrey as there's still a variety of dishes to try on the menu.

And last but not least. The details I mentioned starting this review. Based on what I can saw, the restaurant is a location with probably 20 years and the air conditioning system isn't the best. There's this sense of humidity + cooking oil when entering the restaurant as the kitchen is right there, you can see what's cooking directly but the downside is that there's no good extraction of the kitchen odors. And lastly, the sofa couches are teared and most important, very dirty.

As always, this has been my personal impression of the place and food. If you got interested, don't hesitate and go check UMAMI...

Without a doubt one of the best Japanese food experiences i’ve had, and believe me i’ve had quite a few.

The service is just impeccable, they are always looking to help you, they are quick, effective and very kind.

The dishes are very well presented, and have a very good portion (ordering to the center is very recommended)

But the price can’t be ignored, we were 4 people, and the check was 550 MXN each with the tip included (15%). And for what it was, it’s really expensive.

But everything else is perfect, the bathrooms are in mint condition, parking is not really a problem at those hours (9-10 PM) and the place is well established and well...

Fue hace como 6 meses que fuimos, pero lo tengo como si fuera ayer, eramos solo mi mesa para atender NO había más comensales en el restaurante. Se tardaron un chingo en atendernos (20 minutos) y en traernos las bebidas. Y pues como nos dimos cuenta de que no nos querían atender pues ya teníamos listo lo que queríamos comer, (No nos ibamos a ir sin la expericia del Umami) entre las cosas que pedimos yo pedí Ribeye Poke que lo que no especifican de que animal ese Rib eye, la carne de ese platillo era un asco la carne se asemeja a la que te venden los chinos en los centros comerciales pellejuda con un sabor bien feo ( por eso les digo que lo tengo como si fuera ayer) mi plato dice que traía aguacate brocoli cebolla cruji, zanahoria la carne de gato o paloma, De los cuales sólo traia broccoli, le dije al mesero que yo pensaba que se equivocaron de plato porque yo pedí Rib eye con todo lo antes mencionado y me dijo que estaba bien, solo que no tenían aguacate, zanahoria, ni la cebolla cruji que porque se iban a tardar mucho y pues así sin mas ni más y mucho menos una disculpa me mandaron mucho a China con mi mamá, La carne de ahi, es un asco, es lo mismo que te venden los Chinos en los centros comerciales pero mucho mas barato. El lugar está muy obscuro, batalle mucho para llegar al baño. (Fuimos como a las 7pm no recuerdo si fue miércoles, jueves o viernes) estaban a en los últimos arreglos del Centrito Valle. Lo rescatable las Gyozas muy buenas y los refresco de la casa. Para el mugrero que comí esta exesivamente caro. Les quedo debiendo las fotos porque las perdí en otro celular 😞 Y el servicio...
