UMAMI 金色三麥 — Restaurant in Xinyi District

Perhaps I got lucky, but I was pretty happy with the pasta, risotto, pizza, and appetizers we ordered. Ambiance of the venue is very nice, with excellent cleanliness. Lady who was singing had a good voice and did a good job with live performance.

As other comments have mentioned, they can improve on operations. Same dishes came out at different times, and some fairly delayed; this will hopefully be improved upon.

Verdict: worth going, but perhaps go 2 months from now when they have optimized their pricing, portions, and operations for improved dining experience.

To the manager(s) reading this, some thoughts and suggestions from us: Lamb should have option to not be fully cooked (we were informed that all lamb orders are fully cooked to reduce gamey taste, but that's perhaps a matter of personal preference for someone who orders lamb exactly for that taste) Portion for burger was too small. Paying more is okay, but portion needs to be increased, especially for items labeled under the "main course" section. Also, menu mentioned "green salad" (or something like that) that comes with the burger, but most of the salad consists of onions (far from green) and seemed more as a topping for the burger than salad.

Taiwanese Mullet Roe Pizza ($420): They tasted quite crusty and flavourful. The mullet roe actually went so delicious in pizza. However, I was confused while eating the pizza because it tasted weird with the pizza. I asked the staff what it was because it was NOT listed on the menu and he told me it was apple and there were a lot of them inside. But after knowing that, it actually tasted better when I wasn’t thinking in a negative way.

Latte Ice Cream with Sea Salt ($220): The staff would tell you to pour the coffee into the cup and it ended up with a creamy, amazing and a bit bitter as well because of the coffee beans.

In conclusion, the atmosphere was quite dark at night and you could see the Taipei 101 and Grand Hyatt through the window. I wondered how the view and the vibe would be in a day but the prices were quite high. Overall, it was an 8.5 out of 10!

FYI, 10% cleaning fee will be charged...

What a great restaurant. Loved it. Located on the 7th floor in Breeze Nanshan, great vibes and atmosphere. Cozy and quiet. Different from what I unexpected though. While UMAMI 金色三麥 chain has several locations this one sure is on a higher scale than the other ones I visited. Menu was quite different as well. Dishes were nicely presented an delicious except for the pork chop I ordered was too dry for me. Overall not pricey considering location and service you get. Definitely recommended for family/friends events and perfect for business dinner, dating, etc. Cheers.

ps There was live music by a guitar singer started around 6:30pm when we were there on a Friday evening. It was kind of refreshing. Not sure if it was daily thing or...
