Umami Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Mole Valley

Umami is an excellent Japanese Restaurant in the heart of the town centre. The restaurant is nice and has recently been refurbished, the restaurant is nice and warm and the staff are immediately welcoming.

From the second you get in the door you are treated with care and attention and the staff are very knowledgeable of the menu. They were able to advise me dishes that did not have onions and also went out of their way to make a Sushi Platter for my pregnant wife. The Chicken Katsu Curry is delicious and was thoroughly enjoyed by myself. Although Sushi isn't my thing, I did have a try of it and it was pleasant and enjoyable. My wife however loved it and devoured every piece.

The restaurants staff are absolutely lovely and between the wonderful food and the friendly and attentive service, this is a must visit location in the town. Look forward to...

Very disappointing. Starters were not great. Spring rolls were soggy (we picked our takeaway up so it couldnt really be blamed on a long journey), I enjoyed the pan fried chicken gyoza's but my husband didnt like them at all. We also had crispy fried squid balls (takoyaki) which were delicious.

Main courses were terrible. One of us had chicken katsu curry and the other fish katsu curry. The fish and chicken were fine, but the katsu sauce was inedible. I dont know how to describe it, but the sauce was very heavy and just had an odd taste. May I suggest to the restaurant that they perhaps look at BBC Good Food web page where they have a "recipe called "next level chicken katsu curry". The sauce for this is light, tasty and fresh.....very very delicious! They could learn from BBC...

Food is yummy BUT the customer service isn’t great when I ordered it for collection it said 30mins so got there 30 mins after I order and they said it not quite ready and to take a seat which was fine it’s Friday night of course they are busy that’s understandable but there was people there after me getting there food which was annoying and after waiting 30 mins i asked how long my order going to be and they said one of their colleague is going to check but they never got back to me. 10-15 mins later finally got my food but there was no we are so sorry for the wait or thank you for waiting. Would love to eat there again but not if it means waiting an extra 40 mins without a sorry or thank...
