Ume Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Allentown

Ume is a cool, wide open Asian fusion restaurant with one happening bar scene. It's a the heart of Allentown's downtown and is a great spot to launch one's evening.

Service seems to be a team effort and my girlfriend and I were happy. The place was busy on a Tuesday night, but we never felt abandoned and our food arrived right when we needed it to do so.

My girlfriend order the chicken teriyaki and a mango martini — she loved both. The chicken was tender, hot, and must have taken half the dish home.

I enjoyed their sake flight (if the sake wasn't from Sango Kura in Delaware Gap, I'd be shocked). The sake was amazing — especially the taru option, which is naturally cedar flavored.

The yellowtail and jalapeno appetizer was wonderful, with thick, fresh cuts of fish. I also enjoyed two of their signature rolls as well as salmon roe sushi.

We look forward to returning. I cannot to try their sushi and sashimi platter, which is the real mark of a quality sushi bar. So this rating...

Everything about this restaurant is fab! From the moment we walked in the door, ate, to leaving—we had an amazing experience.

The service was beyond reproach, food was exceptional—the recommendation of the Dragon Roll was SPOT ON! The amount of raw sushi inside and out was absolutely delicious. Each dish we had was beautifully prepared and delicious.

On top of the food and service, everyone within the restaurant were beyond friendly and kind. Not only to us, but we could see it at each interaction in the restaurant.

It’s clearly a core value within Ume to provide exceptional experience and ensure you leave happy. We cannot wait to come back—this is a true gem...

I had the pleasure of trying Ume tonight and my experience was absolutely wonderful! The restaurant itself was spacious, clean, and had a great atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly.

FOOD: The skewers were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Schezuan dumplings had the right amount of spice. We got the "Sushi Mix" combo and it was perfect to share for 2 people. The sushi was very fresh and beautifully decorated. The peppered steak entree was SOOOOO good that I could not stop raving about it. I would 1000% come back and try other dishes...
