Umai is a small mom & pop ramen house with good ramen and great service.
Umai service & ambiance: The dining area is like a long skinny rectangular shape with moveable seats and tables. Along the walls are some cool cartoon murals for decor. Dark wood and plants are seen throughout the dining area. The service was fantastic as two servers were checking on me throughout my quick visit. My water was always filled and the kitchen got my ramen bowl to me quickly.
Umai Ramen: I had the Black Garlic Ramen spicy and it was tasty. The broth was savory and they were very generous with the chasu and especially the noodles.

The creamy melding of the noodles and sauce make the Mazemen something truly special. I ordered this dish once by mistake and was pleasantly surprised. We'll be back....
