Umigame Japanese Kitchen — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Came in yesterday evening expecting nothing less than the very best that I normally have experienced at this restaurant. However last night was a not so pleasant experience. Our waitress “Ayumi” was pretty rude overall. She took our order and never came back to our table to see how we were doing. She completely ignored us and had a rbf expression on her face every time she looked in our direction. I wound up speaking to the owner who apologized for the rudeness of Ayumi. He was gracious and offered to comp our next visit. I respectfully declined a free meal. I let him know that I appreciate the gesture but it would be much better to retrain his rude employee as having people work for you that are rude can be harmful to a business! You can lose a good customer as well as many future referrals. Employees and the expressions they wear can make or break an experience that people have in your restaurant. Ayumi, you really should do better! I still would come back again and hopefully it will be a better experience than tonight. The food is still very good and the rest of the staff...

My son and I dropped in to have some Ramen and sushi since this place is down the street from our house.

Service was horrible, I kept having to look over to find a waiter to ask for stuff. I ordered the Yellow tail carpaccio and the lime yellowtail roll. The carpaccio was a decent portion but the roll that was supposed to be topped with yellowtail was suuuuper sad. The slices of yellowtail that went on top were probably the thinnest sashimi I have ever seen and the rest was just stuffed with spicy tuna. For the $18 they charged it was not worth it. I could have paid for a spicy tuna roll and it would have been cheaper cause the yellowtail was non existent anyways.

Lastly, we never got asked if we wanted water refills until I was signing the receipt. A bit late don’t you think?

Really wanted to like this place but I wouldn’t come back. The place itself looks very cute and...

Got together with some friends who haven't seen each other in a while. We picked this sushi spot because it was half way point for us. Small spot with maybe 12 tables inside. Nice street side seating as well. Our table was up front by the glass so we could see the street action. We got there just before 3 pm. Perfect because it wasn't crowded or too busy. Started with a shared bottle of Kikusui Sake and four appetizers. Jalapeño poppers Yellowtail carppacio Spicy tuna crispy rice Albacore & Crispy onion. All three were delicious. Five different sushi next. My favorite was the Truffle unagi roll. Next was the Lime yellowtail roll, we got another order. Also good were the Spider roll, Dynamite roll, and Lobster crunch roll. Each of the dishes was flavorful and fresh. Overall, great value, great flavors. We had a really good time. Recommend visiting....
