Umami Dining — Restaurant in Hà Nội

To be honest, this is the first time I have ever felt so mad from dining in a restaurant like this. Everything was ok until I began to receive my second dish. This is where this whole annoyance kicked in.

I had a dish which they called it “chicken wings” (YES, with an ‘s’). I thought it was going to be the normal CHICKEN WINGS with at least two to three pieces of wings, since there is no further explanations of that dish written anywhere. In the reality that dish only contained ONE piece of chicken wink SKIN (there was not so much of the chicken meat itself either), stuffed with a bunch of idek what I should call it to be but am sure it has pork. Then charged 100k+ for it, (and that’s also them charging an extra +40k for the dish)??? ONE DAMN STUFFED CHICKEN WINK”S.” Please correct on your false naming or at least add some explanations bc this is so scamming. It should have been called as Pork Stuffed Wing instead.

There are people who do NOT eat red meat.

The main dish portion (I got a salmon don whatever it was), despite for its size, it is bland and tbh I have never felt so freaking mad like this. When I walked out, I was damn confused of what I just ate and paid for. The price is really ridiculous. Not planning to re-visit this place again

The only one plus thing that made up for the experience was the serving attitude. They were very polite and...

Used to be my favorite when they were just online. By favorite I mean all time favorite, solid top choice, you get the gist. Like my expectation wasn't high enough, they also seemed to put looots of effort into their physical dine-in place, and it was fully booked for days.

Such a let down though, even before we entered. Service: 2.5 The security staff just sit there with his umbrella though it was pouring when we parked and took off our raincoats. Waiters were a bit green but nice. The girl who seemed to be a manager was robotic and cold.

Ambience: 1/5 Extremely cramped and claustrophobic. We dined on the 1st floor, same room with their bar, and they played loud lofi trance music or whatever it was.

Food: 3/5 Salmon Leche: Salmon slice was kinda thin and not really fresh, overall flavor was nothing impressive. BBQ stuffed wings: Good, but not good enough to justify spending 135k on one chicken wing lol. Kanpachi: Love this, fresh and flavorful. BBQ iberico: Dry. Heck I make better pork jowl. The waiter was trying to sell how special it was, but well, they should be trained that iberico or jowl is not that special (even when combining both) Soba: Meh. Desserts and drinks: Despite my disappointment, I can be back just for this. Very very well done.

Price: 3/5 Not even full or satisfied at...

The quality and taste were not worth to the taste, at least to what I have ordered. The order of dishes being served were off, drinks came slow, oysters supposed to come first before the cooked dish but came way later. Heres the review of what I have ordered Edamame: super bland, will be better with more salt Salmon: yummy, rich, fresh Salmon taco: the mayonnaise was too empowering, not very pleasant Oyster: big but bland, nice sauce Rolls: all the rolls I ordered tasted flat, too much happening in each rolls which is not enjoyable to me Drinks: very nice, we got the oolong pineapple and the watermelon drinks Dessert: cheese cake and matcha tiramisu is fine

Overall I paid 1.9mil VND for 2 people, with the price I definitely expected more, also I think there are other better options in the same fusion/ Japanese criteria that can be enjoyed with that budget.

Staff were nice and attentive, cute...
