Umami Umami
Umami Umami is an intimate dining experience where food aficionados can go to enjoy sitting in a cozy downstairs sushi bar or ascend the grand staircase, admiring the beautiful crystal chandelier en route to the spacious yet intimate dining room.
Umami Umami is a family owned and operated restaurant: Inspired by the historical background of the building; the family was determined to restore the building to its former glory. Their dream was to reintroduce the former Dresher Inn to the community as a dynamic culinary experience blending Japanese and Korean cuisines. We are proud to have accomplished their goal and invite you to join us.

"Service was exceptional. We dined on a Saturday evening.
Food is delicious. We loved all the options of Japanese as well as Korean dishes. There is much to chose from and seems like a good mix. My wife loves sushi, I like it in spurts and like the option of other dishes outside tempura. Umami gives you many options. The portions are quite large so even though the price might seem high, you will have another meal in leftovers."

"The atmosphere is, potentially, romantic, but at our recent Saturday night dinner, virtually every table was families, with children. We had our children with us, as well, but mine were older than most of the very young kids at most of the tables, and it was a bit noisy with "kid noise." I'm not sure why there were not more couples or adults-only tables there, although it was still fairly early in the evening. The sushi is good, and attractively presented, and the service was fine."

"My wife and I started with the chuka ika (squid appetizer). This appetizer was fantastic! Kids got edamame and chicken gyoza. We also got the sashimi sampler. All the fish was extremely fresh. Pieces were good. Hwe dup bap was the main dish. Again the freshness of the fish made this dish. I should have asked for more gochuchang (hot sauce). The kids had bulgogi and tempura. The server forgot to bring the miso soup with the kids' meals. It wasn't missed. They both enjoyed their entrees. We went on a Sunday evening so things were pretty quiet. Also, it's ByOB on Sundays. Nice feature. Will definitely go back to try other Korean dishes."

"This was our first dinner there; we will definitely be back. The sushi/sashimi Little Tokyo combo was absolutely excellent; Sunday and Monday they have BYOB, which is a big plus. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience."

"My girlfriend and I ordered the volcano mussels and oyster shooters for appetizers. They were wonderful. Then we ordered three rolls for the main course. The Tower, Boom Boom, and I think something called the Oceanic. All were amazing. I believe their sushi is better than Blue Fin. They are a little more expensive than your standard sushi place, but the rolls are also bigger portions than normal. I'll have to go back again soon and try some of the other rolls. GREAT sushi place!"
