Went for a family birthday dinner; all 5 in the party enjoyed the food and experience. The service was great, we had a good time and the portions were so generous everyone left with a to-go box. I also lost a personal item at the restaurant and upon calling they looked for the item and held for me until it could be picked up the next day.

This is me and my daughter's favorite hibachi place and I decided to try some different items than my normal usual. The chicken lettuce wraps were pretty good, a little too salty for my liking but I'm glad that I did at least try it. The Volcano Roll was really good too. The service was nice, only issue was watching my drink sit at the bar a little too long for my liking. But the drink was good and I definitely only needed one lol. All in all love the place! 9/10 definitely recommended.

We were headed to Kanki and decided to visit Umami instead. The main reason was to avoid the hustle and bustle of Crabtree Mall parking. It was a great choice for my birthday dinner. The wait was short, the service was good and the food was flavorful. I will be returning to try some additional menu items. But the NC State and Eel and cucumber sushi rolls were delicious. We also had the Sunami entree. Everything was prepared to our liking. The ambience is great for celebrations and girls/guys night out. You can even do a first date here if you don't want to be overly intimate and forced to talk to just one person. Others will be at the table with you. LOL! Another plus is that they offer Sapporo beer! Happy eating!

Great experience at the restaurant! Headed for a birthday and the child deemed it better than Christmas! He said it's a sensory overload in a good way. Our chef was on top of it all and had a great demeanor. The food was delish and the sushi top notch! We will be back!!!

Im not sure why it took me so long to write a review for them but this is by far THE BEST HIBACHI IN RALEIGH! I have been here numerous times and it's consistently delicious! It doesn't matter what you get it's fresh and delicious! Today we tried the crab wonton (wonton Umami) it was crisp and flavorful! If you are craving hibachi this is the only place to go!

We were looking for a place to have dinner for a birthday but we didn't want the celebration part...we opted for hibachi. We were seated fairly quickly with another family and a server came to our table to get drink and appetizer orders while we looked over the menu. They have your standard hibachi items and I did appreciate them telling you the prices of sharing, adding additional meats, etc. We did order an appetizer and it never came. Which is ok (I think I paid for it as well and was in such a food coma that I just didn't even realize it until we left) There is a lot of food, I had the couples meal with my husband and I could barely eat half of it. They apparently know this because they bring boxes for you to take the leftovers home. The service was good, not too much fanfare as the schtick is pretty much the same at every hibachi place. I will say they might need more humidifiers because the floor is slick with what I assume is oil from all the cooking.
