Umaya Izakaya

"Food is decent but I was a bit underwhelmed by the noodles in my vegetarian ramen. They were a bit rubbery but there were different from my friends, which seemed a bit better. We also tried the vegetable croquette which was pretty decent."

"My group of 8 people was able to get seated immediately without a reservation around 5 pm on a Sunday. Food was okay - I had the spicy miso ramen and was impressed by the amount in the serving. The broth was thick and a little salty. The charcoal-roasted chicken in the chicken ramen was delicious. Service was pretty slow and had to wave our hands around to order food and get our check."

"The food was pretty good! We both got the spicy chicken ramen, smaller than average size but not too small. We also got chicken gyoza, a California roll, and chicken karaage. All were tasty!"

"Chicken & dumplings were very good. Chicken fried rice was so delicious. The house sake was surprisingly smooth. I had it cold. Would definitely have it again. Our server was very attentive and I appreciated his pleasant nature. The place has some unique seating and a quiet atmosphere for conversation."

"Tried this place after a noon basketball game a couple months ago (far enough away from Capital One Arena that there was no wait to be seated). The food was solid, but not great. It's a rather large menu and I felt that everything we tried was a notch below other places that dedicate themselves to a certain category (just ramen, just sushi, etc). This probably isn't a bad option for large groups because they will have something for everyone."
