Umami - Manchester

Booked a table for 2 on 04/12 planned a trip to Manchester around said booking and only when turning up could I see the resteraunt was closed for maintenance. No contact at all from the resteraunt to advise.

Dont understand why this place got vad reviews as certainly not what we experienced today,staff very friendly and chatty as well as helpful with gf options.we went for lunch menu, my daughter 11 loved it.

Absolutely great value lunch menu £8.95 for two courses (I went for the salmon ramen which was £1 supplement but it should be £7.95 normally) which I thought was excellent on oxford road, and served super fast which is what I need on my lunch break. The dumplings were excellent and the salmon too, it just needed more of a kick and more veg in the ramen. Overall though, a very good meal and to say it was my first visit, I’m already excited to come back.

Great food great service and reasonable price . Very good experience and will be visiting again. Very well located on Oxford road we visited before seeing a band at the deaf institute

We waited more than an hour for our mains, with mains arriving at tables who ordered after we did. Considering that there are only four mains on the lunch menu, the wait time is inexplicable. The quality of the food was adequate but was certainly not worth the wait.
