Where do I start? Such a unique little place! I'll admit, as I was walking up the stairs, I wondered if I was even in the right spot--but as soon as I reached the top, I was greeted by the most welcoming host. You could immediately feel the ene

I really enjoyed my experience at Umami from the food to the drinks, everything was on point. I started with the Snow Angel sake, which was light, smooth, and very easy to sip. For sushi, we tried the fatty tuna, lean tuna sashimi, salmon, octopus, a

Thank you to our server Tay for an amazing birthday dinner! Umami is tied for our favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh and we went to celebrate my partner's birthday. The entrance is through a black door with Japanese characters above the door. Kee

I highly recommend making reservations, as this place gets busy. Also, give yourself extra time to find parking, as many spaces are reserved for residents. The entrance can be a little tricky to find. Once you find the door, just keep going up a coup
First of all, I got a little lost.
So when you see round corner cantina, along 38th street is a side door that opens up to two more doors and you go up the one that is straight through. After two dark flights of steps, you reach the cutely decorated restaurant. The cuts of fish were t
Nice little vibe going on in here.
The yaki udon is unreal. I didn't leave feeling very full but it was no doubt delicious.

Food was great and the atmosphere was casual and pleasant, but if you have a handicap, you might want to choose one of the sister restaurants. This dining room is up 3 flights of dimly lit, steep stairs, and the restroom is not on the same level. One

Our evening was fantastic, and everything from the food and drinks to the service and staff was exceptional. I would highly recommend making this your next date night spot!

They got it right! Both the food and vibe complement each other perfectly making each individual part better, down to the sumo wrestlers glasses. The menu is encompassing without being overwhelming, similar to how the live DJ adds to the enjoyment w
Great Vibe
Awesome music and ambiance for date night and cocktails. Loved the pork gyoza but other dishes were just ok. Felt like we caught the servers on an off night but would go back for the ambiance and drinks. Manager/host was also great.

HIDDEN gem in Lawrenceville, serving fresh sushi and Japanese inspired cuisine. but literally, this place is so difficult to find. It is on the corner of the street, on the second or third floor of the building, with no visible signage or direction

My husband and I wen5here for dinner this weekend and we were blown away! It's a small restaurant with a nice sized bar and has a dark and hip Asian vibe. When we arrived, our table wasn't yet ready, but the host promptly took our cocktail order whi

We had a fantastic dinner and it was more than I had hoped! We tired something off each section of the menu except the sushi! We had to leave something to come back for. The udon was one of the best things I've ever tasted!

Umami is hands down one of the freshest sushi spots along with some great street food as well as other items that always are top notch. Service has always been great and I LOVE the ambiance with the red tone always glowing!

I've been back to this place several times since my initial review, and I am sad to say that it's been a slow decline. Each time, the service, food, and experience have been a little less great and at this point, its a mediocre experience at best.
One of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh.
The ambiance and decor is fantastic. Food is well priced, well portioned, and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Yakitori, Ramen, and Karaage. They have great drinks as well. You cannot go wrong with Umami and if you are between two different rest
Super neat experience.
The sushi/sashimi options are fresh as heck, and the daily specials are unique and worth the adventure. The ramen and the yaki udon were wonderful staples as a safe bet if you don't know what else to get. Kind of small restaurant, but sitting at th

This place is worth the hype!! We tried to go and the wait was long so we made reservations for the next weekend and it was phenomenal. The vibe and environment was super fun kind of like a speakeasy restaurant bar. If you're a martini fan, The um
Loved this place! The sushi is really fresh and so amazing.
Ordering is pretty much a La carte (nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls). I tried the spicy scallop hand roll, yellowtail hand roll, salmon nigiri, and pork belly skewer. Everything was so delicious! The service was great and it the ambiance was nice inside!

Connect with users posting reservations for Umami Pittsburgh
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Umami Pittsburgh. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Umami Pittsburgh at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Umami Pittsburgh page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Umami Pittsburgh to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Umami Pittsburgh!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
