Umai Ramen And Rice Bowl - Herndon

Oh my goodness! This has become our new favorite family spot. The ramen is incredibly fresh and delicious. The dumplings are fantastic as well. Everything tastes wonderfully fresh. The service is quick and friendly. The only downside is the restaurant's size—it’s cozy, but definitely worth it!

The indoor seating at this restaurant is quite limited, and since it's located in a strip mall, the outdoor seating isn't ideal either. However, the quality of the food makes up for this. The Vegan Tom Yum Ramen is arguably the best ramen available in the area, and the Veggie Japanese Curry is also quite tasty. Umai Curry and Tom Yum Ramen are other popular choices. While it's a great spot for takeout, the staff is friendly and accommodating. You can sit at the bar or at a few small tables for two or four. With many vegetarian options, this is definitely our favorite ramen place.

This ramen shop is absolutely fantastic! Everything is reasonably priced, and the broths are incredible—especially the Japanese curry. The tonkotsu is crispy and delicious, and the noodles are cooked to perfection.

Umai has never failed me and I've been eating their ramen since they opened ? the spicy tonkotsu is my FAVORITE but it's also super delicious without the spicy lol my husband typically gets the spicy miso ramen and I also really love their chicken karaage ? Their pork charsui is some of the best in, not only flavor, but in portion size too. So good. And their service is top notch. Everyone is super nice. They've converted to a paperless menu system (qr code) but that doesn't mean they're not attentive to you! And the food comes out quick. Love them!

So far I’ve been here twice, but I know that I will come back many, many times.My husband were driving around the area and saw Umai while we were picking out take out from another restaurant. We looked it up and immediately knew we had to check it out! And I’m SO glad we did.It’s a very small restaurant. There’s a couple of tables, some bar spots, and some tables outside. They do take reservations, though, if you call ahead, which is nice.The first time we came on a Saturday around 7:30 and were glad to get seats inside at the bar. We were blown away by the food! I got the curry ramen and my husband got the Katsu curry with rice. We both loved our dishes. The curry ramen was the perfect combination of everything good the curry broth was slightly spicy, the chicken was perfect, and the noodles were great. We also got there karaage chicken (didn’t get a picture) which was great. The chicken pieces were large and juicy, and the dipping sauce was very good.The second time we came, my mom was visiting. We made reservations ahead of time. My mom isn’t very adventurous with her food, but even she was blown away by Umai.So far we’ve loved everything we’ve eaten here so far, and can’t wait to keep coming back and trying more and enjoying it all!
