If you like seafood or street food in general (there are also vegetarian and non seafood options) you definitely need to eat at Umami. The service people were incredibly sweet and professional. The food was outstanding. We passed by and where like, street food sounds good. But it was more like very fine dining. Every dish had an unique taste and you could taste the fresh ingredients immediately. I highly recommend going to this incredible restaurant and just enjoy the experience. Also the price is VERY fair to say the least. Much love ! Update (4 days later): We obviously had to go a second time during our stay and it was just as amazing as the first time. Even if we do live a little far away these guys accomplished blowing us away so much that we said „We have to take a trip to Den Haag again just to eat here“. Again, never experienced a service, food and atmosphere like this, EVER!! We will definitely visit you guys again !! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Pretty decent experience overall. Some dishes were mind blowingly delicious, some were mediocre. The ceviche "Sour Seabass" served in the first course was absolutely fantastic. It was plated a bit strangely (leftmost dish on the picture), but the flavors were superb. The best ceviche I've ever eaten. The duck dish "Umami Duck" was decent flavor wise, but had a really bad texture problem. The duck was rather soft with soft cucumber pickle slices, and it was served with a creamy mayonnaise and a vinaigrette. Everything just ended up soft, cold and wet. The other courses were similar: some great dishes, some less so. Perhaps we just were unlucky with the dishes we selected. Service staff definitely seemed to care and was interested in giving us a good experience and telling us about the food. It's a fun experience if you're going out for dinner with multiple people. Being able to taste so many dishes is really fun. I can imagine it being great value for tables of 3-4 persons. You can basically eat a 10+ course meal for about 40 to 50 euros per person. Can't find that anywhere else! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50–60 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Food is great and so is the atmosphere. The service was ok as getting a waiter was sometimes a bit difficult. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €60–70 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5

Pleasant experience overall. The food was definitely not something out of this world, but it was good. I would call it quite safe, but that's just from my point of view. I usually like stronger flavours and more character, so do with that information what you will. At times I felt like they're trying to hard to be "original", which goes against them in my opinion, but others might enjoy it. The service was excellent!

The dishes are delicious, original, and very well presented. Ambience is elegant, well curated, and service is impeccable. The "social dining" fixed price solution is a win on multiple counts, and it works especially well if you are with a group. It lets you enjoy a Michelin-like degustation experience, experimenting with the menu, sharing and tasting various dishes, without the surprise of sneaky surcharges at the end, which unfortunately are not uncommon in NL. Very highly recommended! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Some interesting dishes and flavour combinations, but not as special as expected. Small portions so if you’re a real big eater you might not be full after just the tasting menu. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50–60 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

I cannot recall the last time I felt so conflicted with having to write a review. I booked this restaurant due to the raving reviews, mentioning the experience and amazing food, this while knowing that fusion restaurants can be often a hit or miss. The first course was decent, but we felt unwelcome, as the staff seemed somehow oblivious to our presence and slightly short on their communication. Then things started to get worse. Second course was just all nicely plated for a lovely instagram photo. However, the food was underwhelming and the absurd amount of ingredients, cream and things that made no sense together. Too much garlic, too much mayonnaise, too many very strong ingredients which spoiled the whole dish. Another issue was that all the food was microwaved. Chicken and fried fish were hot inside but not outside. That only happens when you microwave food. Also some bowls were quite hot, when others were not, which often tells that food is microwaved. When you pay 40 euros for a meal, food should NOT be microwaved. Finally the halibut came. To make it clear, the waiters were extremely polite after I complained about this, and immediately offered a replacement dish. However, the halibut tasted fishy, when it is not supposed to taste this strong. I was presented with the “oh, but it always tastes like this and it always smells strong” argument, but that’s not how halibut should be. I explained that I was a chef and that I have been cooking fish all my life, and yet, the staff seemed to believe that halibut should taste this way. Finally, the bill came and what a surprise. 6 euros for a bottle of water, which to be honest, I still have no idea if it was tap water or not. Not even in very fine restaurants, you pay 6 euros for a bottle of water which has been filled by the restaurant. Personally, this whole experience made me upset and disappointed. I know that a lot of people loved it, but to be honest, it really bothered me how pretentious this restaurant tries to be with presenting the dishes and the plating, when it is actually closer to a fast food chain for which you should pay 10 euros maximum. Terrible disappointment, and we just felt saddened by having wasted our time and money with this place. Do not waste your time with this place.
