Reviews for Umami Ramen House in El Paso, TX
Food: The food was solid. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, the broth was a bit bland. Noodles didn't taste fresh & were... thin. Boba: I also ordered Matcha Green Tea Boba. It was okay. The flavor of the matcha is watered down, but the sweetness ofthe boba balances out. But the boba was soaked in the brown sugar syrup for a while. You can notice it by the soft mushy partsaround each boba ball. I'd say after it was made it was kept in it's container for around 2-3+ days. The atmosphere: was cuteand chill. I like the big pink Sakura Tree. Kudos to the person that designed the interior :) Read more
Everything i tried was absolutely yummy! Service was so so but that didn't take away from how good the food was! The orange... chicken and fried rice were killer! I'm officially addicted! The green tea had a hint of jasmine which I'm not necessarily fondof but it was still pretty good. The honeydew tea was amazing! I'm not a fan of boba so i opted out but my nephew loved them! I also tried the hibachi steak and it was good but i wasn't thrilled about the aftertaste, but others thought it was superb! Really you can't go wrong with anything you choose from here! Read more
Quaint little place. We were there for an early dinner…but it felt oddly empty and like a cheap date spot. Hard to... explain…it was also overwhelmingly PINK. I love Sakura as much as anyone, but this was a bit much. I feel like they weretrying to make it feel like a cherry blossom picnic…but it just wasn’t for me. I think our table was the most lively andhappy, so thankfully we had good service. They were quick and attentive, and answered all our questions. The ramen was verygood. Great flavor and good portions. The corn was a bit much…we don’t really care for corn in our ramen. But, the gyoza waseither old or frozen. Not something we would order again. We did enjoy their boba teas and took some to go. The bathroom is notgood…so avoid it if possible. Maybe next time, we’ll just order the food to go. Read more
Walking in it smells like urine and I thought it was just me because I’m pregnant and my smell is everywhere but it wasn’t.... The friends that came with me also mentioned it. I would have left if it wasn’t for our friends that was with us whorecommended this place. I would have missed out on their croquette and the spicy chicken ramen with tofu instead of chicken wasdelicious . I wish they would have a better vegan broth. The description of it sounded too bland. Read more
Normally I get a box with a decent sized portion but I’ve always ordered one calamari. This time I order the calamari and it... is as it appears here. No other words to describe it other than them splitting one whole order in two boxes. Pretty sad as thisis one of my places I go to for food at least 2x a week. So be aware do not order the calamari to go, especially not two ofthem! Read more
Food was great, the place is very clean, and the ramen portions were good. The lunch orange chicken was very good, the flavor... was not overpowering and it was cooked perfectly. Very crisp. Definitely a repeat Read more
First time customer review: Walking in, I noticed the pretty, pink Sakura tree and the Japanese artwork. It does have that feel... of being in Japan. I ordered edame and the black garlic ramen. Both were good. However, the service was less than desirable. Myserver was nice, but I barely saw them. I had to ask another server for a refill, and what made it worse was that I had to waitfor about 10 min for someone to bring my bill. All my plates were stacked and pushed away from, so it was very obvious I wasdone. I feel the other server was doing more than the other as I watched her run around cleaning tables and helping the othercustomers around me. I didn't see mine upfront at all. Read more
Many of the menu items are overpriced. We paid $60 for two people, and $8 for boba tea seems excessive. The ramen isn't bad, but... you can DEFINITELY get it for a better price to taste ration elsewhere. The wait staff could definitely be more attentive andaffable. Read more
