For apps we got the yellowtail jalapeño tuna and the tuna tataki, both were 10/10 and so fresh/flavorful! For entrees we got the chicken and shrimp hibachi (10/10). It comes with soup, I got miso and a side salad. For the salad, you can get it with ranch or ginger sauce. I asked for ranch but they do put a lot so if you don't like a lot of dressing, then ask for it on the side! We also tried some sushi, the volcano and fire alarm roll! (4/5).

I ordered the hibachi lomein with steak and shrimp and I had the salad with sesame dressing and a bowl of miso soup. To say everything was perfection is an understatement. This is THE BEST hibachi we have EVER had. By far the freshest food, cooked on the spot. Price was very reasonable and this is now our one and only favorite spot for hibachi cuisine. I cannot sing this place's praises enough. What a hidden gem! Wish we had known how good this place was long ago! Can't wait to go back!

Late review: We…read moretraveled to Lake Charles and had planned to sample some carnival/fair food at the Louisiana Pirate Festival. However, the food choices were very limited. We researched restaurants in the area, but most were closed or had limited hours on a Sunday. Umami was the only restaurant with good reviews that was open at the time. The food was ok. It was definitely better than Hana Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill in Natchitoches, but not as good as Geisha Sushi Bistro in New Orleans. We ordered: Tuna tartare Spicy tuna roll Spicy salmon roll Hamachi nigiri Tuna nigiri Steamed shumai There's 24 photos that should be posted with this review.

We were passing through Lake Charles on our way to Texas and decided to give this restaurant a try…read more Unfortunately, the experience fell short. Starting with the atmosphere -- when we were seated, the table was noticeably sticky, which immediately set the wrong tone. The overall space felt dated, and several tables showed visible wear, including warped wood. It gave the impression that maintenance and upkeep may not be a priority. We decided to move forward and hope the food would make up for it. The quality itself wasn't terrible, but it wasn't memorable either -- fairly average and not something we'd go out of our way for. The biggest issue was the portion size and service flow. The sushi arrived in very small increments -- two pieces at a time -- with long pauses in between. It made the meal feel disjointed and unnecessarily drawn out. For the price point, the portions were extremely small, and I actually left hungry, which rarely happens. For three people, the bill ended up being over $125 (including a couple of beers), which felt steep considering the portion sizes and overall experience. I understand how challenging the restaurant business can be, and this isn't written to be harsh -- just honest. There's potential here, but improvements in cleanliness, presentation, portion sizing, and service pacing would make a significant difference. With several dining options in the area, I would likely explore other restaurants during our stay.

Our family sat down and my chair (out of all the chairs) and it made me lean forward and had to swap chairs. Waiter did get our orders for our drinks and gave us our salads and soups while we waited for more people to show up. We are a healthy family and 2 of us do NOT put lemon in our water. And we ALL love water rather than sodas. The WATER WAS AWFUL AND HAD A BAD AFTER TASTE. I even asked for bottle water which I would have paid for but they do NOT SERVE THE EASIEST THING CORRECTLY. Now the 2 of us need a soda. I waived and waived (my waiter was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND) and finally asked for 2 sodas and they sodas NEVER SHOWED UP... we were eating salads and the cook is here now and we STILL have NO DRINKS. After waiving to another waiter (not ours) I stated again and finally we received our sodas. Since I have a tough time swallowing I need drinks and my soda was empty instantly and it took forever for them to refill it as I had to repeat the awful process of getting a waiter. Waiter has vanished and barely see him. The cook was awesome and entertaining but I was do distracted talking to waiters and trying to survive (swallowing because I can choke with no drink) I missed very good parts of the hibachi because of this. Also when the cook got there we ALL had to move seats because one of our family members feet were constantly sliding because she sat at the end (by the cook) because the GREASE MADE IT VERY SLIPPERY Fix the water as it was awful and UN-DRINKABLE.

After a disappointing experience at another Japanese restaurant in the Lake Charles area, we…read moredecided to try a place in Moss Bluff called Umami Kumo -- and I'm glad we did. The restaurant appears fairly new. It's on the smaller side, but very nice -- clean, neat, and welcoming. From the moment we sat down, it felt like a completely different experience. The sushi portions were generous, and every roll we ordered was full of flavor. Honestly, I was surprised. In a smaller town like Moss Bluff, I didn't go in with big expectations -- it was mostly about convenience. But this place exceeded them. We had a great meal, and while the bill was about what you'd expect, the quality made it absolutely worth it. If you're in the Lake Charles area -- and even if Moss Bluff isn't somewhere you'd normally think to go for Japanese food -- Umami Kumo is definitely worth a visit. Give it a shot
