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).

Walked by me 2 tables down and on the way to wherever he was going 3x without even a glance at me. Asked the hostess for a waiter and was immediately visited by a different young man. Initially very attentive. Got my order in. Got my sushi roll. Soon after I got my entree (chicken katsu) ... but that's all I got. No rice, no salad, no miso soup. No service after that either. Another 15 minutes passes and finally the manager on duty passes by and asks if everything is ok. Well... no, it's not. Got a 50% discount, which is fitting since I only got 1/2 a meal. Might try it again... food was worthy of a 2nd visit. But the service is ridiculously below par. You can hear the waitstaff and other restaurant staff yapping it up in the kitchen having some lovely conversations... which means the patrons are being ignored

However, the 3 stars are for those things alone. I ordered the spicy garlic edamame and it was old and cold. I ordered filet mignon hibachi and the rice had so many of what I'm assuming are sesame seeds and it was so salty I couldn't eat it. The noodles had no flavor at all. Even the spicy mayo wasn't great. I literally took a couple of bites of each thing and threw it away. It simply wasn't worth eating. I probably should've given it just 2 stars but I truly appreciate the look and cleanliness of the restaurant and the kindness of the staff.

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.

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
