How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Ramen
Umami brings the energy of a Japanese izakaya to an upstairs Lawrenceville space. Ramen shares the menu with yakitori, takoyaki, sushi, and late evening drinks, giving the bowls a broader bar-food context. Its broths and noodles show a playful approach to Japanese comfort cooking.

- Japanese
Pittsburgh Magazine includes Umami in its international dining coverage and describes the Lawrenceville restaurant through its Japanese izakaya identity. The menu extends beyond ramen into shareable plates and bar friendly dishes, making it suitable for a varied dinner. Its compact upstairs room and late evening rhythm give the experience the sociable pace of a neighborhood izakaya.
