Umami Ramen & Dumpling Bar

This is one of my favorite places to be, and eat in Madison. If it wasn't so we'll known, I would call it a hidden gem. The atmosphere is cozy and is a great conversation started. The menu is small, but diverse. The drink menu is fun and have something for everything. The food tastes great. It's a great place to bring a date, partners, friends, etc... If your fan of ramen, go here.

The tonkatsu ramen was very tasty and seasoned well. The dumplings were also delicious. Outside seating on a warm night made the experience much more enjoyable.

Love this place! The ramen and pork buns are amazing! It's small, which is really nice for the atmosphere, but then you do have to wait often. It seems more Americanized than a typical ramen place, which was actually a little refreshing. But the food is still delicious and they will give you hot spices on the side if you want a kick in your dish.

Great ramen! I do wish they had a larger location, because sometimes it's so packed it can be hard to get in. I think it's a little pricier than other comparable places, but the flavors and food are great. We did have an issue with being double charged while in the restaurant and didn't realize it until checking our CC statement. I was able to reach out to the manager and resolve this with several phone calls and emails proving the double charge. They did resolve the issue, if not for a little effort on my part. We like taking family here when they're in town, will be back again!

One of my favorite neighborhood spots. The ramen is fantastic, and I always get an order of the spicy tofu buns. I also recommend asking after any seasonal specials that they have. These won't be listed on the menu, but are always a treat!
