“UPDATE 2/18/24: I've been to Umami at least 20 times since my first review, and have never had a meal I consider less than excellent. The sushi is creative and tasty, the ramen is very good and service is consistently fast and friendly. I've had lots of dishes and the food does not disappoint. The cocktails are very good too. One of our favorite restaurants, and I'm so happy they're open in Trussville too. Enthusiastically recommend! ?????Very tasty sushi. Eclectic menu; we really liked everything we tasted. Service was very good too.“
“"My son and some friends recently went to Bamboo on 2nd, and it was a fantastic experience. The service was great—friendly and efficient. The sushi was absolutely delicious, and they are already looking forward to returning to try more. The ramen bowl had a flavorful broth that added to its overall deliciousness. The service was quick, and the waitstaff were knowledgeable and helpful in selecting our food.Additionally, the To go counters impressed me with their amazing quality. Whether dining in or taking out, Bamboo on 2nd is a top-notch choice for delicious sushi and flavorful dishes. Highly recommend“
“Absolutely some of the best sushi I have ever had in my life!The waitress was lovely but the person who seated us was not, so 3/5 for customer service.Interior of the restaurant is simple, but the menu is elaborate! The sushi really was incredible at a reasonable price!“

“This hidden gem nestled away in Mountain Brook hit every check on the list. The atmosphere, service, drinks and food is unmatched. Abhi has the best sushi and MoMo's in the city....no the State! I can't wait to try their other dishes, they smelled amazing coming out! I will definitely be back!“
“The service was amazing. We didn't realize it was close to closing, but we never felt rushed. The server was friendly and attentive. I wish I could remember his name but it was a tall guy with facial hair. The food was great and the coconut soup with shrimp was delicious. My first time ever having it and I loved it.“
“If you are looking for great asian food, great service, and great atmosphere, Kumo Sushi & Asian restaurant has exactly what you are looking for.

The atmosphere is pleasant, the tables are not jammed close together like at other places.Kumo Sushi & Asian restaurant is my favorite asian restaurant.“
“I pulled a non-Karen today and asked for the manager. I explained to her how amazed I was at their food and how utterly fantastic it is. I ordered an unagi poke bowl and a salmon Maki roll via GrubHub, then I went there in person and ordered the unagidon and salmon roll, and today I ordered the steak teppanyaki, salad, seaweed salad (OMG - seriously? BEST I'VE EVER HAD), and got the tonkotsu ramen with menma. She remembered me from my order today and when I was there last week. Let's talk about the salmon roll - absolutely fresh and filled with thick pieces of salmon and perfectly cooked sushi rice. The rice was a compliment rather than the main to the roll. The steak? Chef's kiss. perfectly seasoned and tender with amazing veggies. Serving size? Goodness, well deserved of the price. The seaweed salad? OMG. usually, I'll get a teensy bit for the same price. Here, you get a good chunk of it but it's served over romaine lettuce with chopped cucumbers. It's definitely a true salad. Now, let's talk about the tonkotsu. The chasu pork is seared perfectly and absolutely delectable. It's also served with green onions, an excellent half of a shoyu egg, and I added menma (bamboo shoots). The broth is excellent and you can tell it has been carefully taken care of (a tad garlicky, but that's fine with me), silky, and says "I'm your comfort food" over and over again. Lastly, the service shows how much they care about their food and their customers. Like I said, I pulled a Non-Karen and spoke to the manager and sang praises for their food and service. I now have my favorite Japanese spot now that I'm back in Birmingham. PS. their unagidon is on fire! Yum!“
“Absolutely the greatest food in Birmingham!!!!! A must amount must!!!!! It taste it looks like there's no way something this complex would make sense. And it never will. They pulled off greatness from what literally seems like they threw darts at a globe and made the menu. Absolutely my favorite spot will always comeback again!!!!!“

“Update-Thank you Treasha for reaching and looking into this. 3/25/24.My coworkers and I order takeout which two of my coworkers were able to order online. For some reason my order wouldn’t go through online so we called it in. The food was good but my problem is the person who rung up the order decided to add themselves a tip which I wasn’t aware until it posted on my account. I was also charged a takeout fee which my coworkers weren’t charged. Never again will I order from this location.“
“Absolutely incredible. Such a wonderful experience and delicious food.Posting pictures that give do no justice to the flavor and appearance of the food.The food coupled with the service make this place a no brainer when wanting sushi and unique food options with an Asian flare.Vegetarian options: Pescatarian and vegetarian options abound.“
“It's good food but if your looking for atmosphere it's just a neighborhood good food place to eat no dressing up too go just come so you areParking: Easy access to the building for everyone.Kid-friendliness: Granddaughter loves the food.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in and out place is small but accessible.“
“Location is inside of Pzitiz Food Hall. The service is on point and served with a friendly smile. The korean food is affordable and served in bento size portions enough for one person. We tried the Takoyaki and its topped with Shrimp Bonito Flakes to add a subtle seafood flavor. Those flakes are commonly used in broth for asian noodle soups like pho or ramen. The bulgogi had the all the familiar flavors and heat and was served with rice, and a salad.“
“the food was amazing! I personally never liked sushi but after today I cannot make that claim. The place was clean and our server , Brandon, was super nice and helpful. The food was amazing and that's from a person who does not eat sushi ever. But now I am a changed person, thanks to sushi village , I am a sushi person!“
“We go here pretty frequently, sometimes dine in and sometimes take out. Regardless, the food is delicious! I highly recommend the hibachi chicken and the ginger salad! The portions are large but makes for a great lunch the next day! When we dinned in we had no wait and the server was super fast! We had our food in less than 20 mins (we were there fairly early around 5:15 PM, it’s probably not as fast in the rush hours). Even the takeout is great, everything is well packed and delicious! Plan to keep going back!“
