Umami Restaurant & Bar - Brisbane

Absolutely loved their Umami Bites, Bao Bao and the fried chicken! Such great flavours!! But will most definitely come back for their pork belly - Umami definitely wow'd with that one ???? great customer service and overall, a wonderful dining experience!

Dim light, a modern yet intimate space, an extensive wine list, delicious food & great service. A share style modern Asian menu is on offer and I got to try many of these as part of a work function. Stand out dishes amongst the group were the soft shell crab bao, Vietnamese fried chicken wings, umami bites, red curry brisket, roast pork belly and duck. For dessert, we got to try the Astro bomb, panacotta & chocolate (secret menu). All of them were a success. Needless to say, I've never had so many stand out dishes in one sitting...consider that Umami goodness signed, sealed and delivered !

Amazing spot! This hidden gem serves up some of the best asian fusion in Brisbane. I had the beef brisket curry and duck pancakes. It was soooo delicious! Can't wait to dine here again.

Recently hit up Umami for a team dinner and wowowow was it brilliant. With a great wine list and v cool cocktails it's an awesome place to go for drinks and some mean Asian tapas with friends or on a date. The VFC (Viet Fried Chicken) was the absolute winner of the night with a tender centre, a great crispy skin and flavour packed coating of nahm jim dressing. Among the mains was the brisket red curry which had a great spice to it, a chicken dish which was not as nice as the rest, a huge board of Asian styled pork belly and roast duck (my favourite) as well as dumplings, soft shell crab bao and umami chicken bites - safe to say we were pretty full. But there's always room for dessert and the beautifully light and subtly sweet rosemary-infused panacotta hit the spot perfectly. Only had a bite of the secret menu chocolate dessert but I probably could have eaten a tub of the white chocolate gelato.

Possibly the worst dining experience I have ever had. The food is extremely overpriced and sickly sweet. Ordered a glass of wine that never arrived, staff asked us if we would like dessert before we had even got main meals. Don't think this place will survive!
