What User doesn't like about Umami Ramen Dumpling:
the vegan dumplings were delicious, but oh my gash the vegan noodles (in the vegan smokers) were terrible! I got delivery, and followed all instructions to prep the suppe, but the noodles were papery and tasted strange, and in any case did not seem completely boiled. View all feedback. What User likes about Umami Ramen Dumpling:
I appreciate that the vegan items are clearly marked on the menu. The sesame seaweed salad and vegan dumplings were very tasty. Service was warm, helpful, and attentive. View all feedback.

Incredible vegan ramen with rice noodles, sweet and option for home made spicy sauce. vegan dumplings had a wonderful taste and a great texture.

Definitely worth a trip here. The vegan ramen is amazing.

Umami offers a mix of opinions from customers. Some complain about the quality of certain dishes like the vegan noodles and ramen, while others praise the delicious vegan dumplings and warm service. The restaurant is known for its pork buns and tasty ramen options. Prices are a bit high but the portion sizes are good. Overall, while some may find the food hit or miss, those looking for a casual dining experience in downtown Madison may still enjoy what Umami has to offer.

I love this place. If you're looking for homemade noodles and a strong garlic flavor, this is still the best place in town for ramen. My only issue is that they...

The food was average, nothing exceptional but not bad either. The service was excellent, especially the bartender with green hair who was extremely nice.
