Food was ok. Service was horrible! It was Saturday around 12:15pm. Saturday after Thanksgiving. The lady that worked there has NO basic skills in customer service. Definitely needs some training. I will not go back.
Passing through the area looking for something to eat about this place. Perfectly what we wanted, spicy soup with beef!! Outstanding food.
Amazing food, no msg, cant beat yummy healthy food. Used to be Tea Bar operators, amazing tea drinks.
Their Guba Miami of beef noodle is number one in town yum yum yum !!!
Amazing love it! Great milk tea for awesome value
Not only is it overpriced The woman there is very rude. Wont go again.
Awful service, never come back again
Best food ever...boba is excellent!
Great soup and noodles
Very friendly
Things are a bit salty (based on Taiwanese taste standards)The service attitude is extremely poor, and we are extremely impatient when ordering food (there are no other customers waiting for us to order food)The atmosphere was also bad. It was 94 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. Even though it was evening, it was still very hot. The host refused to turn on the air conditioner and left the door open (there were a lot of mosquitoes in the store, making me scratch while eating).
The front guy should be the boss, and its like he got into some kind stress and the attitude is terrible, he give you the mad face like if he didnt hear you right, like🤨🤨what u say?? The food is so so Do you have a grudge against your guest? Customers who came once will not come again next time. Are you planning to close the shop?
I dont even want to give it one star, its so bad! The portion size is Taiwanese, the price is American, and the point is unpalatable.The beef bone marrow soup is just water with an oily layer on top, not even a vegetable leaf. It costs more than 6 yuan without tax, which is totally ridiculous.
Be careful! ! Not even for dogs! The dog shook his head when he saw it!Those with a bad attitude will die! The dishes are not cooked!Really bad customer service! Such a terrible experience! Will never place an order anymore! Uncooked food! Wasting ur time and money!
A Taiwanese person’s objective opinion. The ribs are really hard to eat. My stomach hurts after eating the chicken skin. The oil must not be very clean. The waiter’s attitude is quite bad. The customer is already very friendly and enthusiastic. He still has a dead face. I will not go to this store again. Got it
The food is mediocre, the service is terrible, and the environment inside the store is dirty.
Are you serious? You call this braised pork rice? Wheres the meat? ? ?
Delicious 🥰 Reminds me of Taiwanese taste
What the hell, don’t go

2023-07-07 08:06:18Love the noodles so much. Butter Garlic noodles and Guba Umami(mild heat) were my favorite. The beef shank was soooo soft. Love it. And the boba was good too,I got the osmanthus oolong milk tea. I saw the price one year ago was $13 before tax, and now is $14.3. Not bad. With the portion and flavor I got, I am happy with it.

2023-09-10 00:04:54AMAZING place!lused to work at a Taiwanese restaurant and this place is like BEYOND amazing. Their food is INCREDIBLE! The flavoring is divine, textures are immaculate, and you can tell the chef has curated and crafted his recipes to perfection.Spice levels can be adjusted so its great for all ages and spice tolerances.His boba is also literally better than sunright tea studios. The tapioca texture is immaculate and drinks are really high quality.The popcorn chicken, beef noodle soup, and golden kimchi are my absolute favorites! The food here surpasses any other popcorn chicken ive had in my entire life! (and i grew up in the San Gabriel Valley eating Taiwanese food weekly).Amazing amazing joint with great calm and welcoming vibes!New! More ways to react to reviews.

2021-08-23 06:47:57The sauce for the noodles are amazing and so is the soup! No MSG, just real chicken stock! I also recommend the orange green tea! Stinky tofu, popcorn chicken and pickled cabbage, so much to try! No dine in, but I’m ok with that!

2023-04-16 03:44:35Terrible service. The front lady forced me to pay tips when she would not answer our questions about what she would recommend to order because it was our first time. The food was okay, the portions are small for the rice. Beef noodle was not bad but wasn’t spicy enough. We asked for more spicy sauce and they literally rolled their eyes. Then asked what kind of spicy sauce to pair with what food, why does that matter?! We just wanted more spicy sauce. Unbelievable. We’ve never received as bad of a service as this restaurant. Never going back again.

2021-12-21 07:57:40Taste is very subjective so take my review on the taste with a grain of salt...We ordered the Koba, butter garlic and Guba Hot Spicy.The skin on the pork belly of the koba will give the leather sole of your shoe a run for its money for how chewy it was. The butter garlic needed some more flavor. The Goba was good, if I were to go back Ill get that.The service on the other hand, its hard to convince me to go back. The lady working behind the register is borderline rude. When I ask what is the Koba dish instead describing it her answer was its on the menu, read it!

2020-04-22 02:03:57My husband and I were craving some authentic Taiwanese food and stumbled upon this place through DoorDash, after a little digging through Yelp we found nothing but positive reviews for this place and decided to give Umami Bistro a shot. Wow! The dishes we got were so delicious and you can taste how fresh the ingredient was. It tasted like something my mother-in-law would make for us whenever we visited them. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. So glad theyre still open during quarantine and shout-out to the kitchen staff! 5-Stars homemade cooking served fresh!
