NAKAMA REVIEWS
I've been coming to Nakama since the day it opened. I love it. Usually just sit at the bar, but I've had a lot of fun in their dining area watching the extremely talented and fun hibachi chefs do their magic. The food is fantastic and the drinks are always fun and tasty. They recently remodled too, about 2 years ago.
Nakama means 'friend' in Japanese. In this case, the friend will feed you some of the most delicious food known to man. I recommend the Imperial Feast - great choices, and the Tuna is exceptional. So if you have no Nakamas, go yourself - the food will keep you company.

RAMEN BAR REVIEWS
Splendid! We came here for a celebration and the whole family enjoyed their food. Atmosphere is nothing special but quite cozy and comfortable. The service was speedy, polite and didn't miss any of the details. And of course the food was delicious! A must try if you enjoy ramen and are around Squirrel Hill!
Food was decent . The waiter was fast and he food was timed well. Only issue was the appetizer was a bit on the small size and seemed over fried. Maybe they fry it and then set it aside and then fry it again when ordered to heat it up. Other than that I liked the res of the food and the atmosphere.
This quaint little place with amazing food! The series was amazing, and the people were so polite! You get what you pay for, I couldn't even finish my food. I ended up taking it home.

UMAMI REVIEWS
Atmosphere and Service were excellent. Staff seemed to enjoy their job which is important. Good music and interesting location. Menu was very intriguing but I don't have the biggest background to compare to. As a casual in the Asian food world, it sounded and tasted good. The staff were very knowledgeable and thorough when it comes to the menu. Drinks were good and $2 off before 6pm, even on a Saturday. I would like to return again to try more of their sushi menu. The quail eggs and octopus balls/takoyaki definitely live up to the "Umami" name with the sauces used.
Umami was amazing! My boyfriend and I went here for my b-day dinner. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. It was super great sitting at the bar and watching the chefs in the kitchen. This was a super cool experience you can’t get at many places! Also the atmosphere was overall amazing! Such a great vibe.
AMAZING experience ! I loved everything I ordered. I got the fried chicken, the fried tempura sushi roll, and the onigiri which was the highest quality tuna I’ve ever had in my life it was sooo good! We got a nice private room for my party and everything about this place is meticulously detailed! Go go go!!!
