What to know about Umami Ramen & Izakaya
Umami Ramen & Izakaya is a fully vegan Little Italy destination with seven ramen, including tsukemen, chilled hiyashi chuka and a curry-tempeh bowl. Organic wheat noodles are made on site, and online reservations are available.
Plant-based diners get considerably more than a single substitute bowl at this Clark Street izakaya. The $18.95 core includes miso, Tokyo-style shoyu, tantanmen and creamy kimchi ramen. Curry with tempeh tonkatsu and cold sesame hiyashi chuka are $19.95, while the concentrated shoyu dipping noodles cost $21.95. Umami prepares its organic wheat noodles in the restaurant, a meaningful distinction for texture-focused visitors. Weekday service is split between noon lunch and evening dinner; Saturday begins at 5 p.m. Sunday is unusual, combining a 9:30 a.m. brunch opening with dinner after a mid-afternoon break. Reservations suit planned visits, and the terrace gives warm-weather diners another seating choice.
Choose Umami for a complete vegan ramen menu rather than one modified after ordering, plus noodles produced in the same kitchen.
Best for: Vegan groups, handmade-noodle seekers, Little Italy dinners and anyone comparing ramen with tsukemen.
