Umaya Izakaya : Sushi frais, sashimi et bouchées à la japonaise avec un bar animé à Washington, DC.
Umaya Izakaya est un restaurant et bar japonais situé à Washington, DC, au 733 10th St NW, Washington, DC 20001, États-Unis, et propose des sushis, sashimis, ramen et d'autres bouchées d'inspiration japonaise. Les clients louent les sushis et sashimis frais, les boissons savoureuses et une ambiance animée, avec un service attentif mis en avant (Vonny est particulièrement mentionné).

So good! We went here two weeks on a row. Found it on the inkimd app. First week i had sashimi which I loved. Last weekend I had the miso glazed Chilean sea bass and it was cooked perfect but I didn't love the glaze. The baby octopus skewer just might be the best octopus we ever had. The salad dressing was much different than anything we've had before, it was really good. We will be going back often. Vonny was our waitress/bartender both times and she was great & busy.

I was good, but I was very unimpressed. It was close to my hotel so I made do. The owners were nice though and it was enough to still have hotel leftovers after a night of drinking though.

Went on a Sunday afternoon. I think this is a quick place for lunch and is known more for convenience than taste. The miso was too salty. The green tea was in a tea bag. I typically have it served in a pot or pre poured ( no tea bag) The ocotpus was too hard and chewy. Over all I didn’t love it. And wouldn’t run back

Izakaya Umaya sounded like a great stop after a long day of travel—somewhere to grab a beer and some Japanese-style eats. While it is technically an izakaya, it doesn’t feel like a traditional Japanese one. It’s more of a standard American bar with Japanese decorations. I wandered in and waited a few minutes before being seated. The waitress was friendly and seemed surprisingly busy for a place that wasn’t very crowded. I came in craving katsu curry, so I already knew what I wanted. I ordered gyoza, hot green tea, tonkatsu curry, and a couple of nigiri pieces. The tea arrived piping hot, but it wasn’t true green tea or matcha—just a bagged tea that needed time to steep before the flavor came out. A small pet peeve of mine, since this type of tea often turns out to be more of a brown tea or German cha labeled as green tea. The gyoza was okay, but the ponzu sauce was unexpectedly delicious. It had a citrusy sharpness, almost like a balsamic-style vinegar note that really stood out. Then the curry arrived, and that’s when I got confused. The curry itself was light in flavor—something I expect from many places, though I prefer a thicker, more traditional Japanese curry. But the real issue was the katsu. I ordered pork katsu, but it looked more like chicken. That wasn’t even the biggest disappointment. The breading tasted like chicken-finger-style breading, leading me to wonder if it was frozen or store-bought rather than made in-house. I'm used to katsu with that flaky, toasted panko texture, but this looked like a mix of flour and panko, flattening the edges and making the portion look sad and lifeless. The sushi was good but extremely small in serving size. Overall, the meal felt overpriced for what ended up being mediocre portions and questionable quality. I won’t be returning.

Absolutely amazing food. Freshest sushi and sashimi we’ve ever had. Delicious drinks and an amazing atmosphere. It’s nice that it’s accessible but not in the heart of DC so you can avoid big crowds.
