Review Summary

Overall, reviews of Umami Épicerie - Umami Bar à Gyoza describe a cozy spot with appealing presentation and a mix of strong positives and a few caveats. Diners praised items like shiitake gyozas, cucumber salad, and curry udon, as well as the lemonade, while noting the bowls are cute and the location convenient with outdoor seating in summer. The vegan oriented menu impressed some visitors with quality and tastiness, though others felt the ramen options and vegan dishes lacked traditional Japanese depth, mentioning bland broths or flavors not quite authentic. Spiciness tended to be milder than some expectations, and a few comments pointed to limited service staff on busy nights given the prices. Taken together, Umami Épicerie - Umami Bar à Gyoza emerges as a solid find for food lovers seeking pleasant ambiance and well executed dishes, with several standout plates and a few flavor balance caveats depending on palate.

Umami Ramen & Izakaya offre une expérience japonaise authentique à Montréal. Les gyozas sont croustillants & savoureux, accompagnés d'une sauce légère. Le Udon curry est délicieux, avec un bouillon épicé & réconfortant, & le tofu sucré clôt parfaitement le repas.

I personally don't get the hype. I love curry, I love gyoza, but what I ordered just wasn't very good. The gyoza were soggy & falling apart, & the curry udon was cold (I did order delivery, but it didn't take very long to arrive). The texture of the udon noodles was great, so points there. However, the curry itself was incredibly lacking in flavour as far as Japanese curry goes, which is a shame because it seems to be incredibly hard to find good Japanese style curry in Montreal. Overall, I was pretty disappointed. Maybe I'll try an in restaurant experience sometime, delivery isn't always the best way to judge & I want to believe all the good things I hear about this place.

Curry udon & a saison au yuzukosho...what an absolute delight!¡!¡! So well balanced, awesome aromatics, wicked good looking bowl & bodacious beer. Hit the spot to put it mildly!¡!¡!

Highly recommend. Love that Montreal has such a strong Japanese culinary presence. Good for parties of 2 , it is a small place. We had the pork gyoza, wafu cucumber salad, creamy potato salad, udon curry & the udon creamy miso. They were all perfect, & prepared exquisitely. The cucumber & potato salads pair very nicely. Also loved the house yuzu lemonade, not too sweet, not too tart. Service was super friendly & well executed. Eat there!
