Our Izakaya grill features a one of a kind charcoal brick that is imported from Japan & allows for the natural flavors of the proteins & vegetables to radiate.Umaya elevates the typical 'beer garden' concept with hard-to-find Asian dishes. Our menu promotes friends, coworkers, family to enjoy their time together. We carry a wide array of Asian beer, sake & Japanese Whiskey, complimenting the tranquility of the restaurant.

This place was cute. We did the weekend brunch buffet and followed with the spirits tour and tasting. Brunch was just ok, nothing spectacular. The tour was fun and informative, I would recommend it. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable!
