Reviews
Pretty "standard" Texas Roadhouse. Fairly new location. Steaks are delivered as expected for the price at this chain restaurant. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Value is good and the beers are cold. Worth a visit!
We’ve been going to Fahrenheit for two years off and on. My husband and son in law must go on Fridays for the perch. Before last night I would be bragging about their food. But not this time. I got the t-bone on special and it was tough, I only ate about 6 bites and I’ve been sick throughout the night. My daughter and granddaughter got steaks that both had to be sent back because they were undercooked, the perch wasn’t even something to rave about this time… it was bigger so it didn’t just melt in your mouth like the smaller pieces of perch that are usually served. New cook? New supplier? I’m not sure but it will be a while before we go back for sure. The service was outstanding and normally the food is as well. I don’t know what happened.
We enjoyed our Ramen. It wan not to salty or strong. The noodles were cooked perfectly. We ordered the Green Bean Tempura but either the beans were frozen or over cooked, as they had a mushiness to them. But this won’t stop me from returning and supporting this local gem
We enjoyed a delicious lunch of steak and ribs here with a party of three. We all agreed that the food was fabulous. Our server MENDEE was phenomenal. She was friendly, thorough, and very knowledgeable on all aspects of the menu. I loved that she double-checked our order with each of us to ensure accuracy. The food was perfectly made and came out in record time. Also loved the music and atmosphere. The only weird thing was the digital payment system at the table which did not allow us to tip in cash only (we had to also add a tip on the computer in addition to tipping in cash) but that was as not huge deal. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Fresh and delishous! GF and I both really enjoyed our meals. Reasonably priced. Picture is of the shrimp rice bowl.
If you want real Ramen, go out to the East Coast, Indy, Chicago, heck the West Coast... this isn't Ramen nor Asian, just a bad imitation.
!!SALTY!! and food lacked proteins, kimchi, etc... the smoked chicken wings were very smoky, which made it taste unappealing.
Wait staff take --- forever, they weren't busy.
Customers, come on and get it together. LOUD talking and kids playing drums on the table with chop sticks, not only do most all restaurants miss the mark anymore but other customers ruine the dining experience for others.

Came here with my best friend for dinner on a Friday. Sushi was delicious had a black jet roll and a cali. The special roll was so good and the California was a California. No complaints good start to the weekend.
I tried the beef birria ramen
The broth was decadent & should be bottled 😁. Peartini was on point and worth $12 various appetizers shared were very good! Bbq Tots, tempura green beans, shrimp & the fried rice.

Ali was a great bartender and truly is the definition of a hard worker. She checked on me, made sure everything was good, and was a great waitress while running a full bar. She definitely needs a raise.
Manager Taylor was very nice also and checked on me to make sure everything was came out well. Thank you guys for working hard and making dinner a great one. 🇺🇸🙌🏼

DON'T DO IT! 🙅🏽♂️ Ate there tonight and the food was not great! My steak was severely underdone basically RAW🤮. The service was even worse. The waitress never gave us her name. But she was ignorant. She tried to over talk us when we were speaking to the manager and she stared us down when it came time for the tip. She dropped our food off and we never saw her again. Normally I enjoy this restaurant but this location was terrible! We still tipped well but she did not deserve it 🤬😤.
We had a table of 17 and they were able to accommodate our group on short notice. Our two servers did amazing! I didn't get one of their names but the one who served our smaller table Sonja was the best and so pleasant to our family. She was very attentive and everything came out super delicious in a timely manner on top of it. We always get medium rare steaks and never leave dissatisfied. We will definitely be back to visit our favorite server 🤗 Way to hustle y'all, keep up the great work at this location!
First time eating here and the food was very good. Not too impressed with lemon rice soup...too thick & have had better. When putting the rest of my lunch in a to go container I noticed a hair in my rice under my chicken breast. Sam was our waitress which by the way she was awesome! She took care of me & my bill. I really appreciated that it was not a debate or argument to make sure I was a happy customer. I will definitely be back. Just that one mishap is not going to hinder me coming back. Try the lemon cake...it is out of this world!
Omg this place is a hidden gem. The food, the service and place is amazing I would definitely recommend this place 10/10. Faith was my waitress she was awesome 🥰
I have been in this restaurant for more than 2 years. I don't know, and I don't understand what's going on with you, but you do everything on your own.I waited more than an hour until they cooked my order. I ordered Sprite and regular water, and she only brought me half a glass. In the way you serve the customers, you will also receive a tip.
My original Philly steak the bread was hard and chewy I ate all the meat threw the bread away. Tots and onion rings were good but the sandwiches were not so great like I’ve had before from there
I never really leave reviews, but this definitely called for one. The Pork Belly bao was burnt to a crisp, and I was unable to even bite into it. The egg in the bowl was also burnt. I typically eat anything, but the bao and egg were inedible.
I went yesterday with my wife and daughter for dinner , we arrived at 7pm and ordered right away since we had other obligations , there was only one table in the dining area but few more in the bar , so they were not busy at all. We ordered three sandwiches and three soups , waitress was very nice polite , she brought our soup right away. Now it’s almost 7:50 and we still don’t have our food , I called the waitress and told her to please bag everything togo as we needed to leave . I don’t understand what took so long for three sandwiches. When we got home all food was cold . I probably will never go back there again I can’t imagine how long will the food take if they were actually busy!!!
i'm from chicago and this is NOT a hoagie. highly disappointed but i should have known better coming from a place in northwest indiana . $12 waste.
Did lunch had soup of day and crab 🦀 cakes. Enough to share for two . Yum 😋. Will be back. Dine with my Sister.
We used to frequent here quite a bit. Recently we've noticed that when we pay cash, the change comes back short. We've said something, they correct it and laugh it off like a mistake. The issue is, it's happened multiple times. The last time it happened however, was a recent take out. I had my child run in to pick up food, paid cash, and came back out. Didn't realize until we got home that the change was ten dollars short. Again. We're done. I'm never going back here again. It's unreal how low some people will go to try to rip you off.
The sandwich was mid. It's not bad, but it's not anything to write home about. Kinda pricey. The staff is very sweet and the restaurant is clean!
Our waitress was Lexx she was so so great made our experience worth the time in here. We will be coming back again do to our experience. Thank You sooo much for making our daughters birthday great
I had been wanting to get into Ramen District since moving to the area and finally came in for dinner on Thursday night this past week. It was delicious! My friend had Dan Dan Noodles which he said were great, and I could not decide between the pork belly and smoked chicken ramen, so I ordered the pork belly and added chicken to it. Smart choice! It was very hot, fresh, and flavorful. I will definitely be coming back!
First time going, went on NYE. The ambiance is nice, low lighting and intimate. Reservations were made; upon arrival we were sat down immediately. It didn't get crowded until about 6ish, not sure if that's the norm or just because it was a holiday. All of the food was good, I ordered the rosemary chicken, and the sampler wasnt bad either. Nicely seasoned and flavorful. Drinks weren't bad, I only had the negative two twelve drink, I believe that's what's called. Pricing varies depending on what you order. But All in all, I'd frequent here again, there are a few other things I'd like to try out on the menu.
This location gives you the BEST customer service experience from beginning to end. My daughter called ahead for a party of 9 as recommended on their website. We were more than welcomed and encouraged to come on in. All the hostesses were smiling and welcoming. We were seated as soon as we walked in. Our server was Connor. He was so awesome! I personally loved watching Connor enjoy his job. I recommend this location to everyone who cares about feeling appreciated. Great job to the boss! You should be proud of yourself, you are running a great restaurant and I just had to brag about my experience. I recommend any size party to come celebrate your occasion with great people. Thank you!
Had a great meal here. Good Ramen can be elusive, but Ramen District to the rescue! The appetizers were all great. The Ramen bowls were delicious. The beef & broccoli Lo Mein was a little salty. The service was on point. If you like Ramen, definitely a try 👍
The staff was friendly, but slick. During happy hour (3-5 everyday) Maki rolls are 1/2 off (as listed on their website). I ordered 4 rolls and an appetizer. The food was alright but after a while the rolls made my mouth feel weird. Also the rice was hard, and not all the fish tasted fresh. When it came time to pay the bill, the waitress forgot to take off the discount. She went back to fix her mistake. When she brought the bill for the second time she informed me the limit for the half price Maki rolls is 2 per table. “I’m sorry didn’t know”, she says. As this limit is not listed on the menu, or website I was also unaware of this stipulation. I paid my bill, tipped the waitress and left. In the future I suggest this restaurant fix their website and inform customers of their stipulations before they order.
I love this place. The food is very fresh. I've visited various sushi places in the area, and nothing compares to Umi. Nothing!!! Small person attention and great kind friendly staff always. There Tuesday and Sunday promo other places can't top it.
This place was very delicious and I love their take on tater tots. Incredible in every aspect.
The philly was about as close to an original as you can get. Get it with Whiz.

Went there at not-so-busy hours. Food was good, however the service was very lacking in the seating and ordering aspect.
Get the app to schedule seating ahead of time (trust me) because they don’t take reservations.
They only serve Prime Rib on Fri, Sat and Sun.
If you aren’t feeling a steak I would highly recommend the pork chops. They are delicious.

I really wanted to love this place! We get sushi from Strack about 2-3 time a week. We are new to the area and didn’t know any good sushi spots. My husband got our food to go, and we live 15 minutes away, we spend $98 and got about $20 worth of sushi! If there was a 0 star option I would select that! The sushi tasted worse than grocery store sushi. Please see picture of what $98 got us. The value and taste was disappointing. Definitely would not recommend.
I wish there was a 0 star option. The rice was so sticky and mushy that I could not see the rice grains, the avocado was all black, and the eel was not cooked. Overall, it was a terrible meal and the worst sushi rolls that I have tasted in my entire life. I would not recommend anyone to come here for sushi rolls and the other bad reviews are most definitely true.
Loved the seaweed salad, it was crunchy and refreshing. Seaweed is something we should eat more of, but isn't usually available.
This restaurant has many varieties of interesting meals!

Very clean, very nice attendants, interesting choices.
Didnt come for the longest time because of the mixed reviews on here. Glad we gave it a shot. The wings were fantastic as an appetizer six on a plate, perfect to split. He got a blueberry lemon spritz lemonade that was good but on the sour side for those who can't handle too much sour. The spicy ramen was great and the drunken noodles were so good. Overall, 9/10 experience. Would recommend giving it a chance!
Nice weekday service on the patio. I found their Riesling to be really refreshing and a great pairing with my roll. I think I was done with my lunch in under 30 minutes, which was perfect for a quick weekday bite.
Ordered the steak philly wit wiz. Should of told them to add onions. Steak sandwich was very good. However a little pricey. 18 bucks for the steak sandwich and small fry. Very nice atmosphere and they have draft beer and some canned beer. They resturant seemed very clean also
I’ve always wanted to have an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, but I haven’t made it to Philly yet. But from what I have seen from pictures and been informed by friends, this is the closest thing you can get next to the real thing.
Regardless, this place is outstanding. The food is incredible, the spot is nice and clean, and the people are extremely friendly.
Sandwiches are great for takeout, but I will say the experience and food is drastically improved when you dine in. In the past I’ve carried out the original and the spicy, but today I had the original with the spicy mayo on the side with some onion rings. An absolutely incredible experience, highly recommend!

Clean restroom.
Great little convenience store which is part of bp gas station. Always have the little snacks I need.
I had the original Philly cheesesteak. The sandwich was AWESOME hot and fresh. The fresh hand cut fries just made the whole experience that much better. Went back this past Friday for a second time and I had the original chicken Philly and the loaded tots which had bacon and cheese in them. The best way to explain the thoughts is like a mashed potato ball with bacon and cheese and fried. That's the best way I can explain it and they were fantastic same with the sandwich. The employees are very happy and very friendly The owner is an awesome guy talked to him for a few minutes he remembered us from the first time we came in.
Over $50 for 2 people to eat with no drinks. I thought this food has to be really good at this price point. I was badly mistaken. The original cheesesteak had no flavor and a very minimal amount of cheese. Chicken parm was on the verge of being inedible. The fries were burnt and soggy. The provolone half moons were actually delicious and it is the only thing that I would order again but I won’t be back. Fried cheesecake was lacking a good cheesecake flavor. The workers were friendly but I’m sure this place will not be open for long. Rating would be closer to a 1.5/5. I do not like leaving bad reviews but I feel like if you want to try this place just order a small amount to start or you will most likely be disappointed spending your hard earned cash.
Finally had a chance to try this place out. Wish I hadn't waited so long. Everything was great and plenty of food. Appetizers and meal were terrific and the service was wonderful!
This was my second visit and definitely an improvement. Three of us all had different dishes and everything was excellent, jambalaya, baby back ribs and tonight special the prime rib... We had a very nice server and prices seemed fair. My only comment will be that the dining room is rather bare Bones and could use a little more ambiance.
If you want hibachi this is not the place, the portions are small and you cannot sit at hibachi table and watch them cook. It is very small in there and the booth is uncomfortable. Salad was very watered down, soup was brown base no noodles, rice was just plain rice (supposedly fried rice) no veggies, steak and shrimp hibachi had like a brown glaze like Chinese dish. Barely any vegetables. My daughter ordered steak with noodles which was really beef w/noodles which I can get from a Chinese restaurant for like $8 compared to $14. Sushi is blah, if u want good sushi just go to Umi. Save yourself some time and pay the extra money and go to House of Kobe. We told the waitress we did not want to pay for the meal because it was not hibachi and tried one bite and did not like it. I stated we would pay for everything we ate but wanted something done with the main meals and they would not do anything. They didn’t even offer to make anything else. The waitress cried to us that she would have to pay for the meal so we asked to speak to the owner and he just complained about how much everything cost now a days- very unprofessional! I will never go here again this is not like TRUE HIBACHI! They ended up only taking 20% off even though we did not eat any of it!
First time dining here. The service was great, our waitress was amazing. I ordered the salmon and loaded mash. It was good, but not amazing. The mash was a little dry for my taste and my salmon didn't have much flavor. The pork chops were very good! Tender and juicy. I will be back, I will just try something else the next time I go.
Philadelphia roll, Angry Wife, Dynamite, 109, Baked Salmon, and Tuna Tartar were all delicious. Clean, bright, calm atmosphere. Wait staff very good. Will definitely return.
Really good stuff. The improvements to the building are excellent. The interior is warm and inviting. The staff was pleasant and welcoming.
The food was excellent. We both had the hibachi, which is not cooked in front of you. The vegetables come with broccoli, so be sure to ask for it without broccoli. The wife had the chicken which she said was good. The steak and shrimp were excellent. The lunch portions are not House of Kobe or Wu's so don't expect to be leaving with a couple meals of leftovers. But the prices are appropriate.
The egg rolls were the best I've ever had.
Plenty of sushi options, if that is your thing.
All around it's a great place and I highly recommend.

My brother and his family frequented this place, so my wife and I had to give it a try. This place is confusingly good. The Baja roll was one of the best sushi rolls we have EVER had, along with one place in Monterrey, California. The cilantro, tuna, and jalapeño are layered perfectly for the best bite. We love sushi places in Chicago, but this is easily comparable if not better. Loved the drinks as well. Our server Emily was awesome, sweet, and friendly too! Will definitely be back as a meeting spot from some family in Indy and us in Chicago. Thanks for this awesome spot
Always good sushi and please order the adult Capri Suns.... You won't be disappointed, nor will you be sober.
Updated remodeling is nice! Our favorite rolls are the Umi and the Red Dragon, but we don't like spicy so those work well for us.

I rate Umi a 4 out of 5 for good food and an okay space.
DETAILS
*FOOD*
I ordered seaweed salad and the Umi and Mamacita sushi rolls. Everything was fresh, tasted good, and was beautifully plated. Prices are fairly reasonable. My bill was $29, and that included a shot of top shelf liquor.
*SERVICE*
My server was attentive without being annoying. She brought everything I asked for without being reminded, and she packaged up the food I could not eat after I was full.
*AMBIENCE/CLEANLINESS*
The vibe and decor don't strike me as a sushi lounge, but whatever, right? The chairs are cloth and had some stains, which kind of grossed me out but I got over it. Everything else appeared clean.
*PARKING*
There are parking spaces out front. They are often full but someone is usually leaving if you wait a few minutes.
*OTHER NOTES*
As far as I could tell, they are not ADA-compliant unless there is an elevator in the back or somewhere else that I did not see. To get up to Umi (which is above their sister restaurant, a steakhouse called PRIME) you have to go up a flight of about 15 stairs.
