This place is very underrated, it offers authentic Chinese and Japanese dishes. I absolutely loved the food. Each and every dish was top notch. The Peking duck is a must. The prices are reasonable compared to Five star standard. Even the staff is very polite and well trained. I'm already looking forward to my next visit here!

The Service and food was great. Ms. Elangbam Dinita Devi was of great help in suggesting the dishes for my friends and family. Enjoyed the ambience as well as the food. Hopefully more seafood dishes like squid,salmon etc. are introduced to the menu.😊

To be honest, I was a little apprehensive about trying this place out. I understand that there are some raving reviews here on Zomato, but sometimes thoses can be deceiving or ostentatious. However, I took a leap of faith and went to Umami with mixed expectations. And now, I can't thank myself enough for having made that choice. And the best part was my mom loved it too. We had a satiating meal with traditional Japanese cuisine. We started off with kanikama maki roll, and moved on with gyoza (Japanese dumplings) and finished off with yakisoba with bulldog sauce (basically they are Japanese style stir fried noodles). And of course we had dessert- Nutella ball. Moreover, I also tried a cocktail called Assam long island white tea. I was the most apprehensive of the sushi,as I have heard many people with their sushi horror stories. Thankfully though, I won't be one of those people. Those maki rolls were amazing. And I couldn't have asked for a better way to start off the meal. Only complaint I had was that they were little too small in size(I wanted to gorge on some more). Next we had vegetarian gyoza, which are nothing but Japanese style dumplings. Those were soft in texture and light in taste and were served warm. The condiments that were served along with them did those dumplings justice. The filling was a naturally sweet yet earthy paste of local beans, and I really digged that unique flavor. Simple yet delightful. For main course,we went for something old school- noodles of course. Well I won't say that those noodles were out of the ordinary or would take you to food heaven, but they were delicious. The quantity was sufficient for two and they were well cooked. However, I did feel that the noodles were a little dry and could use some more of that bulldog sauce. Also, I had this amazing drink called a Assam long island iced white tea, a rendition of our favorite classic LIIT. This drink was so refreshing! And I really liked the white tea accent that was not at well overpowering. And it complimented the rest of the meal really well. Now the only disappointment however, was the dessert. It wasn't bad, but it was too sweet...I mean TOO SWEET. The sweetness overpowered all the other flavors that the desert had, the sesame, the ice cream everything. I sort of regretted ordering that, in fact that was the only regret I had. However, the experience as a whole was a satisfying one and I would not mind going back once a while. Cheers!

Location: Khanapara, Guwahati Food: Umami by Taj particularly serves Chinese food. But we were a group of 20 and they happily agreed to serve north indian food from their another Resturant. We had the luxury of ordering both Chinese and North Indian food. Our order: Hot and sour soup 🍲 Veg manchow soup 🥣 Veg sushi 🍣 Noodles 🍝 Paneer butter masala Alloo jeera fry Dal makhani Breads - tadoori roti, stuffed kulcha and butter naan Desert - gurr wali kulfi Good food but Special mention to the Kulfi— MUST try. Rest of the food was good but I didn’t feel it was any different as compare to an ordinary Resturant. Ambience: Nice and calm sorroundings Perfect place for a date They have good decorations and nice spots for clicking pictures. Service: Too slow We ordered the food an hour advance. I understand they cook fresh food, but more than an hour wait was little too much. Overall good experience!! No pics for this post. Keep reading, Liking and commenting!!

I have always wanted to visit this place. Finally made it through this December. It was a great experience. The ambience is definitely lovely. It is tidy. And the staffs are very polite and were happily explaining the menu contents whenever requested. Although I hv made a table reservation through Zomato and requested for a birthday cake. But it was not possible since a birthday cake could be arranged for large number of people. What I loved more was- upon request they got us a vibrant, beautiful and plate full of flavours for dessert as complimentary. We ordered for starter followed by main course and a dessert. Watermelon juice the price was bit hyped. EBI Furai, Shredded Lamb, and Stir fried Hakka noodles- tasted perfect. The shrimps were really yummy. Had a great small celebration. 🙂

Went there with my family and my cousins. As I was throwing the evening dinner I wanted it to be fully exotic and it turned up pretty well. Good to see that gauhati is living up to other metro citites.

Dimsums could’ve been much better as the other fast food stalls provide better taste. Highly overpriced, which isn’t required for few items. Why does a juice costs ₹275 and dimsums ₹900 ?!! Does it really required !!

We were served smelly rotten pork ( Ordered Pork Barbecue Two-way ) at Umami, Taj Guwahati and I did gave them feedback. I thought, I won't write the review here or anywhere but I puke once I reach home, that change my mind. They sourced their frozen pork from Kolkata and not fresh at all. It was rotten smelly bad meat and spoiled our whole evening celebration at Taj. Never going there again and I suggest not to go there if you don't want to eat smelly rotten pork. Shame! Spoiling the Taj Brand name.
