I recently visited Umami Kid Ramen Bar with my brother, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The ramen was top-notch. Rich, authentic, and incredibly flavorful. The portion sizes were generous, which was a pleasant surprise! The service was warm and welcoming and the atmosphere was vibrant and unique, definitely unlike anything else in Uptown Saint John.
