They say dynamite come in small packages, but at Urban Umami, they come in small plates. 🥢✨

Our menu is designed for sharing, exploring, and tasting a bit of everything - but let’s be honest: the Pork Belly always steals the show. Perfectly crisp, incredibly tender, and packed with that signature umami punch.

It’s the plate that everyone reaches for first (and fights over the last bite of). 😉

Come for the variety, stay for the pork belly.
