There are restaurants, and then there is Umami Taste – a place where food goes beyond boundaries and becomes an experience. From the very first bite of the beef tartare we knew we had discovered something special; we looked at each other and without saying a word knew it was the best we had ever tasted. The ravioli with fondue cheese and peach took us to another dimension of flavor, a sweet-and-savory combination that is almost impossible to put into words. The main courses – pulled pork sandwich and ramen – were true masterpieces. The juiciness of the meat, the richness of the broth, the fact that they make their own miso soup and cook the pork sous vide for 48 hours – all of it speaks of passion and love for gastronomy. The portions are generous, and every bite tells a story. And just when we thought it was all over, the cheesecake arrived – decorated like a piece of art, melting in the mouth and rounding off the perfect experience. What sets this place apart is not only the food, but the people. The staff, with their genuine smiles and warm presence, make you feel like you’re dining at dear friends’ home. In such a relaxed atmosphere, we enjoyed dishes worthy of a Michelin star. Umami Taste is a restaurant we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to experience what true love for food really means.

Ramen was super delicious. Rich and flavourful but not heavy. Very classy restaurant interiors. Great service - was happy that they allowed us to dine last minute as we didn’t make a reservation.

Umami Taste in St. Gallen is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a super friendly and passionate team . The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for enjoying a comforting bowl of ramen . Their ramen is on another level – rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and toppings that make every bite pure joy . The Peanut Chili Ramen is a must-try – creamy, spicy, and bursting with flavor, it’s the kind of dish you’ll keep dreaming about long after you’ve finished it . If you’re in St. Gallen and love authentic, soulful food, this place is a no-brainer. 100% recommended!
