Umami Japanese Restaurant - (Near Surrey, london)

christopher pay We had a lovely weekend stay in a very clean and comfortable accessible room behind the main building. Chocolates, classical music and a personal welcome greeted us in our room, which was a very thoughtful touch. Lovely, friendly staff, nice casual atmosphere, great location on Dorking’s Main Street, with easy access to all local pubs and restaurants. Although the pub restaurant is very good, so you don’t need to go anywhere else if you just want flop! Will certainly return when the weather improves…

SY K Delicious Thai food at a reasonable price! I had the shrimp Pad Thai and it was absolutely delicious. I stumbled upon this place by chance, but the flavors really suited my Asian palate — plus, the portions were generous!

Charles Weir Great little shop. More spaces then Reigate branch and great atmosphere. Always love there pizza.

G M Our experience for lunch was very good. The service is impeccable by the Italian waiter. Many of the courses were standouts, such as the tartare and other appetisers, the cod, the stone bass, and the chocolate mousse (best mousse I’ve ever had). The very last surprise course at the end is a touch of genius - I won’t spoil it because I really appreciated the surprise factor. The duck was slightly underwhelming - I think it would benefit from the skin being crunchy. Food quantity was good. The lunch lasted probably 2h which is my personal max but that’s subjective, some people like it longer/shorter. The food kept coming throughout the 2h which is key - we were not left waiting for courses. The choice of wine by the glass is limited but we found a good 1er cru Chablis, which though was very overpriced. The venue is cozy, but not a highlight. The tables are large and sofa seating is comfortable. The kitchen looks very nice with big windows and light coming in, which I’m sure helps the chef and cooks there do a good job. The bill came at 380gbp for 2 tasting menus and 3 glasses of wine.

Josiah Ward Really enjoyed eating here with a group of friends. We arrived half an hour before the kitchen closed but the staff were really nice and helpful. They told us straight away they were missing a couple of items but they could make up for it by giving us more of other items. Our waitress was really friendly and funny, and the other staff who spoke to us were amazing, too. The roast dinners we had were also delicious and offered hearty portions, which you dont always get with pub roasts, despite the price. Overall, we had a fantastic evening, elevated by the atmosphere generated by the staff at the pub. If we are ever in Dorking again, we will definitely stop by!

Amber We are regulars at Jessica’s restaurant and have been for 7+ years. Every time the food is excellent and the service is impeccable. All you can eat on a Sunday is great, even better that you order it off the menu and everything is fresh. Highly recommend.
