Japanese Fine Dining @ Umai



- This Restaurant Serves No Pork -

After receiving a few comments that I should do a food review at the new Japanese restaurant in town called Umai, I finally had the chance to eat there this afternoon.


This one-month-old fine dining restaurant is located at the D'Junction building, on the first floor..

What you can find on your table

Okay, on to the food pics! We were surprised by the long list of menus, that it took us quite a long time to decide what to have! But we asked for some recommendations and they are:


Our appetizer, the Maguro Karpacho, which is basically red tuna..

Then for our side dish, we ordered:


California Temaki..


andSpider Maki.

And for our main dish, the BF ordered this:


5 Type Sushi Set

According to him, the sushi were easy to eat and easy to take using the chopsticks. He said overall, this is a well balanced sushi set with a lot of side dish. Presentation once again was very good, and it tasted delicious as well.


Beef Shogayaki Set

As for me, I ordered the Beef Shogayaki Set, and even though it took the longest time of all to arrive (all the other food had arrived much earlier), it was worth the wait. The beef were tender and delicious. And like the BF's order, my set lunch included a lot of side dish as well. Loved the steamed egg. Delicious!

And for dessert, we were recommended to try the mango pudding. Unlike ordinary pudding, which is soft and jellylike, this pudding tasted the opposite. No jelly taste at all. It's practically real mango, and this is due to the large amount of real mango used in making the pudding. But it's really worth a try, especially if you love mango. Delicious!

Can you all believe only the two of us ate that much for lunch? Crazy, I tell you! And the total bill came up to more than RM100, but hey, it's not everyday we get to eat at a fine dining restaurant. But then again, the prices of the food there are quite reasonable, and we love the food presentation! Excellent experience all around!

So we'll definitely be back again at this restaurant! And if you love Japanese food as well, and love eating at a calm and nice ambience, the Umai is definitely the place to go.
