“ I frequent Umai weekly. It’s my go to Friday night dinner spot! We have an amazing and super friendly bartender that serves great drinks, brings our food fast and always has a fun attitude! If you are in Porters Neck area of Wilmington, stop in and grab any of the sushi options and you will not be disappointed! And if you’re not a fan of sushi, their noodle bowls and curries are to die for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ”

Max had a couple of challenges during our visit, but he had a sense of humor about it and maintained a great attitude. Plus, Max's menu dish suggestions were on point!! Thanks Max!! We can't wait to go back! ”
“ Been going to Tokyo and Umaii since opening and as usual the food is very good. Last night was special despite a difficult couple weeks for my daughter : We had this wonderful waitress Sam (a graduate student) who took time to speak with my daughter about challenges. The chat was a therapy session and the guidance completely transformed her attitude. Thank you Sam ”
“ Excellent authentic Thai food experience! Everything tasted very . Our server, Emma was extremely friendly and professional. Love that she knew how to make suggestions for my gluten-free diet needs. The menu was also well marked with what was gluten-free. Just moved to this area and it is our favorite asian food restaurant so far of the ones we’ve tried in the Wilmington area. ”
“ Amazing first impression from the door to the booth. Great service and atmosphere. I’m going in on the Drunken Noodle. Very clean place. The Drunken Noodle is on point! The Garden Rolls have no flavor unless you add the sauce. I recommend checking this place out. ”
“ My Mom and I stopped in to give Umaii a try for lunch and we were so pleasantly surprised at how clean this little restaurant was and how delicious the food is! We highly recommend giving them a try, we are from Up north and this will take the place of one of our favorite thai restaurants we use to visit often. We are so happy we found them! The crispy spring rolls are amazing along with the vegetable pad thai and Tom Ka Soup. The staff is absolutely wonderful as well! ”
“ Michael was our server. We came in from out of town and wanted to grab a bite to eat. The food, service, and atmosphere was amazing. We had shrimp pad see ew, Tom yum soup, & beef garlic pepper. I highly recommend and will be back next time in town. ”
