Japanese-style restaurants are unusual and this one is very well done. They include chopsticks and the dishes feel very authentic- I had a pork ramen and it came in a wooden bowl with a wooden spoon and chopsticks (knife and fork were included too).
The ramen flavour was delightful and I had a Taiyaki for dessert (a fish-shaped chocolate-filled pancake with ice cream). The Taiyaki was more or less the same taste as a Nutella pancake but in the shape of a fish.
The portion sizes are also generous.
Update: ate there again and had the fresh prawn katsu special (pictured). Again, the taste blew me away. The prawns melted in my mouth and the sides went with it perfectly- the only downside was the chillis were a bit too hot for my liking, so I left them.
Had the apple gyoza for dessert and it was a bit like apple crumble slices wrapped in pastry with a caramel sauce.

Umi went above and beyond, earning my utmost admiration and a wish for a sixth star if it were possible! The service extended exceptional friendliness, accommodating my large party at short notice for a birthday celebration. Their efficiency, warm demeanor, and even the delightful surprise of a complimentary cocktail truly exceeded expectations.
The presentation of dishes at Umi was a visual delight, artfully composed and generously portioned. The flavors showcased a dedication to quality ingredients and innovative recipes, setting them apart from typical Asian cuisine.
The staff demonstrated commendable teamwork in effortlessly handling the bill-splitting process for our group of eighteen. Additionally, engaging in conversation with the owner added a personal touch, enhancing our dining experience.
Umi proved to be the perfect venue for my birthday celebration, deserving of the recognition it has yet to fully receive. Without a doubt, it stands as the highlight of my culinary experiences thus far. When I return to Tenby I will certainly eat at Umi again!
Food here is fantastic. Great portions too. It was our last evening and the perfect end to the week.
