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.

Was excited to try here having read great things about their street food. Service was great, we got there before dinner service started and it was pretty much full by 1800. Its new, popular, walk-ins only and you can see why. Be patient...if you don't want to wait, get there when they start serving at 1730. Drinks menu was fantastic, lovely choice of 1 local craft and Asian beers and also some nice Japanese gins and a brilliant whiskey on the menu. Food was as a good as I hoped, fresh, tasty, authentic and filling. Must have gyoza...whenever I see them I must order them so they are a given! The prawns were great and the spicy pork bowl was perfect. It was pretty spicy so just be mindful of what you are ordering. I also had to have the chocolate fish pancake, which, accompanied with the whisky was the perfect end to a perfect meal out. Also to note, we don't have kids but there were quite a few in there, the menu is child friendly and a great learning experience for having little ones try some new things!
Absolutely delicious, great food and wonderful service. We went with our dog and toddler and they were fantastic with both. The food was great as was the cocktail! We had edamame and prawns to start, donburi scallops and udon prawns for main. With a kids salmon and udon noodles. Highly recommend!
I had the udon with tofu, girlfriend had the sticky teriyaki tofu. Both delicious but very filling. The chicken gyozas were nice too. For dessert we shared this fish-shaped pancake thing that had some nutella-y filling and some vanilla ice cream. Wish we had enough room for one each. Drinks selection is okay though the Harbwr ale I had was lovely.
Honestly from the moment I walked it to I walked out faultless! I could go on and on about how good the experience was, but just read all the other reviews.
Im new to these flavours so if your like me ask the staff and they will talk you through the menu and customise it to your taste bud.
The staff and the service they gave 10/10 food 10/10
If you going to moan about price go over the road pay £12 for your frozen burger! If you want a sublime meal with immense flavours, this is the place!!
Drinks are very reasonable for the area!
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Umi for my partners birthday, the staff were so attentive and went above and beyond for her. Setting and food was wonderful. Will go back. Would recommend booking!
A great place to visit in Tenby, the food was first class, the staff pleasant and efficient. The atmosphere was good. We didn’t sample the drinks so can’t comment on costs but the noodles and prawns were £17 a portion and a small portion of seasoned/savoury/chilli garlic skin on fries was £6.
It’s a place you need to book, they prefer on line as they rarely answer the phone, the also require a £10 deposit per person on booking. Enjoy
Enjoyed a delicious Japanese inspired meal. Something a bit different on offer in Tenby. Colourful dishes and something for everyone, ie gluten free, veggie vegan offerings. Would recommend 👌
Lovely food. Particularly enjoyed the garlic and ginger prawns with udon noodles. Always appreciate water being provided without having to ask.
Absolutely fantastic food at a great price with lovely vegan options - udon noodles and teriyaki were both amazing. Highly recommended.
Lovely food and incredible staff who were obviously under a lot of pressure during a busy time but still delivered fantastic service. Food on the pricey side but nice big portions and delicious. Would definitely recommend
Delicious food. Friendly staff and excellent service.
Would highly recommend if you love Japanese food. Catered for us at short notice and went above and beyond to attend to our needs! Many thanks
The food here is SO GOOD! Was actually one of the best meals I've ever had. The service was amazing; our waitress was very attentive and lovely. Definitely recommend.
Umi is back and the Small Plates food of Calamari, Oysters, Prawns, Gyoza, Filthy fries and service were all top notch. Can’t wait to go again! 😋
