This restaurant is beautiful! Very welcoming and clean. The food is very good! I ordered a few rolls to share as well as the takoyaki which were amazing!! The dessert was surprisingly great!! We ordered the creme brûlée which had a nice thick outer shell perfectly caramelized. Service was good and catered to all our needs without being overly invasive.
Overall great experience.

We weren't in the mood to cook on a Friday night, so we decided to visit Umu Japanese & Thai Restaurant for dinner. Although we didn't have a reservation, the wait time just 10-15 minutes before we were seated.
The ambiance was lively and welcoming, filled with people enjoying their meals. We were greeted by our server, Jourdyn, who brought us water and menus right away.
After chatting with Jourdyn and going over the menu, we ordered the Smokey Dragon and Typhoon sushi rolls, Crab Croquette as our appetizer, Pad Thai for our Thai entree, and a Thai Iced Tea to go with our meal.
The Thai Iced Tea arrived first, it was flavorful, and made well. Our appetizer, the Crab Croquette, came after and had a rich, crab filling, a great way to start the meal.
Then came our entrees. The sushi rolls were beautifully presented and delicious, especially the Typhoon Roll, which was crispy and full of flavor and definitely the standout of the night. The Smokey Dragon was also fresh and well-balanced. Pad Thai was full of flavor, with perfectly cooked noodles and tender chicken that made it a comforting and satisfying dish.
Overall, the food was flavorful and satisfying -- a great spot for both Japanese and Thai cuisine.

I had the Thai Fried Rice with chicken and it was absolutely amazing! The flavors were perfectly balanced—savory, just the right amount of seasoning, and the chicken was tender and delicious. The portion size was generous for it to be lunch and left me completely satisfied. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely one of the best Thai food experiences I’ve had—I’ll be coming back for more!

Amazing Atmosphere, Amazing Food, and Extraordinary Service. Came here w family to have dinner and it did not disappoint. We had the steak, pork and chicken skewers - Amazing. My brother said the pork skewer is the best in Tampa. The steak was A1.
I ordered spicy tuna roll and lemon grass spicy soup and was not disappointed! I would strongly recommend the skewers, coconut sake, as well as the green curry.
Shoutout to the owner for coming out, showing love and making recommendation. Definitely plan to come back.
Lastly, the decor is amazing. I personally love the themed roses growing from the room top and hanging over the tables. Great spot for any event, but highly recommended for dates

The service and food is good, but the portions are SO SMALL.
My husband's green curry was mostly a bowl of sauce and about 2oz of meat.

We made a reservation for Saturday night and our table was ready when we arrived.
Our server was great - very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the dishes.
We had sushi and tried a couple of the dinners - everything was delicious, fresh, came out in a timely manner, and portion sizes were good.
The only thing to note is that they do not have a bar and only serve beer and wine - and both options are overpriced.
Definitely recommend and we will be back. It's well decorated and a nice environment
