The staff was friendly and was very helpful when we had questions about the menu. We were surprised by how solid everything we ordered was, considering this place has a large Asian fusion menu. The buns were good and fluffy. The curry had good flavors. Although the portions could be a bit bigger. The Vietnamese coffee is also good. Overall, the food options here are all good and solid from this experience.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Wonderful experience! We came here after a cold hike and it was just what we needed. We ordered their Chicken Pho, Classic Pho, and Avocado Tofu Curry with sides of Pork Belly Buns and Matcha Milk Teas. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was airy and peaceful. We’ll definitely be back on a summer day when we can try their outdoor patio.

Umi Café is such a hidden gem! We stopped by after a medical appointment and were blown away by how good everything was. I ordered the chicken pho and it was so flavorful, comforting, and delicious. I could honestly eat it every day. My husband had the Umi chicken and said it was packed with flavor as well. We also tried the fries, which were surprisingly great! They were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The location itself is really lovely. They have outdoor seating right next to a koi pond, which creates such a relaxing, peaceful vibe- perfect for enjoying a meal. The combination of amazing food, friendly atmosphere, and such a nice setting makes this spot one we’d absolutely drive back for. Highly recommend!
