Fantastic experience: The overall experience was very good, and the food excellent, the only point that did not convince us were the desserts, those that came by excessively small menu, (the white plate) and those that came by expensive menu in excess for what they were, what we took, very impressive but 16 € were exorbitant.

Fantastic experience: I had heard about Umai for a long time, and finally one night we went there unexpectedly. From the first moment the service was excellent, very good service, with explanations of each dish and recommendations. Regarding the food, just perfect. Very well made, very original proposals and flavors of those unique that make you remember that place forever. Prices according to quality. The dishes are considerably plentiful. We will be back without a doubt.

Fantastic experience: The deal of ten. The food, incredible and everything very careful down to the smallest detail. Highly recommended place not only for lovers of Japanese food, but for all those who are looking for an unparalleled culinary experience in Girona. Plain and simple, all of our experiences at Umai have been excellent from start to finish. 5/5 Update: We recently returned (3/15/23) and am happy to say that both the attentive and friendly service and the quality of the food remain excellent. The intimate atmosphere and the widest variety of options make Umai one of the best restaurants in Girona.

Cesar Tetra 04/04/2022

Fantastic experience: It is the third time we come to the Umai restaurant, we discovered it in 2018 and we repeated it again at the end of that same year. Now 2021 we have returned to the pleasant surprise that the quality remains the same and we have once again enjoyed a spectacular dinner. We started by ordering some scallops with foie, truffles and some other ingredient that I can't remember now, providing a great balance, they were delicious, what a great combination between these two flavors. Great, we left the plate clean. Very highly recommended. We continue with a Udon with breaded shrimp and lobster broth, perhaps not the best choice for a summer night, but we loved it, very different from the Udon we have tried in other restaurants. We ordered 2 sushi rolls, one with confit duck and another with salmon, both tremendous and a great amount, so much so that we had to cancel the last dish because we weren't able to finish it. The truth is that every time we have ordered sushi we have loved it, there is one of smoked salmon with oak smoke I think I remember brutal. Great the 3 times we've come, and it won't be the last.

Fantastic experience: One of the most exquisite sushis I have tasted in my long life, the only bad thing about the food is that it ends. They cook in front of you under an impeccable professional in which the service accompanies to perfection. Delicious food and a great variety of flavors. Unbeatable

Fantastic experience: Nice and elegant Japanese restaurant. On weekdays they make lunch menu with different dishes, all moooolt good. We tasted the gyozas, the octopus fritters and the sushi box. All very good and spectacular. Too bad the desserts, which have not quite convinced us. Also, I recommend it and we will be back for sure !!

lorena ribot 26/03/2022

Fantastic experience: Without having a very extensive menu, dishes of very good quality and with an unbeatable presentation, also if you want to enjoy watching how they cook, ask to sit at the bar, it is a joy! Of course, the restaurant is small, for about 30 people at most and without a reservation it is usually difficult to get a table.

Roger Guillamon Granell 27/02/2022

Fantastic experience: I have never been a big fan of Japanese food because I don't like fish but some co-workers took me and it was a pleasant surprise; They have several lunch menus where you combine different options and there is also a half menu option with a single dish. There are all kinds of sushi or fish but also chicken dishes. Very good and great value for money. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Superb food but very weak service, slow as hell. Also, and this in particular, I got tired of speaking Spanish and no one was able to say a single word to me in something that wasn't Catalan. I understand that I was in Catalonia and the language must be protected, but if someone is speaking to you in Spanish because they do not understand Catalan, a little education please

Fantastic experience: Spectacular Japanese restaurant in every way !! For work reasons I have been lucky enough to visit different options of this type of cuisine throughout the country. UMAI is without a doubt one of the best. The offer is very good and all with top quality products. The price may "sting" a bit but the quality and workmanship make up for it. The staff is excellent (very professional !!). In addition, they have a very good selection of wines. If you live in Girona, province or come to visit it is an essential place.

Eugin DC 03/11/2021

Fantastic experience: DELICIOUS!! In one word. We ate a lunchtime menu, but it is very tasty and authentic Japanese. They are not the typical dishes that you find in a European Japanese. The kitchen is in sight and everything is very clean. The only thing we don't like is that when the second shift comes around, they kick you out not very kindly. They are not exactly friendly, but it is worth it for the cuisine.

Bárbara Fernández 03/11/2021

Fantastic experience: The best Japanese restaurant I have ever visited. We were 4 people and we ordered two starters, ramen and five sushi dishes in addition to coffee and infusion and two glasses of wine. Everything was excellent and, although we had a problem with the reservation because they did not have it written down, in 30 minutes it was solved. The product is first class and our service was very correct. Highly recommended. Quality price 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Very efficient, fast, the kitchen is in full view right where the bar is. Very clean, all the workers have a lot of organization among themselves, each one knows what to do and there is almost no dialogue between the workers while they are in the kitchen. The food on the other hand is very good and due to the mixture of ingredients that they usually make, one is more than satiated! The price is fair for what they serve you.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I went here whilst in Girona for my Birthday. From the friendly service to the outstanding fusion of flavours, this place has something for everyone. I believe everyone should try authentic Japanese food and although Umai is classed as fusion, it's about as good as any place I ate at whilst in Japan and the quality of ingredients is on point! Give it a try! :)

Fantastic experience: Delicious food. Their risotto is probably the best I have ever eaten. The sushi is also spectacular and it is great to see live as they do and the amount of quality product they put into it. We also tried the tartar, the gyozas, the meat and the mochis. All great. The price is somewhat high but is consistent with the quality of the dishes

Fantastic experience: Very good restaurant with Japanese cuisine in Girona. The good, the good quality, and the bad, are slow, but it also has its positive side, come in time and enjoy a good meal, nobody will hurry. We have done a 'Hotate to foie grass' (scallops with foie gras), and a assortment of sushi that has prepared us, very good all. We had requested a 'Maguro Tataki', when we saw the assortment, we canceled it in time, sushi was generous. We have tried the desserts, an 'Mmmua ...', an assortment of mango in different textures. The menu on the website is not updated, the desserts range from € 8.55. With water and two glasses of wine, total € 70.
