Umi

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.

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

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!

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.
