UMAI Hot Pot & Asian Cuisine

I highly recommend. Food was amazing and staff was extremely nice! My family and I enjoyed a great lunch and will definitely be returning.

Hot pots DO NOT STAY LIT. So food is cool, than warm, than cool than warm, see the algorithm here? Waitress tried to keep up but with cold food and equipment that doesn't stay lit, she couldn't keep up. Have no fear, if you do recieve cold food and cold hot pot, they will discount you 15% off. The California Rolls were 2.5 star, egg rolls 3 stars, teriyaki chicken should have been called grilled chicken with a splash of msg. Veggies are raw and unsealed. Total wait time for order to table was 40 minutes. There was 6 other people in the restaurant. Do better.

this is literally a diamond in the rough. the atmosphere was so tranquil, traditional but nature-focused and feminine. i wish i took a picture of the inside, it was so beautiful.

staff was absolutely so friendly and nice, our hostess/waitress was so welcoming and talkative with me and other customers.

food itself was spectacular. i wish i came on an empty stomach because i wanted to try EVERYTHING on the menu. the beef bulgogi soup/hot pot was chefs kiss. the beef itself was so sweet with the balance of the other savory ingredients. let me tell you, that tofu was literally the best i've ever had.

if i'm ever uptown and start to get a craving, i know exactly where i'll head to!! definitely the best restaurant in the area. i cannot recommend this enough.

10/10. Everything was so yummy ! We got the Korean spicy noodles + fried sushi. Not only was the food good but the waitress was so friendly.

cold pot

We call in and ask to get a reservation, they say no. We send friends in as we are driving there to get us on the wait list, they say no. We get there right as we would have been sat if we were on the wait list, and we get told there’s too long of a wait where we don’t even have time to eat before we need to leave for work. They need some kind of system, because the current one is horrible. If you want to eat Kpot, go to the one in Ft Smith or Little Rock.

Loved this place the food was delicious and so is the people there

The food was a fantastic, we got the hot pot and the pork in it was the best we've had in our lives! We got one hot pot per person and it was way too much food, one to split between two people would've been perfect. We also got the fried California role and it was scrumptious. The service is what made me write this review because it was the best! All of our waitresses were super nice, checked on us frequently, and had the brightest smiles. I think they serisouly love their jobs and they make you feel the same happiness. Everything was a 10 out of 10.

Very kind service. Some of the best service around. Lots of options and great food. Very filling. You get your money's worth.

Gracious young hostess who gave great service was amazing! The foods we ordered for the three of us were delicious and prepared well - tried a fried sushi roll, beef bulgogi rice bowl, tonkatsu ramen, edamame & some gochujang chicken wings that were messy but very tasty ! The lit cherry tree that gives a soft glow is the best table / seat in the house! My only complaint is that the metal chairs are terribly uncomfortable if you have hips like me!! Also, you have to use your phone as a menu.

Got this from Door Dash.
Im a food critic and this place was wonderful. Even with delivery, which is hard to receive well.
Everything was wonderful. Got $100 worth of food.
They even sent cute messages and pictures 0n the to go boxes.
You just got a new customer for life

Food was delicious! Ordered tofu spicy Korean noodles, razorback and oh baby sushi rolls, flavor were on point. Adding Umai to my favorites.

Was looking forward to this, but don't see myself coming back. There are just too many other better options in the area and there's no need to make this place a priority. Sorry ya'll.

Food and sauces are cheap, some premade, not seasoned much and you can taste it. If you eat a lot of Asian cuisine, you know whats been simmering all day, vs what came out of a jar or just got dropped in some oil from the fridge.

Service was pretty good, but it's the tired QR code menu format, just swapped the old Napoli booths for tables, and not much else. Lunch on a Friday was pretty empty so I don't imagine this place will be around long.

I went there with my friend and had an amazing meal and experience. Alexis was our server and she was very engaging and knowledgeable. I had the beef bolgogi and it was delicious. There was plenty to take home and enjoy later.. I highly recommend!

First time here. The hot pots were great. We will be back.
