Umai in Nottingham

RACIST! Avoid at all costs! I was racially profiled at this store by the security guard. He accused me (a black womanof stealing when I mistook the entry for an exit. I have been a loyal customer of Umai Oriental Street Food Cafe, regularly buying their bubble tea but NEVER AGAIN! The security guard harassed me and shouted obscenities even though he could see my purchases in my hand. Dont bother spending your money here; it is all overpriced tat anyways! Literally, what could you even steal? NOODLES?! I was honestly shocked. I knew something was going on when he walked past me, staring TWICE while I was waiting for my bubble tea to be ready. I walked in, ordered bubble tea, waited for said tea and left the shop, never looking at any product in any aisle!All employees seem to have misdirected their efforts into being racist instead of providing basic customer service.When I called back asking for the security guards details for my police report, instead of being met with helpfulness and sympathy about the situation. The phone attendant was whispering to what I can only imagine was the racist security guard. He refused to give any details and instead wanted to collect my details to "pass on". He also tried to intimidate me by saying that he would hear the racist security guards "report" of the incident later. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. What a terrible start to black history month!*if you delete this review I will continue to repost it everyone deserves to be warned about racism

What can say about this place… heaven on earth. The succulent popping balls to the creamy custard and to top it off the Mayo they use is out of this world. I’ve never have that blue Crystal from breaking bad but that is what I imagine my meal deal would be like that. Bliss

I was meaning to give this place a go for sometime, and I finally got round to it. Now, this place will be my go to for grabbing some lunch. I went for the beef bowl with pork dumplings and a bbq pork steam bun, all for £8.50. The quality is very reminiscent of meals I had in Japan in both flavour and quality, which I had plenty of whilst there. The quantity of what you get is very decent, especially when you consider othe places youd consider going for a bite to eat, probably spend the same, and then leave feeling hungry still. Couldnt recommend this place enough if you need a good bite to eat or have a craving for something outside the norm. Ill be back soon!

had the lunch set meal - iced lemon tea, pork bun, and a rice bowl all for £8!

This places food is really nice I tried the steamed buns and Korean chicken curry today and the price is also quite cheap for the meal deals they have a range of drinks and other foods theres also a shop inside which sells loads of foods from Korea and again its cheap for what you want to buy I highly recommend this shop

Fantastic selection of uncommon but delicious asian street food, paired with a great range of sweet teas. Great service and friendly environment.

Food was really nice and freshly cooked. Cant complain, especially at the price. Well worth a visit. They have a small seating area to eat in, or an option to take away.

TASTY food, great portion size and wonderful service! My partner LOVES the korean curry bowl and I am obsessed with veg okonomiyaki, char siu baos and the shredded beef bowl takes me back to my trip to Japan it has such a delicious flavour! Thank you Umai!!! 😍

Amazing food and drinks, and lovely staff. I had combo bowl with strawberry milk tea 😍

I have been to Umai a few timed with my family and they offer amazing service and food everytime and the restaurant area. We tend to order: Korean Pancakes , Chicken Dumpling ( Gyoza), Steamed buns and Korean Curry. Their bubble tea is also very nice. They have a range of East Asian meals and products. The last time we came we took Mochi and Thai Prawn Crackers home. I would definitely recommend Umai and I would come again!

Cant praise Umai enough. Food absolutely delicious. Staff Uber helpful. Its a must try if you havent already. Thanks so much. One happy tummy yet again x

Lunch menu deals are really good value and very delicious

Fantastic little place at the back of the market, the smells were brilliant and the taste of the food was even better! Its definitely worth visiting and I cant wait to go back

Lovely little cafe at the back of the oriental mart. Food is delicious and served very quickly. Bubble tea is also very tasty. Service is friendly and efficient. It seems to be set up more for takeaway but there are a few comfy stools facing the window for people wanting to eat in.

love it

Such nice food!

Pretty good food at a reasonable price!
