UMAI RAMEN & IZAKAYA - Japanese restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Good food from a Japanese chef

Amazing new place that needs all support and love! Actually owned by Japanese, so the whole experience feels authentic. Cheap prices, good food, fresh beer, lovely atmosphere! Coming again!!

We were a family of three,two parents and one teenager. We heard that the owner is Japanese, and since we have a long history with Japan, we were curious to visit. We definitely weren't disappointed. The restaurant has a fun, authentic Japanese izakaya atmosphere. The local female staff had worked and studied in Japan, so they all spoke Japanese! We spent the whole meal chatting with them in Japanese, and we had a wonderful time laughing and enjoying the conversation. Every dish we ordered and we ordered almost everything on the menu was delicious and full of authentic Japanese flavors. To top it all off, the bill was very reasonable. We highly recommend this place to anyone who misses the food and atmosphere of a true Japanese izakaya.

The restaurant is clean, friendly and amazing staff and the best part is that THE FOOD IS VERY VERY GOOD AND very affordable! AUTHENTIC! One of the best Japanese restaurants in Saigon!

110k chicken curry is tiny! Just two small pieces chicken and a small bit of rice and curry. I finished it very quickly. So expensive for what it is. I was hungry leaving the restaurant.
