Nice ambience and a place with plenty of drinks to offer. Food wise, there is variety. Don't expect to find much Japanese kind of dishes but the Thai curry ones might be the closest one find to Asian taste. The service is fantastic, pleasant and friendly - explaining how the dishes are served to newbies like us. The cauliflower tempura is a must try. You can expect to foot out $50 per person if you intend to have a decent meal with a drink.
I truly think this is one of the best fusion restaurants in Tauranga arguably in NZ. All the plates are well decorated and foods are great. I especially like the Japanese Eggplant. Hope everyone enjoy this place
The service was great and the food was delicious. The food is so well put together and well presented. The flavour combinations are so good my favourite was the Beef tataki and pork bao buns. We left very full and the price for the amount of food we had was pleasantly surprising. Well worth the visit and another gem on our doorstop.
Honestly the best food I have ever had in my entire life. Let's just say, if I was given the choice of a last meal. This is where I'd have it. ???? The staff were very kind and helpful and walked us through all the meal portions because all the food is shared instead of being eaten alone. (Cultural Thing)
Our first time to Umami Fusion Kitchen. Great atmosphere and amazing staff. A different experience as all the food is shared. We were a group of 12 and their system was new to most of us. Tom , the young waiter was absolutely brilliant. He explained how it worked to one end of the table, then came down to the other end and went through it again to make sure everyone was clear. He knew all the dishes, how they were prepared, the spice content (as some of us couldn't tolerate spicy dishes) and the quantities. It was hard to order shared dishes for 12 so we deviated from their normal protocol and ended up ordering a starter each and a main each which we just shared. The food was amazing. Something different and full of flavour , and certainly sufficient for the price. . .Tom worked with us and nothing was too much trouble. We take our hats off to you Tom . . . .you blew us away with your service. As an all round experience, definitely 5 Stars without a doubt . .
