Izakaya Ume Japanese Restaurant in Tewkesbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely little restaurant, great food and service, particularly enjoyed the sushi and yakatori, would recommend, only 2 mins walk from the camp site and offer takeaway

Anyone who enjoys Sushi will not be disappointed at Izakaya ume restaurant. Warm welcome and comfortable setting, excellent selection of rolls and other choices, my personal selection was the Sushimi boat, the two friends I was with were blown away by the choices. Bonus for me was the availability of non alcoholic beer, Will definitely be going frequently

This is the best restaurant in Tewkesbury which has too many poor curry houses. It’s very authentic and we have been there many times. Drinks are a bit limited especially the wine list which they could improve.

Visited with friends who are all familiar with Japanese food and other cuisines, the overall experiense was noy particularly enjoyable. They are craming tables to increase covers at the expence of the dining experience for customers, service was OK but once again did nothing to make the evening enjoyable. The menu is at first extensive to read but is just dishes offered with the various options so choice is not as wide as seems . The food ordered was ok but no great portions are extremely small for the prices charged. we left somwhat hungry and feeling ripped off both food and drinks wise. Overall we cannot recommend to others to visit.

Absolutely loved this. Sushi was really great, fab selection, great boats. Really tasty food. Staff are super friendly too and helpful if you aren't too used to ordering Sushi. We will definitely be coming back for sure.

we had a great evening here. Food was good, fresh and tasty and beautifully presented. The service was excellent.

I've only eaten Japanese food in England so I don't know if it's authentic, but it's certainly different and absolutely delicious. We loved the Tewkesbury Roll.

Once was enough. Seriously. I’ve been eating Japanese food for the last 30years, in the UK and Japan. I think I’m pretty much an expert at eating Japanese food. I’ve eaten at Michelin starred Japanese restaurants around the world too, so I’ve built up a lot of points trying pretty much everything. Izakaya Ume is one of the poorest attempts at Japanese food I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. My wife had the ramen, which was diabolical and not even remotely authentically ramen. If you’re served ramen here and think it’s acceptable, you’ve never had proper ramen before. The wrong noodles, the wrong broth…everything wrong. Don’t get me started on the sushi / sashimi. Not fresh, not good, not enough and an absolute rip off. The picture attached is the best such sampler that they do. £35. Look at a) how crap it looks and (more importantly) b) how little you get for £35!!! It’s an absolute disgrace. If you genuinely think this is a good representation of what a Japanese Restaurant should be, I’d argue you’ve never actually been to an authentic Japanese restaurant before!!!

How Delicious food and lovely staffs, it is my favorite restaurant in Tewksbury .We will come back here very soon.

Can’t recommend enough - we are familiar with Japanese food and thoroughly enjoyed all the food we ordered and the staff were also excellent. We shared a couple of sushi rolls, a couple of hand rolls, and some appetisers - the takoyaki and soft shell crab. All really tasty and carefully prepared and presented. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

Absolutely beautiful food, wonderfully presented and so tasty. We ordered lots of plates of sushi and appetizers and shared them. If you ordered one or two plate each of sushi I think you would be disappointed, but that's not how it works. Everything was excellent. We also tried three of the sakes on the advice of the staff, which were also good. One of the more conservative eaters had katsu curry which was also delicious and much better than Wagamama! Portion size for this stand alone type dish was very reasonable and kept a ravenous boy happy. This isn't a cheap place to eat, but it is really very good quality and well worth a journey to visit.

What an amazing restaurant! Amazing authentic food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. It was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday evening. Already planning what we’ll have when we go next. Particularly noteworthy was the soft shell crab and the red dragon rolls.

Just eaten there, really disappointed. I’m not familiar with Japanese food, but will definitely not go there again. Cold food and really small portions at a really high prices. Seriously just don’t bother. The two main photos are what my husband and I had as main courses, the deserts are what our friends had.
