Been coming to Umai Mi for years and it’s been my favourite restaurant. I came yesterday for a birthday meal, and they’ve recently changed the menu. No Donburi, no Teriyaki, replaced with bland food. Even the staple dishes was different. The place just felt sad, and honestly I’m gutted because the food has always been incredible but it has all changed. The cocktails weren’t great either. Very sad but won’t be coming back now. It’s not the same. Just feels generic.

Ordered tonkotsu ramen, firstly the ramen tastes like egg noodles way too expensive for what it is. The ingredient quality doesn't seem to be the best. It used to be better, service was fine atleast.

My granddaughter loves sushi. So, about 3wks ago, we visited Umai Mi. When the meals arrived we were blown away with the presentation and portion sizes. It was delicious. The young lady who served us was awesome, very attentive, helpful friendly and polite. I was immensely impressed. So much so that while in Newcastle with another granddaughter yesterday, exploring the city, where to eat was a no brainer for me. From the moment we entered we were looked after, checked on and served by an amazing young man. Customer service at its best. And yet again the dishes were outstanding Thanks to everyone for making a great day a glorious memory.

The service was fast, except when paying. The sake was good, but the ramen noodle soups were not: the noodles were clearly pre-cooked, the broth was bland, the gyozas were mediocre, and the meat was nothing like last Thursday. Plus, there would be kids screaming in the background. I neither recommend it nor will I return.

Very rude, uninterested staff that had to keep coming back to tell us they were out of what we had just ordered rather than telling us upfront so we didn't get disappointed, then brought one dish without part of what was included and when I tried to confirm if it included it they said yeah it's in there - it was definitely not so I had to ask again for it on the side. I hate complaining usually so this was awkward, and the dish ended up being slimy and not very nice.

The sushi was great, but The service is simply terrible and very low level. They served me sour beer, but they could have offered me an alternative. The waiters did not come, even when I invited them to re-order dishes. They said that they were “busy” and, accordingly, no one came later. Due to the low level of service, the establishment is losing profit. The waiters are not friendly with guests, although this is their direct responsibility. I recommend ordering food for delivery or takeout only. The atmosphere in the establishment is not comfortable.

While I can’t comment on the food, though, it did look nice. I waited 15 minutes for service after being seated today, to walk out. The staff were busy, yet I was never served. Tables that came in after me were served. Having worked in hospitality for over ten years, I can be sympathetic. But for 3 different staff members to continuously walk past me just to be left unattended is poor service.

I try my best not to leave a negative review where I can. You can find previous good reviews for this place from me. However, sometimes you just have to. Paid £4 for an apple juice which was severely watered down then it was denied Paid £4 for a mango juice, exactly the same. Menu has changed and it hasn't been updated on the physical menu for some dishes. Random chili's chucked in all over. All of the noodle dishes have been changed to the hugely cheaper egg noodles. Were not nice at all. Got my sons meal wrong so whilst all mine and my daughters food came out he had to wait for ages to get his meal. Then it was awful when it came out. We are regulars here. Or we were until the menu changed. Wait staff are lovely, absolutely no reflection on them at all.

Been here twice, been massively let down twice for the same reasons. Came here today with family and a friend for lunch, 1230 booking with the aim to leave at 1.45 latest. Our order was taken in an acceptable time, however one main dish order never arrived despite being told it was on its way. We shared the tables food with the person missing their lunch so they didn't go hungry while waiting. We are all quite fast eaters so were done in about 20 mins. Ended up asking for the bill before the missing dish ever appeared. Told the staff to remove it from the bill as it never arrived, no apology at all and they didn't even seem surprised. Shockingly rude, unbothered and unaware staff 🙈🙈 Won't be back, which is a shame as the food is actually quite good.

Atmosphere is difficult because we've been used to Nudo for years so sitting in Eldon Square is never going to be the same! Having said that, restaurant itself was lovely, bright and clean and the staff were all great. S&P tofu and scallion pancake was as good as it ever was in Nudo, as was the vegan chicken. It would also be nice to have the option to sub VG chicken and or tofu on the kids menu. Mine are used to ordering from the main menu and sharing but sometimes it's nice for them to order their own dish too 😊 Still have the option to order big and take your leftovers home which is a big win for us!

Our family of four, including two kids have been to Umai Mi twice in the last three months for lunch on Saturday. It has been excellent on both occasions. There is a wide-ranging menu which keeps everyone in our household happy (not easy). The service has always been top notch as is the pace at which food comes out of the kitchen. The salt fish and chips as well as the sushi range are particular favourites. Umai Mi is our go to restaurant in Newcastle for the whole family. It has taken quite a long time to find one, having had poor experiences in other places.

Having visited Umai Mi multiple times over the years, it has always been a safe go to however, tonight was a different story. I’d like to start by pointing out I didn’t even get to ordering food. We went in and were greeted by the waitress who seemed pleasant enough. I asked if we could sit inside the restaurant to which I was told no as it was cleaned ready for the close (it didn’t close for 2 hours). We were then asked to sit in the section which is in the mall, which is ok but I’d rather not if had the choice. I mentioned to my partner that I didn’t enjoy sitting there to which she interjected (without being asked) “we’ll obviously it’s a mall so you’re going to be sitting in a mall, all the restaurants are like that and what did I expect, if I’m going to a mall I’d be eating in a mall”. I politely told her I was aware of that and not to join in on a conversation she was not invited to, to which she made a loud sigh and stomped off, I went to go to the toilet and her here talking about me to her colleagues, a completely exaggerated story. At this point I got up and left Moral of the story is don’t go there anymore, the service is worse.

We used to visit this place regularly when it first opened. This evening, we wanted to grab something before the Theatre, and were surprised to see this restaurant very quiet so dropped in. Ordered food and my oh my this place has gone so far downhill it's unbelievable. First plate arrived garlic ribs, which appeared to be deep fried!, no side plates provided. Tasteless, full of gristle and closest they had been to garlic is when they had been wheeled down the veg aisle in the shopping trolley. The next plate arrived char sui bao buns, again no side plates offered. God only knows what the red watery juice was that soaked the buns and ran out all over the table when taking a bite. Grim is too good a word to use here!!!!! Final dish the california rolls, still no side plates offered but we did get soy sauce. The sushi had a bizarre chewy texture and very little taste. When paying the bill the waitress asked if food was OK, after seeing the uneaten food left on the table.i was very diplomatic in my response and she told me she would let the chefs know! All in all a horrible food experience, save your money or go elsewhere.

Visited a few years ago and it’s really gone downhill since then. The food generally was average at best and really bland. What we received had little resemblance to what was promised on the menu with key ingredients missing. The Gyozas were especially disappointing, slimy and tasteless with an overpowering vinegar dipping sauce.

Average food, efforts had to be made to get service throughout meal, we ate food while waiters mopped floors with bleach cleaner so felt like we were sat in McDonald’s. Were placed right outside so basically sat in a shopping mall avenue as opposed to what looked to be a quiet and nice atmospheric restaurant vibe inside. Starters and mains came almost at the same time which always gives you the impression they want you in and out, which must have been the case considering they were stacking chairs and mopping floors even though it was at least 45 minutes before closing time. Two stars I feel is a generous reflection as we would have been well with our right to up and leave amidst the stench of bleach.

I've been here a couple of times now for lunch, The food is beautiful with plenty of choice, beautifully presented it's not the cheapest place to eat but it's well worth the price, you can dine in and also take it away as everything is packed into a sturdy container. It's extremely busy at lunch time but half an hour either side there is plenty of places to sit indoor or out. Highly recommend a visit.

Originally I had in mind to go to good old Wagamamas, then I came across this place, UMAI Mi, with its vibrant Japanese theme and menu I decided 'why not?' The service was quick, friendly and the waiter was very informative. There were many, many choices on the menu that I haven't seen before, great if you're looking for something new or that bit different! The food itself, I went for the soup consisting of a rich (beef shin ramen) and creamy pork bone broth/soup stock, beef, vegetables topped with an egg. It was rich and full of flavour. Great value for money, too! Highly recommend!

Been here several times before and it’s always been great. However yesterday we visited and the service was absolutely appalling. After ordering our drinks, we sat waiting for around half an hour with the menus in front of us and not one member of staff came over. Eventually, a member from our party had to go and find a staff member and ask if we could order our food. We didn’t receive an apology from any staff for our wait, and we were not impressed at all. When we had finished eating, we then had to ask for the bill and waited another 15 mins to be able to pay. It’s very disappointing as normally the service is great, but yesterday the staff were really poor.

As an Asian fusion restaurant located in the mall, it is average. The sushi is nothing special, the salmon is not that fresh, but overall they taste OK. We also ordered the crispy duck pancakes, it’s not that bad, although the ducks are too dry and too chunky, and cucumbers a bit too soft, and the pancakes are obviously was bought from supermarket, not steamed or warmed or anything like that(basically the pancakes a bit cold when they served the pancakes). Jasmine pearl tea was quite good, even taste better than I thought. Anyway, this place is place is as same as I expected. The environment is quite nice though, but food quality could be better.

The Italian fella was our fav as he was very friendly and the (Polish?) hostess who seated us.. and Joanne who took the bill and asked us to leave this review (I said it was going to be funny but I may have let her down). The food was good, esp my sushi but didnt come with ginger (which is just weird)... and the dumplings were great tasting but could have done with one or two extra pings (add garnish guys?!)....

The restaurant looks nice and fancy. The staff is not bad too and food arrived fast. I totally don't understand why they dont give the chopsticks in the Asian restaurant. And for ramen and sushi I had only fork. Em..how they are expecting me to eat futomaki with the fork it's a huge question for me. The same works for ramen, it's just not made for fork come on. Ramen it's another tragedy. As a big lover of ramen I was eating it everywhere all over the Europe and this was just the worst ever. It was bland as hell it's like someone just put a bit of spices in the water. Not any creamy and thick structure of tonkotsu.its just was nothing. Bamboo tasted like it was just boiled without solt and was very weird. The noodles were suuuper overcooked. It looked like overcooked spaghetti which is falling apart when u r trying to catch smth because they are so soft. Futomaki were nice,can't complain about the taste. Well I don't recommend to take the ramen here if u have ever tried a normal and reach one . So I would not visit it again.

It was the first time we have eaten at this restaurant and I think it will be the last. I don't have much complaint about the food itself. My daughter enjoyed her sushi but I have never encountered such rude service. I hasten to add this was just one staff member and not everyone who was working there. We were stunned and could not believe we had been spoken too in such a rude and condescending manner. We had never visited before and didn't know anything about the dishes on the menu. This particular woman was downright nasty. She spoilt the whole experience which is a shame. We were made to feel stupid. Not the type of individual you want working in your restaurant.

We wanted to sit inside like we always do. She said we cant and turned us away. There was only 6 people in restaurant, if you can turn people away business must be good. Me and my family wont return. So disappointed 😞

Won’t recommend the char sui ramen! Taste and smell was very strong. They literally just boiled the pork and served it. The char sui had no taste and tasted very bland.

The food is really good, we love the chicken and King Prawn fried rice. Portion sizes are good. We struggle to eat a side/starter and mains. Service is good, staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant is in Eldon Sq, so the outlook isn't the best. But it is a great place to eat after shopping or before a theatre visit and we never had a need to book.

Overpriced for what it is, but the service is good and the food, except for the fish bites, is tasty. The sushi options are also better than that of yo sushi.

The food is really nice but the prices are absolutely ridiculous now! Almost £10 for a small eats dish? Nearly £15 for the sizzler dish which is basically rice and meat, although very delicious! I understand the overheads in Eldon Square must be astronomical. I think they need to move elsewhere before they price themselves out.

We ordered the black pepper beef udon noodles and shredded duck udon noodles. Both were bland and oily with little to no flavour. The black pepper beef strips were overcooked and full of gristle making them inedible. Overall for £40 was a big let down.

Always visit here for a meal whenever in Newcastle. Lots of choice on the menu and special offers on certain days (such as wing Wednesday!). Really good value for money and the portions are massive so always leave with leftovers!

The service from Joanne and her colleagues was superb. My 8-year old son really enjoyed the chicken noodles and I loved the chicken in black bean sauce. It was a lovely meal, we will definitely be back.

Loved it, been twice and had the king prawn and chicken fried rice and then a pulled beef hot plate. Both were amazing. Probably on the high side price wise but overall worth a visit

A wonderful birthday meal we were recommended to by Nudo who weren't serving til later. I'm so pleased we went here. The cocktails were dangerously good, and the food was an umami blast, especially adding some chilli oil to the broth. We chose udon noodles and I had a miso broth with pork Belly, while my partner had bone broth with beef shin. Both were excellent 👌 will definitely be back, and Uri, the waiter was friendly and fab

One of my favourite bubble tea places in the uk!! They never fail to disappoint. The tapioca pearls are cooked to perfection and taste nice. The boba itself is tasty with the perfect level of ice and sweetness(I’ve only tried the milk teas/coffee). I always look forward to get boba from here everytime I go to Eldon Square. The price isn’t expensive either. I must admit that the wait times are long but are worth it for the drinks!

Had the best Chinese meal for years here yesterday. We went before a show and had the Great Wall Banquet and it was gorgeous! The prawns were cooked beautifully and the fillet beef melted in your mouth. The staff were attentive but not overbearing and didn't rush us, we could just take our time and have a nice leisurely meal in lovely surroundings. Will definitely go back.

We had a great night here. The food was really good. The decor was very authentic. The only downside was that each course came out a little too quickly. I would definitely recommend it.
