Beautiful atmosphere and very good service from the wait staff\nThe food tho, to us was lacking is execution and dish balancing. For the high price point it needs to be improved.\nScallops and cucumber with dashi broth a very simple dish but excellent\nThe Abalone dish with mushroom cap unfortunately a miss. The abalone was not tender and the\nmushroom crust was off putting and buries the delicate flavor of the abalone. Abalone needs to be soft and the delicate nature of it needs to be enhanced.\nLobster is perfectly done tender and the strong flavors of the forbidden rice/risotto and sauce is very good a bit over salted but again the sauce tends to overpower the lobster and not compliment it.\nThe ribeye and tenderloin were both very good. Well prepared not to large of a cut perfectly prepared. The rice side dish was too wet and the breadfruit not appetizing. Fluffy rice or baked potatoes would be better side\nThe seafood curry was well prepared well balanced. Overall it was a decent meal which could stand with some better balancing of flavors and better execution but certainly at this point we felt it was overpriced for what was being served.","submittedDateTime":"2024-01-28T18:31:22Z","rating":{"overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"AJSH","isVip":null,"profileColor":"MUSTARD","initials":"AJ","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":84,"endIndex":87,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"},{"reviewId":"OT-1280161-8422-120111170702","text":"Simply a sublime experience.

The hard part was finding the place, as what we saw did not list a street address nor mention that it is in the Halepuna hotel. But we are so happy we struggled thru poor Google Maps walking directions and asking multiple locals — and arrived in time.\nWe had a lobster ala carte entree, a salmon ala carte entree and a mashed potato/breadfruit side dish — Ulu Mash— that had us swooning with praise. Unique and delicious!\nDessert, called Umi, was another unique surprise.\nWe appreciated that the beautifully presented portions were on the small side so we did not have to choose between overeating or “take-home” boxes for once.\nOur server, Nathan, was friendly and attentive and we could tell all that all the staff— the hostess, sommelier and chef— all took a personal interest in making diners feel welcomed and appreciated.

We had breakfast at UMI by Vikram Garg twice during our trip to Honolulu and loved everything about it. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Mai Tai pancakes were a unique and delicious treat, and the Shakshuka was excellent—perfectly spiced and hearty. What made the experience even more special was the warm hospitality. The owner’s wife and daughter served us both times, and they were genuinely kind and welcoming. We’re already looking forward to returning and trying their dinner next time!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome that set the tone for the entire evening. The service was absolutely amazing—attentive without being overbearing, and every detail was handled with care. We opted for the prix fixe menus, and every course was out of this world. Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor.
The sommelier was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and perfectly matched our wine that elevated our entire meal. Honestly, if I could give this place 10 stars, I would. It was that good. We’re even considering going back before we leave because it was such a standout experience.
Highly, highly recommend!

The dinner was on the level of Michelin rated restaurants I have been to. The quality of Ingredients, the balance of flavor and the creative boldness was outstanding and very refreshing.
The mixture of French, Japanese and Indian cuisine are very harmoniously executed with never seen before dishes.
I was equally impressed with the level of service and their attentiveness and professional friendly service.
I think the dinner service was an absolute bargain for the quality of food being served.
This is one of the culinary gems in Honolulu and extremely underrated restaurants I have been to in this area as you normally only see this level of restaurants in New York, Los Angeles or Napa Valley.
Hats off the chef and his talented team.

What an unexpected surprise we found at UMI. Fresh off the plane in Honolulu checked for reservations found this as a option and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed at all. I would highly recommend this to anybody who’s looking for a light and very tasting menu. That gives you the option of an à la cart as well. We would highly recommend and look forward to going again.
