Food tastes spicy, delicious and served hot only on weekends.

Tried on a weekday, doesn’t taste good at all; no spice and not served hot!

Diner Review №2

Always an excellent meal here

Diner Review №4

Excellent food and service!

Diner Review №5

Fresh, tasty food. Red curry was super tasty. Dragon roll was surprisingly delicious.

Diner Review №6

Nice food options. The food we got was decent, but not exceptional at all. The music was a bot loud. The light a bit bright. We were served fairly quickly, but also beat the crowd. Decent, but not sure I'd go back.

Always my go to Thai restaurant.
I discovered today that they have a new menu.
The Basil Duck is out of this world.

Diner Review №12

Everything was super yummy & service was fine (eventhough they had 3 employees unexpectedly off today). Can't wait to go back & try more!

Diner Review №13

The reviews are so misleading and thought I would give it a try but was so disappointed . The food did not seem to be prepared fresh as all the veggies were soggy. I ordered chicken lo-mein and it had NO taste, no seasoning or sauce on it. The fried rice was oily and the spicy eggplant wasn’t spices and the veggies seemed old. I really miss the old Thai restaurant that was consistent and cooked your food fresh. The only thing I enjoyed was the spring rolls. DUSSIT THAI had been the BEST thai place! Also, I’m a huge energy person and the hostess/waitress seemed inconvenienced by me entering to place a to-go order-poor customer service. I do NOT recommend.

Diner Review №18

Hands down one of the best restaurants in the Nashville area! Cocktails were great, but the food was out of this world! I got the Sesame Chicken and let me tell you, it was phenomenal. We cannot wait to go back. The atmosphere was wonderful and service was exceptional! So glad to have found a new spot for date night!

Diner Review №19

Good food!

Diner Review №20

Delicious food, good prices, great and friendly staff, 10/10 I recommend it to all of my friends and will continue to do so. I've been going there for years and will never stop.

Diner Review №21

WORST service ever they pick & choose who they want to take care of , as a server there attitude & lack of good service towards me & my fiancé makes me never want to come here again. As a diabetic as well i sat without anything to drink for about 25 minutes & they dropped off our food about 40 minutes later then never checked on us. They’re VERY RUDE WILL NOT BE BACK !! & ALSO WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED THEY WOULDNT LET ME USE THE RESTROOM “CUSTOMER ONLY” WHEN I WAS LITERALLY DINING IN WITH MY FIANCÉ , I AM DIABETIC & THAT IS INHUMANE!! DO NOT EAT HERE

Diner Review №22

This place is one of my go-to's in Nashville! The food is always good, the vibe is chill, the wall are is awesome and the workers are very nice.

I always bring friends/family here when they visit.

Try out the curry! It's great 👍

Diner Review №23

Under cooked food and service is pretty bad.

Diner Review №24

Best Thai food in Nashville! Also love the sushi bar.

Diner Review №25

We have eaten here twice now and plan to become regulars. We’ve tried and loved the red curry, sushi, pad Thai, Tiger Beef salad, rice paper rolls w peanut sauce and for a b’day celebration, they brought out their hot home-made doughnuts w condensed milk — crazy good. Highly recommend you visit and support this casual, yet warm and inviting establishment. I want to try everything!

Diner Review №26

The pad Thai here is fantastic. We have also ordered the fried rice, sushi, and curry and have loved every dish they make. One of the best Thai restaurants we have tried in Nashville.

This place is very good! We have been several times and have never had a bad experience.

Diner Review №35

My roommate and i went here for some boba and food and we loved it! Murals on the walls were very cool and fun. I got the Lo Mein with chicken and was not disappointed. Wanted to leave a review so that other people know how great this place is.

Diner Review №36

This food is amazing, honestly the best Thai food I have found so far in Nashville. The atmosphere is very nice and cute but I wish they would do low lighting for a dinner setting. Because look at my takeout: gorgeously presented… they are amazing!

Diner Review №37

I love this restaurant! The food is very fresh! The spring rolls in rice paper with shrimp and peanut sauce are some of the best I have had! The coconut soup is also noteworthy. Shocker: they make great cocktails! Perfectly paired with the food!

Diner Review №38

The service and food are amazing!!! Authentic Thai and Asian cuisine! Sushi chef is flexible and allows for custom orders! Blue and Narissa are wonderful and attentive servers! They know their clients by name and favorites! Full service bar for those who like alcoholic beverages. The food is absolutely delicious and it is the best Thai food I have found in this area!!!

Diner Review №39

I liked the sushi, soup, and salad. The food was fresh. The sushi held together very well, some places it fell apart too easy and made a big mess.

Diner Review №40

Love this place especially since their new management took over.
Reasonably priced, lots of options, everything I’ve had has been really good! Nice to have this level of Asian quality food in this area!

Diner Review №44

This place has the best food! The panang is superb. A real treat!

Diner Review №45

My wife and myself had been frequent diners at this establishment, however last night we decided to go and have dinner there and was expecting excellence in food and service as we have always had, however our experience last night was subpar at best. We ordered orange chicken that tasted as of it had been cooked with other meats and had a taste of burnt steak with considerably smaller portion than our previous visit and I was told it's because the rice paper is larger giving the appearance of a smaller portion by a male that worked there not to mention the female waitress that acted as if we were a problem to serve. The 2 orders of crab Rangoons tasted as if they had been refried several times and we were give a new order by the same male worker to correct this issue. In the end we paid $60 for this. Not worth the money don't go here as a first choice. We are very dissapointed as the level of service and quality of food was far below what we have experienced multiple times before. Not sure what's going on here but for the owner of this business you need to get your act together if you plan on serving in this hard economic time with this business

Diner Review №46

Food is absolutely amazing and cooked to order so it takes a little longer but is definitely worth the wait! Showroom friendly staff as well. We will definitely be back soon!

Diner Review №47

Love this place!

Diner Review №48

Randomly popped in for a late lunch and we were not disappointed. We ordered satay chicken, miso soup, ginger salad, the several rolls (dragon roll, spider roll, and x-men roll). It was all delicious. We will definitely be back!

Service was also great and the atmosphere was nice.

Diner Review №49

I ordered the chicken green curry it has so much flavor I will definitely be back simply delicious😋

Diner Review №50

We were visiting The Hermitage and felt like Asian food for lunch afterwards. This place is EXCELLENT! The food is fresh, well-executed, and nicely presented. The menu is diverse and you can see and taste the attention to detail and high quality ingredients.

Diner Review №51

Omg first time here and I am in love with the food!! Service is amazing 🥰🫶🏼 this will be my go to place. They have amazing staff!

Diner Review №52

Very good experience very kind very good people

Diner Review №53

I have been here three times so far and they never disappoint! If you are looking for a yummy sushi spot with reasonable prices I would recommend. Also, the bathrooms are super clean.

Diner Review №54

I go with my grandma almost every week. The food is amazing and Rocky, the owner, is the sweetest man!
10/10 recommend Umami Thai!

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Great find in Hermitage!!

Diner Review №57

For such sushi, this is a high price. Kroger-level sushi. The price is high, and the sushi is not tasty!

Diner Review №58

Pleasant atmosphere. Wonderful.
Service. The food here is amazing. Excellent customer service.

Excellent Sushi & Sashimi

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

Went with my daughter, nice servers and their Boba teas are yummy 😋

Diner Review №62

Food is great, excellent service

Diner Review №63

Umami Thai is a wonderful restaurant! They were great when they were Dusit Thai, and they've made major improvements to the atmosphere since changing their name. However, the food has remained the freshest and best Thai food in town. I've enjoyed this place over the years, and I highly recommend trying it!

Diner Review №64

This was amazing! We are so excited to have an amazing Thai restaurant so close to home 😎

Diner Review №65

Everything was fresh and hot! I loved everything I ordered and you do not feel overly full and sluggish afterwards. I will definitely be back to try more dishes because it was awesome!!!!

Diner Review №66

Fabulous food! Service is great. My new favorite Thai restaurant in the area. Even better than some I’ve been to in downtown Nashville. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №67

Horrible

Diner Review №68

Best Thai food in Middle Tennessee and best Panang Curry I have EVER had! So much flavor. I wasn’t able to get our waiters name unfortunately, but he was incredible and his recommendations were spot on. Our 1.5 year old daughter was getting a little antsy and he brought her food out so quickly without us even having to ask! My husband loved his Katsu ramen and our daughter loved her chicken fried rice. The ambience was great, too! We can’t wait to come back!

Diner Review №69

This place is amazing!! My husband and I have already been twice in the past 2 weeks. Amazing service, nice atmosphere and delicious food!! We were so impressed and will definitely be regular customers!

Diner Review №70

One of my go to places for dinner. Great food and a very nice staff. The atmosphere is nice, and it's a perfect option for quick takeout. I'm not sure why some people mention the portion size. Perhaps it depends on the dish, but I always get Pad Thai and easily get two meals out of it.

Diner Review №71

Flavor was amazing! I had chicken curry stir-fry and two Unagi rolls. 26.00 While taste was amazing, there was minimal chicken in dish. Like other reviews I agree the portions were on the small side. I left still very much hungry. If they increased portions and quantity of each ingredient, not just add more rice, I think it would have been 10/10. As it sits now, the price point combined with small portions give it 3 stars for me and a low chance of return sadly.

Diner Review №72

First time going to Umami Thai. The food was great! The service was great. They were helpful with helping me order. This place is such a vibe. If I’m taking the time to actually do a review, then you know it was an awesome experience.

Diner Review №73

Great Thai and sushi! Very friendly staff.

Diner Review №74

My daughter and I each ordered the the Ramen. Somewhat tasty. However, the portions are really inadequate for $17 each. We both left still hungry.

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

Authentic! Loved the food, Umami!!!

Diner Review №77

Dude… cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen. Food was incredible. 100% Recommend.

Diner Review №78

We had crab rangoons, spring rolls, calamari, and the heart attack roll which is jalapenos but not real real hot. Just flavorful. Then we had the Hotel California roll. Had food to bring home as well as ordered a large Tom Kha soup to go. The food is delicious!

Diner Review №79

I can't say enough good things about this place. The place is super clean and nice in the inside. You can tell when a place takes pride in what they do because of the amount of effort that's given but you wanna know about the food though right? I had the steak fried rice, chicken fried rice and the cowboy roll. The ingredients were high quality. I takes me back back to a place I use to eat at in my childhood and it's 🔥🔥🔥 10/10

Diner Review №80

I love this place. I currently live in Antioch, but my job is in Hermitage. I've ordered lunch from Umami, twice so far, and was satisfied each time. The staff is friendly and professional. &the food is delicious. I would definitely reccommend!

Diner Review №81

Amazing Service, Amazing People and Amazing Food!!

Diner Review №82

My fiancé and I have tried several places that serve sushi in the area and this is one of our top spots now. All the food we have tried so far has been delicious and the service is great!

Diner Review №83

Amazing experience! Staff is super friendly and food was great! Definitely will be back.

Diner Review №84

Place looked clean, server was nice and consistent but the food was gross. The pat Thai smelled literally like dog food. The sushi made my wife throw up right after. But that’s not the worst part. I of course refused to pay for my meal do to it smelling like dog food and not eating anything on my plate. The owner followed me in to Kroger to confront me on why I thought the food was bad. I explained to him my opinion and he got mad. When I was finished in Kroger he was outside and started starring at me while I loaded my truck with groceries. I felt very harassed. I don’t recommend this restaurant do to him harassing me while I was shopping.

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

10/10 delicious Thai food. Fast and friendly service. Will definitely be back!

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №88

This place is not only under a new name and new management, but everything is upgraded… From the food, to the atmosphere, to the service! I highly recommend Umami Thai!

Diner Review №89

Umami Thai is a culinary oasis! I recently dined there and was blown away by the exquisite flavors of their Pad Thai - perfectly balanced sweet, sour, and savory notes danced on my palate with each bite. The Green Curry was a fragrant masterpiece, brimming with tender chicken and vibrant Thai herbs. And let's not forget their Tom Yum Soup, a comforting bowl of spicy and tangy goodness. With each dish expertly crafted and bursting with authentic Thai flavors, Umami Thai has become my go-to spot for a taste of Thailand in Tennessee. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №90

Highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back. The restaurant is designed nicely and the food is incredible!!

Diner Review №91

I come here very often and it's one of the best places to have Thai food and sushi , the servers are very nice and ask for sirirat she is very sweet and will help with whatever you need.

Diner Review №92

The place was nice and clean, the staff was nice and friendly, will be going back for sure the food was that good.

Diner Review №93

When it comes to Thai, I would consider myself well diversed. I've ordered 2xs from this resturant, both to-go orders. Curry each time, I was pleased (except I asked swap out one veggie for another - and each time is was not done). 2nd time ordered was to-go order as well and was high monetary amount. I ordered a lot so I could have left overs the next day and a diveresity of entrees to feed 3. Fried Calamari was a disappointment. Very mininum amount given and the rings were no bigger than a quarter - I won't buy again. When you think Orange Chicken, you'd think you get about the same quanity as any other establishment. This was not the case. Chunks of chicken was minuinum, small nuggets and barely teasers on a plate - I will not buy again. Thai Ice Tea - water down colored water with a huge splash of cream. I also put in a request for light ice - it was filled to the top. Maybe took 5 sips and it was gone - I will not buy again. Above is not all I ordered, but out of the 5 items I did, so far I will only recommend their Curry.

Diner Review №94

We absolutely loved UMAMI Thai!!! Excellent flavor...great atmosphere and service!! Will definitely return soon!!! YUMMY THAI FOOD!!

Excellent food. Love the Pad Thai here. The service is outstanding and the newly updated dining room is beautifully done

Diner Review №100

I highly recommend Umami Thai! The atmosphere is casual and welcoming; staff and ownership are very friendly. Great service and great food. I was surprised and pleased with the presentation of the food. They play good music and have a selfie-worthy flower wall. They take a lot of care to make sure it’s a 10/10 experience.

Diner Review №101

Food was amazing, staff was amazing. I don’t mean to sound like I’m puffing this place up but I genuinely think I found my new favorite restaurant! 😂

Diner Review №102

This place has blown me away! The food is so fresh, and the service is incredible. 10/10 recommend the noodles with peanut sauce + the massaman curry!!

Diner Review №103

I never really write reviews, but this place deserves 5 stars.

I've gone a couple times and everything has been delicious so far, especially their curry.
A lot of diverse Asian food options, great service, and chill vibes.

More people need to know about this restaurant.

Diner Review №106

Great place! We had an excellent experience all around. We will be back very soon. Thanks for your amazing service!

Diner Review №107

Awesome green curry. Not too sweet and they don’t skimp on veggies!

Diner Review №108

This has got to be one of the best if not the best kept secret of Hermitage. I honestly hope that changes soon. The food here is immaculate from the fresh ingredients to the prepared per order style cooking. The sushi pieces are huge and perfect. The ramen and curry are exceptional as well. Whatever you get, make sure you start with Crab Rangoon, best I've ever had.

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

My go-to for all things delicious!
Don't be afraid of your unknown. The staff at Umami Thai will walk you through your taste palate and find a flavorful meal for you. Select your spice level to meet your needs from a very diverse menu. Admittedly, I choose mild and that's perfect for me. The new sushi bar is upscale and has a nice selection of options. Bar available.

Diner Review №111

The owners have redone the interior, and it's bright and clean with beautiful murals on the walls. The menu is extensive, and everything we tried was fresh, delicious, and extremely flavorful. Service was excellent. We will be regulars now for sure!

Diner Review №112

Remodeled and renamed but still delicious Thai food.

Diner Review №113

Best Thai I’ve had in a long time!! Googled Thai when I was out running errands and this placed popped up. Decided to give it a try and I’m glad we did! Service was quick and very friendly. We got pad Thai chicken, Philadelphia roll and a Thai tea to split between my daughter and I. They were all great. Best pad Thai I’ve had in our area! The staff was so sweet with my daughter and brought her our special chop sticks and made the experience fun! Decor is updated and everything looks clean!

Diner Review №114

Great fusion restaurant with a lot of choices. It was perfect for our large family group. There were choices for various food needs. Everyone left satisfied: Vegetarian, gluten free, and even us omnivores.

Diner Review №115

The food is always delicious, the staff is great and remembers you. I love this place!!! They have changed the way the whole restaurant looks. Amazing!!!

Diner Review №116

My wife and I ate here tonight and it was amazing. We had the Shoyu and the Tonkatsu ramen and it was some of the best we have ever had. We will be returning to try more of the menu.

Diner Review №117

We stopped in today for an early dinner. The food was great and the service was stellar. I had the red curry bento box which came with a bowl of curry, rice, a spring roll, a dumpling and a small California roll. It was a generous amount of food and I like that it had a little taste of everything. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №121

Awesome pad Thai and Penang!

Diner Review №122

The staff was amazing and answered any questions I had about the food on the menu. the food was excellent and made with care. There’s also a mural being drawn on the walls and it’s looking pretty good so far. I definitely recommend this place.

Diner Review №123

This place is amazing! I am a Thai food fan, but never have I had thai food this FLAVORFUL! Highly recommend this restaurant for not only the food (taste and portions), but the atmosphere too. Check out the pics of the hand paintings on the walls as well as the beautifully decorated sushi and curry dishes!!!!

I ordered basil fried rice with my adjustments and forgot to mention “no eggs”. Well I realized when I got the container and asked the waiter, Rocky, that I forgot to mention this piece but I don’t eat eggs. Before I could continue he took the container and tells me they can make another one for me!!! He really didn’t have to do this, but I appreciate him and the gesture so much! Fantastic service, amazing food, beautiful ambiance and great company. What more could you ask for!?

Do not sleep on this place!!! I came here two nights in a row!

Diner Review №124
