    Very authentic japanese dining. I came here with my fiancé for our anniversary. We came in later in the night expecting to be treated fair or rushed out, but they were so professional and patient with us. They showed us that our anniversary mattered to them as it did for us. Which is very rare especially as i’ve had terrible experiences going out to eat. I work in a Japanese restaurant myself, so I can especially appreciate the effort they put into it. We were gifted lovely otoshi at the beginning of our meal from the chef. The drinks were very light and delicious, they’ve clearly put a great deal of effort into them. We loved the gyoza, the hamachi tostadas, and our sushi rolls. Very high quality fish… We got a beautiful display of fire for one of our rolls which was a very nice touch. With the dessert, they were so kind to bring us some cheesecake with our black sesame ice cream. Even when they’ve been plenty generous and hospitable. When we got our bill, we were gifted sake & cream shots to end our meal with. I highly encourage for anyone to come if they want not only excellent quality, service, and atmosphere. But, an excellent experience with Japanese food and hospitality.

    Hibachi was amazing; love the dinner and a “show” experience. Service was spot on, food was scrumptious, and the location was easy to find.

    Dining at UMAI in Puerto Vallarta was truly one of the most unforgettable Asian culinary experiences we’ve had anywhere. From the moment we arrived, every detail of the evening was exceptional. Fidel prepared our Teppanyaki dinner and it was absolutely outstanding. The flavors, creativity, and combinations of food were impeccable — easily among the best Teppanyaki experiences we have ever had worldwide. His skill, presentation, and attention to detail made the meal not just dinner, but a true performance and culinary masterpiece. Our server, Alejandra, elevated the evening even further with her warmth and impeccable hospitality. She began the experience with a complimentary tuna appetizer that was fresh and delicious, and ended the night with a beautiful dessert thanking us for our patronage. To top everything off, she surprised us with two incredible after-dinner cocktails presented in a smoke box with a lovely aroma that created the perfect finishing touch. Every aspect of the evening felt thoughtful, elegant, and memorable. UMAI exceeded every expectation, and we cannot wait to return the next time we are in Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommended!.
