We recently moved to the area and were very pleased to have found Umami Way almost immediately. We have lived in many areas of the United States and even in Asia. The food was excellent, and the selection was as well. Four of us visited the restaurant on a Saturday night, and everyone remarked about the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the quality of service. In an area with a broad selection of Asian dishes within easy driving distance, this is our favorite. Even if you live in areas that are known for Asian food, Umami Way is worth the drive. read more

My first visit was excellent. Went back with my husband for Father's Day. First time came here with a few ladies for lunch. It was soooo good. Started with an appetizer order of the truffle fries. They were excellent. I ordered the lunch red Thai curry. I've had better. It was too sweet and no other seasonings. Needed salt. My friend meals were very good. Went back for Father's Day with hubby. Went later and there was not a crowd. The food we ordered was lack luster. They did not have common Thai/ Chinese dishes and lacked sat again. This time the experience was not good. Maybe will try again later. read more

Umami Way is clean, modern, and has a really nice bar area, even though we didn't try cocktails this time. Our waitress was pleasant and the service was fast. The food was very good overall, but nothing that really stood out the way I expected from a new, modern spot. My husband and I both had the Pad Thai -- tasty, but a little on the sweet side and not the best we've had. The crab rangoon was good but not as filled as some of the mom‑and‑pop Asian places around. The green tea was refreshing, and they offer three different kinds, which I liked. The edamame was good but could've used a bit more sea salt. Our fortune cookies tasted a little stale. Not a bad experience at all -- just not the "new favorite spot" I was hoping for. I'd try it again, but I'll probably still stick with some of the more established Asian places in the area. read more

I have visited Umami Way for take-out three times. It is conveniently located near the Publix in the Braselton Village shopping plaza. I have ordered during lunch and dinner, and wait times are generally 15 minutes. The interior is nice for dining in. I have had the black truffle fried rice (all shrimp requested) and Penang curry entrees. The black truffle fried rice was my favorite entree. I typically order Penang curry at Asian restaurants, yet theirs wasn't the flavor profile I expected. The lunch special has good value; I selected the curry, Lo Mein, hot and sour soup, and cucumber salad. Additionally, I tried the appetizer lemon pepper chicken wings and crab Rangoons. The chicken wings are small and they do not offer dressings (for example, Ranch) for dipping. The crab Rangoons are pretty good; more quantity would be appreciated. It's very close to home, so I'll likely visit again. Not sure whether I'll try something new, or stick to what I like! read more

Umami Way is one of the newest spots in Braselton (among many others in this quickly growing area). It features a variety of Asian comfort foods but mostly specializing in Chinese dishes. I travel to the area fairly frequently and I can't wait to come back and enjoy a meal at the restaurant and try something else. I ordered takeout online (which was extremely easy and they even had a tracker!) and it was done quickly. The restaurant itself looked like a good mix of elegant and casual on the inside. I made a mental note of the bar seating and multiple TVs for my next visit. I ordered the curry roti and kimchi fried rice. The roti itself was flaky goodness and chewy. The curry is more of a Japanese style curry than one that I'm used to featuring a coconut milk base but it was rich and full of flavor. Definitely something I was savoring after finishing. The kimchi fried rice was HUGE. They do not go easy in the chicken either. I had a piece of chicken and kimchi in almost every bite it was so satisfying. The fried rice was cooked perfectly and the kimchi flavor was not lacking. I would have liked a little more seasoning on the chicken but overall I enjoyed it. If you're in the area and are looking for something new to try with tons of variety go to Umami Way! read more

It was mostly a pleasant experience, when we first came in, there was a little bit of a attitude, but otherwise the attitudes were adjusted and the rest of the visit with our server was good. We enjoyed the food, the portions were perfect. The closest to 'authentic' you'll find around here. I'm a well traveled foodie and this is definitely an Asian cuisine place that I would travel to eat at again. read more

We ordered delivery again through their website and they were quick to get it to us. I'll note for "ambiance" everything was packaged really well. I'm going to be a bit critical here even though they didn't do anything wrong. Thai Green Curry is up there as one of my fav dishes, period. The green curry here is good. I would order it again. But it's not their best dish and not the best green curry I've had. It has all the right components and close to the level of creaminess that I prefer, definitely has the spice! But there is a noticeable sweetness missing. I'm not sure where that usually comes from in green curry dishes but it compliments the heat. This time I ordered it with chicken and there is something about the texture of the chicken that seems silkier(?) than normally expected at solely Thai restaurants. I believe this is due to the fact that Umami Way covers Chinese, Thai, and sushi where the chicken is prepared differently for a broader range of dishes. They do tofu really well, I've had it in other dishes. I may just order the green curry with tofu next time. Hubby got the Orange Chicken and I gotta say, the presentation is lovely, the dish hits as it should. The Thai tea is yummy! This is our fav delivery restaurant for Chinese/Thai/sushi in the area. We frequently order from them and they hit way more than miss, so I don't want to knock em too hard. The food is really good. This is just my personal take on the green curry as we work our way through trying different options on the menu. read more

Finally stopped by to try for dinner. Service was friendly. The only thing that I have to complain about is the cook forgot to add an ingredient to my dinner that makes the flavor really happen for the fish. It's supposed to have pickled mustard greens in it. What I got was really just Peppered Beef. It took us questioning it twice before the manager saw that it was missing the greens and he had them remake it. The new one came out and tasted COMPLETELY different (and exactly what I was looking for) than the other version. I'm glad we spoke up. The dish is SO much better with that cooked with it. It would have been a 5 star review if the staff included it originally, but I'm glad they fixed it. They will be worth trying again. The menu looks diverse so I plan to try other items. read more

I believe their specialty leans more toward Chinese cuisine rather than other dishes on the menu. The portion sizes were relatively large, which was nice, but the ramen broth reminded me more of pho, and the chicken pad thai was a bit bland for my taste. Overall, it just wasn't quite what I was expecting, so I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

I wanted more flavor from the Pho broth. But everything else was a hit. Crab Rangoon was tasty. Service was good, especially on a busy Saturday evening. Love the look of this place. Great decor and positive vibes. Food could be better. Very accommodating wish they had more space for larger groups. I'll try again later. read more

Finally a great Chinese/ Thai restaurant in Braselton! The decor of the restaurant is upscale. The menu is impressive with Chinese / Thai / Malaysian food. Full bar with some good craft cocktails. Had a beef soup and crispy chili chicken that were both excellent. I'll be back read more

Food was good and came out quick. The only thing that made me think twice is that the server followed us outside for tips. Our friend paid without us knowing & told her to add the tip to the check. We thought it'd already been paid and didn't think anything of it. I was very shocked that she followed us and made us pay for the tip in cash. This is the only reason they get a lower rating. read more

Deeeeelicious!! Love this restaurant! Highly recommend the Kung Pao, Lo Mein or General Tso!! Their chicken wonton soup is so good and their lunchboxes with cucumber salad and dumpling sides are off the charts. THANK GOODNESS FOR UMAMI WAY! read more

Randomly wandered into this place for lunch. The menu is extensive. We ordered some katsu curry and rice, bbq char siu pork with noodles and beef stir fry with pickled mustard greens. All three dishes were amazing! I hope they don't change a thing! I can't wait to try the other dishes on the menu too! Also, the cocktails and mocktails are amazing! read more

Excellent food! My 8-year-old said the Mongolian beef was the best he's ever had. We will be back very soon.

ordered panang curry and wonton soup. the won tong soup had mushy wontons. the filling was all in the soup. appears as if I got some left-over soup from prior day or it was just sitting. they started out with great food, but it is slowly going downhill. check your food quality when ordering for pick up. read more
