About

Umai Mi serves a broad Pan-Asian menu, with dishes such as spicy miso ramen, salt-and-pepper tofu, sushi and vegan-chicken chow mein among the reported vegan choices. It’s a comfortable sit-down spot with quick service and generous portions, though recent reports raise concerns about whether some vegan-labelled chicken alternatives are still vegan and about past order mix-ups.
