Umi Cafe

Remember guys, COFFEE served iced only. The owner gave us a warning before ordering many times LOL. The coffee is amazing though, so give it a try.

We tried the buns and they were amazing. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was nice and rich.

Great atmosphere and service. I would recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food and vibes.

The food is really good and well priced. Salt and pepper tofu was amazing. We also got pho, popcorn chicken, garlic fries, and lemon chicken+rice during this visit. Also service is SO fast!! (You place your order at the counter and they bring it to your table)

Definitely try the drinks/coffee! Loved their “snowing white” coconut coffee and other blended drinks. Boba isn’t their specialty but it is still ok. The owner is really kind and you can tell he cares about making good food for people. Every dish is well made and we have come back to dine here since.

Absolutely delightful place. First, I was greeted by a cute outdoor garden complete with koi pond. The atmosphere is wonderful, and had it not been raining, I would have enjoyed my meal outside. Inside, it's fairly simple but clean. The server was very attentive, and the food was SO good. I loved the crab buns. The strawberry milk tea was also very refreshing. I'll definitely come back!

This small little cafe tucked back by the community center of Issaquah is an absolute gem. I can't believe that I have been bringing my kids here to play basketball all year and just now discovered this place. The service is incredible. The owner is attentive, patient and really cool, the food is out of this world! We had Pho, Curry, wings, fries and popcorn chicken and it was all incredible to say the least!! The place fills up quick so come with patience and enjoy the atmosphere. It'll be well worth the wait!!

Beautiful restaurant in a nice spot, cool garden.

Tried the Taiwanese beef soup, it was very good, I only gave 4 because I like the beef cube style I had somewhere else before, but the broth was flavorful.

Also ordered the avocado matcha shake, tastes perfect, healthy and refreshing.

If I was still hungry I'd have ordered more since the aroma of whatever they were cooking was tempting me to over eat. Lol. Next time I'll try something else.

Definitely recommended for the nice food, atmosphere and friendly owner.

Beautiful patio atmosphere with amazing Chinese fusion food. Everything we ordered was delicious! You may attract some bees near your food in the summer if you’re outside on the patio, so beware.

A beautiful and serene gem in the heart of Issaquah! The price was reasonable given its location. We chose the outdoor space under the umbrella and our food came quite fast from the time we ordered (about 10 minutes), which was fabulous! Normally, the timeliness of the food would mean alot to but I was enjoying the beautiful garden-like space so much it didn't matter this time. Try the matcha tea with cheese foam cream if you haven't! A nice discovery on our long trip back from Walla Walla. Will definitely come back for more of everything! :)

I don’t normally love every single thing we order, but I definitely did this time. I got a strawberry latte and my husband got a cafe Vienna and I liked them both equally. They were delicious! We also ordered the pork belly bao bun and the duck bao bun and they were both really good, but our favorite was the duck. The crispy skin on the duck blew us away!

Been here so many times over the years. The service is always friendly and fast. Definitely hits the spot when craving noodles. Their variety of drinks is also a must try!

Bellevue has a number of phó and Vietnamese eateries but none stand out in terms of quality. Fortunately Umi Cafe in Issaquah is not far away.

We stopped in and were delighted. First off the menu is not stricly Vietnamese - I'd call it Vietnamese-asian fusion with Taiwanese influences. We ordered classic phó and the broth was outstanding. Lots of good herb flavor and not greasy. The chicken wings were crisp and served as a great base for the fish sauce lime red onion fried garlic sauce. Carmelized pork belly was so tender that I didn't need the knife. All in all it was great and I can't wait to return and try more menu items, especially the short rib phó which the owner talked up as one of the dishes he's very proud of.

I think this cafe is pretty good! Sit outside in a sunny day and it is perfect ! You can try the beef rib pho and Taiwanese beef noodle ! Pork belly bun is a must!

Stumbled into this restaurant by accident, and what a pleasant surprise this was. Sat outside in the garden under a red umbrella next to the pond looking a the lotus flowers drift back and forth under the sound of water splashing, while gentle piano music played on the background setting the mood for a wonderful afternoon with my hungry and beautiful wife. We ordered Short Ribs Pho and Spicy Curry chicken which were promptly delivered to put patio style table. The food was extremely delicious and the service was outstanding. We will return here with friends, this place it is just too good to keep it to ourselves.

Zen-like courtyard for outdoor seating, and cozy indoor space. Speedy, efficient service. Excellent wings - crispy and flavorful (we tried the honey garlic variety). Decadent pork buns. Noodle soup is a generous portion - perfect on an overcast fall day.

I have passed by this restaurant a million times. Always curious. My 7 year old begged for us to go. Best decision ever. Delicious food. We had the spicy chicken dumplings, gyoza dumplings, and spring rolls. We definitely over ordered but almost ate everything. Super good food. Nice waiter. Fast service. Can’t wait to go back and try their viet coffee.I can’t wait to eat here when it warms up during the summer. The outdoor space is so cute.

Wow! The atmosphere is so relaxing. The food was perfectly seasoned and it was out in a flash. This is definitely the kind of place I will be back to again and again.

Super tasty food at affordable prices! We ordered the popcorn chicken, cashew chicken curry, chicken bahn mi, their daily special crab bun and mushroom soup. Everything was splendid! Beautiful zen garden outside as well. Ki

What a cute place! They have a beautiful courtyard with a pond and outdoor seating. The drinks were good, the Jasmine green tea with salted cream was fresh and is a good pick if you like that floral Jasmine flavor. I loved my BBQ pork fried rice, it surprisingly flavorful. Will definitely come again!

This restaurant is a gem. Amazing food, everything is made inhouse. Definitely try thier garlic fries and umi fried rice.
The service was great. The ambiance was exceptionally good. They have a small pond with tiny waterfall and outdoor seating. Very picturesque.

I had the Taiwanese beef noodle soup and fried tofu - all really good! There is a cute little garden out front too! Would recommend if you wanna stop somewhere near the highway for some food after a hike! :)

Very nice atmosphere!! Several vegetarian/vegan options 👍Taiwanese beef noodle soup🍲 is a popular choice. I ordered spicy Thai coconut noodles, was a little bit too rich. BoBa tea🍵 is great! Looking forward to going back on a sunny day so we can sit outside by the Koi pond. 🐟
