Sushi Umai

Sushi Umai is one of Chiang Mai’s most popular sushi spots, with several branches around the city—but the original Nimman location is the one we recommend.

It’s a small, cozy, no-frills restaurant where the focus is entirely on the food. The sushi and sashimi are fresh, generously portioned, and consistently delicious, making it a go-to for locals and visitors alike.

The vibe is simple and unpretentious, but that’s part of the charm—it’s all about great Japanese food done right, without any fuss.
