2023 New Year's celebration at Umi was nice, but the noise level is way too much. It was actually absurd. This was my second time at umi. And I enjoyed the food, but each time, the noise was way too overboard. The server would often disappear, and we were left wondering where many of our items ordered were and some never even arrived, even though they were on my bill at the end (which they promptly removed after brought to ther attention). I don't think I will return for a third attempt. The chairs are wooden and incredibly uncomfortable, and the restaurant is kept so dark that you can't see anything, including your server. There is no hard printed menu, so you have to scan and try to see the menu mice-type on your phone, which is also incredibly inconvenient.
