From the Thai kitchen

Maya in the dining room, in front of the tiger mural

Family-run, wok-fired

Leela Thai opened in 2007 and is North Dakota's oldest Thai restaurant. Maya started in this kitchen in 2014, fell for the place, and bought it in 2017. The recipes are honest, the spice levels mean it, and the tiger on our wall watches over every table. The Red River Valley has voted us its Best Ethnic Cuisine three times — 2018, 2023, and 2025.

Then there's UMI.

Fargo has sushi. UMI is the premium version — a dedicated bar with its own chefs, nigiri and sashimi cut to order, rolls built in front of you. And a room to match: navy booths, marble, chandeliers, and a blue-and-white koi watching over the back alcove.

Feeding a crowd?

Trays of curry, satay by the dozen, egg rolls by the score. We cater offices, parties, and everything between.
