UMI Sushi & Ramen

Nigiri and sashimi cut to order, rolls built at the marble bar, ramen worth the wait — inside North Dakota's oldest Thai kitchen.

Ordering runs through Leela Thai's page — the UMI menus are inside it.

Why UMI?

A room built for it
Moon-gate archways, indigo tile, pendant lanterns over the sushi bar — and the koi, for prosperity and calm.
Made in front of you
The bar is the centerpiece: nigiri and sashimi cut to order, rolls built while you watch.
Upscale, never stiff
More coastal retreat than formal dining room. Linger over sake — that's the point.
