It is a well known fact that Chinese food is extremely popular in India. We have created our own brand new homegrown Chinese or Chin-Zabi recipe to satisfy the craving for umami flavor. However, in the post-COVID era, diners are more inclined to experiment and explore other cuisines from Asian countries. The growing popularity of shows and movies from these countries has led to the appearance of Japanese cuisine in a large way in Korean cuisine. If you want to explore the amazing flavors of Pan-Asian cuisine beyond the usual desi Chinese, YouMee is where you need to be.
Located on the 3rd floor of Gulzar Ambience Mall, Yumi Scores full marks in terms of accessibility. The spacious restaurant space is brightly decorated and gives off a casual and fun ambiance instead of the usual dimly lit Chinese eateries. Inspired by famous manga comic scenes, the black and white interiors are prominently displayed. A quick glance at the menu reveals a plethora of options for all kinds of tastes, appetites and eaters.

While the main course left us spoiled for choice, we would definitely recommend trying Vegan Coconut Curry Ramen Bowl, The yellow coconut milk based curry with vegetables like broccoli, baby corn, carrots, mushrooms and cauliflower was really satiating. The addition of coriander, spring onions, lemongrass, ground peanuts, galangal and fresh red chillies added flavor to the dish. Another Thai favourite, Raw Papaya Som Tamo, was next on our list. The sweet and juicy salad had an incredibly flavorful dressing and the signature bird’s eye chili added a delicious layer of spice to it.
