Discover UMAI Social Club – A Japanese Culinary and Cultural Escape in Guatemala City

UMAI Social Club offers a unique dining experience that beautifully blends authentic Japanese flavors with the vibrant energy of anime culture. Nestled in the heart of Guatemala City at VIA 6 2-71 Zona 4 Cantón Exposición Edificio Silk, this restaurant invites visitors to immerse themselves in a dynamic atmosphere inspired by Japanese manga, complete with Tokyo-style decor and carefully selected Japanese music that enhances the overall ambiance.

Exquisite Menu and Inviting Atmosphere

UMAI Social Club takes pride in its ramen, which is crafted with deep, well-balanced broths full of umami richness. Signature dishes like the Shoyu Ramen feature perfectly marinated eggs and generous toppings that satisfy true ramen enthusiasts. For those who enjoy a spicy kick, the Red Spicy Curry ramen offers a delightful warmth that invigorates the palate.

The menu also shines with innovative offerings such as the Big Taco Sushi—tempura-coated nori filled with rice, avocado, and your choice of fresh shrimp or tuna—combining texture and flavor in every bite. To complement your meal, UMAI Social Club suggests pairing your dishes with a refreshing local beer from Antigua, Guatemala, adding a native touch to the Japanese fusion dining experience.

Operating hours provide flexibility for guests: open Wednesday through Saturday with midday and evening service, and Sunday afternoons. The intimate yet lively social club environment makes it an ideal spot for anyone fascinated by Japanese culture or simply yearning for top-notch ramen and sushi with attitude.

Whether you are a ramen aficionado, a fan of Japanese pop culture, or seeking a memorable meal in Guatemala City, UMAI Social Club promises an unforgettable culinary journey that you’ll want to revisit again and again.

Ramen with soul and sushi with attitude — Umai Social ClubnnUmai Social Club isn't just a restaurant; it's a visual and gustatory experience from the moment you walk in. Its aesthetic, inspired by Japanese manga, immediately transports you to another world, ideal for those of us who love Japanese culture with an urban twist.nn What we came to try: the ramennnRamen here is taken seriously. The Shoyu Ramen was the favorite of the night: a deep, well-balanced broth with that umami that warms from the first sip. The marinated egg was perfectly cooked, and the toppings were generous, just as they should be.nFor those who are brave enough to enjoy spicy food, the Red Spicy Curry is a delicious journey with a kick at the end that warms the soul (and the tongue!).nn But what made us stay…nn…were the Big Taco Sushi. What a gem! Tempura-coated nori that stays crispy until the last bite, filled with rice, avocado, and a choice of protein. We ordered shrimp and tuna, and there was no need to add anything else. The texture, balance of flavors, and presentation are impeccable.nn To PairnnOrder a local beer from Antigua, Guatemala, to round out the experience with a national touch. Cold, frothy, and perfect for the type of food.nn Ambience and ServicennThe music is perfect for the place, modern but not intrusive. The only point for improvement is the service, as during peak hours there was only one server for the entire place. They do their best, but you can feel the wait. However, it doesn't overshadow the quality of the menu.nn⸻nnConclusion: Come for the ramen, stay for the sushi tacos, come back for the full experience. Umai Social Club is a must-stop in Guatemala City if you're looking for Japanese fusion with character.
