Unmistakably, unparalleled...Umu

With two chefs from Japan ready to concoct one of the freshest sashimi selections this side of town, no wonder Manila’s A-listers are rushing to reserve and dine at Umu — one of Manila’s best restaurants which offer authentic Japanese dishes. Gerhard Kropp, regional vice president of Dusit International and president of Philippine Hoteliers Inc, owning company of Dusit International, mentioned that Umu, which means “born out of nature,” is as authentic as a Japanese restaurant should be, complete with Western and Japanese Tatami private rooms. Reputedly being one of the biggest Japanese restaurants in Manila, Umu was recently named a finalist in the Hotel World Global Hospitality and Design Awards held in Las Vegas. And every Tuesday, financial groups from the business districts gravitate to Umu’s cool dining area overlooking the relaxing Umu garden with a fantastic koi fish pond to close deals while dining in a Zen-like ambiance. Dusit Thani Manila depicts the gracious hospitality that is truly ‘The Asian Way of Life’.
