Back-to-school season brings busy mornings, packed schedules and afternoons when everyone is ready for one thing: a good meal. After classes, activities and everything in between, lunchtime is the perfect opportunity for families to sit down, recharge and enjoy some quality time together.
At Umami, there are plenty of choices to keep both little and bigger appetites happy.
For Our Little Friends
When it comes to younger diners, simple and familiar favourites are often the way to go. That’s why the Umami menu has a dedicated For Our Little Friends category, with dishes made especially for them.
Crispy Chicken Balls are a fun and tasty choice, served with either egg and vegetable fried rice or jasmine rice, alongside sweet chilli mayo. For noodle fans, Chicky Noodles combine yellow noodles with chicken and vegetables, while Chicken Fried Rice brings together chicken, peppers, carrot, onion, zucchini and egg.
Three easy favourites for an after-school lunch.
Something for Everyone at the Table
Of course, a family meal means different cravings around the same table. While the little ones enjoy their favourites, the wider Umami menu offers plenty for everyone else.
Start with a few dishes to share, from gyozas and spring rolls to tempura prawns, before moving on to fresh sushi rolls, poke bowls, satisfying noodles or wok dishes.
Whether you’re in the mood for something light or something a little more comforting, everyone can choose their own favourite while still enjoying the meal together.
Make Lunchtime Family Time
After a busy school day, sometimes the best plans are the simplest ones: good food, everyone around the table and a little time to catch up.
From the dedicated For Our Little Friends selection to sushi, noodles, poke bowls and more for the grown-ups, Umami makes an after-school lunch easy to enjoy together. School’s out. Lunch is served. 🥢
