What to Eat at Umi Nom, Kuma Inn’s Sister Spot, Opening Tomorrow

King Phojanakong’s Brooklyn follow-up to Kuma Inn opens Tuesday, and we have the debut menu of Southeast-Asian small plates (below). Unlike the Lower East Side original, Umi Nom features $10 noodle dishes like Pancit Canton — egg noodles with sausage, chicken, soy, and fish sauces — plus a fried-rice lineup. The name Umi Nom is a play on the Tagalog verb meaning “to drink,” says the Feed. Unfortunately, the wine-and-beer license is forthcoming.
