Our Story
Wumami started right in my kitchen, with a batch of wings and a whole lot of flavor experiments. I didn’t have a truck, just a deep fryer, some spices, and neighbors who kept coming back for more. What started as “just wings” turned into a mission — to bring bold, global comfort flavors to the streets of Richmond. Wings are tossed with our signature rub. Sauces are served on the side.
Wumami Signature Rub
This rub started in the kitchen before Wumami was even a truck — just chasing flavor until it made sense. Sixteen spices, all talking to each other, none of them too loud. It’s bold, balanced, and built off hustle. The Wumami Signature Rub is the flavor that puts us on the map — a little heat, a lot of soul, and 100% from scratch. You can smell it in the air and all around the truck. It is in just about everything we make — it’s the heartbeat of Wumami.
The Name "Wumami"
It's a play on the word “Umami" that represents that deep, savory flavor you chase in every dish. The “W” in Wumami stands for wings — the dish that started it all. But it also stands for waves: waves of flavor, culture, and creativity. And umami? That’s the taste that hits you right in the soul — the fifth flavor that brings everything together. That’s what Wumami is all about.
Beyond The Ordinary
Wumami is more than a food truck — it’s a vibe.
We serve American comfort food inspired by global flavors. We mix cultures, memories, and flavor to create something real and unforgettable. From backyard wings to city streets. The goal? Keep spreading flavor, keep building community, and keep showing love through food — one plate, one bite, one wave at a time.
