Umami Express

If I were to have a checklist of the meal I'd want to marry, this checked off my boxes. vegan gluten free healthy deliciousI cannot praise how much this hit the spot. Fresh ingredients and quickly made. Ordered the organic Tofu Greens Bowl, added tofu, with an extra garlic sesame soy sauce dressing. I would order from their Oakland location when I worked in the bay and ecstatically floored they're in my hood. Service the same from the Bay to Sac. Fresh ingredients, gluten free, vegan options.

Overall I would give them 4 stars my food was fresh, it was quick and timely. The pork was flavorful, enough salad to cover a few additional meals, if necessary. However, I will not give them a four because I added pork, which was an extra charge and then there was absolutely no chicken on my meal. I have the garlic key, lemon or something sauce. It was tangy and they gave you plenty. I'd probably try the spicy sauce next time.This is a pick up spot so you order your food and basically pick it up out of a locker. You don't actually get service from any particular person. We went inside and ordered at the kiosk, then went and sat back in the car. There are some CD individuals walking by but other than that I think with a lot of redevelopment things may get better and maybe they'll stay open later. There is no ambiance as you're just picking up your food from a locker.If I wanted something really healthy to eat that was tasty I would definitely go back again.

Just stopping by to say Umami Express is still the best! Large portions, amazing, delicious, and fresh ingredients. 1000/10 - I love this place!

I loved the protein lover rice bowl! I loved the mixture of different protein and all the veggies and love forbidden rice, it's my favorite rice! Lots of food and yummy dressing! I also order green smoothie too.... I will definitely order from here again!

4/5 Stars - Food was GREAT but because this is takeout only I'm giving the restaurant 1 less star. I suggest you try it. I ordered the wagyu rice bowl with the garlic sesame soy sauce. 5/5Unfortunately take out will never be 100% fresh by the time you bite into it, but the meat was flavorful and tender. The rice was well cooked and filling and the added veggies made this dish taste and feel fresh. The garlic sesame sauce tasted like a sesame paste with soy sauce added. The sauce was good and they give a decent portion but I'll try another next time. I prefer a sit down restaurant with a comfortable, trendy atmosphere where you know the food is fresh to the table. So -1 star purely based on the fact that it is takeout only.

Great place for healthy take out and very vegetarian friendly. For the bowls you get veggies with cabbage and/or rice and you customize by choosing your sauce and a protein (chicken, beef, pork or tofu). I greatly appreciate that they offer organic tofu as an option which was very tasty. For the sauces, we chose a garlic sesame soy sauce and the spicy orange sesame sauce that had a nice kick to it. We also loved their house made szechuan chili oil crunch on the side. It's got a lot of flavor but also packs a punch. Delivery was super quick and everything was perfectly packaged for take out. We accidentally placed 2 orders which was fine b/c we had lunch the next day. Portions are very generous in size too.

Simple. Quick. Healthy. Flavorful. Easy. I appreciate that it is customizable and fresh made (tofu options for vegan/vegetarian). I was very impressed overall and grateful I gave it a try. I also appreciate the pricing and portion size. These are great meals. Highly recommend! :)

Oh I'm a big fan of this place. It may become a problem. Was looking for something high in protein, and tasty, and this place did not disappoint. Super yummy blend of meats, veggies, and rice and definitely enough for more than one meal. Can't speak to service or ambience since this was a door dash situation. Good luck to this new business I'm sure you will do well!!

Terrible experience. I order pickup at ~7:20, pickup says it'll be ready at 7:30. Food isn't ready until 8:15. Nothing more souring on the experience than having to wait 45 minutes. Food was ok but not worth the $52 for two bowls and a small smoothie.

Very disappointing serving of food. I ordered the chicken bowl and receive the tiniest portion of meat and a huge serving of rice. This seems to be consistent among all the restaurants in this building. It's good food but please stop being so stingy with the meat. It's basically a veggie bowl not a chicken bowl.
