Got the protein lover's bowl. The food is extremely bland, no seasoning. The meat tastes like its been boiled. The sauce isn't enough to cover everything so its still left bland. So disappointed, I could barely finish it. I will definitely never order from here ever again.

Really enjoyed how this restaurant focused on the quality and usage of their ingredients as the forefront of their dishes. As someone who doesn't eat gluten, I feel like it is a hit or miss from a restaurant in doing this. I enjoyed the wagyu rice bowl I had and thought it was really flavorful. Had it with a side of the garlic sauce. I think that the sauce really brings out the dish; if you didn't need the sauce, then I would have given it a 5/5. Would definitely go back.

Food was disgusting. Not edible. 5 of us ordered it together on DoorDash for lunch and the veggies are all tiny and chopped there's no texture to it. The meat is not good quality it's gross shredded beef. Lacks flavor. Wouldn't recommend nor order again.

I’m so glad this restaurant exists for its delicious umami menu items. I love their garlic chili flakes!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Umami Express for their excellent food delivery service. I recently used their services for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience.From the beginning, the ordering process was simple and convenient. Their website is easy to navigate, and the menu options are top-notch. I had plenty of choices to select from, and each one of them turned out to be absolutely delicious.What impressed me the most was the speed of delivery. My food arrived exactly on time, and it was hot and fresh as if it had just been prepared. This is truly important to me because nothing spoils an appetite like cold or delayed delivery.The quality of the ingredients was also top-notch. All the dishes were prepared with great care and attention to detail, and this was evident in every bite. Their kitchen offers an amazing combination of flavors and textures, making the dining experience truly memorable.Lastly, I want to commend their customer support service. They were friendly and responsive, always ready to assist with my questions and requests.Overall, Umami Express is a company that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for reliable delivery of high-quality food. They not only provide amazing dishes but do so with professionalism and a customer-centric approach. Thanks to them, my food always arrives on time and satisfies my most discerning taste preferences.

I am not playing around! This place is delicious! I am not a health geared person but do have celiacs. I am used to disappointment at this point but when I tried my first bite.... I can't even tell you how good the pork shoulder with cabbage is. I omitted the chestnuts. Insanely delicious. My partner got the Protein lover rice bowl with added pork. It was originally seasoned per cut. The flavor is amazing. Must try and very weighted. Get an extra sauce. Try the smoothies.

Sooo. Virtual businesses. Ok fine with that, but at least have a way to contact you. Was allergic to an ingredient. Ordered through Doordash. "Store has chosen not to modify any selections" the option to remove items was greyed out. When Doordash called the restaurant to say I was allergic they told Doordash, "We already made it" Soo I didn't eat it

Was not what I expected when I got there. Walk up a window instead of a restaurant. It was like a locker room and less like a comfortable to have a sit down meal.

I just ordered food from here via Doordash because it had positive reviews. I don’t know if it was the particular people working tonight or what, but the tofu is very sour and fishy smelling! Completely inedible. The side of “vegetables” looks like pre-packaged frozen vegetables that were defrosted in a microwave then put in a food processor. The “sauce” is watery and tasteless. I have to throw half this food out so I’m very upset at wasting time and money tonight.The dasher also didn’t even notify me that they were at my gate and just left the food on the ground!! Who does that?

Food was filling and delicious! I got the chicken bowel with garlic sesame seed soy sauce. The chicken was pretty tender and had excellent flavor. The vegetables had a nice texture and complemented the meal. The rice was cooked all the way! Definitely will order from here again!

I ordered the chicken bowl and it was straight up DELOICIOUS. The mushroom flavors were bold and tasty and the garlic sauce was incredible. I get super picky when it comes to rice bowls but the rice was cooked to absolute perfection. The only issue I had was I felt like I didn't get a whole lot of chicken. BUT, the chicken was also insanely tasty and I just would have liked more. I am DEFINITELY ordering from here again and I highly recommend trying this place! PS, the green smoothie? AMAHZING!

I am OBSESSED with this place. I've ordered it from post mates 4 x now in the last 3 weeks and I don't have enough good things to say. The wagyu beef bowl and chicken bowl w avocado and garlic sesame sauce are actually to die for. I could honestly eat here in every day it's fresh, good portion, clean, delicious, amazing flavors, healthy, ahh.

First time trying this place. It is delicious! I ordered the Rice Chicken bowl. Definitely need more dressing...will order extra next time..but delicious and fresh! if you're looking to eat something on the healthier side and full of flavor...this is it!

I have to echo what everyone else has already said--this is the perfect thing for a healthy meal. Clean tasting ingredients, excellent balance of flavors and large enough portions that you're not still hungry when you're done.
