Reviews for Cafe Umami Uptown in Oakland, CA
I LOVE their Vegge Power Bowl (w/ half rice / salad) and the "For Her" tea. Btw, the dressing is so bomb! They have a curation... of healthy yet flavorful "unami" dishes. The vegge power bowl seems to be their most popular dish. Also, the owner is so lovelyand such a pleasure to speak too. It's nice to support a business where the people who work there are A++. A note thateverything here is gluten free, so those of you like me who have a severe gluten allergy, rejoice! This place has become minego-to early lunch spot. Yummerz. Read more
Their mushroom bulgogi bowl is pretty flavorful. Few places to sit inside and out.
Based on all the reviews, I had really wanted to love this place. I ordered the power salad from ordering.app and tipped well.... When I showed up for pick up, they said the order did not go through and that happens occasionally. No apology, just "we'll makeyour order now, it will take a few minutes." Ok, no problem. Upon opening the box, I find the pork sausage cold and tastelessand soft-boiled egg fully boiled. The rest of the salad was underwhelming as well. I'm hopeful this was an aberration. I will goback again to try other items. Read more
Delicious food and great service! Easy for online order and pickup too. The bowls were really flavorful and I would definitely... recommend as both a lunch and dinner place. Read more
First time writing a review for a restaurant. Ordered to go because of COVID but it didn?t affect the taste at all! The chicken... bowl (+ tofu salad) I had at Cafe Umami was probably the best bowl I?ve ever had. It?s so flavorful and healthy. Very fillingand just amazing. Perfect for a quick lunch. Found this place while in the area and went based on the reviews, they did notdisappoint. Definitely will be back. Read more
My favorite place in downtown Oakland for a healthy and tasty meal.
Super yummy and healthy food. The kind of dishes that make you feel better after eating them. I?m hesitant to recommend because... it?s such a gem and I want it all to myself :) Read more
The pulled pork jook is probably the best lunch option around
