    Coconut greens drink ~ tasty and a hint of sweet!
    Elizabeth S.

    I decided we would try Umami Express for our Friday company lunch at work today. The bowls looked enticing on Uber Eats. The Wagyu Beef Green Bowl was my bowl (or should I say box) of choice and the Coconut Greens drink was my chosen libation. I was very satisfied! The ingredients were fresh and the garlic sesame soy sauce on top with the Szechuan Chili Oil Crunch was a perfect combo. Flavors were all intact and my taste buds were happy! They automatically put sauces on the side which is perfect. I enjoyed the lightly sweetened Coconut Greens drink and would repeat this refreshment. Overall, I asked around and everyone liked their bowls whether pork, chicken, or wagyu beef- on rice or greens. It appears Unami Express is new on the scene and probably worked out their kinks since the earlier reviews. I guarantee we will be ordering again for Friday company lunches and likely for my own personal cravings!

    Ordered on Uber Eats and never got my food. If they are that busy, they shouldn't put the estimate for 10-20 minutes.

    Medium spicy was too spicy for us. Food was tasty. Long waiting time, which we werent aware of…read more Overall 3.5 to 4 out of 5.

    Five stars for me means 1) I would recommend this place to others, and 2) I am still thinking about…read morethe food and am actively planning my return. Siam Station comfortably fits into this category. Easily some of the best Thai food out there. Service was quick and attentive, and our server knew the menu well to quickly fire off his recommendations. Food came out hot and fast, all five dishes within a couple minutes of each other. Portions are great, especially the curries. At Thai places, I'm used to seeing small bowls of curry. This is an upgrade. Even the prices are reasonable. Had a peanut allergy in our group (maybe Thai wasn't the best choice), and they were so accomodating. Safe to say that no one died. All the dishes were delicious, but some stand outs were the Panang Curry and the Basil Fried Rice. The Panang Curry had a subtle, yet distinct lemongrass flavor, which was creamy, savory, sweet, and hearty. Perfect for a cold day. The Fried Rice is perfect with fried pork as the protein. Imagine chicharrones with fried rice, sounds good right? As a tip, only get the fried pork with non-liquid/saucy dishes so that it doesn't get soggy. Spice levels were manageable. We got dishes ranging from mild to medium, and I appreciate that there's an obvious difference. Next time, we may adventure up to spicy. As a small critique, I wouldn't mind if there were more spice levels for the perfect tasting experience. Excited to hear there's another location in Milipitas, will have to check it out soon.

For the most part, the portion was generous. Rice was a bit plain, they should've provided some kind of hot sauce at the table in case I wanted to spice it up. The chili oil wontons were decent, but more peanut butter than chili oil. Chicken feet were surprisingly good, the sauce was tasty. And my boyfriend got the beef stew with biang biang noodles and he said the beef was tender, the soup was tasty, and the noodles were good. What I liked about this place is that all of our food came out fresh and hot. Service was okay, I felt like the people working there weren't mean, but they also weren't very friendly. Plenty of parking, by the way, on the opposite side from El Camino.

The chicken itself was a little dry and rather thin, but the curry was delicious, and the rice was well cooked. The potatoes were the perfect vehicle to soak up all the curry sauce!! This particular curry was more Malaysian in style, don't expect a Cantonese or Japanese curry. It also came with 10-12 leaves of raw spinach on the side, which was kind of a strange addition for me. I think I would have preferred a cooked green veggie on the side.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAtmosphere: 4/5 The food is genuinely so tasty here! I got: - bibimbap bowl: the egg is cooked so well, egg white is cooked thoroughly and egg yolk is still runny; the beef is thoroughly marinated and the veggies are crunchy Service is efficient and polite, and you get a buzzer to tell you when your food is ready. The food comes out pretty fast. The overall shared dining area is regularly kept clean inside Great Mall, there is great lighting and high ceilings, and there is plenty of parking in front of the food court entrance. I don't love the restrooms here -- it's hard to get the automatic sink faucets to stay on, and they give a tiny spurt of water on and off while you try to maneuver your hands around. The caulking in the sinks also clearly have a bunch of mold behind/in them, which is gross. Unfortunately other Great Mall bathrooms seem to be in the same condition. If you don't have to use the restroom, this is a great lunch spot!

    Had a catered lunch with them. Food arrived on time, for over 200 people, so happy to see that is…read morenot a concern. Our menu included Soy Sauce Chicken, Spicy Pork, Japchae Noodle, Pan Fried Cubed Tofu, Shredded Cabbage and Carrot, Kimchi with shrimp, and fresh fruits. At first I thought the Soy Sauce Chicken was like the Chinese kind of cut-up chicken with skin and bones, but it's actually smaller pieces of chicken meat in soy sauce flavor. Kinda dry for me. The Spicy Pork is hella spicy! And when it's spicy, you can't taste any other flavors. Japchae Noodle was just plain mung bean noodle with soy sauce, no other ingredients. It's salty and the more you eat the saltier it gets. This is usually my go to dish but now I'm disappointed. Shredded Cabbage and Carrot is very light in flavor, just boiled chopped veg. It's useful to mix them with the over-seasoned meat. The cubed tofu is ok, probably my least complained dish. In general, it's a very simple lunch with little to highlight.
