    My wife came home 1 day and told me about this great place called Unami express that she got a bowl from one of her bosses and she couldn't stop bragging about how delicious it was. So of course, I had to try it was from one of those cloud kitchens. Where you order online and go pick up.So that was a new experience for me but it was so fast and everything was perfect.The food was absolutely delicious and will definitely be going back.Especially since I'm on keto and everything they have.I can eat except for the rice part but they have options.

    Fresh cabbage, steamed and chopped veggies, and delicious pork

    I ordered delivery on GrubHub and the food is amazing! The packaging itself could be higher quality, but they did a great job of putting the right proportions in the bowl and it's exactly as it was described on GrubHub

    Receipt but they didn't put any chicken although I added pork. Got pork only
    Nita R.

    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.

    Protein Lover Rice & Cabbage Bowl

    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. 5/5 Unfortunately 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.

    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!!

    While following another Sacramento social page, I stumbled onto Marias Paella & Empanadas. In one…read moreof the videos she was stirring up a huge pot of paella at the farmer's market. I listened carefully to her and was impressed by her enthusiasm. Weeks later I finally made my way by her shop. Not a lot of parking and normal for parts of Sacramento. A busy little section of town that could also be good for business. I was greeted kindly and professionally once inside. Small amounts of seating inside and a few out front. I didn't expect all the variety of empanadas they made. They were a bit smaller than I expected, but each of them were super delicioso! Now I want to make another trip back to the farmers market in Sac to pair it up with the paella. Totally looking forward to my next visit.

I had pretty high hopes that it would be pretty close to what I have had in Spain unfortunately that was not the case. I will say that the taste was not too bad. I would give it a 7/10. However, it was the texture of the rice. It was too mushy. The empanada was pretty good. The service was quick. It was a pretty small place, so I don't recommend coming here as a group- it's more of a take and go. May come here again and if I do will make sure to update.

I was able to gain access to my account, make the adjustments to my delivery schedule and all within just a few minutes time. Chat feature was so fast and Kenzie was on top of my needs.

    TL;DR - 1 star 1 out of 5 Stars…read more I am... Err WAS... a brand-new customer. My relationship with Trifecta Nutrition lasted a glorious total of "less than a week or so" before crashing and burning. I literally signed up for their service, received my very first order, and didn't realize the cutoff time for the following week had already passed. Because of an unexpected conflict, I am going to be out of the state for over a week. I immediately contacted customer service on a Sunday to catch it early and put a hold on the order. Keep in mind, the food wasn't even scheduled to be delivered until the end of the follolwing week. Plenty of time to hit pause or find SOME sort of solution for a newbie, right? And even if it wasn't, at least find some sort of workable solution for a NEW customer. Wrong. Instead of any actual assistance, I got a flat NOPE from customer service. The genius, highly accommodating solution from the super-intelligent "Mackenzie T." - - - - Since I'll be away, I should just have a friend or family member drive miles to my home and go take my (questionable) "food." WOW--brilliant! Why didn't I think of leaving $150+ worth of perishable meals--if you can even call them that--on a porch for over a week to see who wants it? In fact, nothing says "please break into this house" quite like leaving a massive, branded box sitting outside for 7+ days while I'm out of the state. So now, here I am, STILL actively trying to bribe friends, family, coworkers, anyone with cold hard cash to convince them to drive over, take this box of sadness, and dump the contents straight into the compost bin. And let's be real--with California gas prices currently hovering somewhere near a mortgage payment, it's costing me a fortune just to dispose of this biohazard. Because let's face it, nobody actually wants to eat it. I've used numerous other meal delivery services over the years (e.g., Factor, Cook Unity, Tovala, Blue Apron, HelloFresh, Home Chef, to list a couple), and I can safely say I've had scheduling issues with a handful of them. Even if it was my mistake or not, those companies almost ALWAYS find a way to work with you on unexpected conflicts--and that's for established accounts. Showing zero flexibility for someone who hasn't even been in your system for a full month is truly peak customer care!!!!!! Groundbreaking, really. The icing on the cake? The first order I did receive--and suffer through trying to consume--didn't soften the blow. If you enjoy a remarkably bland, uniform taste where it genuinely feels like they use the exact same single spice profile for literally everything, you're in luck. Save your money and the headache. Go try of the other services I listed above, unless you really want to pay premium prices to feed your neighbors identical-tasting chicken while you're across the country. Oh, but wait, there's more... After I pointed out that other companies are actually flexible and that I'd *hope* for at least some effort to accommodate a brand-new customer and to just go ahead and cancel my entire account..... The masterclass in customer retention response? "OK, canceled, and if you ever want to restart, reply back." Do you REALLY think I'd voluntarily sign up to put up with double the crap from Trifecta (crap food and crap service)? NOPE. I'd rather share my story on Yelp and hopefully spare some other poor, hungry soul from having to go through this experience. So... in summary - TL;DR - 1 star, obviously.

Tasty, fresh, healthy, clean eating. Always a ton of food, I usually have plenty for 2 meals. I think I've tried every variation on the Mixto bowls. My favorite is probably the tofu, and sadly, my least favorite is the Carnitas, which is more like meh pulled pork, not much seasoning and not crispy. The diced tomatillos and pickled onions are tart and delicious and provide a nice contrast to the heavier elements. Usually add avocado as well. All the sauces are good. I always get the hot sauce, and generally both green and red. The green smoothie is tasty, hydrating and not too sweet. I love having this option downtown. It's nice to be able to get something relatively quickly that you don't feel bad about eating, and the cost is more than fair. I've seen a number of folks complain about the protein portions here. They aren't huge, maybe 4 oz? That is plenty for me, particularly with the millet and beans, but if you're worried about having more protein, you can add on extra when you place your order, it's not terribly expensive to do so.
