Umami Express is a rare find for celiacs craving bold, comforting Asian fusion without the gluten gamble. Every single menu item is crafted to be gluten, dairy, and peanut free, and their sauces are clearly labeled gluten-free—so you can actually relax and savor those umami-rich bowls for once. The kitchen's honest allergy disclosures (they mention potential trace cross-contact from suppliers and within their own kitchens) show a level of candor that's refreshing, even if it's not a 100% dedicated facility. If you've ever felt left out at fast-casual spots, this place feels like it was built with our community in mind—just double-check with staff if you're especially sensitive, but honestly, it's a breath of fresh air.
