Umami Shop

Absolutely loved my visit to Umami Shop in Lethbridge! The grocery selection is fantastic—I found so many unique Asian ingredients and specialty items that are hard to find elsewhere. The store is clean, modern, and well-organized, making it easy to browse. Staff were friendly and helpful, and I especially appreciated the variety of gluten-free, vegan, and keto options. Highly recommend for anyone looking to spice up their pantry with global flavors!

Used to swear by this place. Loved the access to vegan and gluten free food. Customer service has gone way down and their prices are more expensive than other specialty stores. They sold me expired food from Aug 2024 (Currently April 2025) and when I went to return it they tried to not refund me. Saying it was a production date and was still fine to eat. It was separated and the wrong colour when I opened it. When I got there it had warmed up enough to absorb some of the liquid but was still the wrong colour. I have eaten this product for years and even fresh directly from the company when I lived in that country. Even with a quick google search from the company of the product they state its a best before date and should be consumed within one week of that date or two weeks after opening. Either way they have lost me as a customer after years of going there. Do not recommend going here, try Nutters or other speciality stores.
