    Spicy Thai Chicken Bowl
    Shauna W.

    I was delighted to find this alternative to the usual chain restaurants with MSG and antibiotics in their chicken. I got the Spicy Thai Chicken Bowl and orange blossom & mint iced tea, which was perfect for a hot day. My only complaint was that the employee who made my bowl was on his phone before he put his gloves on... kind of gross but he did put fresh gloves on before making my bowl. Will return/support next time I'm in Springfield.

    The food was ready quickly. The quality of food was very poor, unfortunately. I used to go to a couple places like this in Florida so I had high hopes, I guess. My order was incorrect and the food was of low quality. My favorite part was the "fresh basil" that I topped it off with. I ordered 2 kinds of noodles. I only got one kind, which were very dry and hard to chew. The bottom of the bowl was full of some sort of liquid that I didn't order. The tofu was flavorless. Nothing that claimed to be spicy was spicy. I just found the whole dish very disappointing and lacking flavor in general. I really wanted to like this place. I live/love healthy eating and was looking for a good option in Springfield.

    Fire Tuna Poke bowl with everything from menu description and tropical green tea
    Holly R.

    Pleasantly surprised to find they have a creatively delicious menu. So many options to choose from food and drink wise! I chose the Fire Tuna Poke bowl with everything that is supposed to come on it and I was not disappointed. If you enjoy spicy but still like to taste your food, this is just right. If I could change something, I wish I had asked for extra poke because there were so much pickled beets and rice left over. Also, the selection of lemonades and juice is so unique, I tried 3 different drinks while there. And the drinks are self serve, so you can sample or fill up your glass. I tried the tropical green tea, coconut water punch (might not be right name), and beet lemonade. Of the 3, the lemonade was my favorite. Definitely different and if you don't like beets, you might not be a fan. Price wise, I find it comparable to other eateries of this style. If what they're serving isn't your jam, you're probably going to be disappointed. My bowl plus drink (which I refilled 3 times) totaled around $15. And I felt great afterward! Really a perfect midday meal. This would be a great place to visit several times, because you can truly try something different each time! From salads to rice bowls to bone broth soup, there's definitely something for everyone.

    Mac n cheese.

    Typically, I purchase a meal from this establishment and I'm very pleased with my serve and the quality of the food. This time was different. I purchased a salad and the mixed lettuce was brown. My Brussel sprouts were so hard to the point I could not eat them. The Mac n cheese was dry. Note, this was a very expensive meal. It will be a while before I return.

    If you want to be greeted with a disgruntled employee, this is the place for you! Disorganization and unhappiness is the motto of this restaurant. Definitely have lots of issues. Almost painful to go thru the line...

    Chicken Cobb salad with Fruit punch and Spicy Chicken & Ancient Grains bowl with the Cayenne Cranberry Lemonade
    Barb R.

    Tried this new place a couple of days after it opened. They have a large selection of fresh veggies which I liked. I ordered the Chicken Cobb salad and hubby had the Spicy chicken & Ancient grains bowl. We both enjoyed what we had very much. I also had their fresh fruit punch with coconut water which I think will be my go to drink there. Will be going back soon to try their Broth bowls and protein plates. Thumbs up for now, hopefully the good service and cleanliness or the store will remain so it will become a favorite eating of many. Can't wait for the weather to stay nice to eat in the outdoor seating area. Update 3/18/19: second time time to eat here we tried the protein plates. I had the steak, hubby had grilled chicken. Both of us had the purple rice and grilled sweet potatoes. He tried the cucumber basil lemonade and liked it. Really liked this, steak was cooked nicely. Rice was put on the pla first and it could've been a little hotter as it cooled down by the time it got down the line and we sat down to eat.

    Ask for Tanja to be your server. She was awesome!!! We were excited to try Ugly Restaurant, as we…read morelove Turkish food. These folks did not disappoint. Tanja brought us some pita bread and carrot salad to start. That was complementary. We had a couple of cocktails from the bar, which were very good. We next had the Cigar Borek, which were little cheese rolls with a spicy tomato dip that was outstanding! We then ordered the beef doner wrap, which was just delicious! The beef they use for this is really tender and delicious. We cannot wait to return to this lovely Ugly Restaurant. :)

    When I see Yelp ratings of 4 1/2 stars on over 80 reviews, my expectations are high. This one let…read moreme down for sure. One of the reasons I love Mediterranean food is its use of spices and infused flavors. A complimentary carrot salad mixed with yogurt was served with warm pita bread. This was not good, frankly, and was the start of what would end up being an underwhelming experience. I ordered the mixed sampler platter for an appetizer. The only thing worth eating was the falafel and the cigar borek (fried breaded cheese). My entrée was the chicken shish kabobs that were accompanied by rice, a small chargrilled tomato, a chargrilled pepper and an onion salad. The chicken lack any kind of seasoning. Even salt would've help. This was probably the most bland Mediterranean food I've ever experienced. The presentation was grade A but the lack of flavor resulted in a Grade C. Even the baklava was bland. For $60 (including tip) I could've had a much more fulfilling meal.
