Food took a while to come out and only one dish at a time. For our family of 6, that meant that most people's food would be cold if you're waiting for everyone to be served before you eat. While waiting for the food I was mesmerized by the sweets being made on the TV. Only thing I would change is I would recommend they get a heated space for dishes to stay warm while waiting for others to be made. No one felt comfortable eating while others were still waiting for their food.

There is *so much* original art. On the way to the bathrooms, you can see some lovely sketches of cats and chalk art on the walls. My favorite art piece is three lucky cats holding up a colorful fish; it makes me smile so much. The location: From the outside, it looks like it would be a counter service fast food place, but don't let that fool you! Teriyaki Bowl shares a parking lot with the Starbucks and Game Stop. It can be a little tight, but we've never had a problem finding parking. The food/drink: - Thai tea - sweet and refreshing. You can order with boba if you like, but just ice was good for me! - Eggplant lover stir fry - this past trip to Teriyaki Bowl, there was a special that featured eggplant. I have a weakness for eggplant and this did not disappoint. The sauce was flavorful and the eggplant was perfectly cooked. I had a choice of protein, so chose tofu which is cooked so it's beautiful on the outside and creamy on the inside. And y'know, white rice isn't anything special often, but something about the white rice was perfect for what I was craving. It was truly perfect. - Ube cheesecake - taken to go, the cheesecake was swoon worthy. It was a perfect portion. Highly recommend. ***I had a 3 spice level on my first visit. I'm not a slouch (I don't think?) when it comes to spice, but 3 for me was just on the edge of discomfort. A 2 spice level was *perfect.* Don't be afraid to be humble because they are SERIOUS about their spice. The service: Lovely. It's very clear that Teriyaki Bowl is a popular Marquette staple, but that only enhanced how impressed I was that we got personal attention. Everyone we interacted with was cheerful, kind, and welcoming. Next time: I need to get something with noodles. I had a chow mein before and loved it, they're a must have.

Nang and her husband are absolute gems (she does the cooking, he takes the orders and serves with a smile!). They learned the recipes and techniques from Aoy, the OG, and they still do it just as great. I had the grilled orange chicken, wontons, and hot and sour soup (absolutely to die for, my favorite spicy soup for kicking a cold). The food was piping hot, huge portions, great taste and flavor, and I had a great time learning about the business in its new hands! The building is exactly the same as it's always been--a homey ambiance, small counter for ordering with a few stools for the patiently waiting customers, to-go meal supplies like cutlery and napkins, and local business cards hung by the door promoting the other hard workers in this little Yooper town. Rice Paddy is the gem of Marquette and I have a feeling it always will be. (Pro tip: grab an order of Rice Paddy and head over to the Wooden Nickel for a beverage with your meal or park at Presque Isle for a picnic!)

Our servers were attentive and helpful, however, we had to wait for almost an hour for the food to arrive given their adequately staff. Hubby ordered the Den burger with burger and I had the shrimp ragotoni. I enjoyed the homemade pasta but the entree was a bit heavy with the cream sauce but it does have great flavors. Love they have KBC beers on tap and the blueberry ale was very refreshing. Overall, this is a solid choice in downtown Houghton with lakeside view and good menu options. Do keep in mind that prices are a bit high given it's in the UP. Also, you pay extra for protein in pasta entrees as well as bread in appetizers that's usually included.

The server told us the specials for the day, and I remember there being a LOT - almost as much as what was on the regular menu! We almost got the chicken wings special, but we ordered the burrata caprese appetizer and added prosciutto for $4. It was good! For entrees, I ordered the duck breast, which seems to be a staple item from here. I ordered it medium rare and it was definitely medium at best, but still tender. It is not a huge portion, and I would've like the skin crispier, but the meat itself had great flavor. It sits on a bed of parsnip puree with a blood orange reduction (a little too sweet and too much of it on the plate for me) and sauteed spinach. It left me just satisfied enough, but still a bit hungry. My fiancé got the flank steak, which was probably around 8 oz but the menu doesn't list it, with french fries and some sauteed vegetables. He said he was actually pleased with the type, portion, and cook on the vegetables. The french fries are that "old-fashioned" style, which I really like! And the chimichurri sauce was fresh and flavorful. The service was mid - sometimes it was fairly quick and attentive, other times we felt like we were waiting a long time to be tended to. For a more local, seasonal, "farm-to-table"-esque meal, this is probably the closest you will get in Houghton. The front desk at our hotel said she heard this restaurant was pricey/expensive, but I thought it was pretty fair!
