    Great spot for some Asian fusion! I actually tried this place because of the Too Good to Go app -- the bowl I picked up was huge and filled with lots of great food! Crispy chicken, sweet and sour eggplant, rice, spicy mashed potatoes, edamame, shredded carrot, mushrooms, pineapple, cabbage, corn, cucumber and radish, and some type of sesame seed sauce on top. Everything was quite tasty but my favorite was the sweet and sour eggplant! It is a little difficult to access this place (I made the mistake of swinging by on a Saturday night) but I would say it's worth checking out regardless. There are tables outside to sit and eat at. I also saw they offer other items such as milk tea -- I will be back to try it!

    Super cute wall decor!

    In the neighborhood helping my sister move the rest of her stuff, and when she asked me what I wanted to eat as a thank you for helping, this was the first and only place that came to mind! Been craving this place since the first time we happened upon it by happy accident (details below). We got our own make your own bowls this time. The portions are so generous that even after we stuffed our faces full, there was plenty leftover (yay!). Harry, Issac and the rest of the staff here are so friendly, patient and helpful! Definitely a must for me whenever I'm in town! I only wish we had something like this back in SGV! First discovered this yummy place through the Too Good To Go app/project, and am so thankful and grateful! The store is super cute, and the service is top notch (thanks Isaac)! Love the Asian flavors in all the protein and veggie options, which had this really fresh, healthy spin that just makes their bowls that much better! Their house cheesecakes (got both the matcha and lime) are light, fluffy and full of flavor! Highly, highly recommend!

    This is a review for the RICEMILL at the arrowhead mall. We attended the grand opening last Saturday after previously enjoying the downtown location. There was a large crowd with some nice give aways. As for the food it was very good as expected. We did the build your own bowls and despite the long line, the team got our order out quick. Food was hot, fresh and tasty. The biggest selling point besides taste is the large size of the bowls. One full build your own bowl can easily feed two people. Don't hesitate to try either of their Phoenix locations because you will not be disappointed. "FIMP" Food is my Passion

    Eggplant is so good here - look at how big that bowl is
    Vivian H.

    I was here about a month ago for a Yelp Elite event and loved the food, so today, while I was in the area, I picked up another bowl to have for dinner. And being that May is Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander month, seems almost apt to support Asian businesses. The place had one other customer ordering before me and then it was my turn. I absolutely love the eggplant they make here so I started with my base of white rice and then asked for the eggplant. The lady behind the counter was confused as that wasn't considered a protein but we talked it thru and she said I would just have to charge you as if it was a tofu bowl and I said sure ok. She, then piled on the eggplant (generous portion) and then I had a choice of a few more sides so opted for the cauliflower, enough mushrooms and zucchini. I then also had corn, edamame added and some pickled veggies. Added a little bit of scallion sauce and then topped it off with some crispy shallots. The bowl was about $12 and it's big enough for 2 portions! And every bite was delicious! They were also giving away free dessert, so I had one of the chocolate puddings! I also love their fountain milk tea here as it's not too sweet and about $3. Overall, with tax and tips, my meal came to under $20! I definitely like this place and the food is fresh and good. I do hope they can keep their doors open as they may depend on foot traffic and maybe when there are games and conferences in town. Parking can be a hassle in this area. Give this place a try, your tastebuds and your piggy bank won't regret it!

    I love coming here! They have awesome side choices to add into your bowls like smashed pumpkin, bbq cauliflower and spicy mashed potato!! I always do the BYOB, since I love all the toppings and this time I did half greens/brown rice, umami roast chicken with all of the above toppings and all of the cold toppings! DELICIOUS! I also ordered their house made milk tea which is a delicious treat! My husband ordered the Szechuan Mala steak bowl and really liked it. The lobby is bright and large, with lots of places to sit. There isn't convenient parking, so you'll have to figure that out. But it's definitely worth checking out! The people working are always very nice and helpful!

    Pro-tip: Parking can be tricky since it's a lot of of paid street parking and garage parking since it's in the middle of downtown. Highlights: Think chipotle, but make it Asian, light, healthier and refreshing. Absolutely loving this concept and would highly encourage people to try this place! I love their variety of base, proteins, sides, and sauces. I got a half noodle and half rice bowl with half steak and half shrimp and it was delicious! The milk tea is simply a must get. I traveled to Asia a lot and easily this milk, tea rivals so many of the ones I've had because of its strong tea flavor and it's not too sweet. Also, the interior is super cute and they even have some patio seating as well. Lowlights: I wish it was in a different location because I don't frequent downtown! It's a little pricey, but they really loaded up so you could even have some leftovers!

    Went here for Yelp Elite event and it was quick, & overall a nice experience with the brand new location opening of RICEMILL. Overall, I recommend this place if you need a healthy bowl. It may not be the best-tasting bowl ever, but not a bad choice for good food. walk-in Here are my takes: Food/Drinks: Got a chicken bowl with half and half chicken meat options. They were out of noodles, so I took rice as the base. Overall tastes good, fresh, and healthy.  The rice pudding (chocolate) one was not my favorite. In drinks, I took watermelon, strawberry lemonade that was not very sweet like in other places, but it was sweet enough for me not to finish it. Service: It's a Chipotle-type walk in line and build bowl model, so it was pretty quick. The staff was not slow, and they were serving the line pretty quickly. Hygiene: This is a brand new location, so everything felt new. The restaurant itself is a modern design interior, very bright, and feels very spacious with plenty of seating. Price: Reasonably priced for the quality of food and the bowl size I would not go here every day, but wouldn't mind being here for a healthy option of lunch option since it is right next to my office in downtown.

    The shrimp and steak looked amazing but I had to try the crispy chicken
    Sarah A.

    I walked here and feel like this is a restaurant downtown Phoenix needs. It's a healthier option to a quick bite AND you get way more than other similar concepts like chipotle. I love that they have proteins from steak, shrimp and even the popular original crispy chicken. I will say, the crispy chicken wasn't crispy but it was a very juicy chicken filled with flavor. I ordered the original Hong Kong crispy chicken bowl which came with a bed of rice, the crispy chicken, (I added in some thin sliced zucchini and cauliflower), it also came with carrots, edamame, cabbage, corn and we topped it off with a signature sauce. Girl.... I thought I was going to take some home and I devoured this bowl! HAHA! I also tried the OG Lemonade and added a bit of the strawberry lemonade to it. So refreshing!! The milk tea looked popular because it was almost out when I got there. I went back to try the vanilla rice pudding and wtf, I need this every night I crave a late night snack. So good, very thick and creamy texture. Loved it! They also played some popular kpop songs here and overall i recommend checking this place out!! PS- did you know they cater?

    I've ordered DoorDash from here many times and it's always hot and delicious. Decided to visit the store while in the area excited for something yummy and familiar, but it was really not that good. We went for Saturday lunch and the store was completely empty, there was a fly flying around and all the food is uncovered. I got my usual popcorn chicken protein, and it tasted like it was cooked hours ago and was super hard. Overall all the food was stale and did not taste fresh. One thing I will say is that their portions are always really good, they loaded up my bowl. I'll probably keep ordering DoorDash but won't visit the store again.

    Rice bowl with pork
    Anthony H.

    Food: 4/5 we had the rice bowl with pork it tasted amazing! Service: 5/5 the owner was so nice to me and my fiancée she even let our little k9 Douglas in really made our experience that much better Ambiance: 5/5 let me tell you if you're in the area late night bar hopping this is perfect drinking food outside tables and inside clean and spacious

    Build your own bowl with Korean fried chicken
    Denise M.

    We needed a place to grab lunch near the convention center and this place was close. You just go down the line and see what you want in your bowl kind of Subway style. There's a lot of Korean choices and while there isn't a lot on the actual line to choose what they do have is really delicious. My son got some kind of Korean garlic chicken bowl, and I made my own bowl with crispy fried chicken, brown rice, zucchini, carrots, and a really delicious caramelized scallion sauce. The choices are limited, but the food is good and the price was okay, from about $11 to $15. They have Pepsi products and not Coke, and that didn't make me happy, but I'm sure it'll make some people happy.

    Nicole R.

    I ordered DoorDash from Ricemill and got an incredible bowl!! I did the make your own bowl with a noodle and green base, umami roast chicken for my protein, and tons of toppings! The sweet and sour eggplant in particular is delicious!! Everything is so flavorful and the portion is good for the price. I haven't gone into the restaurant in person yet since I hate dealing with downtown parking, but I would like to eventually. They also have rice pudding and milk tea that I'll have to try another time.

    The Hong Kong Crispy Chicken and added zucchini to it
    Adriana R.

    The place itself is super open and clean and service is friendly. It's in downtown near the convention center and other restaurants but little tucked away next to Taco Bell cantina. We ordered the Hong Kong crispy chicken bowl. Size of the bowl is decent but heavy on the base which is rice, noodles or greens. The sauce itself was delicious but the "crispy" chicken wasn't crispy at all. I was expecting a little bit of a crunch, however the meat itself was juicy. I would come back again and maybe try their steak instead.

I've enjoyed the vegan offerings at CK for years without issue, but this recent event has made me question whether I'll be returning. On a recent visit, my guy and I ordered the vegan potstickers to start, and also each ordered a cocktail and entree. As we finished sharing the potstickers, my throat and mouth started to itch and tingle, an indicator that I'd been exposed to something I'm allergic to. Our server came by and we asked if there are any nuts in the potstickers, and he quickly said that yes he's pretty sure there are. Then he asked if there was an allergy, to which I replied yes, I'm allergic to walnuts. He went to the kitchen and came back to say their allergen chart indicates tree nuts, but he'd have to ask the chef which one specifically. The server left again and was gone for at least 5 minutes at this time... Since we needed resolve quickly, my boyfriend left our table and went down the street to get me Benadryl. While the bf was gone, the server came back and said he couldn't find any Benadryl in the emergency kit, and asked how I was doing. I was quite uncomfortable, but trying to be patient waiting for Benadryl to arrive. Not sure what else was to be done in that moment. While I was hanging out alone waiting on my bf to return, the manger eventually came over and checked on me. He said he would take the potstickers off the bill. Gee, thanks? In hindsight, paying nearly $100 for the rest of the meal felt like a gut punch when I couldn't really enjoy anything and my guy had to physically leave in the middle of the meal to fix an issue they caused with negligence. Menu screenshot attached is from 5/18, which is about 2 weeks after my incident, so I'm assuming CK has not yet fixed their menus.

When we walked in it had a very fishy smell, so it kind of made us second guess our choice. But we went for it anyhow. The greeter/server was very pleasant and sat us. It was very clean inside with ample space between seat. We browsed through the menu and started with our usual edamame and pot stickers. The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had. The musubi was giant to say the least, it was good, but offered a bit too much rice. Overall the food and service was great and we were very happy that we ended up here!

    On a Sunday evening, after checking out the Desert Botanical Garden, I was looking for some food in…read morethe area. I came across Zu Izakaya and it's great reviews as one of the options. I love Japanese food so my decision was made. I drove over and parked in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (3.5/5): I've been to Japan and there are plenty of izakayas there. Think of them as small bars which often serve solid food. Zu fits that bit. It's a relatively small restaurant, probably seats about 30 people. and it's pretty no frills for a Japanese spot. I was seated at a booth in the corner of the restaurant. They have free WiFi which is always a good touch. Service (3/5): Service was friendly, though a bit inconsistent. My waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. The type of service where you have to flag them down to get what you want and to close out. Drinks (4/5): Zu has a nice menu of Japanese and Korean beverages, including sake, soju, Japanese beer, and more. With that being said, I just had an iced green tea. Food (4/5): I got a nice variety. I went with the Japanese sausage off of the grill menu, the OBI mayo roll off of the sushi menu, and the cheese corn off of the appetizer menu. Let's start with the sausage. It's a small item, two small sausages, but absolutely delicious. The sausage was bursting with flavor and basted in a sweet sauce. Minus the portion size, perfection. The cheese corn also hit the spot, but the execution was off. The corn is served on a hot platter, and unfortunately some of the corn on the edges was badly burnt. The type of situation where they should start over. Which they didn't. Lastly, the OBI mayo roll is essentially a California roll with marinated warm shrimp on top in a mayo sauce. I didn't love the hot and cold combo (shrimp and sushi), but outside of the temperature, it was a delicious roll. All in all, a very food meal. My only gripe with Japanese food is that it can get expensive quick. Given that Zu is in Tempe, I was hoping that prices would be a little cheaper. With that being said, they do have a solid happy hour (and reverse happy hour) with both food and drink specials. Next time I stop by, I'd like to check out some of their Korean options. I focused on the Japanese stuff this time (which makes the majority of the menu). Next time around, the bulgogi is calling my name!

Now for the reason for the two stars...the crispy rice. The bites are soooo big I had to cut them in half in order to eat it (good thing) because when I broke the second one in half; I found a black HAIR about the same length of a finger cooked in the rise (I'm blonde by the way). I was shocked and hate complaining. I wasn't going to say anything as I lost my appetite. My friend who was dinning with me, said something politely. The waiter said okay I'll get you another one and ran away with the plate before we got a chance to said we didn't want another one. We saw him show the manager and she okayed him to make another. I was shocked the manager or waiter didn't apologize, wasn't shocked by it, acted normal like nothing was wrong. For this reason I will not be returning. Again my other friend had a great experience and I had a bad one, so 50/50 shot. I know we are human and mistakes happen. It was the way it was handled that drop the rating.
