    Me and my daughter really enjoyed this place! The service was great and we got our food quickly. I love all the bowl options. Veggies were fresh and there were a lot of meat options. The restaurant is spacious. We will definitely return!

    Went in on a Friday night and they were packed! There was a 15 minute wait but we stuck around. Waited out in the car because the were so many people there was no room To wait inside. Very lively! Once we were sat dropped off our empty bowls and we were on our way. Food came quick for how busy they were, it was super hot and very delicious. Food was cooked perfectly and there was a lot of it.

    I've so missed having the option of food cooked over a Mongolian grill. Since its opening in Louisville, Yummy Bowl has been on my food list. The restaurant was lively for a weeknight, but this didn't cause a wait for seating. Our server handed us a menu and when we chose to build our own bowl, we were given a card to write our name, table number, and special requests. I originally felt confident going up to build my bowl. This changed to feeling overwhelmed when I step up for the ingredients. So I started with a little of this and a little of that, then added a bit more. The meat selection is plentiful. I knew I'd pile on chicken and added in a few circles of sausage. I also loved that I could include up to two eggs. If you're comfortable with seasoning your meat and vegetables, there's a huge selection. Several sauces are available too - at least 2 are recommended, but I'm going to increase it to 3 next round. Prepped bowls are left for the cooks to grab and once prepped, the server uses the card to deliver it to the right table. Final bowl -- delicious!!!! One bowl was enough and I walked away so full. Service was attentive and helpful, both at the table and grill. Yummy Bowl is within a shopping strip so there's plenty of parking. Lunch and dinner options are available, plus takeout prices.

    What a great find! I have always loved a good Mongolian grill and I am enamored with Yummy Bowl. Our first visit was mid-afternoon on a Saturday, and our second was during the lunch hour on a weekday. Both times we were seated immediately and our service and food were excellent. Upon being seated, a card is provided to write your name, table number, and any special requests about your food preparation. There are two dining options, one in which you decide at the table which items you prefer in your bowl and it is prepared and brought to you. The other option is to go to the LARGE ingredient bar and add items to the bowl on your own and leave it with your card to be prepared and brought to your table (we chose this option and it was a knockout). The build-your-bowl bar is huge and has a large selection of meats, vegetables, eggs, and many different spices and sauces to add. There are even little cups to sample the sauces. The meat and veggies all appeared to be fresh, with no browning or off smells. I noticed that the bar was regularly restocked. What I liked most was that my food was cooked to perfection. My vegetables were not cooked to mush and the meat was not raw or overcooked. There are other items on the menu (wings, salads ramen, soup) but most folks seemed to be there for the Yummy Bar! Soft drinks, wine, and beer are available to drink. Yummy Bowl is located in a strip mall, so parking is plentiful. I predict that we will be regulars.

    This place is fantastic! Get a bowl, load it up and they put it on the grill. Super easy and customizable. The bowls you get are slightly smaller than the red bowls they bring your food out in. Which means don't feel bad about mounding the raw food up! It's almost as if it's an art. Service has always been great for us, constantly checking and refilling waters and bringing us any other cutlery we need. The decor is decent, clashing styles to some degree. Lots of warm colors and decor and then areas of cold colors and decor. It's not uninviting but can stand out if you are keen to seeing things like that. The food is great, you get plenty of it (we always take home leftovers) but they do have an all you can eat option if you can't get enough. Highly recommended!

    Great casual dinner or lunch spot with traditional Mongolian style bowls. You can fill a bowl with any veggies and meat you want then they cook it fresh so it's exactly what you like no modifications needed. Service was friendly and prompt. Located in shopping center so lots of parking. I will be back for the sushi for sure!

    The place is nice. There is an open grill so you can see your food cooked. This concept is great. You get a bowl and you load it up with whatever food you want from the bar and you can add whatever seasonings you want and they cook it for you and bring it to the table. It's so much food and it can be all you can eat for an additional $4. It's very affordable. We had 4 people dine in and ordered 2 things to go and only spent 105 with tax included.

    They have multiple veggie and some fruit options to build your bowl. They also have white rice, brown rice, and fried rice with egg as an option, along with udon and stir fried noodles. They have seasonings and sauces to choose from as well. They also have an appetizer menu w/ crab Rangoon, with a sushi menu. Drinks include Pepsi products, wine, and beer. The service was basic but polite. The ambiance is giving divey! My bowl was good and my sauces were distributed evenly through my bowl.

    Service was great! Went to the bar got my ingredients in the ratios I like. You know how you get Asian food sometimes and there's a bunch of filler (gigantic slabs of onions and what not)? Don't have to worry about that here... Perfection! You pick your ingredients, season it yourself, and pick your sauce. So, basically, I'd like to thank myself for the deliciousness of this dish... Seriously though, the food was delicious and the price was reasonable. Check them out!

    Food cooked over a Mongolian grill is phenomenal and Yummy Bowl located off Hurstbourne Rd opposite Carmax in East Louisville fits the bill. You make your own, so to speak, by selecting from a wide array of vegetables, greens, meats, seafood, noodles, rice and seasonings that you can sample before adding to your bowl. You hand your bowl over to a server and they bring the cooked food out to your table in about 5-10 minutes. Be sure to mound your selections high and even add an egg on the tray to be cooked and included. I'm already planning what to omit and what to include in my next visit, including fried rice on the side. There is seating galore and pricing is reasonable.

    This was my first time dining in a Mongolian grill. I usually order to go but in TN. This restaurant in in Louisville. My sister rants and raves about this place, wo she took me for my birthday. I was a little overwhelmed at the options initially but I went with what I felt would make a good bowl and made the right decision. It's like a buffet syle for ordering. You pick out everything you want in your bowl. From protein, veggies, sauces and seasonings. You put it all in your bowl and on your tray and they cook it. When my bowl came out, it was a little undercooked for my preference. I asked the waiter if it could be cooked a little longer and he said yes. My bowl was DELICIOUS!! The waiter gave us fortune cookies and a small Christmas gift. He was very nice. This was a great experience!

    When driving down Hurstbourne one day I noticed a new sign above this restaurant. It said "Yummy Bowl" and at first I was a bit dismissive. For about the last 8 years this location has been more or less a revolving door of restaurants that came on strong and didn't last. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical to write a review for the next place to occupy this space because of the lack of staying power....up until this point. Our first visit was AWE-SOME. Structurally, they completely re-did the inside. The bar that was a feature of the last 4 or 5 residents is gone to make room for seating. The kitchen is completely visible (one of the signature attributes of a Mongolian Barbecue), and there is plenty of seating without feeling crowded. The concept of the Mongolian Barbecue is a simple one: Choose your starch, get your bowl, and head on down the line. What you put in your collection bowl goes in your big red dinner bowl. Along the way there a fiscal ton of fresh vegetables, more starches (if you're in to that kind of thing) and the meats. Salmon, Beef, Chicken, Pork, and a few others. Customize it, 100%, to your liking. Love onions? Fill it up and hope for breath mints. Make your own seafood bowl with salmon and squid (eww) and a few other seafood options. The options are limited only to your imagination. There are a few seasonings to accent your meal, then choose your sauce(s). Lastly, sauce it to your delight. Hand it over and let the chefs do the cooking for you. About ten minutes later your food arrives, hot and delicious. You're provided a fork when you sit down. Chopsticks are available from your server on request. If you're not feeling adventurous or don't want to think too much much about what to pile into a bowl, there is a large selection of entrees on the menu, as well as a fresh sushi (and it looks SOOO good). There is not a single staff member not actively engaged in taking care of customers, cooking, or cleaning. These people are constantly on the go making sure everything is great. Ok, so everything above is from our first visit. We liked it so much we went back the following week. That being said copy/paste everything above and you've go our second visit (but I don't do that because if you made it this far, I'm a) impressed and 2) thankful. I think we've got a long-term restaurant in this space with Yummy Bowls. Visit for yourself. I think you'll agree.

    Great place! Nice selection of fresh ingredients to make a bowl. Waiter came to our table to check in with us on drinks a few times. Everyone was nice. The restaurant itself is nice and can seat patrons at tables or large booths. Highly recommend.

We got two that were huge and so delicious. I really wanted the Lemongrass Miso Soup but thought it was too hot outside for soup. Karli said give it a try anyway and I'm glad I did. Outside btw was not bad at all. Very cool setting with high top full bench patio with cool greenery surrounding it. The overhead fans made it extremely nice as well.

Favorite rolls: Mark's Roll, Happy Sunday, Texas Roll, Barbie's Favorite, Sakura Roll, and Midnight Roll but truthfully, you cannot go wrong. We heard the story of our favorite roll! The Mark's roll was named after a very kind soul that was a friend of the restaurant that sadly passed away. He loved spicy food and was the light of the room, so the fried jalalpeno and flaming plate make the perfect homage to him. The love and care Samurai has for their customers and the community is unmatched! Come cute with 15 people, or in your pajamas with your bestie. The atmosphere is very welcoming; casual but romantic still. Either way come ready to EAT!

The space was overall nice and it seems as though it could get pretty loud when you're already a large group sitting with a large group of people. I also noticed a lot of gnats flying, this is something that is common at restaurants obviously. But it became a bit annoying when one landed on my lip as I was talking and started flying over my food. I lost my appetite after that and decided to box my food up. Overall, the service is what made me give this place 5 stars! It seems like they have pretty good sushi from what my friends were saying but I wouldn't come for anything else.
