Looking for a budget friendly , casual and healthy spot for quick lunch and dinner? This is the place. 1 flat price, pick out the fresh ingredients and sauce you want, give your tray to the cook, and they will do the rest. It's unlimited. As long as you can finish it all. They will charge you by the lb for any leftovers. They have several TVs on walls, they are not very big, do have it covered on each side of wall for sports watching. It's delicious and healthy, and cheaper than American fast food. See pictures for food pricing and charges for alcohol. Definitely recommend. read more

So... I think this is the first time where I thought the photos do the restaurant a little more justice ... if that makes sense Went with a large family for dinner on Thursday evening and in comparison to other AYCE around the area, I felt that it was lacking choices and was at mediocre freshness for $20/person. An employee was refilling the bowl ingredients and there's just large tubs of pre-prepped ingredients in a fridge. I get it - prep takes the longest when cooking a meal sometimes but veggies were dried out and meats were starting to get slimy. They did have a decent selection of sushi to complement the bowls but they had a bit too much rice to fish ratio for my liking. Ample parking, super friendly staff, and tables were clean. I'd say give it a try yourself but I'd probably go elsewhere next time to try a new spot. read more

Create your own yummy bowl! It is fun to have a Mongolian restaurant back in MoCo. We dined in on a Sunday for lunch. The AYCE cost $19 and 18% gratuity was added for our larger party. You are able to walk through a buffet line and select the vegetables, meat, and sauces for your bowl. They also offer a sushi and appetizer station which was fun. I will be sure to add more sauce to my bowl if I return! Adding yum yum sauce on the side was tasty. In a busy shopping center but plenty of free parking! read more

Been here a few times by myself and with my kids, we can always find something or a mix of something that they like. You can get all different types of levels of spice, I'm pretty consistent at making myself sweat. Every time we've walked in. We've been greeted with a smile and quickly seated and food prepared quickly and properly also. Quiet atmosphere right now they have the World Cup on which is great. So I can eat some delicious food and watch some great sports! I'm sure I'll be back again, and again, and again. read more

Yummy Bowl - Shrimp, chicken, egg & ALL THE SPICES w/ veggies - Mongolian Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Came here with 2 friends, for lunch on Saturday. It's in a strip mall and bigger inside, than I expected. You get to pick from soup and some cooked food (like dumplings/wontons/wings, etc) before you pick the items you want in your bowl. It was kind of weird to put the raw meats on top of your veggies/toppings but you put everything in a bowl and hand it to cooks in the kitchen. They will prepare it and a server brings your bowl over to your table. The server explained the process (since it was our first time there) and he was nice and attentive. The price really can't be beat either, AYCE for lunch is very cheap. I'm a big eater and couldn't eat more than one big bowl. read more

Yummy Bowl - Mongolian Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

It's only been a month since our last visit, but I see the restaurant has gone from single bowl to AYCE and increased the price of lunch from $12.99 to $15.99 and dinner from $14.99 to $18.99. We came before 3:30 pm today and grabbed the lunch price. At $15.99, I still think it's a good value. For lunch now as part of the AYCE there's a salad and fruit bar, three different soups, a small selection of sushi and, for dessert, small cake squares and ice cream. (The sushi was meh. It's possible it had been out since earlier at lunch, it was pretty dry. The regular menu sushi I had last time was good and a reasonable price.) The hot and sour soup was more than decent and the fruit was fresh and delicious. The service today was great. The staff made sure our water glasses were filled and that the used plates were removed pretty quickly. I'll be back. read more

We've been coming to Yummy Bowl since they first opened, and honestly, we were so excited to finally have a place like this in the area after the Bethesda location closed years ago. The food is consistently great -- I usually do the one-bowl option with noodles instead of rice (sometimes paying extra, which I didn't mind because of dietary reasons). But during my most recent visit, the experience was just... uncomfortable. They've taken away the single bowl option for dine-in and now only do all-you-can-eat unless you order to-go. That was fine with me -- I just opted for to-go so I could still enjoy it at home. The issue was with our server. From the start, he hovered way too much, to the point that it made us anxious. While I was picking out my ingredients, he interrupted me multiple times with random questions and comments, and even came back to my friend to reconfirm her sushi order after he had already written it down. We asked for a minute to decide on things, and he was literally just standing there, watching. It felt intrusive and uncomfortable instead of helpful. Then, once we finally got our food and sat down, he disappeared. The sushi came out without the sauce we had ordered, and we had to flag him down just to get the check. So in the beginning, it felt like he was overbearing, and then when we actually needed something, he was nowhere to be found. The food is still excellent -- that part hasn't changed. But the service really killed the vibe this time. It'll probably be a while before we come back, and if we do, we'd definitely ask for a different server. read more

Firs time here and it's clearly a value thing, as most buffets are. For less than $20, you can fill up as much as you want. They kept the sushi and fried appetizer buffet fairly well stocked. Mostly standard items but decent selection of different rolls. I thought the veggie quality and selection was really good. Protein selection was great, with a lot of different red meat, chicken, and seafood options. However, I didn't find the quality to be good. All of the meats were terribly overcooked, dried out, and tough. They should consider velveting the meats, which would require some changes to the kitchen. Tons of spices to season your bowl, but almost all the sauces catered to American palates (all sweet sauces). Doubt I would return unless I knew the meat quality was better read more

Came back to say that it's officially AYCE now! $15.99 for lunch and $18.99 for dinner :D I still feel that one bowl is enough, but for those that want more; here you go! The quality is still SUPERB and now you can add salad and soup to the mix. Bring your family, friends, and anyone who would enjoy a bowl of happiness. read more

Heard about this place through a friend, so I stopped by to check it out. They were running a sushi special for $9.99 for any specialty roll so I got the spider man roll. It was not good at all. The seaweed was very stringy, almost like when you get a piece of hair in your food and youre pulling it out. But the real star here is the DIY stir fry/hibachi bowls. There are cards at your table for you to check what you want your base to be (fried rice/white rice) and then you go to the buffet bar and put whatever ingredients you want to go in your bowl. They have noodles, veggies, and various meats. They also have different seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, steak seasoning etc) and lastly they have an array of sauces (teriyaki, general tso, yum yum, schezuan, etc) for you to choose. Once that's done, you hand your bowl and card to the guys on the grill and they'll bring your cooked bowl to you. It's all you can eat but one bowl satisfied me. They also have a buffet bar with salads and desserts. And in case you don't want sushi or stir fry, they have seafood boils as well. A little something for everyone. The environment is super casual, which was okay but on a Sunday night, it was very loud and rambunctious which made my dining experience not the best. I'd definitely come back more during the lunch hour when there aren't as many kids running around. Overall 3.5 stars. read more

The first time I had a Mongolian bowl was when I was in college. That was a very long time ago. I haven't seen anything like it in this area until now. The location used to be Bamboo Buffet and they have done a great job of opening it up with their own decor. It was a little confusing when we were handed a card to select our rice order. For the newbie, you just choose what type of rice you want so it will be added to your bowl later. You can also order no rice. I did not know that until the server came back to collect our cards and to give us an empty bowl. When I didn't want rice, she crossed out my selection and wrote "No Rice." on the card under special request (see photo). So I don't keep you in suspense, they ended up giving me rice. Oh well. Our next step was to go up to the buffet and pile our bowl as high as possible. If you didn't want rice, here is your opportunity to get noodles instead. Next in the buffet line were some veggies. This included onions, cilantro, green onion, mushrooms, bean sprouts, green beans, and broccoli. Then came the seafood items such as octopus, mussels, shrimp, scallops, imitation crab meat, and two types of fish - a white fish and salmon. After the seafood items, you have pork, chicken, and steak. We were again unsure what to do after this. We saw some sauces, so we ladled some of the sauces directly onto the bowl. After doing that, we realized that some people put sauces in small containers. Were the sauces for later or part of the stir fry? Maybe both? Side note: The lady behind me scooped out every sauce that was available into the small disposable single-use containers. If you've read any of my reviews, I think disposable single-use items are so harmful to the environment. I would love it if restaurants used re-usable containers. One of the chefs did ask me what sauces did I pour on my bowl. I'm not sure why he asked. Maybe because all the other customer bowls are being prepared on the same element and they wanted to keep some perhaps spicy sauces away from others? Well, I had my doubts about how this bowl was going to be cooked. I mean, I piled meat on top of seafood. I know seafood takes less time to cook than red meat. I really should have stood and watched the chefs cook my bowl to see if they separated out the ingredients. The final results were brought to our table by our server. To my surprise, they got some of it right. The small shrimp and scallops came out just right. The octopus was overcooked and rubbery. The steak and salmon were too well done. I liked that some items had a bit of char on them. Overall, it was good. We were also told that ice cream was included. I walk up to the freezer to find only three choices of your typical vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate in a child size cup. All had the label of "flavored." I really shouldn't have taken one but I did knowing I was only getting flavored strawberry and not real strawberry ice cream. LOL. For the price of a bowl, it was plenty for leftovers. Maybe it was the fried rice that I didn't want was added to the bowl. LOL. read more

Mongolian barbecue is back! It's not just back, it's back in style! Yummy Bowl has figured out to do Mongolian barbecue right. It's super clean, high quality, and also relaxing. Gone are the days where you had to push in to get your food cooked and then awkwardly stand around hoping you got the food back. You start here by sitting at a table and filling out a card with your name and preferred type of rice. You give the card to them so they can bring your bowl back once it's cooked. Then you add all the ingredients, and they have some good stuff here! The noodles are delicious (go for the double carbs it's worth it) and they have a huge variety of vegetables. They have every type of meat, poultry, and seafood you could imagine. I filled up on shrimp, mussels, scallops, and salmon. Wow. Again, everything is super clean and neat. The food is fresh and high quality. You also get to choose between over 12 types of sauce. They have a sign that explains the flavor profiles of each sauce and they even have little spoons so you can sample the sauces! All of this quality is choice is only $15 for dinner, and you can get your second bowl for another $5. Looking forward to coming again! read more

Yummy Bowl - My Mongolian barbecue bowl with scallops, shrimp, and salmon. - Mongolian Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I searched for new restaurants in the area and Yummy Bowl popped up, so I picked it to have a weekday lunch with an old coworker. In a plaza with lots of free parking and seating, but only a handful of people during the whole time we were there. Ambiance was ok, casual place for a quick lunch or dinner, probably would've been better if the cooking area was in the middle so you can see your food being cooked while seated. Place was clean and ingredients were fresh. Like many others said, not a lot of Mongolian grill places around and I too remember the one that closed in Bethesda. 4/5* for casual ambiance for what it is and meant to be. Service was great, everyone was very nice and explained the options clearly. 5/5* Build your own bowl by filling it up and having them cook on their big round grill. Food was fresh, although I wish noodles weren't part of the bowl space and instead was an option to replace rice - I love udon and lo mein, but that meant less space for veggies and meat. I see photos from others and they did a great job piling up the meat! I added some seasoning and sauce and it tasted a bit salty since they do salt it, so I would recommend going light and even with the sauce, you can always add more later after your bowl has been cooked. My old coworker loved it and had never been to a Mongolian grill place and said he'll definitely go back! Food 4/5* Overall I would give it 4.5/5* for the casual place it is and value if you really pile on the meat, but I'll round up to 5! read more

I've been thinking about this place since my first visit and I can't wait to go back. We visited on 1/20 which was a holiday so they only offered dinner prices. The menu is includes apps, ramen, sushi, and much more. We came for the star of the show - the yummy bowl experience. Once you sit down, you are asked if you would like to participate and are given a card and bowl. From there, you include your name, table number, and the type of rice you would like. Then you take your bowl to the assembly like buffet. You fill your bowl with whateverrr you want. The options are limitless. You have noodles, fruits, vegetables, proteins, etc. Then you move on to season your bowl and choose the sauces you'd like to include. From there, you hand it over to the chef to cook and they'll bring you the finished product. My bowl was soooo good! Now, the only thing I that gagged me was how they handle to-go. I was confused and thought I misheard. My mom ended up going and asked to clarify. Your bowl is around $15. You can take your first bowl to go for free. If you want a second bowl, I believe it is an extra $4 to eat in and you cannot take your second bowl to-go under any circumstances. So if you're like me and it's your first time, you don't know if you're going to like it until you try it. If you do, enjoy a bite or two, box it up and get back in line! The pictures of the bowl look small but I promise, they're filling. And I'm greedy so take my word for it. I also ordered the seaweed salad and calamari. As you can see from the picture, the calamari was cooked extremely hard but the sauce helped me get through. We had a good time though. read more

Food: You make it yourself so you better like it. They had all the vegetables you could want, bamboo roots, baby corn, broccoli, you name it, and they were changing out the containers to make sure they were fresh. All types of protein to choose from too, tofu, scallops, shrimp, chicken, and good cuts of steak. Service: so nice and friendly. And fun. It was someone's birthday so they announced it over the intercom and everyone in the restaurant joined in, in the celebration. Ambiance: clean, normal, typical for a hibachi style place. It's perfect for large groups of people. I remember going to places like this when I was a kid. A great place to take children. read more

Yummy Bowl - Make it yourself bowls - Mongolian Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

If you grew up going to Mongolian BBQ in downtown Bethesda and have a strong sense of nostalgia, this is a place you should try. Yummy Bowl has a very similar, if not the same concept, where you fill your bowl with starches, proteins, and veggies, and top your bowl with a mix of spices and sauces before handing it off to the grill. There is a wide selection of choices for starches, proteins, and veggies that you can add to your bowl, and they all appear fresh. The food stations appear clean and neatly organized which in my opinion is extremely important given that raw protein is present. Because you can choose what flavors to go with, I suspect there is something for everyone. I certainly had a great time choosing what to put in my bowl, and it was delicious (insert chef's kiss emoji). If I were more hungry, I would've gone back for another bowl. There is also a menu you can order off of, some of which includes beautifully presented sushi. You can also choose to add rice in your bowl or on the side, or neither, and just stick to the noodles like I did at the food bar when making my bowl. I think this is a very fine establishment that I look forward to coming back to. At other Mongolian bbq like restaurants (as well as the original in Bethesda), they served tortillas which was a nice alternative for people who maybe wanted to put their bowl into a wrap. I would love to see this incorporated, and think that it would be especially great for the children who may prefer to pickup their food and eat it. I would also love, and I mean LOVE, to see some kind of a peanut sauce added to the sauce selection. While their sauce options are good, a peanut based sauce would be life changing. While I do not have any allergies, this should be something to consider so you can ask that your food be prepared separately and safely. I look forward to my next visit to Yummy Bowl, and hope you give it a try if you haven't already! read more

We were greeted as soon as we entered and sat down immediately. Our server quickly explained how to fill out the cards to get bowls and me and my friend stood up and got our food. The bowls were brought to your table and you were able to grab as many appetizers as you wanted. The food was decent, it wasn't bad but didnt really stick out to me either. The restaurant was clean and well laid out. Overall it was a good experience but not a place I would regularly go to either. The only negative was I wish things were explained a little more clearly about prices or what to do once the bowl was made. read more

This is located in the old Bamboo buffet off Viers Mill Road close to Little Caesars. It's similar to the old BD Mongolian Grill. You fill up your bowl as much as you can with the various ingredients - veggies, protein, starch, etc. Load that bowl up! Then you pick two sauces and give them to the cooks. Once they cook your bowl for you it will be delivered to your table. It's such a great price. $12.99 for lunch and $14.99 for dinner. If you want a second bowl, it's $4 extra- but you can't take that to go, has to be eaten at the restaurant. You can order white rice/brown rice/fried rice with the bowl, but it gets added inside your bowl, so I would opt to put it on the side. For sauces, I really enjoyed the Hibachi sauce and the Fresh Garlic Oil with parsley. Take your whole family and enjoy! read more

Finally! A Mongolian grill back in MoCo. I have gone 4 times in less than a month with different family members and friends. Everyone loved it and commented that they will be back. Each visit the service had been great. The place is clean. The ingredients station is fully stocked and very fresh with a lot of vegetables and protein choices. Besides the bowls, there is a whole sushi menu and appetizers. We have tried a couple of appetizers and always got the bowls. The bowls are reasonably priced 12.99 lunch or 14.99 dinner/weekend. You can pile as high as you want with the ingredients. It comes with white/fried/brown rice. I opted for on the side. No sharing. You can take the leftovers home if you only order one bowl. If you want a second bowl, it is only $4 more but you can not take either bowl home. I will be back... and frequently. Enjoy! read more

Soooooo good! I finally was able to go and swing by here. Basically $15 for one big a$$ bowl that you pack up yourself. So many choices of meat/seafood, and a lot of sauces to choose from too! They cook it really quick! Didn't get to try the sushi or other appetizers but the bbq style grilling of your food was good! It'll come with rice but if you want noodles and rice, don't forget to add noodles to your bowl. Service is very attentive even with a lot of people around. read more

Such a fun concept! For a set price you can fill a bowl with all your favorite fresh or frozen ingredients. Have it cooked to order then brought to your table. When seated, our server confirmed that we were doing the Mongolian BBQ hibachi option then explained the whole process to us. She took our drink orders, wrote our table number on a red ticket each, gave us bowls, then asked us to select our choice of rice and put our names on the ticket. She told us to fill the bowls as much as we want. She meant it! I thought my bowl was pretty full until I saw my husband's bowl. Next, you can choose from a wide selection of sauces. I chose the Mongolian BBQ (of course) with chili oil and my husband chose the curry with chili oil. We enjoyed both sauces but I thought the Mongolian BBQ sauce went really well with the ingredients. The food was great quality, service was really good, and flavors were delicious. All for $15 or less and we even had leftovers! Definitely will recommend this place to anyone and everyone! read more

Yummy Bowl recently opened in the shopping center next to Lotte on Veirs Mill Rd, and I was tempted to try because it brought me back to my UMD dining hall days. IYKYK! The location isn't where I would expect to find a Mongolian BBQ restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was clean and spacious. After being seated, you are given a card to fill out to choose a type of rice and a table number. Then you join the line to assemble your yummy bowl. There's an assortment of fresh veggies followed by meat, seasoning, and sauces. I would be cautious if you have food allergies because I'm not sure there was a good method to prevent cross-contamination. The bowl comes out steaming hot. Of course portions are within your control, but my bowl was more than enough to fill me up. And it was full of flavor! The seasonings available in addition to the sauce options make for a lot of tasty combinations. Our server was also very attentive and efficient. I'll be happy to go back to Yummy Bowl in the future! read more

The food was great. Whether you are dining in or take out, you get to choose your choice of rice, and then get to take your bowl to the line of fresh ingredients and build your bowl. There were plenty of protein choices from beef, chicken, chicken thigh, pork, imitation crab, squid, fish, etc. Choices of veggies like mushroom, onion, baby corn, zucchini, carrots, cabbage, etc. You can also add noodles too. After building your bowl, you can add your own seasonings/spices like lemon pepper, garlic salt, pepper, salt, onion powder, etc. Then you can add up to 2 sauces before handing your bowl to the chefs so they can cook it for you.

Being able to customize your food at spots, just like Chipotle, is always a fun time. Did you know there's a Mongolian Stir-Fry chain here in Rockville? Build your own bowl using a plethora of ingredients they provide (noodles or rice, protein, veggies), add some savory sauces & seasonings, and BOOM made to order meal with poppin' flavors. I came during the Lunch Special, and got Two Sushi Rolls for $9, along with a Stir-Fry Bowl for $13. Plenty of parking on the outside in the general shopping plaza. The establishment definitely gives me an older Asian restaurant vibes, and the service from the hosts was good as they explained how the stir-fry station process worked. If you're looking for a quick & casual spot to grab lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong with building your own Asian Stir Fry~ read more

It's ok for the price. The sushi offered on the buffet was not impressive and drink is not included. Everything on the appetizer buffet is fried and not particularly hot. The main course buffet is standard but pretty good. One item of caution - On the receipt, the "suggested" tip amount is calculated based on the taxed total. I don't know about you, but I do not tip on the tax amount, only pretax total. I don't care for that practice. read more

I will preface this by saying we LOVE(D) yummy bowl and dine there frequently w our kids (fam of 5). The food is great and before tonight and the SHADY employees, we'd give it 5 stars. So we just had a group of 30ish people at yummy bowl-rockville. Each family had their own check. **18% gratituty was added to every check (no issue with that). Yes it may be on the menu (that nobody looked at bc we all got the bowl meal). Our issue is that they briefly flashed the itemized receipt at us and then after we paid, they brought back the CC and ONE slip to sign. Nowhere to see the itemized details or "added gratuity " on a reciept while we calculated our tip. No reminder of"hey, gratuity was added already" (we will always tip a bit over the added gratuity). Multiple guests realized this when they got home. Same deal. No itemized receipt left w them. Thankfully, I took a pic of my signed slip for my records (below). Here's where it gets good (or bad?)...we called to speak w them bc this seemed totally calculated on the servers part bc how would the same thing happen to all 10+ smaller parties in our group? Kind you, all over the age if 25, most over 30 (not young teens). We asked for the manager, got the server, who then mentioned "my manager said"...no, you spoke to us after asking for the manager and acted like you WERE the manager. Finally got the "manager", Billy (female), but not sure she was the manager. Phone was being passed around, got randomly put on hold a few times. Super sketchy behavior. Oh and the suggested gratuity in the pic- it's calculated on the bill PLUS the auto 18%, so we tipped on the tip and tipped higher bc of that. We just want our (and our 30+ guests) additional tips back, as this was super sketchy and deceptive. All this to say- we are super disappointed bc we LOVED going to yummy bowl and now it's just a shady, icky feeling. ***Check your receipts and make sure they give you back your itemized receipt once you hand over the CC to pay, bc that's how they'll get you. *** Waiting on a callback tomorrow w a solution bc we are not all driving back to get a corrected receipt, as everyone lives 30-60+ min away from read more

Yummy Bowl - the only receipt that we got back after paying. Nowhere could we see the subtotal, the tax, or the gratuity that was already added. - Mongolian Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Yummy indeed! Samantha Brown, a TV travel host, always seeks out strip mall restaurants. I think she'd like this one. Turn left after you enter the strip, Waze didn't have the last 500 feet right. Obviously, plenty of parking. Interior is cutely decorated, with comfy booths. I have to mention the extremely cordial service up front. They cheerfully explain how the process works. You fill out a card with your choice of rice for the base and your table number. The bowl will be brought out when it's done. Then, you go to the back left and fill your bowl as you like, cafeteria style. Noodles, very fresh vegetables, seafood, and meats. Next stop, the sauce bar. A dozen different flavors, and you are encouraged to taste. I poured a bit from the ladle onto my little spoon, thus avoiding both contamination and a bunch of plastic waste. All good, I picked Vietnamese. You put the sauce in a little plastic cup so it can be added after cooking and not burn. Give the card and bowl to the chef, and as you return to your table, the magic happens on a huge round grill in the back. A few minutes later, your server brings it out and the Yummy happens! One bowl was enough to fill me up, but I hear a second is available at a lower price. My only quibble was the meats being a little chewy. Perhaps if the sliced it thinner and across the grain? So, tasty, filling, only $17.95 for dinner. A very pleasant and fun evening. I didn't try the sushi, but my friend had, and liked it. Fine choice for a casual meal. Solid 4 stars. read more

Big and casual ambiance with huge dining room. Good for groups. Came for a quick lunch and the service was very pleasant! My only concern is the cross contamination with the raw meat you build with your veggies before they cook it but other than that the Food was delicious! read more

Let me start by saying I would give them 10 stars if I could. The service was amazing, They were so kind and always asked if we needed anything. The dining area itself was nice and spacious so you're not cramped in there with other tables. Now the food, OH MAN THE FOOD. Quality was amazing for an AYCR venue. Their app selection was minimal but they all were great especially their crab Rangoon's! The stir fry was as good as you'll get anywhere else! It was so great in flavor and everything but I was so full from tasting all the sushi and apps haha. Definitely coming back next time and you can even take some to go for a cost! read more

I saw Yummy Bowl on Yelp and decided to try them. I went during lunch time, so the lunch options were still available. I was greeted by a waitress and promptly seated. Liyo was my waitress and she was great. She was attentive, friendly, and patient. She went over the menu with me and allowed me to ask questions. She went over the options for the Yummy Bowls (Deal A and Deal B). I opted for Deal B, which was Classic Stir Fry Yummy Bowl-Shrimp, as I only wanted shrimp as my protein. It didn't take long for my food to come out and when it did, everything was fresh and hot. Overall, I enjoyed my food; however, I deducted a star due to having a few shells on my shrimp. They just caught me by surprise as I was eating and were unpleasant. The restaurant appeared clean, plenty of staff and the prices were reasonable. If you're in the area, check them out! read more

AYCE!! :) Gotta give them the 5 stars with this change. Now you don't have to strategically build your bowl to pack in as many ingredients as possible. This also lets you try different combos of veggies, proteins, and sauces! Staff were friendly as always! Hopefully this sticks around, but this makes the experience way more fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend! read more

Update.. don't think I'll be going back there! So they changed their policy. Previously you got a small white bowl in which you could put whatever you could fit and they would make it for you with either white rice or fried rice. If you had left overs, which I normally always do, I could take it home. Now it's an all you can eat policy. So even though I made only 1 bowl I have to pay extra if I want to take my leftover food home. So I'm paying $15.99 for the bowl and then additional for the same food to take it home. I can understand if I had like 3 bowls, but that wasn't the case. It makes no sense! So they would rather toss the food than let you take it. I know some folks overdo it but I don't think it's fair charging extra on your first bowl. Also the food wasn't prepared well. Seafood was under and meats were overdone. Not a good experience at all. read more

The ayce was a good deal! Hibachi is pretty good and they have some additional sides and desserts too. Service was friendly
