Abunai seemed like a good value for the price, but not when you see how much rice they use as filler. The food was good and would be 4 stars if they balanced out the toppings and rice.
I ordered through Grubhub and picked up in person. Pleasantly, the prices on the Abunai website are the same as on Grubhub.
I got two build-you-own bowls. Abunai offers two sizes: small (16oz, $8) and regular (32oz, $10) and a selection of bases, proteins, veggies, sauces, and toppings. It's not clear what you are getting more of for the regular bowl; you would think more toppings, but it just felt like more rice. I ordered two regular bowls, both with two bases (sushi rice and spring salad mix), one with ahi tuna (+$3) and one with salmon (+$3), and various other free toppings like cucumbers, onion, carrots, seaweed, edamame, etc.
When I got the bowls, they were hefty and looked great with all the toppings. The color, flavors, and freshness of the toppings were all good. The problem was in the base. The bases were not half-and-half, as you would expect; they were 90% rice with a small amount of salad. It was truly a ridiculous amount of rice. Eating normally, you would finish all your toppings and have half the rice left over; we did. read more
