Yummy Bowl

I have been to this Yummy Bowl location several times. I haven't written my review before now due to health issues. I do alot of to-go sushi orders. This place though is so, so good. The staff is nice and constantly on top of your drink refills. You can either order sushi or do the Yummy Bowl. If you do the bowl right you have leftovers for a few meals. You go through a line and pack your bowl with noodles, veggies of your choice, egg, and meat or seafood. You get to choose what you want in the bowl or don't want in the bowl. At the end you season it the way you want, and add sauce which there is probably 20 different sauces. You give them the bowl and they Wok cook it right there and bring it to your table. You fill out the card with your table# and name. On the card you can get white, brown it more fried rice. I usually get brown or white, but on the side the rice. The yummy sauce is this creamy sauce which is delicious that I pour over my bowl. They do have an all you can eat bowl so if you finish your bowl you can go get more. That never happens. The sushi is amazing my favorite is dragon roll, spicy yellow tail and spicy Crab roll. The shrimp tempura with veggies is really good and lightly battered. The prices are very fair especially for the amount of food you get. Don't forget the sake. Kai the manager is always there and is so nice once you get to know him. It's one of my favorite places. It is very loud inside and there are a few TV but you can't hear them. Ha ha.

Had a fast little server that stayed up on the kids drinks and was polite I think they could have thought out the bar a little better, maybe lil more spacing but overall not bad

I was instantly sold when I first heard about this restaurant. You can create a bowl catered exactly to your tastes, add as little or as much of anything as you would like, and it's $11.99 at lunch time? Yes please!!The restaurant was busy when I arrived, but I was seated almost immediately. They have a nice sitting area with several booths on one wall and a bar on the opposite wall. The staff were very friendly and explained the process of ordering a bowl, as it was my first time at the restaurant. They have fresh uncooked ingredients laid out buffet-style, and you go down the line and add the ingredients that you want into your bowl. I had a bit of a hard time deciding what to add because they had lots of options and everything just looked so good! It took around 10 minutes for my bowl to come out cooked, and it was delicious--especially with the Yum-Yum sauce!! I'm sure the other items on the menu are tasty as well, but I have a feeling I'll stick to the bowls for some time. I'm already looking forward to coming back and creating a new combo for my next bowl :)

I had never been to this style of hibachi (is it even hibachi?) restaurant before, and was a little intimidated by the process. But once we figured it out, we had such a fun experience! We waited in line for around 15 minutes to build our bowls, but once we handed them off they were back at our table within 10 minutes. For us, half of the fun was watching others pile their bowls recklessly high and try not to dump them. The food was great! I was pretty surprised at how well my bowl turned out. Of course, that's pretty much up to you and your culinary intuition. And it was relatively inexpensive, especially considering the leftovers you will have! They will bring you a takeout box without even asking, because let's be honest, your eyes were bigger than your stomach. We would definitely come again and try our hand at a new creation.

This is my first time visiting this particular chain of restaurants but I have been to other build-your-bowl type establishments before. It is the same process. The instructions are well laid out with signage and suggestions. I tried coming to this location before right after 12 noon on a Friday and they were too crowded for me. Today I arrived at 11:35 am and it was much better but the dining room was still 80% full. People must really like the concept and the fresh ingredients. I selected beef, pork, sausage, fish, lobster and shrimp with fried rice. I selected onions, string beans, and carrots for my veggies with teriyaki sauce. I loved that they have the ever popular McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning along with traditional seasonings such as powdered onions and garlic powder. Everything was well cooked and super delicious.I can see why people like to come here. It's fun building different combinations of food to be cooked together. I've already selected my ingredients in my mind for my next visit. I can't wait to perfect my creation. The music choice of 50s hits was different and interesting. There is plenty of parking available in the large shared lot.

I just love their miso soup. Always consistent in taste. Love making my bowl and always have leftovers. And the sushi is good. Always crowded during lunch but you can't bet the price

We love coming to this place! The wait staff is always very good and happy. Great food with lots of fresh veggies and meat and many sauces combinations! Can't wait to come back!

I have been to Yummy Bowl twice for lunch. I am just not impressed. It's about $12 for lunch and that is before you add a drink, tax and tip. I did the create your own bowl. They give you a bowl to go to the buffet, you collect the ingredients you want in your finished bowl. You give them the bowl and they cook your items all together. After your bowl is cooked they bring it to you. I have not had good luck with mixing the sauces. My bowls have been pretty bland. I know that is my fault but I wish I they did the sauce differently. I have not had any problems with the service. Since I have never ordered off the menu. I know this place is really busy during lunch but I don't think I will go back.

We came at a very busy time! Seated pretty quickly and then we got our cards to mark our name and table as well as type of rice. Got our drink order in and got in the very long line. I piled up the veggies a little and then topped with shrimp and scallops. I chose the Mongolian sauce and dragon sauce. Pretty loud atmosphere, but great service. Kept our drinks filled and asked how we were frequently.

This is the first time I have been to a Mongolian cuisine and was quite surprised at the food type. I didn't know Mongolian food included stir fry. They have many vegetarian options and some vegan options too. They don't have too many sauce options like the Flat Top Grill in Northern Indiana but just enough. Their service is good. The only thing was that they did not explain how the place works and we just knew it because one of our colleagues had been there before. The ambience is soft and average loud. When you go to this restaurant, they will bring your bowls and a card to fill in some food options along with restrictions if any. There are pens available on the desk for you to write the card with your name, table number and restrictions. Then you take the bowl with you and go to the buffet location and fill the bowl with your choices. Then choose sauces with small black cups and provide them to the cook. The kitchen is visible from where you sit. There are multiple cooks stir frying the food. I don't think they cook vegetarian food in a wok like other stir fry places. I didn't see any wok. They are located on S. Raceway road and have plenty of parking spaces available. This is a family friendly restaurant and a business casual restaurant. They do dine in and I assume carry out too.
