I hope they are only temporarily closed because I'd lose one of my favorite places for lunch. Their bowls are amazing every time! Staff is always helpful, generous with portions, and very friendly. Please open back up!

When people refer to this place as the "chinese chipotle" they are right. I always order all the topping because they are all delicious, the proteins they offer are all spot on, my personal favorites are the duck and the pork belly, I have a hard time choosing between the two and often get half and half. Service is fast and friendly and reliable. Love it. Only thing I could ever say negatively is that the ginger rice a little too gingery for me, and I'm a ginger lover, but thats just my preference! If youre still thinking about it. just do it. order a bowl.

Where's the meat!? I placed my order through Yelp and picked it up. I ordered duck and brisket. They give you plenty of rice and toppings, but only thin slices of the proteins. Actually I think they pack the bowl with a lot of toppings to hide how stingy they are with the meats. I was still hungry. Was not satisfying at all. I miss you, Cross Roast. :(

It's one of those foods that don't make you feel disgusting after you finish it, but is delicious and satisfying. Also, there's nothing like it around, so I definitely recommend trying it atleast once!

I should've written this after the first time I had their bowl... I wanted to keep this little gem to myself but I don't ever want them to close as many local shops have closed due to covid The world needs to know about this place! It's sooo freakin delicious! The meats, whichever one you get, is so tender and flavorful. I've had duck, brisket and pork and they were all so good! The sides and toppings compliment the bowl so much. I usually get ponzu and spicy mayo on top and get chili oil and on the side, UGH, so delicious. They are so generous on everything they put in it too! I usually have it for lunch AND dinner, haha. The staff are so nice and friendly. Stay open forever please!

Overall rating = 4.99/5Went today (Wed) and arrived around 2 something with my little sibling. This was my 2nd time while it was a 1st for her. So, I will be comparing this experience with my previous one. In both experience, was greeted by the same worker (I'm assuming it's the owner, don't quote me on it lol) and we quickly got to ordering after having a quick look at the menu. It's a simple menu without having too much options imo. Throughout our orders, the person who was building our bowl was VERY generous with the servings (unlike some other places which are stingy with it). Let me tell you, this is GREATLY appreciated when you're starving. Idk how he did it, but both times I have yet to be disappointed with the food. It is CONSISTENT in flavor. The only downside if you're really picky with your ginger rice like my sibling is it wasn't as ginger as she would've like it to be. Anywho, if you're looking for a meal that's flavorful, consistent, and filling, def check this place out! Got to warn you tho', it may not look like it, but it WILL fill you up! I for one cannot eat all of it at once so the bowl can be share if you think you can't finish it by yourself.‐---------Food = 4.99/5Bowl 1= Brown rice + honey duck & taka beef brisket + everything except for grilled onions for veggies & toppings + spicy mayo & chili oil sauceBowl 2 = Ginger rice + same protein, veggies, & toppings + spicy mayo ----------Service = 5/5Friendly, fast, and clean!‐-----------Space & parking = small, but plenty

I was looking for bowls to eat but I wasn't feeling teriyaki or Chipotle, so I found this place and decided to try it out. The owner was super nice and helped out alot as it was my first time. The bowl was super delicious and I felt extremely satisfied afterward. The meat was super flavorful and tender, and the vegetables, toppings, and sauce just complimented each other. Will definitely go back again.

First time here and it was great! What I believe is the owner helped us, she gave us a rundown of what they offered. She was super nice and welcoming. I got pork belly and it was good. I liked the sides that they have and toppings, great flavors! Im gonna try half pork belly half duck next time! It's a little hidden place.

I've been eyeing this spot for awhile now and today as I was craving a teriyaki bowl, I thought I'd give this place a try finally. I am glad I did. The place is not easily spotted from the street. It's on the same strip mall with Subways Sandwich. It's a very small shop but very clean inside. The owner put on new rubber gloves and a plastic glove on top of that before assemblying my bowl together.I had the ginger rice (so fragrant as the owner was scooping the rice to the bowl), pork ribs, all the toppings except the bamboo shoots, ponzu sauce, chilli oil, fried onions, sesame seeds, seaweed strips.I'm definitely coming back to try other meat options such as brisket, duck, and pork belly.

This place is underrated! Great, clean, yummy food that hits the spot. I wish they had more options for sides, but I'll take what I can get. It's in a weird location, but delivery is reliable and quick.

My wife and I really love this place ,but everytime I go I always check if they're still open like they haven't closed down I mean. It's always empty there everytime we go I hope the company is doing good because I'll hate to see this place permanently closed. I love their pork belly seasoned so good and also their soyed eggs. The people there are quiet and polite.

I've been coming here essentially on a weekly basis, and let me tell you, it's been one of my favorite spots to eat at for lunch! The food tastes great, the meats are flavorful, and never taste dry, and the various toppings that this restaurant offers are all delicious. The pricing is also reasonable. You basically get to build your own bowl with a few different rice options or salad as a base. Next, you can choose up to two different meats and then your veggies. There are various sauces to choose from, and a few toppings as well. The customer service here is very good; I'm always greeted with a friendly smile, and seem grateful that I return, which I appreciate. The dining area is small, there are only about 5 tables and one bar-type seating along the back wall; so it can get crowded during the lunch rush. The restaurant is kept very clean as well. I've also never had any issues finding parking here, either.
