Ordered delivery and it was bomb. I had the spicy Korean bowl and oh boy it was tasty.

The two employees working were nice. However, as I am ordering my chicken bowls I see the cook using no gloves while unloading vegetables. I’m pretty sure you are supposed to wear gloves but I am not the health department. Second, the avocado on my bowl was brown and disgusting and I paid extra for it. Flies were flying around the sauces just very unsanitary. I would avoid this location and go to another.

We have ordered individual bowls here for over a year especially for our daughter’s volleyball team dinners before games. It was always a big hit and the girls appreciated a healthy filling meal. We needed to order catering for her graduation party and everything went perfectly. The trays of food were plentiful and everyone loved it. It was fresh and delicious! We will definitely order catering here again or go for a meal.

I never write reviews, but I feel I needed to write one for this place. They sent out coupons to our mailbox so I decided to go with a friend and try it out. Talk about a DUMP! Now let me preface this by saying it was a little bit later at night, but there were two guys working there! (Look like two high school kids. But they were pretty disheveled with baggy clothes.) The restaurant was disgusting! There was sauce and trash on top of most of the tables. And the soda machine and surrounding utensils and condiments, looked like it had been ravaged. It was just a very unclean environment! Which is kind of sad because when you have two people working there, you would think they’d take the initiative to do some cleaning? We ordered one steak bowl and one chicken bowl per our coupon. Unfortunately, one of the kids said that they didn’t have the chicken ready so he’d have to cook it up. Totally fine. But, does it really take 25 to 30 minutes to cook a single piece of chicken and cut it up? It was just a filthy environment and really bad service! I get they’re probably high school kids working there, but you need to hire people who don’t mumble and are a little bit more incentivized to take initiative. I have two more coupons from the flyer that was sent out, but I don’t think I’ll be using them. The food was decent, but nothing special. Again, just the experience made me not interested in ever going back. Very unfortunate.

This place is horrible. I came here thinking it would be better than Panda Express. Boy was I wrong. I ordered a half and half beef/white meat chicken. They tell me the white meat isn't ready and is cooked to order so i need to wait 6-8 additional minutes. Once I tried it I realized I made a mistake. Food is next level gross! Meat is so dry I could hardly chew it. Veggies are unseasoned and lifeless. On top of that it's expensive . I honestly thing the meat comes precooked and then they fire it up and recook the living hell out of it. Seriously so dry I almost choked trying to get it down.

I was told it would be a few minutes wait for my chicken bowl. 10 minutes later, my rice and veggies are still sitting on the counter getting cold while I wait for my chicken to be cooked. Horrible choice for a fast lunch meal. Will not be coming back again.

The food is great, but for $17.74 per plate, the amount of food you get is not worth it. I remember it used to be different a couple of years ago. I am not sure if it changed owners or what the deal is, but today this is what my plate looked like. It is really a shame because the food is delicious.

I've been coming to this location since before COVID. After COVID I understand things were rough for everyone. The problem is it isn't improving. Most places are getting back to 'normal'. First is was the snotty teenaged boys being rude and the constant turn over of employees, sometimes closed. Then it was that I always had to wait for them to make all white chicken for my bowl. It was about 10 minutes wait. And finally today, I was told that there wasn't any all white chicken and that it would be 'a while' not the usual ten minutes. So why is it that you have all white chicken on your menu, but you are never prepared to serve it? In addition to this, today I was shorted because I only get one scoop of rice and I usually ask for more vegetables. I have done this the whole time I've come here. This was a first for that. it's too pricey to be shorting people of anything. Super disappointed. They took any reason I had left to go here anymore.

Normally I like this place. The meat is decent and the wait usually it's too bad. But today was the worst it's ever been. Normally I'm in and out in five mins or less. But today it took 30 min from the time I walked in the door to when I left. I should've realised something was up when there was a long line at 11:40. From what I can tell it's all because of one guy that didn't know what he was doing. Or just really baked. I watched the woman in front of me order 1 reg bowl half n half and the guy made 3 bowls... wasn't even listening.
Thank God the other guy helped me. Went fast too. But after I paid and asked for magic sauce (which ran out on the self serve table) the clueless guy asked me if those extra bowls were mine..Dude just made those for no one two mins ago and didn't know who they even belonged too. Crazy.

Worst place to order food from. I put in a online order and when I arrived at pickup time they havent even started my order. I got in line so they could make my food but they told me it would be a couple mins. Then proceeded to make the orders for the people in line , while I waited the whole time for then to help them first. Very unacceptable. No good system in place very slow

I paid almost $13 for a angus beef bowl with barely any meat in it but considering the meat was so old and dry I guess it was a blessing in disguise. They must save their meat overnight and re use it the next day. The kid who made it must get paid by how much food he doesn’t give you. I was disgusted by the bowl I received. I will never go back to this location ever. Hopefully this review will save anyone else from getting the worst lunch ever.
