We ordered off the menu, bibimbap and bulgolgi. Both were delicious! Food came quick and waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely eat there again!

I wish we would have found this spot sooner. Great service and atmosphere, kid friendly. Food and coctails are always satisfying.

Delicious food, super attentive, friendly, and helpful server, and welcoming and kind owners. I can’t believe we waited so long to try it! We’ll absolutely be back.

Nice and clean restaurant with tons of natural lighting. I am obsessed with their vegetable pancakes! We have always tried them for lunch (no wait time and great service) but we will definitely have to try a dinner service and their hot plate options!

My Bowl Korean BBQ, I heard great things about this place from mutual friends and coworkers. As a heavy Korean BBQ enthusiast, I had to give My Bowl a worthy shot. Unfortunately, I was extremely underwhelmed. But first let’s talk about the pros. The food quality was above average, definitely fresh and flavorful but not anything to write home about when it comes to Korean BBQ, really small portions compared to similar establishments. The customer service is absolutely spectacular and the owners (I presume) walked around checking on guests and had very playful funny banter, 5/5 in that department. Our server was very good as well, 5/5. The establishment is very clean, the wait time on a Saturday at 4:30 pm was under 10 minutes and seating is very modest. If you’re a bigger individual, it may become a bit uncomfortable.
Now the cons and I want to preference that this is my experience with the All You Can Eat (AYCE) experience which I would assume is why a healthy amount of their visitors dine here. I cannot speak on the A-La-Cart experience.
Con-one is the biggest, the selection of meats is very underwhelming compared to most K-BBQ in this price point. There are only 7 meats you can choose from in which only 6/7 is truly AYCE. You only get ONE Kalbi Short Rib PER person on the AYCE portion. This is extremely unheard of at other K-BBQ establishments I’ve been to. It’s very fresh and flavorful but to only get one person when you choose AYCE, is very disappointing but I will give credit where it’s due, this is advertised on their website. The rest of the “premium” meats are unlimited, with an over all 1.5 hr time limit, were above average quality with great flavor.
Con-two is that the second portion of the AYCE is limited to one option PER table which is advertised online but is very underwhelming because it’s rare that most people in your party or even yourself, want the same exact dish through out an AYCE experience. A friend and I, opted for the normal ramen which is literally just your standard cheap ramen noodle packets and a cheap broth without any depth of flavor. We could only stomach one bowl, do not order this. As mentioned above, to only get a total of 7 options combined with the fact this portion of the AYCE is only one option PER table is such a disappointment at a K-BBQ establishment with this price point. If the other options offered are anything like the normal ramen we had, I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high in this department.
Overall, I have to give My Bowl K-BBQ a true 2.5/5 rating. Most of that rating is from the amazing staff and the decent quality of the food. For $34/person, this place does not justify its cost. Other Korean BBQ establishments I’ve been to in Florida and Chicago within the $30 to $50 range, completely blows My Bowl out of the water. At these other establishments, I am able to truly AYCE various steaks, seafood, poultry and even desert with no time limit or food selection restrictions.
I can dine on AYCE crab or many different Korean inspired chicken wings if I took the $34 dollars and went to another establishment. Google Volcano: Hot Pot & BBQ for reference. Bigger, better, and more variety at similar establishments in this price point truly hurts what you get at My bowl experience wise. This is a good one and done experience but I can not recommend My bowl as a routine K-BBQ place. Great room for improvement though.

Top tier Korean bbq. Fresh meat and unlimited sides. Service was fast and friendly. You can't visit Scott AFB without trying this place. We had all you can eat and that is the only way to go. Will definitely come back again.
I am updating my review after reading the comment by the owner on regard to this. After speaking to the server and seeing her professionalism disparaged here, I reached out. She said that the write-ups she received were for breaking glassware. She only ever received write-ups, two prior to this for that infraction. I would have to say that based on your reply, you have defamed her character if this is true. Please provide information regarding this if it is indeed false, which I highly doubt after your terrible behavior, I will await your response. Also I'm curious why it would ever be appropriate to make an employee cry or to fire someone for breaking a glass? This is common in restaurant work, and is completely inappropriate to fire someone, or even reprimand them for this. Your answer is awaited. I've enjoyed the food especially the delicious and differing side dishes that were offered, but the owner's treatment of employees is abominable! She reduced a server to tears for breaking a glass and fired the server. I will never go back and I will make sure to make multiple posts on my personal social media as well as on military pages related to Scott AFB as I am a disabled AF veteran with ties to both the military community and O'Fallon. The restaurant is not worthy of my dollars!

Our server was great! Polite, positive attitude, informative on menu. The food was very good: we have had lunch twice both time excellent. We did the all you can eat and the food was very good. My only negatives: the shrimp were not peeled.

I had a wonderful experience at My Bowl Korean Barbecue restaurant. The food was delicious, especially the spicy ribeye. We were a party of five and opted for the all-you-can-eat option. We tried the Ramen beef and the Ramen with chicken. We also had a fried appetizer, whose name I can't recall. We absolutely loved it. I also enjoyed a pomegranate martini. The server was very polite ano knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this place. I'm thrilled that there is a Korean barbecue restaurant in the O'Fallon-Belleville-Shiloh area, right outside the base. Typically, I would have to go to St. Charles for Korean barbecue, so this is very convenient for me. I also had the opportunity to speak with the owners, who are a very lovely couple. The restaurant had a casual atmosphere, but I felt that I could also dress up and go there. I love that they have a mini store in the front.
