| - Potentially a good replacement for the now gone Tempe Kyoto Bowl. The food is very good, and is prepared in front of you so you know it hasn't been moldering in a pot for hours in the back.
The employees upsell a little too much for my taste, but they're new and I think that will stop over time. They also bespeak the healthfulness of the food. (Well really, they talked up the "healthyness," but that's wrong, food isn't healthy. People are.) This may just be my own personality disorder, but I don't want employees getting that chatty with me when I'm ordering lunch. Stop trying to convince me how good your food is Daniel Webster, just rustle me up a plate and I'll get back to you! Sheesh!
It certainly doesn't make me feel sluggish like overly fatty food usually does, it has a lot more vegetables in it, I was able to get my Teriyaki Chicken with brown rice, and it is comparably priced to Kyoto Bowl or Samurai Sams.
While they just opened, which usually means you can't really trust the Yelp review until they've settled in a bit more, it is part of a chain, so I don't think there will be much of a change. The food is yummy, it doesn't take long, and it isn't terribly expensive for what you get. (My Teriyaki Bowl was $6.80)
