| - So the wife had a gift card from Rebol that she'd been sitting in for months. The bad thing is the location of Rebol. It's downtown right in the middle of public square. Which means in terms of parking, it isn't the easiest to get to. Sure, if you're already downtown that isn't an issue, but if you're specifically going downtown for Rebol? That's not going to happen. There's nothing wrong with its location, if you're a businessman or businesswoman it's perfect but for anyone else? Eh. Enough of that though.
The interior is modern, that speaks to the restaurants fresh, quality food. They advertise everything as non-gmo and organic. The flavor definitely speaks to that. I ordered a bowl, they call it REBol, obviously. The one I ordered I built it myself. You start with protein, I ordered the tangy grilled chicken, then you add a base, I went with their sticky rice. 3rd you go with a topper, I added their grilled carrot and jalapeno hummus. 4th, you add a sauce. I chose their Harissa yogurt. Then you go with a garnish, I kept it simple with cilantro and basil. Every order comes with wonton chips which are very fresh and very crisp.
I've seen other reviews speak about how the bowl is cold, but when you're mixing hot and cold, sometime the cold ingredients will over power the warm ingredients. Nothing wrong with that, I expected it tbh. I'm not going to take away from the rating and review for something I expected. That being said, the Harissa yogurt on top was excellent, a slight kick that tied together the juicy chicken and the sticky rice perfectly. I'm not a slaw person, but the slaw in the bowl was crunchy and had just enough flavor and as far as the hummus goes, it had just enough carrot and jalapeno to not overpower the freshness of the hummus base. I'd love to come back because the bowl wasn't too filling and it didn't leave me feeling sluggish.
