| - My boyfriend and I just had dinner here and want to review this place immediately! The overall food and service was very satisfying. This restaurant opened 3 weeks ago and to our surprise, there was a heavy flow of customers throughout the night and many take out orders. It's clean, bright and seats about 35 people. They are currently doing a 15% discount upon your next visit and even offered us a stamp card.
Before the appetizer and entrees arrived, they served us tempura soup with noodles. This was a pleasant variation from the usual miso soup. We ordered four different things on the menu. The deep fried gyoza (5 pieces) was crispy and basically what we expected it to be. The inside of the Fantastic roll (9 pieces) had shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado and tobiko, topped with slightly torched tuna and cherry tomatos, and drizzled with garlic mayo. The combination of ingredients, textures and flavours was truly fantastic :) For those who aren't a garlic fan, the garlic mayo wasn't strong and didn't leave any after taste. We also ordered the tuna pressed aburi sushi (6 pieces)- another great choice. Fish roe was found between the rice, the tuna was seared, and a slice of jalapeƱo and spicy mayo was layered on top. The level of spiciness was perfect and again, everything tasted so well together! I would prefer less rice for this sushi but this didn't take away from the taste itself. Not many Korean/Japanese restaurants offer torched sushi so kudos to Roll N Bowl for offering this on their menu! Finally, we ordered the beef don- grilled strip loin steak and egg on rice. We didn't find this one special and tasted average.
For the amount and variety of food we ordered, the price was very reasonable. We finished everything and had to pack half the bowl of beef don. We are already looking forward to returning and trying more of their menu! I have a few of their special rolls in mind, as well as their Korean entrees and albab! Not many places make albab (fish roe rice on hot stone bowl) so it's mandatory I try next time!
