| - Ever heard the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none".
Its a donut shop, its a deli, its a cafe, its a family restaurant, its an Asian fast food place...well, we found out differently
We were looking for something different for lunch so turned to Yelp and decided to try the "Ninja Bowl". Then found there is no place with this name. No street sign, no door marker legend, no mailbox. Nothing. We had to do some hunting and asking (I hate asking) and found out the truth. There are four names on Yelp for the same address and same location:
1) Ninja Bowl, http://www.yelp.com/biz/ninja-bowl-phoenix
aka
2) Rainbow Donuts Bakery & Cafe http://www.yelp.com/biz/rainbow-donuts-bakery-and-cafe-phoenix
aka
3) Rainbow Donuts & Deli http://www.yelp.com/biz/rainbow-donuts-and-deli-phoenix
aka
4) Bobby C's Cafe http://www.yelp.com/biz/bobby-cs-cafe-phoenix
OK, it took a bit of hunting, walking around the building 3 times and we finally asked so found it.
Now to ordering lunch. I didn't even look at the menu because I've read the Yelp reviews of Jesse and Darren, so think I'm informed. In a decisive sweep of confidence I ask for the Chipotle bowl
.... and get blank stares.
They don't know what this is. I finally look at the menu and its not there.
I order the closest thing, The sizzling bowl. It arrives and is just what I ordered, a bowl of rice, some chopped small chicken smothered in Spicy sauce with a few Jalapenos. Add a small drink and I'm at $8.90 with tax. Although plentiful It was just OK, absent of any veggies but then again all of the bowls are just meat, rice, and sauce except the Veggie Bowl.
The girls from the office that I took here for lunch glared at me. This is not the good glare either.
PS - A day later the charge showed up on my credit card online statement as BOBBY C's CAFE
