| - Update: The owner took my yelp review seriously and immediately attempted to make my experience better. They offered me 2 freshly made bowls which were made fresh, and told me that they will continue to make bowls at the time of order. I really appreciate the owner's kindness, as she really tried to lighten the situation. However, my boyfriend and I still think the rice bowls are a no from us. We have tried the steak, salmon, and chicken, and did not really like the way any of the meat and bowls tasted. I mostly just ate the rice. There are better places to spend your money and get better tasting food.

Previous review: I forgot to take photos because I was too hungry and excited to try this place out.
I think the idea of a grab-and-go restaurant is a great idea IF you have the customers for it. It was around 6:30 pm and there were 2 couples already eating their food, but there was probably 4-6 of each rice bowl pre-made. (There was not 12+ people waiting in line to eat. Waste of food)
I wanted the steak bowl ($11.99), and the presentation of the layered steak and soft egg was nice, but I was already apprehensive to eat the bowl because I had no idea what time they were made. I don't feel comfortable thinking about how long the egg and meat were sitting out, and I think it's a health code violation if you don't label the items with the time they were prepared at. The bowls could have been sitting out for 4 hours for all I know. Gross, but I still decided to try the food. My fault. The worker asked if I wanted the food heated up and I said sure. She then proceeded to put the bowl in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
I only took a few bites before I threw the whole thing away. For $11.99, I should be getting freshly made food. The steak was grey and microwaving the food is like microwaving leftovers, which I could have done at home.
My boyfriend ordered the salmon bowl and also felt uncomfortable eating the food.
There is no need for a grab-and-go option if you don't have the customers and traffic to support it.
I'm giving 2 stars because this place does have potential if they made the food at the time of order, and also because my bf said not to give it one star.
I won't be coming back
