This place is my new obsession. I'm a sucker for make-your-own anything, so naturally I fell in love with Yafo Kitchen the moment I walked in the door. This place is a a Mediterranean restaurant concept with lots of great flavors and food choices. You can either get a pre-set item or make your own salad or rice bowl. You have a bunch of free toppings that come with the bowl, such as hummus, cucumbers, couscous, etc. You also have a choice of protein for $2.00 extra (I tried the shredded lamb and it was pretty good).
Even though your bowl will totally fill you up, save room for some of their sides. If you add them on top of your bowl, it's an extra $0.99. If you get it on the side to have a larger portion, it's an extra $1.99. I tried the Brussels, cauliflower, and Mac & Cheese and they were ALL great.
Also a plus are the fountain drinks they have on the side as soda alternatives. The lemonade was awesome, and they also had cucumber mint and watermelon.
By the time I finished piling everything on my tray, my bill was $23! Yes, a bit pricey, but I will tell you that everything was totally fresh and I was full for most of the next day (yeah, I admit, I ate too much). I will certainly be a regular here. It's great if you just want to sit down for a casual, good quality lunch on a weekend or dinner with family/friends. I went on Sunday night and it was totally packed. Expect to wait in line, but no worries on the seating because they have plenty of tables.
