Nikubol．Japanese Grill Donburi — Attraction in Houston

I got the OG chicken bowl with a side of the curry and the "fiery" mayo and the chipotle glaze. Neither are spicy AT ALL.

But Very generous portions, the veggies are really fresh, and the sauces are tasty. The teriyaki was very sweet but flavorful to me. Um my only dislike was that most of my chicken was extremely fatty so that threw me off and couldnt eat 75% of it bc it was so giggly and just inedible.

First time trying the beef tongue bowl at Nikubol tonight and wow — it was amazing! The meat was super tender and flavorful. My 5 choices of toppings in the bowl just worked perfectly together — buttery corn, sweet pumpkin, sautéed zucchini, and that creamy potato salad on top of fluffy rice. Such a good combo.

Portion was just right, and the whole thing felt hearty but not too heavy. Definitely one of my new favorite spots for a quick, delicious rice bowl. I’ll be...
