Yummy Bowl (stir fry Mongolian grill and sushi) — Restaurant in Hurstbourne Acres

When driving down Hurstbourne one day I noticed a new sign above this restaurant. It said "Yummy Bowl" and at first I was a bit dismissive. For about the last 8 years this location has been more or less a revolving door of restaurants that came on strong and didn't last. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical to write a review for the next place to occupy this space because of the lack of staying power....up until this point.

Our first visit was AWE-SOME. Structurally, they completely re-did the inside. The bar that was a feature of the last 4 or 5 residents is gone to make room for seating. The kitchen is completely visible (one of the signature attributes of a Mongolian Barbecue), and there is plenty of seating without feeling crowded.

The concept of the Mongolian Barbecue is a simple one: Choose your starch, get your bowl, and head on down the line. What you put in your collection bowl goes in your big red dinner bowl. Along the way there a fiscal ton of fresh vegetables, more starches (if you're in to that kind of thing) and the meats. Salmon, Beef, Chicken, Pork, and a few others. Customize it, 100%, to your liking. Love onions? Fill it up and hope for breath mints. Make your own seafood bowl with salmon and squid (eww) and a few other seafood options. The options are limited only to your imagination. There are a few seasonings to accent your meal, then choose your sauce(s). Lastly, sauce it to your delight. Hand it over and let the chefs do the cooking for you.

About ten minutes later your food arrives, hot and delicious. You're provided a fork when you sit down. Chopsticks are available from your server on request.

If you're not feeling adventurous or don't want to think too much much about what to pile into a bowl, there is a large selection of entrees on the menu, as well as a fresh sushi (and it looks SOOO good).

There is not a single staff member not actively engaged in taking care of customers, cooking, or cleaning. These people are constantly on the go making sure everything is great.

Ok, so everything above is from our first visit. We liked it so much we went back the following week. That being said copy/paste everything above and you've go our second visit (but I don't do that because if you made it this far, I'm a) impressed and 2) thankful.

I think we've got a long-term restaurant in this space with Yummy Bowls. Visit for yourself. I think...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Yummy Bowl , and I must say, the Build Your Own Bowl experience was fantastic! 🌟

From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The concept of building your own bowl is both fun and customizable, allowing you to create a meal that perfectly suits your taste.

Here's what I loved about it:

Fresh Ingredients: The ingredient bar was stocked with a wide variety of fresh vegetables, proteins, and toppings. I appreciated the quality and freshness of everything available. Customization: I enjoyed having the freedom to choose my own combination of ingredients. I loaded my bowl with a mix of chicken, broccoli, bell peppers, and mushrooms, then added rice noodles and a flavorful garlic sauce. Quick Service: Despite the restaurant being busy, the service was impressively quick. My bowl was cooked to perfection and brought to my table in no time. Delicious Flavors: The final product was absolutely delicious! The ingredients were well-cooked, and the sauce added just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the dish. Great Value: For the quality and quantity of food, the price was very reasonable. It's a great option for a satisfying and healthy meal. Overall, Yummy Bowl's Build Your Own Bowl is a must-try for anyone looking for a delicious, customizable dining experience. I can't wait to go back and try different...
