Yummy bowl — Restaurant in Indianapolis

I went to Yummy Bowl for the first time yesterday afternoon (Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023). I was part of a large party, and there was plenty of seating to accommodate us. There is an 18% gratuity added to parties of 5 or more. From entering the restaurant to the end of our visit, it was a wonderful experience. The staff was professional, attentive, and friendly. The food was plentiful, fresh, and delicious. The restaurant looked clean and organized. I found the pricing to be quite fair for the entire high-quality experience and food. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Some in my party were experienced in how Yummy Bowl works, so I was guided in the bowl-building process. Once you are seated, a server comes around to get your drink order and finds out if you're planning on building a bowl. If not, they do have a menu with other entrées.

If you are building a custom bowl, which I did, you receive an empty gray bowl and a red card on which you select which rice base you want, special requests, your name, and table number. Then you get into the food bar line. Before touching any food, you use the sanitizer dispenser and put on clear gloves. Take a black tray and put your empty bowl and red card on it. The food bar has toppings to go with your rice base (which is added later by the cooks when they assemble your finished red bowl). There are noodles, whole eggs (up to 2 per bowl), vegetables, seafood, and meats. You can pile on whatever you can fit into your bowl, HOWEVER, any overflow food that has to go into a second bowl will incur the bottomless bowl charge.

The corner of the food bar has the dry seasonings you take to sprinkle onto your raw food. The sauce station is next. Sauces go ON THE SIDE in the little black cups. It's recommended to fill 2 black cups of sauces for your bowl. All along the window overhang at the food bar and sauce station are labels (a bit difficult for me to see at first) with the item names so you know what you're looking at. On your black tray now, you should have your filled-out red card, gray bowl full of raw food, perhaps 1 or 2 eggs, and perhaps black cups of sauces. You take your tray to the end of the counter where the amazing grill cooks take it back to the circular grill behind the food bar and add it to their queue of orders. You're done, so return to your table, and your food will come to you assembled in a red bowl according to the information you filled out on...

Very cool idea for a restaurant. Lots of tables and big booths for big parties (18% gratuity added to parties of 5 or more) and they had lots of servers if u had questions or need a refill.

The idea of the place is you ask for a bowl($13.99 for one or 17.99 for AYCE), write your name and table number on the sheet provided and fill it with whatever noodles, veggies, and proteins you want. Then season it with dry seasonings and you can choose 2 sauces to add to your bowl.

After that you drop it off and then when it's ready your server will bring you your bowl hit and fresh! Great process when it's a table of 2, I saw it get tricky when it was a table of 6+ lol.

They also offer fresh made sushi, lo mein, Chinese appetizers(shumai pictured) and a pretty good sized beer menu and wine. We got hot sake!

We will...

First time here and it certainly won’t be my last! This food was fresh, nicely presented on the buffet area AND DELICIOUS!! 🤤

Really cool concept to get a bowl and pack it with all you can fit into it. Then you take it to the guys and they cook it up in an open kitchen so you can make sure all sanitary measures are adhered to. When it’s ready, the servers bring it to your table.

The staff was very nice and attentive. The bathroom was clean. The restaurant had good music playing And the whole place was tidy and clean!

Great price for the amount of food you get also. UPDATE___ We are still coming here and we still love the service and the food! This is our Valentine’s...
