OSHA VIOLATIONS! I waited for a mobile order that took 20 minutes past the pick up time to be ready. That, alone, was inconvenient, but NOT a deal breaker. I am patient, reasonable and understanding. They ran out of rice, that was the delay. No big deal... but the problem, for me, was witnessing CROSS CONTAMINATION & NO HAND WASHING during the time I was waiting.
A young man was working in the back kitchen area. He had long hair, not in a hair net or covered by a hat. That's worrisome enough, but I witnessed this same associate rub his face and nose, without gloves on, then reach into a large serving bowl and sprinkle a topping onto 3 bowls... with the same hand he used to wipe his face and nose. Then, the phone rang at the front counter, and he came up to answer it. He did not wash his hands and returned to working, touching things, BARE HANDED, no gloves.
An older lady with short hair, returned from a break, did not wash her hands, put on her hat and apron and jumped back into work.
She was very kind to me, but I couldn't believe the lack of cleanliness and the amount of germs that could potentially be spread.
Then, a woman, who had also been waiting for a new batch of rice, received her dine in order. She watched the older woman go to the back, bare handed, grabbing toppings and putting them on her bowl, after witnessing this lady touch several different food items and things around the front counter, without washing her hands. This customer looked so disgusted, she literally gasped and put her hand on her chest in shock. She took one bite, then came back and asked for a refund.
It was unfortunate because the food looked amazing and the staff was nice, regardless of the wait time, I was happy to give them a try, but seeing everything I saw made me feel sick to my stomach. I felt the need to warn others.
I'm all for leaving reviews, but I hate to leave negative ones. This felt absolutely necessary. Please, avoid eating here until they follow proper food...
Read moreThe parking, the traffic and what seems to be non-stop construction at the corner of 11th and Lewis has kept me from enjoying the restaurant offerings at Kitchen 66. I set out today to eat Indian food somewhere in Tulsa; somehow that plan mutated and we wound up at Bodhi’s Bowl instead. Glad we did! The dining environment experience in the Mother Road Market is not glamorous. However, the variety, quality, and uniqueness of the small food shops auditioning for your business, make up for the state fair, and noisy mall food court, like setting. At Bodhi’s Bowl my wife quickly zeroed in on the Falafelopolis: crispy Falafels with sumac, combined with a salad of fresh ginger, spinach, Feta cheese, house-made cucumber Tzatziki, and sweet pickled red onion on herb lime rice. I went for the Red Bird Bangkok, another rice bowl/salad meal with abundant chunks of coconut curry chicken, Thai green beans, chopped cucumber, spinach sprinkled with chopped peanuts. The chicken and the rice were covered with a fantastic slightly spicy curry that took this meal over the top. The ingredients in these bowls were fresh and flavorful. Both meals...
Read moreWe came to mother road market, admittedly late, jussst under an hour to close on Friday night. Knowing we were approaching these establishments close to their closing time, everyone in our small party of 3 looked ahead to see what they wanted from mother road market on the drive over. 1 person in our party wanted Bodhi’s Bowls. We arrive and approach the counter & the guy working tells us that “they’re extremely backed up with orders & trying to get ready to close the kitchen” then says “but technically I can’t refuse an order”. We opted to not order anything as clearly they didn’t want our business, walked out with fresh Howdy Burger less than 20 minutes later and it seemed that they were not backed up with orders as we had been told initially and were working to clean their kitchen & leave. 1 star since we didn’t get to experience Bodhi’s Bowls as we...
