    Absolutely 10/10 and I am so upset that this is only in Arizona! We wanted to meet up with a friend for a dinner, and I've been wanting to eat here since it opened. It is very clean inside, and was not very busy. Build-Your-Own bowl concepts are so popular but a place with Asian flavors is refreshing. You know what else is also refreshing? Unlimited milk teas. Which they have here! For my bowl: shrimp, white rice, eggplant, miso glazed squash, fried scallions, and sauce that I cannot remember. My husband got popcorn chicken for his protein. Ugh - SO DELICIOUS. I highly recommend Please open in St. Louis next!

    Great spot for some Asian fusion! I actually tried this place because of the Too Good to Go app -- the bowl I picked up was huge and filled with lots of great food! Crispy chicken, sweet and sour eggplant, rice, spicy mashed potatoes, edamame, shredded carrot, mushrooms, pineapple, cabbage, corn, cucumber and radish, and some type of sesame seed sauce on top. Everything was quite tasty but my favorite was the sweet and sour eggplant! It is a little difficult to access this place (I made the mistake of swinging by on a Saturday night) but I would say it's worth checking out regardless. There are tables outside to sit and eat at. I also saw they offer other items such as milk tea -- I will be back to try it!

    Super cute wall decor!

    In the neighborhood helping my sister move the rest of her stuff, and when she asked me what I wanted to eat as a thank you for helping, this was the first and only place that came to mind! Been craving this place since the first time we happened upon it by happy accident (details below). We got our own make your own bowls this time. The portions are so generous that even after we stuffed our faces full, there was plenty leftover (yay!). Harry, Issac and the rest of the staff here are so friendly, patient and helpful! Definitely a must for me whenever I'm in town! I only wish we had something like this back in SGV! First discovered this yummy place through the Too Good To Go app/project, and am so thankful and grateful! The store is super cute, and the service is top notch (thanks Isaac)! Love the Asian flavors in all the protein and veggie options, which had this really fresh, healthy spin that just makes their bowls that much better! Their house cheesecakes (got both the matcha and lime) are light, fluffy and full of flavor! Highly, highly recommend!

    Make your bowl

    This is a review for the RICEMILL at the arrowhead mall. We attended the grand opening last Saturday after previously enjoying the downtown location. There was a large crowd with some nice give aways. As for the food it was very good as expected. We did the build your own bowls and despite the long line, the team got our order out quick. Food was hot, fresh and tasty. The biggest selling point besides taste is the large size of the bowls. One full build your own bowl can easily feed two people. Don't hesitate to try either of their Phoenix locations because you will not be disappointed. "FIMP" Food is my Passion

    Eggplant is so good here - look at how big that bowl is

    I was here about a month ago for a Yelp Elite event and loved the food, so today, while I was in the area, I picked up another bowl to have for dinner. And being that May is Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander month, seems almost apt to support Asian businesses. The place had one other customer ordering before me and then it was my turn. I absolutely love the eggplant they make here so I started with my base of white rice and then asked for the eggplant. The lady behind the counter was confused as that wasn't considered a protein but we talked it thru and she said I would just have to charge you as if it was a tofu bowl and I said sure ok. She, then piled on the eggplant (generous portion) and then I had a choice of a few more sides so opted for the cauliflower, enough mushrooms and zucchini. I then also had corn, edamame added and some pickled veggies. Added a little bit of scallion sauce and then topped it off with some crispy shallots. The bowl was about $12 and it's big enough for 2 portions! And every bite was delicious! They were also giving away free dessert, so I had one of the chocolate puddings! I also love their fountain milk tea here as it's not too sweet and about $3. Overall, with tax and tips, my meal came to under $20! I definitely like this place and the food is fresh and good. I do hope they can keep their doors open as they may depend on foot traffic and maybe when there are games and conferences in town. Parking can be a hassle in this area. Give this place a try, your tastebuds and your piggy bank won't regret it!

    I love coming here! They have awesome side choices to add into your bowls like smashed pumpkin, bbq cauliflower and spicy mashed potato!! I always do the BYOB, since I love all the toppings and this time I did half greens/brown rice, umami roast chicken with all of the above toppings and all of the cold toppings! DELICIOUS! I also ordered their house made milk tea which is a delicious treat! My husband ordered the Szechuan Mala steak bowl and really liked it. The lobby is bright and large, with lots of places to sit. There isn't convenient parking, so you'll have to figure that out. But it's definitely worth checking out! The people working are always very nice and helpful!

    Went here for Yelp Elite event and it was quick, & overall a nice experience with the brand new location opening of RICEMILL. Overall, I recommend this place if you need a healthy bowl. It may not be the best-tasting bowl ever, but not a bad choice for good food. walk-in Here are my takes: Food/Drinks: Got a chicken bowl with half and half chicken meat options. They were out of noodles, so I took rice as the base. Overall tastes good, fresh, and healthy.  The rice pudding (chocolate) one was not my favorite. In drinks, I took watermelon, strawberry lemonade that was not very sweet like in other places, but it was sweet enough for me not to finish it. Service: It's a Chipotle-type walk in line and build bowl model, so it was pretty quick. The staff was not slow, and they were serving the line pretty quickly. Hygiene: This is a brand new location, so everything felt new. The restaurant itself is a modern design interior, very bright, and feels very spacious with plenty of seating. Price: Reasonably priced for the quality of food and the bowl size I would not go here every day, but wouldn't mind being here for a healthy option of lunch option since it is right next to my office in downtown.

    Pro-tip: Parking can be tricky since it's a lot of of paid street parking and garage parking since it's in the middle of downtown. Highlights: Think chipotle, but make it Asian, light, healthier and refreshing. Absolutely loving this concept and would highly encourage people to try this place! I love their variety of base, proteins, sides, and sauces. I got a half noodle and half rice bowl with half steak and half shrimp and it was delicious! The milk tea is simply a must get. I traveled to Asia a lot and easily this milk, tea rivals so many of the ones I've had because of its strong tea flavor and it's not too sweet. Also, the interior is super cute and they even have some patio seating as well. Lowlights: I wish it was in a different location because I don't frequent downtown! It's a little pricey, but they really loaded up so you could even have some leftovers!

    The shrimp and steak looked amazing but I had to try the crispy chicken
    Sarah A.

    I walked here and feel like this is a restaurant downtown Phoenix needs. It's a healthier option to a quick bite AND you get way more than other similar concepts like chipotle. I love that they have proteins from steak, shrimp and even the popular original crispy chicken. I will say, the crispy chicken wasn't crispy but it was a very juicy chicken filled with flavor. I ordered the original Hong Kong crispy chicken bowl which came with a bed of rice, the crispy chicken, (I added in some thin sliced zucchini and cauliflower), it also came with carrots, edamame, cabbage, corn and we topped it off with a signature sauce. Girl.... I thought I was going to take some home and I devoured this bowl! HAHA! I also tried the OG Lemonade and added a bit of the strawberry lemonade to it. So refreshing!! The milk tea looked popular because it was almost out when I got there. I went back to try the vanilla rice pudding and wtf, I need this every night I crave a late night snack. So good, very thick and creamy texture. Loved it! They also played some popular kpop songs here and overall i recommend checking this place out!! PS- did you know they cater?

    I've ordered DoorDash from here many times and it's always hot and delicious. Decided to visit the store while in the area excited for something yummy and familiar, but it was really not that good. We went for Saturday lunch and the store was completely empty, there was a fly flying around and all the food is uncovered. I got my usual popcorn chicken protein, and it tasted like it was cooked hours ago and was super hard. Overall all the food was stale and did not taste fresh. One thing I will say is that their portions are always really good, they loaded up my bowl. I'll probably keep ordering DoorDash but won't visit the store again.

    Rice bowl with pork
    Anthony H.

    Food: 4/5 we had the rice bowl with pork it tasted amazing! Service: 5/5 the owner was so nice to me and my fiancée she even let our little k9 Douglas in really made our experience that much better Ambiance: 5/5 let me tell you if you're in the area late night bar hopping this is perfect drinking food outside tables and inside clean and spacious

    Build your own bowl with Korean fried chicken
    Denise M.

    We needed a place to grab lunch near the convention center and this place was close. You just go down the line and see what you want in your bowl kind of Subway style. There's a lot of Korean choices and while there isn't a lot on the actual line to choose what they do have is really delicious. My son got some kind of Korean garlic chicken bowl, and I made my own bowl with crispy fried chicken, brown rice, zucchini, carrots, and a really delicious caramelized scallion sauce. The choices are limited, but the food is good and the price was okay, from about $11 to $15. They have Pepsi products and not Coke, and that didn't make me happy, but I'm sure it'll make some people happy.

    I ordered DoorDash from Ricemill and got an incredible bowl!! I did the make your own bowl with a noodle and green base, umami roast chicken for my protein, and tons of toppings! The sweet and sour eggplant in particular is delicious!! Everything is so flavorful and the portion is good for the price. I haven't gone into the restaurant in person yet since I hate dealing with downtown parking, but I would like to eventually. They also have rice pudding and milk tea that I'll have to try another time.

Stopped here for dinner on Labor Day at around 515 so it wasn't too busy but great ambiance. I love the decor it's very inviting! My waiter was so friendly and helpful. I originally came cuz I saw this lobster tagliatelle dish but I actually wasn't too hungry and was going to the Drunk Pirates show after so I didn't want to be weighed down. The catch of the day was a sea bass which sounded great and over a succotash with a pork gastrique with corn nut crunch. And OMG when I say this was prob the best succotash I've ever had. Super crunchy fresh corn, asparagus, snap peas and bell peppers. The sea bass was also cooked great, very crispy skin and glaze. I'm literally thinking about it now. I also ended up getting the Lost in the Woods dessert which was a delicate chocolate mousse on shortbread with like a candied hazelnut and cookie dust. Every bite was heavenly. I wish I could've tried the other desserts too. I would literally come back to Phoenix just to eat here again. I want to try the beef Wellington so I'll need to drag a friend to come with me too since it's a serving whole for 2. Overall cannot recommend enough!

We shifted gears and went next door to Sake Haus, and I'm so glad we did! Everything was spectacular! First of all--BEST edamame I've ever had! That tallow really adds a richness! And the gyoza had just the right amount of kick to them. We had both the hamachi crudo and the halibut crudo. They were both delicious, but the hamachi was the standout. Hamachi is usually a little too fishy for me, but this just melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. We also had one of the specials, the 808 roll. It was topped with poke, and we would not let them take the plate until we'd scooped up every little morsel! Cocktails and service were excellent as well. We definitely ended up with a pricier meal than what we'd planned next door, but it was totally worth it! I wish I'd taken pics of the beautifully plated dishes, but I was too just eating!

    I was dying for sushi and this place looked promising. A few things to preface this review: 1) I…read morelove sushi and I typically steer clear of sushi in the desert for obvious reasons. 2) I lean towards sashimi and high quality fish. The service- pretty poor. I was sat in the bar at the back but I basically sat there for a good 5 minutes and nothing. I went back up front and asked to sit at the bar and it was still pretty inattentive, especially considering no one else was even seated in the front room at the time. Never got my water refilled, had to flag them down to put in more food, that sorta thing. The vibes- thought the bar was pretty lit and is prob pretty fun during HH. The food- overpriced for what you get and portion size while the fish and flavors being a smidge above average. I left still hungry after getting the gold omakase, bad and buri roll, and hamachi crudo. The hamachi was the best part of the meal but I'd still expect at least 5 pieces for the price. Anyways, this spot will hit the spot if you have a sushi craving. I can't vouch for the drinks but I assume it more than checks the box in that regard judging by the menu, selection, and vibe. But know that you're in for some trade offs imo.

We had reservations, were greeted and seated immediately. We decided to share tapas to allow the opportunity to sample a wider variety of dishes. Happy hour menu provided a great opportunity at a reasonable price. We order hummus and peta bread, olives with almonds and a couple of church music IPAs. The beers and olives arrived in a few minutes and the hummus about ten minutes later. Loved the red pepper flavor of the hummus. Beers were cold and refreshing. Next we decided to try the honey saffron and sumac Socca. It was unique and delicious. The ingredients truly complement each other, with the sumac bring a tart flavor to the honey saffron. We also tried the crispy eggplant with tzatziki sauce which was a standout, one of the best bite of the evening. Our last two dishes we selected were the K4 meatballs with parmigiana in a wine sauce and the grilled octopus. The octopus was okay but not as good as it was last time, too many white beans and octopus texture was off. The meatballs were excellent with bold flavors. The atmosphere was quiet initially but the restaurant filled up and got busy about 15 minutes later. Love the open kitchen and eclectic decor. Our server was friendly and attentive.
