I am sorry this location closed. It was good, and I myself stopped by last week and yes, in fact it was closed, with no proper notice that in fact is has gone out of business. However in reply to owner from a previous reply to a review, and I quote "Would've been nice if people like you actually came more regularly and supported local businesses" -- would have loved to patronize more often, but at almost $20 a plate for lunch, personally for me, this was not a sustainable option. Something to have kept in mind. Thank you for the few times I was able to enjoy. Take care now and wish you the best! read more

Noooo we just tried you guys for the first time last month and came back excited but doors were closed and looks like you're permanently closed :( Food was so good!! read more

El Monte, this is the quick and delicious teriyaki spot you have been waiting for! Food is excellent! The owners make their own teriyaki sauce and everything is of course cooked fresh. Location on the main road with parking in the back and plenty of indoor seating, clean restroom and restaurant. True to their name, indeed tasty! Affordable prices, great customer service! The grand reopening was a lot of fun and a nice celebration. A secret gem for El Monte but at the same time a SGV must try when in town! read more

Tasty Bowl - Part of the menu - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

not bad a spot, all considering. Too bad it closed but honestly, $20 a bowl in this location was just bound to fail. This was at least $4-5a bowl too expensive. read more

Decent food, fairly quick, and tasty, too. The staff who took my order was friendly and accomodating. Plus, the restaurant is clean. I work in the area and always have difficulty finding a good place to eat lunch. The area is mostly ghetto and full of grungy and unpalatable eateries, mostly Chinese, Vietnamese and Mexican food. There are fadtfood but I cannot have fastfood everyday. The price is fairly high but I get it, due to inflation and rise in minimum wage, the owner need to adjust to cover the cost. However, the portions are adequate. I ordered a beef plate, which consists of beef teriyaki. Did not appear nor tasted like traditional Japanese teriyaki but it was good. It came on a bed of generous portion of white steamed rice and side of steamed vegetables (cabbage leaves, few broccoli stems and few slices of carrots). They gave me extra sauce which was appreciated. It is good to know the LA County firefighters came and ate there while I was placing my order. They are repeat customers to this establishment. It is always assuring to know that places like this is good as police and firefighters eat there, too. If is is good enough for first responders, then it is good for me. Though, unlike the rest of us, the first responders are paid well and can afford good eats. Also, the establishment is understanding of the high prices of meal and currently experimenting with rewards system to maintain loyal customers. read more

Genuinely love the staff here, apart from that the portions they give you are great and it's definitely worth coming here when you're craving a beef bowl! Me and my mom's go to :) read more

Tried the spicy chicken wings and they are amazing. They are crispy, spicy sweet, and honestly addicting. I usually have to go to Ktown or OC for good K-chicken wings, but now I don't have to go anywhere else. They go perfect with a beer (at home). Service is always great and picking up food to go is convenient. read more

Decided to give this place a chance while looking for something to grab for lunch and am i glad i did. The spicy chicken was delicious. The man at the register was really nice as well. Talked to me the whole time i was waiting for my food. Definitely will be coming back read more

Not only is the food delicious, but the portions are so generous for the price that three women would have to share a $20 meal. The owner is so kind, and I think this is the cleanest restaurant I've ever seen. I highly recommend this restaurant for its cleanliness, delicious food, value, and friendliness. read more

Very generous portions, especially for the price, if you're looking for some cheap eats. My 12.99 chicken plate is definitely going to be two meals. Location wise, it's not difficult to find and bonus for the parking lot on the back, especially for El Monte. The owner was also super friendly and I'll definitely be coming back when I'm in the area. read more

I came here on my lunch break on a rainy afternoon. There is a small parking lot located behind the restaurant for convenience. There were. few people eating inside but otherwise pretty quiet here. I ordered the chicken ramen and a watermelon green tea (thank you Yelp for the great photos/reviews!) This looked so good and perfect for the rainy day. The chicken ramen was pretty good, the broth isn't too heavy on flavor but they have some condiments inside that you can add. The tea was good, I would say the quality of the cup concerned me a bit as it felt reusable in thickness and perhaps we can look into alternate options a bit better for the planet. Service was friendly and the wait time was only a few minutes. The inside of the restaurant is kept clean and they do not offer outdoor seating. I'd return to try a few more things from the menu. read more

Growing up in the South Bay of Los Angeles is like growing up in a bubble. So when I run into someone from that area & we are both outside of the bubble, it's always a nice surprise. Such is the case here. I was driving back to Torrance from El Monte and decided to stop here because it caught my eye and I love a good Asian beef bowl. That's exactly what I got. The beef was scrumptious, seasoned just right and not overcooked like many a quick turn teriyaki joint. The flavors are authentic to Korea and it was basically like eating very good short ribs over rice, minus the bones. Granted, I have only been here one time, but let's just say I will certainly be back again. They have an extensive teriyaki-style menu with the usual suspects and a very tempting Boba beverage list with some pretty unique looking offerings. I'll be trying one next time for sure. Prices are decent and the owners run the place so they are attentive and qualified. It turns out we knew some of the same people (not really surprised coming from the South Bay bubble.) read more

Tasty Bowl - Salmon teriyaki Salmon Bowl - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

This place has a lot of potential. The value is there, the flavor is almost there. I got the beef and chicken plate with Yelp check-in egg rolls and spicy chicken wings. Beef and chicken plate has a great portion. The rice tastes great (not dry, not mushy; just right). The beef flavor is excellent, but needs more char imo. The chicken has good marinade but really missing that char flavor doesn't make me think of teriyaki. Could be tastier but the meat portion did not disappoint at all. Veggies can be better (they're just plain boiled), but they help contrast the sweet salty aspect of the meats. Enough for two meals or a hungry lunch. Egg rolls are pre-made frozen ones. Tastes great as expected, the sauce was kinda weak. It's like Cantonese red vinegar with soy sauce and sugar, I feel it wasn't balanced well enough. Wings are meatless but really crispy. Even with sauce (meh, bad balance of sweet and salty...idk no spicy), it stayed crispy. There's not enough meat on them wings (I got 6 pcs, 5 were drums and only 1 wing tho..) to go well with the crispy outside. Meh Teriyaki sauce is weird, again bad balance. Too thick without enough boldness. It's not super sweet nor aromatic. It's just thick brown sauce, doesn't sound appetizing right? It isn't. Overall, 3.5 stars but I know this place can get it right. I hope they read this review and revamp or get a new kitchen staff that has taste buds. read more

Not exaggerating when I say this place is outstanding! Best teriyaki chicken bowl I've ever had. Small unassuming corner spot but the food inside is better than 5 star quality. This place has earned my repeat business for sure! It's soooo good! And I love that they're a mom and pop shop, not a big chain. Definitely try them out. The shrimp tempura is fire!! read more

Excellent service and really generous portions. The food also tasted very clean. I'd recommend this spot if you are craving healthier food with large portions. read more

I ordered a basic chicken bowl with avocados and was very disappointed. The pictures looked so good that I had high expectations. However, the taste was bland and the chicken looked interesting to say the least. I didn't even finish the bowl and threw it away. $15 for a small bowl with just chicken and avocados with NO veggies is pretty steep also. I do not recommend. read more

Amazing and tasty food with very reasonable prices! So glad we stumbled into this great family owned businesses near us! Will definitely come back again!!! read more

It was my first time trying Tasty Bowl. The dining area was well kept and looks freshly remodeled. I had a chance to talk to the owner while waiting for my food and he was really friendly and helpful. The sauce on the meats didnt taste like your typical store bought sauces. Theres hints of sweetness from fruit paired with the typical savoryness you would expect from a teriyaki sauce. read more

*Delivered from Postmates They were offering a BOGO free plate, so my bf and I decided to both get their Beef & Shrimp plate - the other being Chicken & Shrimp. I thought the shrimp was nothing special since it was kind of plain. I ate it with the dark sauce they gave, but there was so little, so my bf ended up eating it with the sriracha sauce. The beef, however, was a different story. I believe they used the same sauce as the one they packed on the side, but I wasn't complaining since I enjoyed it. The amount they gave was pretty fair as it was broken up into two meals for me. Although I didn't really have high expectations for this place, I will definitely come/order here again. I will stick to the beef for sure and maybe explore other items on the menu. read more

Tasty Bowl - Beef & Shrimp Plate - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

I have discovered this place a few months ago. I work 3miles away and it's been in the lunch time rotation. Small parking lot in the back and street parking available. I usually phone order and always hot and ready within 10 minutes. The inside is neat and clean. Menu pictures line one side and counter is bright white and clear menu and very friendly and helpful staff. I have on previous visits had the beef, chicken and egg rolls. This particular visit went for the chicken and shrimp and requested all veggies no rice. This plate could've easily been shared since it was huge! They always give good portions of protein but this combo they didn't shy on portions and 6 big shrimp for $16?!!! Get the FUC(funny, useful, cool) out of here! :0) Which I did share with myself. ;0) lol I truly appreciate this place giving me some good protein and veggie options for lunch. This area is filled with a lot of industrial buildings and fast food. Meh. I hope you all enjoy one of my favorite places in SEM. Chicken & Shrimp Plate read more
