My son and I visited this restaurant back when it was called Kobams. We had not been back since it was under new management. We decided to try it a couple weeks ago, but he got sick on his only day off. Bummer for him. Anyway, we went there this week to try it out. It was late Monday afternoon, and we were the only people there. The lady who took our order was very helpful, I think she thought we were a little lost, which we might've been. I had already looked at the menu at home and decided that I was gonna have the goat pepper soup. Unfortunately, they were out of it. Instead, I went ahead and got the isi ewu that my son was going to get. We also got an order of the chicken gizzards as an appetizer. They were really delicious and cooked to perfection in a spicy sauce with pieces of red pepper, green pepper, and onion. While we were eating the gizzards, the server brought us a plate with two puff puffs on it. They were scolding hot. I don't really know how to explain them other than to say they were fried bread balls. The bread was on the sweet side and they were really delicious. When the isi ewu came, it was a bowl full of goat stew. The meat was cooked to the tenderness of a pot roast. It was very rich and greasy. There was an herb used that was unlike anything I had ever tasted. I both liked it and disliked it at the same time. Don't ask me what I mean by that. Overall, the dish was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back so that I can try the goat pepper soup. We both like t jollof rice, too, so we may get a serving of that to split with whatever else we try. If you haven't had African food, you need to get out there and try it. This is the perfect place to do it. The server was so helpful. We felt like we were in a safe zone. Sometimes, when the food is so foreign to us, we don't even know how to order or eat it. No worries here.

As soon as we entered we were welcomed with open arms, the staff were kind and the music was upbeat but not hectic. It added a nice vibe and comfortable environment. So service was a 10/10. The food was simply amazing, it was delicious full with flavor a nice spice to it and vibrancy. We ordered egusi with fufu and it was divine. Definitely going back!

We came here wanting to try Kobams Grill. Still, as we pulled up, we noticed it is no longer in business and has been replaced with a new African/Caribbean restaurant, Ubuntu Cuisine, which just had a grand opening on 4 November. Although the open sign wasn't on, I called the number on the door and found out they were open, so we decided to try this new place. As first-timers for African/Caribbean food, we were pretty pleased with everything we ordered. My picky child surprisingly enjoyed her food, even the goat she shared with my husband. Our 10-year-old enjoyed his fufu with chicken. We ordered four pounded yams (fufu), four Jamaica chicken patty (I wanted to try the beef patty, but they were out), Jollof rice, egusi soup, chicken drumsticks, and vegetable soup, and my husband ordered a side of goat, and he loved it. Everything was delicious (I did not try the goat). Cute table decor. Tons of parking. Excellent customer service and very welcoming staff. We'll be back to try other food items on the menu.

The kimchi fried rice is absolutely delicious and they top it with a poached egg. So good!! I'll admit, not knowing much about this place prior to visiting, I played it safe with my order of the chicken Japanese fried rice. But it was really good. The talk of the table was for sure the duck kimchi fried rice and the jalepeno poppers. The vibe definitely seems like a quaint spot that would do well for a nice dinner. I left off a star because staff / service was a bit slow. Looking forward to trying more menu items on the next visit.

Miyabi Asian Fusion has menu items from multiple eastern countries and blends them into a single menu, which was the draw for us to come explore. We started off with the Korean Chicken for an appetizer and it was OK. It might be unfair to compare local dishes to the stated country, as the ingredients are most likely not the same, or as fresh, but that is the rule of measure I'm using. Ordered the Red Curry Chicken and it was also good, had lots of different veggies inside, but lacked any spice. I like enough spice to make my head sweat, but before my tongue loses all feeling. It did neither. We took on the crispy Texas Roll and the Tiger Roll. Again, good, above average although it was prepared nicely. Wasabi needed a bit more punch, which would have helped. The server was kind and kept our drinks full. Inside dinning had plenty of large wooden booths for larger parties. Overall, I would say this is an above average place and probably would be more of a lunch spot than I would use for a weekend dinner.

I ordered veggie delight with tofu. We ordered our food to go. Portion sizes were large and I received a rice pudding with my order.

The menu photos looked good and the reviews were reviewing so I gave them a try. Glad. I. Did. It was almost 7pm on a Monday when I walked in and it was fairly empty. Some people at a few tables. It's very clean inside. I was greeted and told to sit anywhere. The waitress was very probable and answered all my questions. I even asked her to recommend an appetizer and she did. So with that out the way let's get to the food. Per recommendation I tried the satay chicken appetizer. It was a little different from the menu photo when it come out but the sauce and chicken bites were good. Chicken was very tender. I also ordered the teriyaki chicken and added shrimp with no veggies. It was. DEE. LISH. US. It's the sweeter style teriyaki but not overpowering. Fantastic taste. And a little hint of spice if you get it medium. I burned my tongue I was eating so fast. It came out hot and I devoured it. So good. lol. The sweet tea was awesome too. All around very good. At the end the waitress told me they were fairly new and even asked me for any recommendations on improvement. I said please keep doing what you're doing. Can't wait to try more of the menu.

I was iffy because I've tried curry a couple times before and didn't like it because it has a slight sweetness, but I prefer savory and spicy. The girl at the front was so kind, helpful, and honest with my questions. She told me the Chicken Katsu Curry may have a sweetness, but not a super strong one. So I decided to go with it and make it spice level medium so give me what I like and balance the possible sweetness. I chose everything else on my own, but she did comment that the shrimp tempura was really good and she was not lying!! They put some kind of topping on it and it's amazing. For everything I ordered, it was $36. In my opinion, the pricing was incredible. And I drove all the way from here to my home on the northeast side to eat and everything was still hot and crunchy! So I'm thinking it was made fresh. They put my curry on the side so I could add it myself which was smart thinking! They obviously have a great team. Informative, small wait time after I ordered, beautiful inside, but especially a CLEAN inside. I'm not on this side of town often, but when I am... trust; I will be back. Thank you all so so much! Perfection!
