I reviewed this place back 2013. Back then I was impressed by the low prices and the good tasting food. Since then many places have come and gone but Bowl to Go is still here. I tried my favorite dish the rib plate with drink.
Ribs were chewy and my teeth weren’t up breaking down many of the pieces. I would have used an acidic marinade to break down the meat before cooking. Nice flavor from the slight char and sauce. I prefer the ribs at the local Hawaiian plate lunch spots like Island Style Cafe or Homestyle Hawaiian. Price has gone up from $9.39 to $12.99. Now it’s priced the same as Island Style Cafe.
I did enjoy the Barq’s Root Beer. Sweet with a little bite to it.
2nd visit I ordered a beef bowl to go. Cute lunch size meal for $8.50 including tax. Rice was moist and had a nice jasmine rice flavor. Beef was tender and had a delicious teriyaki flavor.
The prices have gone up a bit but the bowls are still a good deal and I like the beef bowl alot. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Your food looks very yummy!
You should try the chicken bowl!
I used to come here during lunch breaks many years ago. Is it still the same Asian owner? She was so nice. That’s unfortunate the galbi was too tough. Looks like decent portion. Did you drive all the way there from your work? I remember parking being a nightmare during midweek lunch.
I’m not sure who the owner is. There was a nice woman there. I drove there from my place. There was parking right when they opened.
