Yaki Bowl

As an appetizer, I ordered an egg roll, while Mike selected crab Rangoon, which he kindly shared with me.

For our entrees, Mike, William and I all ordered the Super Yummy teriyaki chicken with chicken, cabbage, onion, pineapple, green pepper, teriyaki sauce, dragon sauce and fried rice. Again, all Southerners know that anything fried just tastes better. Everything was really tasty.

Lee, who ordered what’s known as the dinner bowl, picked out chicken, beef, cabbage, egg, onions, broccoli, spices and sauces. Lee said that his meal was delicious.

Besides our amazing appetizers, Yaki Bowl also offers diners spring rolls, fried or steamed dumplings, corn nuggets, fried scallops and French fries, among others.

Yaki Bowl serves other Super Yummy classic stir-fry dishes, some of which include Warriors chicken with Udon, Mongolian Empire, teriyaki beef. shrimp & veggies and Asian beef.

Yaki Bowl is open seven days a week. The restaurant is open on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Monday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; on Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
