The menu displayed in front of the counter is quite fancy, and the image of the signature original rice bowl only shows half of the bowl. Because of this, I wasn’t able to spot it when placing my order. …

Meatball rice is very dry, got sick and tired of the taste very fast. Rice is hard to dry with no sauce. Very little eggs and brocoli, n they are also very dry. Absolutely not worth the long waiting time and price point. Can't finish this, wasted time and money, not recommended!

A healthy rice bowl place! I tried the original rice bowl at $8.80, with sambal mayo sauce. Overall, good spread of ingredients with meat & veges. Meatball is seasoned more heavily, while tofu is lighter. Found the overall taste to be on the lighter side though, not enough sauce for the whole bowl. Would prefer more!
