We decided to go here because I found a two for one coupon. I had the chicken teriyaki with brown rice and it was very good. The veggies were delicious and tasted very fresh. I ordered the full size bowl and there was definitely enough food for two people. While we were eating, there was a worker there that kept sweeping the floor right by our table, which was incredibly annoying. It would have been a better atmosphere if she had waited until we were done eating to sweep under the tables. But o'well, it was still a good lunch.

Good fresh food at a decent price fries are so-so Chips and salsa good....sometimes The tortilla soup is awesome and different, made with coconut milk. Sounds weird, but delicious.

I have this app on my phone that lists the places near you where kids eat free on specific days. It's usually full of sub-par diners, but when I saw Rumbi's listed, I had to jump on yelp to see what people had to say. Mixed reviews, so I took a quick peek at the menu, it sounded good, so we decided to check it out. The restaurant was fairly clean and a few other families were eating when we got there. We perused the menu longer than we usually do but we didn't feel in the way or rushed in any way. They have everything from rice and noodle bowls to burgers to sandwiches to seafood. It was hard to decide. I ordered the fish tacos and polished off the whole plate in no time. The order came with two tacos (type of fish not specified) and rice with beans. I seriously ate it so fast that I can't tell you what all was in it. Pretty sure the salsa was tomato, onion, pineapple, and cilantro. There may have been cabbage, and a jalapeno ranch type sauce. Don't quote me on it though. The rice and beans were really good and scented but I couldn't pinpoint the flavor. Very good though. Husband had the Kahuna burger (two patties, pineapple, swiss, typical burger toppings) with the Rumbi fries (regular and sweet potato). The burger fell apart as most doubles do. He really enjoyed it though. Kids had the chicken dippers and the orange-honey chicken bowl. I was surprised that both kids polished their food off since dinnertime can be somewhat of a battle. As we were finishing up it started to get busy so we got there at a good time (right before 6pm). I can't wait to go back.

I've never been to a restaurant where I spit the food back out. What I bought was a terriyaki chicken bowl with rice and noodles with veggies. It tasted like a boxed microwave diet dinner. Cubed chicken, frozen veggies, spaghetti noodles from a box id buy at the store, and sauce I could make ten times better in my own home. If a place can mess up such an easy dish, then it's poor quality. There's nothing Hawaiian about this place. The customer service was nice, but that's about it. Go to jack in the box for their terriyaki bowl to save money.

One of my favorite lunch destinations. Everything I've tried here is great, I'm surprised it's not busier than it is. We can usually get right in most any time. Their sweet potato fries are amazing and anything with their aioli sauce on it is to die for! Voodoo Chicken Salad... you rock!

Joseph M.

Just got in from FL. Here for three weeks, definitely coming back. Pork luau plate was heavenly, Mac salad was perfect. Rumbi island grill is #winning for your stomach and soul

Jasmine B.

I have always like Hawaiian food and these guys have really good food! There prices are good. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very friendly and can be a good place for families and for dates.

William L.

Ok been coming here for years, very clean, comfortable, and a relaxing place to eat. You order before you sit down and they bring your meal out to your table. Rumbi's is an Island Themed Restaurant ... as is their menu. The quality is a a giant step above fast food and the service is fast. I mainly dine here at lunch but they are also open for dinner. No tips required which saves you money. You have to check this place out for yourself to "get the feel". Highly recommended.

Joan G.

They finally added my favorite item to the menu. The pineapple coconut curry bowl was a "special" item and they got rid of it for a few weeks and brought it right back on the main menu. It is delicious. Very good. The orange bowl with noodles is also very good. I highly recommend the sweet potato fries as well. The people working here are always friends. Can't wait till the weather cools down to sit out on the patio. Portions on everything are large and well worth the price.

Christine P.

I like this place more and more everytime I go. They send lots of email coupons for buy one get one free meals which makes it even tastier! I am updating because I had the sweet potatoe fries! They were amazing and I love the dipping sauce they bring for them. I always feel like I get my money worth here because the portions are so huge that I get two meals out of the bowls. I get to enjoy the meal again the next day for lunch! I tried the fish recently as well. It was good. I was trying to eat healthier so I gave it a go. The seasoning was really good and they let me get the coconut flavored rice and beans with it which is always very tasty.

Scott M.

My wife and I have eaten at the Val Vista and Baseline location probably 5 times over the past 12 months. The food is good and reasonbly priced. I usually get the Volcano Chicken Sandwich and my wife likes the Cabo Fish Tacos. Both are fantastic. The sweet potato fries are the best around and we love the dipping sauce. Most of the time the employees are very nice and the place seems to be clean. The food seems very fresh and we have never had a long wait. I would definitely recommend trying Rumbi's.

Coffeecake Y.

Absolutely delicious Hawaiian food! I come here very often and always enjoy it. By far, the best thing to get, especially if it's your first time in, is a rice bowl. There is a lot of variety in them! You can choose the meat and sauce, either white rice, brown rice, rumbi rice (rice cooked with coconut and red beans), or noodles, and it comes with cooked veggies. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken with white rice. I would also recommend getting the full size bowl since it is almost double the size for only about a dollar more. I can usually eat half and take the rest home! The macaroni salad is very good and I would definitely choose this over the coleslaw, which doesn't have a lot of flavor in my opinion. The sweet potato fries & fry sauce are a must-try. The pork is also very delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice and relaxed but has the feel of a sit down place. The workers are all very nice and extremely helpful! They have been great every time I stop in. I bring friends and family all the time, and they always love it! In general a great place to eat.

Karen M.

Meh. Nothing special. Some of the chicken is undercooked. Some is dry. I'm unlikely to return unless they improve their recipes. I did receive good service at the counter, but the food was not good.

Will L.

Average food, great service. To go order: Ordered jerk seasoned chicken it came out plain. And instead of jerk sauce was given teriyaki. Overall ok if you want something quick. Sadly with so many options in this area it would be nice if they stepped up the good flavors.

Kent M.

Came to Rumbi for dinner with my 9 year old. The ambience was nice and the service great! We had our Rumbi fries in minutes. Our meal came a couple minutes after the fries. Fries were good but not hot fresh like right out of frier. I really like the fries sauce. Very sweet and smooth in texture. Meals presentation is very good. My fish tacos "Cabo Fish Tacos" had a nice spread of color! They tasted great, but wished there was a bit more fish in the taco. The Rumbi rice is a sticky rice with herbs and beans. Taste today was ok. My 9 year old got kids meal Cheese Burger. That burger was huge and thick in cheese. He was full and so was I. Overall good experience! Not my first time and I will continue to return. If you like burgers this place makes them fresh and huge.

Jason R.

The Jamaican jerk salad and sweet potatoe fries are awesome. There my favorites. Nice friendly staff.

Lilli F.

I really love this place! Ask why I haven't done a review? I thought I had a long time ago, but anyways - been coming here for years with my family. Kids eat free on Mondays & Tuesdays after 4pm is a plus since I have a couple of kids 12 & under. The ambiance is relaxing with its island theme, and the staff is so nice and we've never had a problem in the years we've been coming with them or with the food! Another plus is that it's casual dining, but to me, not fast food so that's awesome! So the food: My go to salad always, always, always is the Calypso Salad. Delicious chicken pieces, fresh spinach & mandarin orange slices, red onions, walnuts, crumbled cheese (feta?) with the drizzle of an amazing dressing. Very filling & costs about $8. The kids go with either the mini burger or cheeseburger, or the honey orange chicken with rice & what I recently found out was that you can get the option of a bigger order for adults in either a half bowl or full one. So my soon to be 13yr old daughter will most likely go with that! My older boys (16 & 19) never get anything but the scintillating Kahuna burger that's topped with a pineapple slice & teriyaki sauce served with fries, the Beach burger, or the outrageously tasty Cabo tacos with your choice of protein & side dish (white, brown or Rumbi rice). The hubs usually orders a full rice bowl with perfectly cooked veggies and really, it changes each time we visit regarding both the protein & sauce, so let's just say he loves every one of the bowls!! Lvastly I want to mention even yummier things like the Rumbi fries. Hello? A crispy, non-greasy, flavorful basket of both regular fries & crinkly cut sweet potato fries. OMG with the Rumbi sauce... I've got to have this each time I visit & I snack on these with my salad. I should branch out of my comfort zone & try other things, but I'm spoiled at the delicious items I already order each time!

Stepped into the Rumbi Island Grill for lunch. The interior is cute with fake palm trees and other island themed decor. The menu is on a digital screen and there are a lot of different options for you to choose from. I decided on a half bowl of luau pork with jerk sauce and white rice. The meal arrived quickly, and had a nice presentation. There was a good balance of veggies and meat and the bowl had enough rice to go with it. The pork and sauce was too salty for my tastes though so I had to eat it with a lot of the rice and veggies to dilute out the saltiness. At lunchtime it was moderately busy, not overly crowded. In addition to inside seating, there's a nice little patio for eating outdoors.

Elton Y.

I love this place the burgers are or was the best in town which surprised us because it's a island grill. But Lately the buns have been hard dry and not good at all. Maybe they got a deal on buns but what a mistake. I will try it one more time after a couple of months and see if they smarten up and go back to the original delicious buns they had before.

Jenny H.

I can't seem to tear myself away from the fish tacos to try something else. They're THAT good. Whoever's writing bad reviews has not tried them. And their beans and rice. YUM. Great service. Love them.

It's been awhile since we've been here. Last time was in May 2013. My husband has been a Rubio's kick for months now but I just couldn't go to Rubio's as much as I love them because we've been there TOO many times. After we dropped the kids off at karate, we decided to go to the Val Vista & Baseline area to see what there was to eat that was different. My husband is super picky and really doesn't like to try new places. He thought I was tricking him, but I assured him that we had been there once before. When we stepped into the place, it was probably just starting to get a little busy. Not a problem. There was an older woman that helped up and advised us, which was super helpful. I wasn't very hungry and just wanted a salad, but more than a side salad. She said I could always get a regular salad and half that. They would bring me out half and To Go the other half. Perfect. She said all the salads were good and they allow for changes and substitutions. So, I got the Aloha Mango Salad with pulled pork. They put the dressing on the side, which was wonderful, because the pork had so much flavor, I didn't need much dressing. It was so delish. My husband got the Luau Pork Place with Rumbi Rice (this is a coconut rice with red beans). It came with some island macaroni salad, pulled pork, an Asian slaw, and the Rumbi Rice. My husband doesn't like slaw, so he gave this to me. I love slaw, but I didn't care for this too much as it didn't have a whole lot of flavor. It needed more sauce or something. The rice was very coconuty flavor. We LOVE coconut and it had just enough red beans. There was also a side of teriyaki sauce, which my husband didn't need to put too much as it was super sweet. We also ordered their Rumbi fries, which is a mixture of sweet potato fries and regular straw like fries, with a slightly spicy like sauce that appeared to be like a mixture of Russian & Thousand Island. It was good, but we used sparingly. The sweet potato fries were so yummy and the best I've ever had. Normally I don't like sweet potato fries, but I loved these. These even beat out Joe's Farm Grill's sweet potato fries. Not greasy at all. The fries was a really big portion for $3. I only had 1/2 a salad, water with lemon, some of the fries and a little of my husband's food. Was totally stuffed. The portions are pretty good, but thankfully not like Claim Jumper's. The food is delicious and very colorful. The staff is very friendly and helpful, great attitude and wonderful customer service. The place was clean. And though we sat somewhat near the door, I didn't feel the coldness of the outside come in when anyone opened the door, so that was good. It was a lovely date with great food. We'll have to bring the kids here as it says kids eat free after 4 pm on Monday/Tuesday. I wonder what age they mean by kids, as we have an 11 and a 14 year old. Hope it's 15 and under. :)

Mark O.

Never a bad meal, spicy sauce is great. Not sure why they aren't famous. They are famous with me.

Robert G.

Food has no taste whatsoever,i can cook thw same tasteless food at my place,nothing special!

Eric V.

I love this place! Their Kalua Pork Sandwich is honestly better than any that I ever ate during my two month vacation in Hawaii. Hawaii is known for their kalua pork. I ate it all over the state during my time there. On pizza, on sliders, on plates, on sandwiches . . . none of it as good as what Rumbi Grill serves. I love the bbq sauce that accompanies it too. A great sandwich!

Cynthia B.

I've been and the website or the yelp entry of this restaurant says it closes at 10 so I went at 8:50 and it was already closing and the doors were locked but it closed at 9 so really the doors should not have been locked and that has happened twice. Then I came by during the day at 2:30 and it was closed even though it was supposed to be open. Love the food Sooo much but the service is questionable.

Kelly P.

You can't beat their sweet potato fries, best of anywhere I've been. I'm sad to see they took the Caribbean chicken salad off their menu. That was all I ever ordered. :(

Marcos C.

For the kind of fast causal place that it is, it deserves 5 stars in that category. Fast and fantastic food!

Lacey R.

The girl behind the counter was rather rude to the man in front of my husband and I and she wasn't very friendly to us either. The food was extremely salty and plain. We won't be returning.

Andrea B.

Good food, love the Hawaiian decor! Really like the chicken rice bowls with the spicy teriyaki sauce. The vegetables they have on them are really good too. Casual atmosphere...great place to go when you don't want fast food, but don't want to go to a big sit down restaurant. My 16 year old son loves it!

Kristen M.

We have been coming Rumbi for years. It's what I call "slow fast food". You go up to the counter and order your food. They then give you a number to place on your table and they will bring it to you in 5-10 minutes. The rice bowls have a ton of food and I always have enough for lunch the next day. I've also had their chicken sandwich....delicious! They also have sweet potato fries which is always a plus in my book! Their tropical salsa is homemade and fantastic! I would definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Mondays and Tuesdays are kids eat free. A meal will run you around $10 and is well worth it!

Lacey H.

First time trying this place. We couldn't decide if we wanted to go to chipotle, cappriottis, or 5 guys. My husband was making me decide so I said fine we are going to Rumbi. He told me he would choke me out if it wasn't good since we were going off the reservation. It turned out to be really really good so no one call the cops. I ordered the cabo fish tacos and he had the Jamaican jerk chicken bowl. We both had the Rumbi rice which has coconut flavor and some beans in it. We also had chips and mango salsa. The mango salsa was on the fish tacos as well. It was all so so good. We will definitely be back. Oh, when you get your drink, there is a button on the machine where you can put vanilla and cherry flavoring in your soda. The place itself has tropical island decor and that's what I wanted it to have. Also seemed to be clean too. Neither of us could eat all our food but they have to-go boxes at the counter. Found a new place to love.

Nicole S.

Take out is much faster since my last review! Love their Rumbi Stamp card too - who doesn't love free food?!

Marsella M.

Well apparently I have been missing out! Rumbi is only about 5 minutes from my house and work but I never thought to eat there until this week, at the suggestion of a co-worker. You know how sometimes you just need to get out of the office for lunch, but you don't have much time... and if you're trying to eat healthy the options get pretty limited. Rumbi to the rescue! I had a very good chicken & spinach salad which I was able to customize with no cheese, vinaigrette dressing on the side, etc. so that it was only around 420 calories. They also had several bowls with lean meat, brown rice, veggies and even sandwiches for around 500 calories. And the food was tasty, not diet-y! While we were eating we all wondered, "why haven't we been having lunch here all along?" Situation rectified - Rumbi is on the lunch list from now on.

Charissa G.

Love this place!!! Its amazing, We like the Grilled Chk and Shrimp meal, The grilled Mahi Mahi Fish Dinner, The Rumbi rice is quite tasty too. We love the sweet potato fries and the yummy dipping sauce. Fresh cooked to order, tasty and a clean restaurant with friendly staff. A must try!!

Melissa K.

Um. What did I miss? They have such great reviews but my experience was just "meh". I provably should have known better then to order entrée seafood at a fast food type place, but the picture was really appetizing! Volcano blackened mahi. Waaaaay too salty. Had to scrape off most of it. The fish underneath was OK fresh. Not ocean fresh, but Arizona fresh. :-) I had veggies that I thought would be steamed but were definitely stir fried. Also OK fresh. The biggest let down of this was the "mango cheesecake". I was expecting some kind of mango inside the cheesecake, but, alas, it was just plain old cheesecake with.... get this... "mango puree" on the side. It was a thimble full of mango juice. And fake mango juice at that. *sigh* I would eat here again, but I will definitely lower the bar before I do.

Ross A.

Some of the best burgers you can find around. Hands down. I found this place out a year ago and go back when I can. Business seems to be picking up cause I now find it pretty busy during afternoons and evenings. This establishment totally deserves it too. I recommend the Kahuna burger or Rumbi burger. Both are amazing, and come with the secret "Rumbi" sauce.

Alia M.

So I got a salad from here just now, and I ordered shrimp on the Caribbean Salad. Got my salad to-go and paid and extra $1.50 for the shrimp, get home to eat my salad and there are 7 tiny little pieces of dried out, over cooked shrimp. Why did I pay extra for that?!? Sucks too, because before this incident I really liked this place.

Allyson M.

I ordered the blackened salmon with Rumbi rice and sweet potato fries. It was yummy! My husband and kids liked their food too. The staff was incredibly nice and I'll be going back!

Katie E.

Beautiful decor and delicious food. Great for a laid back night out or take out. Patio seating is perfect on nice nights. The color scheme and great posters make me miss Maui. The iced tea is amazing and the portions are huge, we always have leftovers. No matter what I get I love it. I'm partial to the chicken rice bowl with Hawaiian teriyaki sauce over Rumbi rice. The rice, beans, and coconut in the Rumbi rice is addicting, you've been warned. Just tried the luau pork for the first time too and loved it. The macaroni salad isn't completely what I like, too tart like normal mac salad and not plate lunch quality, but that's personal preference. Mama's tortilla soup is also incredible, a mix of spicy and savory with a hint of coconut milk. They're slow on weeknights when we're usually there, hopefully busier on the weekends, I'd hate for them to go anywhere.

Bruce A.

Good place. Not sure I would call it Island food, unless you think anyplace that has water around it is an Island. It is a mix of Hawaiian and Polynesian food. The food was good and the staff friendly. I will try it again now that I now what to expect.
