Crystal Bowl

Here from NC on business and needed some food. Maps suggested so I took a chance and boi was I glad to did. Great recommendations while ordering! Bulgogi and a Tropical Sunrise Smoothie. I don't always take pictures of my food. The smell coming from this plate compelled me like a moth to a flame! If you're in the area, try them NOW!

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed. The spicy chicken was extremely mild and bland. Like a 0/10 in spice. Very flavorless and nothing like spicy chicken in Korea. The California wrap was also very very bland. I couldn’t even finish it was that bad for me. Parking is impossible there as well without having to pay $8 for the garage. Sadly, not worth it for me. Spent $40 for 2 entrees I didn’t like plus parking.

I was visiting from our of town and thankfully this little gem was right near my hotel. An Italian sandwich is basically my all time favorite lunch meal and to be able to spot a local sandwich shop that is outside of the chains is always a treat. Crystal Bowl did not dissapoint. Great ambiance when you walk in. Nice and bright, no blaring music, well lit, very clean. There was a super friendly girl at the front who took my customized Italian Sandwich order with a smile. Grabbed some chips and water to enjoy while the sub got freshly made. The sandwich was perfectly sized, not enormous and not too small. Price was great too. My Italian came out exactly as ordered. The ingredients tasting super fresh, the Italian dressing was absolutely AMAZING, and the bread was light and fluffy

I'm staying at the Courtyard across the street, but the reviews for it's restaurant were lackluster, so I stepped over here to the Crystal Bowl. The family who runs this is super friendly, the pancake platter was big, my egg was cooked just right, and the coffee is decent. It's on the ground floor of the building.

Be careful ordering from this place, there are charges for different breads which aren’t listed anywhere on the menu and for anything you add, they will nickel and dime you. Speedy service, but hidden costs that you won’t find out about until you get the receipt.
