Rumbi Island Grill

I find myself landing here when I want variety. All chicken dishes are solid. Mahi Mahi is alright considering that Rumi isn’t a seafood resturant. Prices are high. ish IMO or I would add a star.

Great flavors, very nice staff. Clean dining room, will eat here again on my next visit.

For 13 dollars Id expect more than two small tacos on a large plate with nothing else but rice on the rest of it. It tastes good but at least give me 3 tacos and less rice for that price!

Considering how fast the service is… Rumbi Grill delivers a pretty solid product. The seating area is consistently clean and the self serve station isn’t a complete mess. Perhaps it is my island background… but I’m a fan of both their Kalua Pork and Mahi Mahi plates. The vibe is quality fast food so don’t go in expecting too much and you’ll leave plenty happy.

As long as your expectations are low, this place won’t disappoint … much.
I ordered the Volcano-​blackened mahi atop caesar salad, and received salmon. C’mon, how can you mix up mahi with salmon? Not wanting them to mess-​up anything else, I just ate what was served, and it was good, not great. I’m pretty sure it was just your typical farm-​raised fare.
Friends had fish tacos, but they weren’t too memorable, slightly below average taste.
The tortilla soup is probably the safest and better of the dishes that night, though it leaned a bit toward the salty side.
Overall, nothing will burst in your mouth. I didn’t get sick, so feel free to use this place just to fill your appetite, but not to entertain your taste buds.

I’m trying to get more excited about what Rumbi does, but it’s kinda tough. I’m not down on it – it’s different than your average burger chain or sandwich stop. So I give them lots of cred for that. But it’s not exactly making my engine rev up, and I think a lot of it centers around the price.
Look – I’m willing to pay a few bucks for my lunch. Especially when it’s unique and different. So I was ready to so that the other day at Rumbi when I sauntered in. Most things on the menu run somewhere near the the $ 7 – 8 dollar mark, but when I saw the rice bowls (the main attraction here) leave the kitchen, I’m not sure I saw seven or eight bucks on the tray. Do you know what you can get for eight bucks? I’ve purchased an incredible tie for less than that at a vintage shop in San Francisco. A pair of old cufflinks. Two banh mi. That great big 64-​pack of crayons. And many other random items.
I was in a bind and so I got a simple chicken sandwich. It was still in the six buck range, but it was a delicious bird. Not six bucks delicious, but close enough.
This parking lot is hopping on Saturdays with lots of shoppers competing for space around the development. Maybe I’m a cheapskate (maybe=probably) but tasty food aside, I’ll probably trim a few bucks off the budget and save them up for a 3-​pack of multi-​colored argyle socks.
