Reviews for Rocket Bowls in Edwardsville, IL
Clearly I'm not in their target market. Even now, I still don't know what "kind" of restaurant it is. The food is flavorful... for sure. But upon entry you'll notice there are only three small tables with two chairs each. The logo'd interior doormat isdirty. Like, never been vacuumed, dirty. Evidently, someone started to wash the windows because the soapy water drips we'redried in place. Before I attempted to place my order, I told the casher, "This is our first time here so we really don?t knowwhat what to order." She just smiled and waited for my order. I asked, "what is a Yakiudon?" She said, "I really couldn't tellyou." I said, ?Reading the menu, I still can?t tell what kind of restaurant this is.? She hesitated and said, ?uhm Korean orsomething?? We placed a food order but the fountain soda machine is broken and they?re out of tea. We had a choice of Pepsi orDiet Pepsi in bottles. Fine, we like both. Once seated at our wobbly table, I kept my foot on a leg to keep it level as wewaited. And waited. I?m not sure what took so long. Between the loud Ariana meets Trance Rock music, I could hear, at least,two people in the kitchen. Finally. My wife?s ?bowl? arrived in a plastic to-go dish with plastic wrapped white plastic fork,spoon, knife and napkin. (A la KFC). Her noodles were tasty but too heavy for her tiny fork. We continued to wait for mine. Finally my ?bowl? arrived in a styrofoam carry-out container. My piece of salmon was delicious! The sweet potato fries werepretty good. But the cold cheese sitting atop the Hawaiian? corn wasn?t great. Unsure wether or not to bus my own table, Inoticed an office sized waste can with styrofoam balancing on it. I added ours to the Zen Rock Art?ish trash heap. I wassurprised to discover the anti-bacteria liquid squirt machine was operational. Dirty but functioning. We were expectingsomething between Crazy Bowls and Wraps and Wang Gang Asian. IMO, both are better than Rocket Bowls. Again, I Read more
Rocket Bowls is very good! I love the chicken Bulgogi sandwich and my daughter loves their sesame chicken with the Korean cheese... corn. Service is always fast, friendly and the food always tastes fresh! Read more

I have to rave about this place. I was driving by and saw the Rocket Bowl logo and decided to give it a try. Oh boy! I was in... for a treat. Friendly staff and the bowl was amazing! Typically when I get Asian style bowls there tends to be more fat on thechicken or beef than actual meat. Not with this place nothing but chicken!! Zero fat! Broccoli cooked to perfection and don?tget me started on their Hawaiian Mac. Loved it! Read more
Staff was very friendly and explained the menu thoroughly. The food was hot and fresh. Great flavors and large portions.
Upon entering I was greeted by the friendly staff and instantly knew I was about to have an incredible experience. I told the... cashier it was my first time and he explained the entire menu to me, giving several recommendations. I settled on a shrimp bowland was not disappointed. After a short 3-5 minute wait the food was done. The fried rice was some of the best I?ve ever had,the sides of sweet potatoes and broccoli were perfect, and the shrimp was incredible. I will most definitely be coming back! Read more
My husband and I ordered through Doordash tonight and were really pleased. He got the spicy pork and cheese corn and I got the... bulgogi bowl, Hawaiian Mac and crab sticks. I have zero complaints. The food was warm, it had flavor, and we both finished ourmeal with empty containers. Would order again for sure Read more
Had a great meal at Rocket Bowls. Eric cooked my salmon to perfection, and the sweet potatoes had the best crunch. Will return!!
