Located in the HUB, I first tried Hibachi-San's Poke bowl in January 2019. I had the vegetarian option with tofu, and the following week I enjoyed tofu, watermelon and beets! Next I discovered their musubi breakfast bowl, and had sweet egg for my protein (instead of spam). With a mix of white and brown rice, this became my go-to rice bowl! The musubi breakfast bowl was not on their menu, and depending on when they received their order, it was not always available. When offered, it was only available until 10:30 a.m. January 2020, I was told it was discontinued, and March 2020 campus closed due to COVID-19. I finally returned March 2024, and still no more sweet egg. They were out of tofu a few days in a row while campus had just re-opened for spring quarter, and I felt sorry for the vegetarian students who live on campus. UCR severely lacks healthy options for students and staff in general. Now the only vegetarian protein is tofu, so protein for small bowls is 2x tofu, medium 3x tofu, large 4x tofu. Note that the menu at UCR Dining's website is severely outdated, showing $10.50 for a small bowl, $12 for a regular and $13.50 for large, when for 2025 the small bowl is $12.90. If they can't bring back sweet egg or the watermelon & beets, tempeh would be perfect additional vegetarian option to offer all day. All that being said, I had given Hibachi-San 4 stars because they offer great toppings (to help make up for the lack of variety of vegetarian protein), they have a tasty spicy mayo sauce, and the small bowls are filling. Feb and March 2025 I took home his & hers poke bowls for dinner, for hubs Teriyaki sauce and I got my usual spicy mayo. I returned in April to do the same, and the cashier asked if I was OK that the Teriyaki contains bone broth(!) When I asked for soy sauce I was given 2 packets which was just enough for a small bowl. It is not standard for Teriyaki to contain bone broth, it is just a thickening agent. The menu does not state this, and I would not have known to ask. I can't believe all the times I ordered 2x tofu, no one else thought to mention the bone broth. 6 years after my first poke bowl, that might have been my last. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Order type: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Recommended dishes: Passion Fruit Green Tea and Breakfast Bowl, Poke Bowl, Breakfast Bowl with Sweet Egg, Green Milk Tea and Breakfast Bowl Recommendation for vegetarians: Not sure Vegetarian offerings: Not sure Vegetarian options: The poke bowl with base and toppings is vegetarian, but the only vegetarian protein is tofu. So for small bowls 2x tofu, regular 3x tofu, large 4x tofu. The Teriyaki sauce contains bone broth. Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid parking lot
$$$$ Price range per person $10-$20
