Best rice bowl: Yum Yum Rice Bowl at World Street Kitchen - Best of MN 2016

April 15, 2016 at 8:13PM

Culinary historians will one day look back at WSK's Yum Yum Rice Bowl — and yes, that enthusiastic name is no exaggeration — as the origin of the local rice bowl phenomenon. Yes, the lamb belly variation is phenomenal, and, yes, chef Sameh Wadi underscores his considerable vegetarian chops with a tofu version. But the one that places Korean-style short ribs ($12.75) in the starring role, then adds pungent kimchi, is clearly the umami-laden bowl to beat. 2743 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls., 612-434-8855, eatwsk.com
