Atmosphere and Ambiance

Island Vibes in the Heart of Utah

The second you walk into Rumbi Island Grill, the beachy vibe hits you. The teal booths, surf signs, and hanging lights set a laid-back tone—like you stepped off University Parkway and into a coastal cafe. 

The dining area is spacious and clean, offering ample seating for families or quick solo lunches. It’s the kind of place where you can sit and relax without feeling rushed, even during the lunch hour. 


🍽️ Rumbi Island Grill Menu 

Flavorful Choices for Every Taste 

Rumbi Island Grill keeps it simple: choose your protein, sauce, side, and base. Their rice bowls are the main attraction, loaded with options like grilled chicken, luau pork, or tri-tip steak—plus sauces ranging from sweet teriyaki to bold Jamaican jerk. You can build your meal your way, with gluten-free and vegetarian picks available. 

Prices are fair, with full-size bowls around $12.99 and smaller portions for a few dollars less. You can also grab salads, tacos, or one of their island-style burgers if you’re craving something different. It has a similar 'build-your-own' vibe to Bowls Superfoods but with a tropical twist. 

I ordered a sautéed tofu bowl on Rumbi rice, loaded it with steamed veggies, and went heavy on sweet & spicy sauce. Every bite balanced heat, coconut-laced rice, and crisp veg. It left me feeling full, but not heavy. Definitely something I’d order again.

For larger groups, the Combo Luau Buffet offers two proteins and a variety of extras. I recommend calling ahead if you’re feeding a crowd—24 to 48 hours' notice is best. You can order catering online here or call (801) 655-1164 to speak with the team.

Review – 5 Stars! 

Rumbi Island Grill restaurant - one of the best island cuisine and salad restaurant located near Provo Utah...

The food at Rumbi Island Grill came out fast and tasted fresh, and the staff were helpful. I didn’t expect a fast-casual place to nail all three, but they did.  

It’s the kind of spot you can count on—whether you’re rushing through lunch or grabbing dinner with the kids. 

And if you’re in the mood to try something totally different next time, check out That Neighbor Cuisine 1 or Los Hermanos Mexican Restaurant—Provo’s full of flavor!

About the author of Move to Provo Utah Website 

Katerina Gasset

When I moved here I was blessed to have my daughter to help with different things you need to know when you move to a new place. I had background from living here before but things have changed a lot too since the '80s. 

We were able to get all the good places to eat down fast - since she knows all that and we have a lot of the same likes in food. But things like how to turn on my electricity or what power company services my home... well... I was at a total loss! 

I know that other people moving to Provo don't always have family here to guide and help them. And most people don't have a real estate agent who gives them a welcome package on all the important numbers and places they need to know. 

My goal is for this website to be your go to resource for everything you need to know before, during, and after you move here to Provo, Utah. I want you to have the best experience and love living here as much as I do
