🍽️ 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.

Catering Services
Hosting an Event? Rumbi Island Grill Got You Covered
If you’re planning a party, office lunch, or family gathering, Rumbi Island Grill offers catering packages that take the pressure off. Their Luau Buffet starts at 10 people and includes proteins, sides, rice, and cookies—making it easy to customize and serve.
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.
They deliver for larger orders, and if you’ve got guests with food allergies, the staff can walk you through safe options. Note any dietary restrictions when placing your order.
Review – 5 Stars!
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.
