Cafe Rio Mexican Grill - Orem

Delicious and fun experience. The signatures for beef are INCREDIBLE. It must be the marinade or something (because you cook it yourself), but it is melt in your mouth tender on a level I have never experienced. Greater portions, so I recommend to come with friends, so you can try more items before you fill.

Fun. You have to cook your meat at your table. There are some things to choose, meet wisely. There are appetizers and other items. The Litche Drink was really good.

Wonderful food and fast service. The Beef Bulgogi and Signature Chicken were our favorites. That was our first visit, and we were so impressed that we are definitely back!

Unique restaurant in Orem. There are two others in Utah, in SLC and Millcreek. You can order some items that are cooked in the kitchen, but most are taken to your table to be cooked by you on a propane stove. Dinner is $22 so come hungry to enjoy the all-you-can-eat style of food. You can order about 4 items per round of food. Everyone shares food and then order another round of items. The food is quite delicious, but of course some things are better than others. I do not enjoy the marinated beef short ribs, for example too much fat and grin, but to each of their own. My favorite was the Ombu Signature Beef Tenderloin, that was the last article we had. The restaurant itself is very nice and well equipped. We ate there at 530 on a Wednesday evening and it was not busy until 7, so it was quite quiet and pretty. The service was good. For me, this is the place I could enjoy annually.

I can't say enough good things about Ombu. We were walk-ins on Valentine's Day, and they not only quickly and kindly accommodated us, they gave us bunny ears so we could fit in with the cute celebration! The food is excellent, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is relaxed but fun. We especially loved the fried rice, katsu-style chicken and the Hawaiian beef tenderloin. We will definitely be going back!
