In fact, I found Rumbi's portions a bit skimpy all around considering both their cost and what you get for the same money at similar restaurants. My half-bowl wasn't very big at all, and the kids' meals are small, as well. We typically do fine when ordering two kids' meals for the three girls, but that wasn't enough at Rumbi, and they ended up eating our food.

To finish we shared a refreshing mango "Island cooler," billed as a smoothie but more like a slush, and three of Rumbi's big, soft cookies in oatmeal-raisin, peanut butter-chocolate chip and M&M.

Rice bowls $6.29-$7.29, salads $7.29, sandwiches $6.29-$6.59, entrees $7.99-$8.49, sides and extras 99 cents-$2.99, soup $2.59-$4.59, kids' meals $3.29.
