First, the staff is so kind. Very warm, friendly, and attentive. They asked a lot of questions about food allergies and did not hesitate to recommend items based on my preferences. Next, the booth is extremely clean and they took precaution when handling food. I appreciated that a lot. Price: for the area and the fresh food category, you cannot go wrong with the price. The food is extremely fresh and I paid $16 for a very hearty and balanced bowl. Meal: I ordered the warm bowl and selected brown rice with chicken as my protein and a delicious ginger sesame sauce to top it off. This bowl was exactly what I needed. The array of vegetables included: carrots, cabbage, lettuce, and servings of celery. Now image those vegetables being seeped in a tangy sauce with a serving of warm brown rice

There are a lot of good options in this area, but every time I’m in the neighborhood I ALWAYS make a trip to Bandoola bowl. I can’t recommend this spot enough; the food is delicious, refreshing, and filling and the staff are always friendly and incredibly helpful. I usually get a tofu bowl with the spicy Bandoola sauce - the texture of all of the crunchy fresh veggies, crispy toppings, and springy tofu is a delight for the senses, and the super tart, spicy dressing is addicting. If you’ve ever enjoyed a Thai papaya salad, you’ll love this place!

Their bowls are always fantastic, but their customer service is the star of the show. They always greet me with a smile and provide great recommendations! Highly recommend for anyone who wants a quick bite in the area!

I had a chickpea curry bowl over salad and shredded cabbage. This was so fresh and light, great for a summer day. I think there were about 20 total chickpeas, so not enough protein. But it was really good, great flavors and textures. I like their allergen/vegan-friendly labeling. There was a long line but it moved fast and the staff are SO friendly.

The food here is so good, so fresh and I was very impressed! I got a tofu bowl with spicy wheat noodles and enjoyed it so much!
