This was my first time trying Banzai Bowls, and I was a little disappointed. On the menu it lists strawberries or blueberries as included in most bowls. So when I went to order the "Da Kine" bowl, I was surprised when the cashier informed me that "it only comes with bananas so do you want to add strawberries and/or blueberries." I wasn't informed that it would be extra, or how much extra it would be to get the bowl made the way it's listed on the menu. The same thing for my boyfriend's açaí bowl that "only comes with bananas." Turns out, it's $1.50 each to add any berry. It felt icky to pay extra just to get it made the way it's listed on the menu. I don't like being misled, and there are better smoothie bowls in the same vicinity that I'll be revisiting as opposed to this one.

The OG bowl

Quality açaí bowls. They recently made changes to their menu so some toppings don't reflect what you get. Staff is mostly younger and a little dazed but I think that is the beach vibes the place gives.

A delicious sweet treat with added benefit of being good for you! The fruits were sweet and the açaí was smooth. Although I prefer my açaí more on the creamy soft serve than smoothie side this bowl was delicious and just the pick me up I needed. A friend and I split the large and we both felt full after so I would say this is a pretty good sized portion. The honey and coconut flakes made for a crunchy and sweet bite! Enjoy your bowl both inside and outdoors as there is a bunch of seating.

Cravings satisfied for an acai bowl!! Loved it. Super fresh and tasty -- adding peanut butter made it even better. Placed an online order and it was ready just in time.

Every now and then I get a banzai bowl craving. I usually always get the off the wall bowl. This is a perfect treat for a hot summer day but definitely be prepared to wait. We waited 30 mins for our bowls. They seemed to be understaffed and they didn't have lids for the bowls.

This place is so cute, gives super beach vibes. I love pitaya bowls and let me tell you they really make these wonderful as someone who's tried many! The price also can't be beat!

Off the Wall Bowl
Tammy B.

Off the wall 10/10- this is my favorite açaí bowl hands down and I love açaí so this is huge. I specifically love banzai bowls because they blend their açaí with fresh juice and fruits. This specific bowl the açaí is blended with guava juice, bananas, strawberries, and dark chocolate. It's topped with coconut flakes, kiwi, bananas, granola, and honey. It's literally so good. I love how the dark chocolate blended gives a little bit of texture to the açaí base. Their granola is also fantastic- my favorite granola, and they put it at the bottom of the bowl too which is great. It's incredibly fresh and so revitalizing. Truly no other açaí bowl compress- I have to get this pretty much EVERYTIME I'm back in Orange County. Instagram: @hungrytamale

Banzai is the classic OC acai bowl. Always so refreshing, large portions. Perfectly sweet and always satisfy the craving. I love the tropical style bowls. My favorite açaí bowl in town. Staff are friendly. Ambiance is a beachy vibe.

Banzai Bowl and Pupukea Bowl. So yum!!
Michael S.

Okay! I don't particularly remember this place, as I was in La La LAnd, which means that a copious amount of memory-erasing liquor was probably (definitely) consumed. Anywaaaaay! These things are pretty cut'n'run, and they all are pretty much the same to me, and pretty much fantastic! However, I always make the stupid mistake of adding as much junk as I can cuz I don't have self control, OKAY?! Yes, it's a problem. No, I am not working on it. Fight me! Seeing a lot of complaints about the employees, but I thought everything was just swell. Though I would love to always hear the other side of the story to see if these complaints are really legit or not ;)

Best bowls hands down . No fake sorbet , equally ingredients . Fast service made to order. House made peanut butter , raw local honey . Can't beat quality

Pupukea Pitaya Bowl
Susan O.

I have honestly tried so many acai places in SoCal and Banzai Bowls is my favorite thus far. The pitaya bowls are my personal preference, specifically the Pupukea bowl. The bowls here are SO filling, even with the smallest size which is what I usually order because they fill it nearly all the way to the top which I highly appreciate. This location is a cute spot in the corner of a shopping center, with seating available both inside and outside. The service is also super quick and the staff is kind!

The New Large Maui Sunrise

Sorry to do this but when did a Large become so small? Person at the counter said they have a new fill line but looks to me that this was a small but charged for a Large

How many oz are the small and big bowl?

Is your number correct on here as I've tried calling 4 times and it just rings for 5 minutes and then says the call can't be completed?

I keep getting a busy signal. I don't understand why

This place was quite a surprise for me. I except it to be so expensive compared to other brunch…read moreplaces but it was about the same or even cheaper. The quality of the food was great and I appreciate how clean the ingredients were. With that it also made the food almost dry. Seemed like they only had one server and she was so sweet when she helped us but we didn't see her often. It was a quiet and calm in there.

This review is aimed a the horrible restaurant service. I've run restaurants a couple times in my…read morelife, and I'm always in shock how disgusting this place is. You routinely find tables covered in at least one previous customers mess. The non-waiters ALWAYS attempt to place your table mat on top of the previous patrons toxic spill. Getting anyone to ask you if you want anything is a miracle. The food takes forever to be brought out, not made, but brought out. How can one tell? Because its so often cold. Beautifully made, but cold. If a Health Inspector attempted to eat lunch here, they'd be cited and possibly shut down until they could prove they have a staff trained to keep the place clean. CORPORATE: You need to GUT the staff. Hire people with experience serving people. People who know how to hustle for a tip. We will reward them well. The mystery of how so many Mother's have closed has been solved. Seal Beach, Manhattan Beach, it all makes sense now. Your competitors have moved in with SERVICE. Stop hiring entitled rich kids. A players hire A players. B players hire D players. Which are you?

Another great Vibe location!…read more Love this place, fabulous food for anyone gluten or dairy free. Delicious dessert, indulging brunch, filling lunches, and friendly staff. One of my favorite restaurants! Great for relaxing and catching up with friends.

This one hurts to write…read more I love supporting vegan restaurants where I can order anything without worrying about the ingredients. Even though this place is pricey I happily supported it because it stood for something. Now that it's no longer vegan, it feels like a completely different place. Seeing venison, eggs, and raw dairy on the menu was honestly jarring. That shift isn't small, it changes the entire atmosphere and comfort level for me. Cross-contact becomes a concern, and I no longer feel at ease dining here. The branding around these new additions being described as "ethical" is the most frustrating part. They try to explain how their meet and eggs can be "ethical" but they don't even bother to try to explain how their raw dairy is "ethical." Probably because is no logical argument. Their pride and excitement about these "ethical" addictions feels entirely disconnected from the community that originally supported this space. I'm genuinely disappointed.

From the moment you walk in, it's clear why so many people rave about this spot. The bowls and smoothies aren't just delicious, they're true artistry. Beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor, each one feels carefully crafted rather than thrown together. What really elevates the experience is the team. The associates are genuinely thoughtful and welcoming, happy to offer suggestions and guide you toward something that fits your taste or mood. That personal touch shows, and it's something other five-star reviews consistently mention for good reason. The quality of the ingredients is outstanding. Everything tastes fresh, clean, and intentionally sourced, which makes each bowl and smoothie feel nourishing and indulgent at the same time. It's easy to see why Tru Bowl has built such a loyal following. This is a place you come back to again and again when you want something that's both healthy and beautifully done.
