When I order from Roots it makes me feel clean and healthy. I've ordered their pre-made bowls as well as building my own. Portions are big and can serve as two meals. If I order for dinner I end up eating it for breakfast. Ingredients are fresh AF and their dressings are all delicious. Sometimes I question how my build-your-own bowl will come out and I do a good job--it's delicious!! I always feel good about the healthy and clean options here!

Formal Complaint: Unprofessional Management and Order Fulfillment at OSU Campus Location…read more To the Executive Team at Roots Natural Kitchen, I am writing to formally express my profound disappointment regarding a recent experience at your Ohio State University campus location on Father's Day. The lack of customer care, patience, and professionalism I encountered from the Manager on Duty was entirely unacceptable, and doesn't deserve even a half star, but I had to choose one. On Father's Day, my family ordered five bowls, two of which were seasonal bowls made with the original ingredients with the exception of extra lime. One of these bowls was specifically meant for my husband, who is currently in the hospital. I had raved to him about your restaurant, as it was one of the few healthy options he could safely enjoy during his stay. Unfortunately, the meal was prepared with a blatant lack of care. Even after it was made clear that this was a special meal for him, his portion size was equivalent to a half-bowl, and it was entirely missing the onions and tomatoes. Seeking to resolve the issue, I called the restaurant and was placed on hold. When the phone was picked up, the staff member did not offer a greeting, a name, or any indication of who was speaking. I politely stated, "Hi, I was holding for the manager," to which she abruptly replied, "This is." When I asked for her name, her response was unclear and unkind. Despite maintaining a calm and respectful tone while explaining that my husband's hospital meal for Father's Day had been made incorrectly, the manager was immediately combative and argumentative for absolutely no reason. Instead of offering a basic level of customer service or empathy, I was met with disrespect. Your company's mission proudly states: *"We strive to empower people through radical accessibility to natural food."* Unfortunately, the radical lack of care and professionalism I experienced completely contradicts that standard. Because of this deeply disappointing experience, I will no longer be a patron of your establishment. Furthermore, I will not be recommending Roots Natural Kitchen to anyone moving forward, including for any future corporate or community events I coordinate. I hope you address this leadership and service failure with your OSU campus team so that no other customer is treated this way in the future. Sincerely, Latisha Roland

Everything on this menu is excellent, the chicken over rice is huge and super tasty, the smash…read moreburger absolutely slaps, the chicken tenders are big and juicy and come with any sauce you could think of. The salads are big and loaded up, and you can get them with the red chicken instead of grilled chicken if you ask (definitely get the red chicken). I think they even make their own buns here. Note on other reviews: I'm not really sure how this place could be confusing to get to.. it's directly on High Street and it has a massive neon sign in the window. But some people can be confused by anything. Nobody will be confused by the food, it's awesome.

Pho Chef - Columbus, OH 1186 Kenny Centre Mall…read more Quick Info (Read This First): * Price per person: $12-$16 * Wait time: ~10 min * Noise: Low * Seating: Booths + tables * Order type: Kiosk, counter, or delivery (Chowbus, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) * Vegetarian options: Yes * Kid-friendly: Yes * Wheelchair accessible: Yes * Parking: Free lot Ordered: * S7 Curry Chicken Rice Noodles - $13 * B1 Grilled Pork Sandwich - $7.50 Skip the Sandwich * Cold bread, sweet sauce (tasted like hibachi yum yum), thin pork * Not inedible -- just... why? Noodles Were the Better Pick * Curry-forward broth with solid heat * Real chicken breast * Veggies fresh, though jalapeños looked like they had beef with the prep person * Noodles overcooked (hello, soggy Maruchan memories) * Wouldn't reorder, but glad I tried it -- way more flavor than I expected Final Verdict: I wouldn't return -- long drive, and there are way more flavorful options in Columbus for the same price (or a little more). But this is a good pick if: * You're already nearby * You've got picky eaters or kids * You want something pho-ish, fast, and affordable How I Got Here: This wasn't the plan. I drove to XIXIA in Pickerington -- and it was closed. Looked up the next closest one... far. But Pho Chef popped up right next to it, and the name felt familiar. Then I remembered -- my cousin had once recommended "Pho Chef." So I stopped. Sat down. Checked the text thread... and none of her recs were on the menu. Wrong Pho Chef? For sure. But the staff was kind, the place was calm, and I was too hungry to get back in the car. So I stayed. And while I wouldn't come back -- I'm still glad I got a story and a curry broth out of it. To whoever runs the other Pho Chef: Tell my cousin I'm still coming. #LetJessTellIt #PhoChefColumbus #ForkAround

I got Jasmine rice, lemongrass beef, curry chicken, and assorted vegetables and sauces. Was up in a few minutes, and the bowl was so heavy it was hard to lift. Both meats were tender and tasty. The veggies were fresh. The rice sopped up the juices nicely. I left stuffed. They have a fair amount of protein and veggie options, plus some sides, and there is more I want to try.

You can build your own bowl and get sides or additional toppings. They also have an all you can eat option available! I really liked the crispy chicken I got. The toppings were made so well, very flavorful, and everything worked well together. I also got the crispy pork belly on the side and I thought it was delicious. The pork belly was crispy and crunchy, but soft and juicy at the same time. I loved that the pickled veggies balanced out the main bowl and helped with the salty taste of the protein. The dipping sauces were pretty good. They were familiar with sweet fish sauce dipping sauce but slightly modified. I feel like the flavors were authentic and made well. Overall, good food!

In the food court at Dayou Market. I went in the fall and there were only 2 or 3 vendors here, now…read morethere are 7 or 8. Each has a small stall, all are Asian cuisines. I think this might be the same as "Shaxian Delicacies," or replaced it, because that is not in the food court but they seem to have the same kind of food. Small menu: Jiamo "sandwiches," noodles, steamed buns, etc. If you're hungry there are combos (jiamo and noodles, etc.) I wasn't super hungry, but I ended up with more than I could eat because it all sounded good. Two marinated eggs that I'll try later, a pork bun, and a pork jiamo. A jiamo is a sort of sandwich, really a bun cut open and stuffed with meat. Mine had finely chopped pork, and onion, with a bit of seasoning. I had hoped for more flavor. It's good, but mild. Comfort food, with a little pork broth soaking into the hearty bun. The steamed bun was pretty standard, puffy bland dough stuffed with, again, mildly-seasoned pork. Good, basically Chinese street food. Filling, cheap, easy to eat. Service was great. Pretty basic dining, in the food court. No napkins to be found.
