Excellent food and service! 10 out of 10 would come again! we need one in Dublin or Livermore!

Fantastic place to get a bowl of mixed carbohydrates and vegetables. Service was quick, fast, and accommodating. Staff is always friendly and welcoming! Parking is tough during lunch hour since so many people come from work to grab lunch at one of the multiple restaurants in the plaza. There is a set menu available if you don't want to customize a bowl. My favorite here is the broccoli and mushrooms! The seasoned chicken is always tasty as well. There is plenty of seating even when lunch rush is going on. The tables and floor are always clean! Ventilation does need some work since the store will leave a lingering food smell on clothes. I'm glad to see they're successful enough to open a second location. It is well deserved! read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Regular Bowl - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Solid option for a quick, healthy meal. The portions are generous for the price, especially when it comes to the base and protein. I really enjoyed the teriyaki chicken and the mushrooms. They were definitely the highlight of my bowl. That said, I didn't feel like all the base and topping combinations worked well together. The bases themselves were a bit dry, and the sauce options were just okay, not bad, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. It was also a little frustrating that some of the better toppings (like tomatoes and edamame) cost extra. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're in the area and want something on the healthier side, but it didn't really stand out as anything special. read more

went here around 5:40 pm with my girlfriend, place packed at all, plenty of parking since this is in a shopping plaza center, and there is a good amount of chairs and tables to sit & eat at, but not a lot. you can go ahead and make your own bowl, this place has nice fresh ingredients, there's plenty to choose from, it's exactly like an asian style chipotle which is awesome if you are looking for something different or want asian fusion of flavors. see the photos for a good amount of what we got, i got the salmon & my girlfriend got the lemon chicken which was super delicious and plentiful. they also have signature drinks which is on tap and im guessing you can get refills? i highly recommend if you want a great alternative to healthy bowls! read more

I have been supporting them since they opened cuz i always love to support local businesses and liked their concepts. however, today was my last straw. to be honest, during the past, i have had a handful bad experiences with them, such as inconsistences portion size and food quality. sometimes portion size can be half of the size from what i usually get. food quality is a hit or miss too. you will be having the driest chicken, hardest rice, and dirtiest lettuce. it was nothing like when they first opened. Today, I decided to try their beef barbacoa. it was NASTY. i literally couldn't eat it and it was a premium protein and costed an extra $4. id like to pay extra for good food but if there's an up-charge, i would also like it to be worth it. safe to say after all those bad experiences im never comimg back to support nor recommending it to anyone. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

I came here for the first time because I was excited to try a new bowl place. They definitely give you a nice portion for your food. However, the food didn't have a great flavor, my salmon tasted plain, the mushrooms were salty. Maybe I came on a bad day but I've seen so many great reviews and I didn't feel the same. It was a one and done for me. Maybe I enjoy poke bowls better, I am not sure, but I honestly felt for the price it would be a great value. It didn't really meet my expectations of a flavorful bowl. It was really plain, something I can cook at home. You can clearly see how big the mushrooms are it is not cut and it was big to put in your mouth to chew. I definitely wouldn't recommend it. But, if you like fast, simple, basic food then give it a try. If you're looking for something that is delicious, flavorful, and hits the spot, I def recommend you skip this joint. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Large Bowl SALMON Bowl - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is beautiful and clean inside, few tables inside and some customers too. There are so much healthy options and the so much proteins to choose from.

Had a great experience at Boltiful! I even got to meet the owner, Ricky, who's super nice and clearly cares about the quality and vibe of the place.

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

I wish I could give this place more stars..but I just didn't enjoy my bowl. This was my first time and I decided to get a large bowl..I got half noodles and half rice. I think I should have just gotten all rice..the texture of the noodles was not appetizing to me. For my vegetables I chose mushroom and potatoes..and for my two protein I chose chicken teriyaki and shrimp. When I tasted the bowl it felt like a bunch of random stuff thrown together but did not go together. I think if I only got rice..chicken..shrimp..it would have been fine. The mushroom..potatoes..and noodles just made my bowl weird. The employees are nice and they give you a lot of food in your bowl. I might have had a bad experience with my bowl..but I still recommend you give it a try..since every bowl is probably different and it's unfortunate my bowl sucked so I won't be back. Shrimp and chicken were yummy.. read more

This is my second time having Boltiful! So glad there's a location closer to us so we had to come by again! This time I got the regular size bowl with half black rice half noodles for my base... broccoli as my side & salmon as my protein! The salmon is so good! Service was quick & helpful when I needed suggestions for the sauce. Come try if you want a quick healthy fresh meal! read more

I thought I made a review for the first time I was here but I guess I didn't; anyway here's my long awaited review. first of all, great concept. I already love vegetables and they're even better when they're prepared correctly - Boltiful does just that. and did I mention they give free samples before you decide on your order? on proteins AND vegetables too :) so regular bowls and large bowls: main difference is how many sides and proteins you get to have - and the amount they give you? I always have 1/2 left of a regular to take home (and mind you, I'm a big eater). so do what you will with that information. it's basically a build your own style; again, free samples so you can taste what they have before ordering but I've had the chicken teriyaki and the premium chimichurri steak (both were delicious, however I might get the salmon or lemon chicken next time). the jasmine rice is fluffy and I believe is slightly seasoned (however, it might have just been soaking up all the flavors from the other components), and I highly recommend getting the sweet potato noodles as well. I lucked out last time I was here: the noodles were piping hot and fresh - if you like japchae vibes, you'll love these. there's some chilis in there but honestly they weren't spicy. I'm a sucker for brussels sprouts so I usually get these by default, but my friend sampled the garlic broccoli and she said it tasted how it sounds - which wasn't enough wow factor for me to stray away from the brussels. for a regular bowl you get up to 3 toppings: I decided on the pickled red onion, cilantro, and crispy noodles (honestly, I didn't want a third topping/the noodles, but it did give a nice crunch). and for sauce they offer to drizzle it on top or give you a small portion on the side - the garlic sauce is very good and I think tends to be their most popular of the choices. the picture doesn't really do it justice: I had 2 FULL meals from a regular with how much they stuffed this thing. I mean the scoop of brussels sprouts alone was basically the microwaveable-bag of brussels from Trader Joe's (not that I'm complaining, but I had a lot of food that day and the next!) I just wish I lived closer! I feel so healthy/good when I do eat here, but the plaza it's in is extremely crazy parking wise - so do be warned. I'll be back even with the crazy commute, and hopefully I can tell yall more about all of the options :) (also next time I'm here I'll show pictures of the actual food: I thought I took those photos but I guess I didn't) read more

Food was ok not as good as Omeej2. Boltiful charge extra for certain food. Portion are not huge. Cashier did not wash her hand there was no soap in the bathroom read more

I tried Boltiful for the first time and was really impressed. I ordered the Spicy Thai Shrimp Bowl for pick-up, and even after my car ride home, everything was still super fresh. The vegetables were crisp and the shrimp was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It wasn't too spicy for me but there was a bit of a kick. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. The food was prepared very quickly and server was friendly even though the interaction was brief. This will definitely be one of my new go-to spots and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

I always pass by Boltiful so I decided to give them a try. I made my own bowl with sweet potato noodles, chimichurri steak, spinach (with creamy garlic sauce), brussel sprouts, and corn + a side of spicy sauce Everything was super fresh and flavorful.

FOOD POISONING WARNING!* Got the chicken teriyaki rice bowl and their chicken was RAW, super undercooked. I had already eaten a few pieces wondering why it was so rubbery in texture then to look down at my bowl to see it was PINK and NOT cooked inside at all! The Asian male owner gave me a refund and apologized but too late for food poisoning after the amount I already consumed. Please check your meats when ordering chicken or pork! The chef or cooks in the back are clearly not doing temperature checks or anything. read more

I haven't written a yelp review in a while but this place deserved me to make a comeback!! I came in to try this place due to their sign outside that made their new chimichurri steak bowl.

Highly recommend trying this spot. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - New - Chimichurri Steak Bowl - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Great, healthy, food. Good portions. Food has great flavor! Split the large bowl into 2 and have 2 meals.

The food is very good and fresh. It's like the Chiptole of rice bowls. We went during the grand opening and they were super kind and the owner was there to let us know about the business. There is another location in San Jose which is their first store. This would be their 2nd store. I went another time and am surprised that MELT was busier than this place as this place has better healthier food! Worth the value. read more

Food: 5/5 Drinks: 4/5 --- I had the strawberry, mango lemonade- it was good, but a little sweet for me. -She had the lemonade, she mentioned it was good. -She also had the Ginger Tea and she said it was amazing. Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Brussels Sprouts: 5/5 Met a friend here for lunch. OMG to my surprise the food was really good along with the drinks. You build your own bowl and just remember the items you want to add. there us an upcharge. However, the basic add-one are complementary. We both ordered the regular bowl. I had salmon which is a $4.00 upcharge, with sweet potatoes noodles and you can't taste the sweet potatoes, spinach with corn, broccoli. She had the rice with sweet potatoe noodles, rice and salmon etc. Anywho, the staff was pleasant and the place was clean and the food was good. My only down fall which is something minor, I needed a plastic knife so I could cut my spinach and cucumbers. When I ask the young lady who worked there, she mentioned they don't have plastic knives, so it was a little tough to stuff the cucumbers and spinach in my mouth, but I got through. I will definitely be back. read more

I've had this twice already and I loved it each time! I love the mix of Asian fusion ingredients in a bowl. I never heard of black rice until I came here and it's a good alternative to default rice with lots of healthy benefits!! Thank you to the employees for letting me try it before I ordered. The employees are very nice and patient especially since I was new to ordering here. The bowls are flavorful and fulfilling. Lemon chicken and bbq chicken are my go to! read more

I've been looking for a healthy lunch spot and decided to try this place. It's like ordering a Poke bowl, but you get meat and salmon options balanced with veggies and healthy carbs. I went for the regular bowl by filling up these options: 1/2 spring mix- fresh and crisp 1/2 black rice- hint of sweet glutinous rice and soft to consume Roasted Potatoes- soft and a bit crisp on the skin Roasted Salmon ($4 extra)- to perfection; I didn't like the extra charge Pickled Red Onions- balance well Edamame ($1 extra)- just like a Japanese restaurant; extra charge fair enough Creamy Pesto- I thank the lady for pouring a generous amount all over my salmon because I devoured it in 20 minutes The service was fast and efficient, as you can see from the choices on the display. The tables were clean, but tight during busy lunch hour, so I decided to sit outside and had the whole table to myself. I liked their nice food display and friendly ambiance. More pricey than Chipotle and poke takeouts, but I would come back again to customize different flavors. read more

This is my first time coming here and am quite amazed with how the place looks despite the size of it. There weren't many people here, but if that's the case, then they need to somehow expand it. You can either get a signature bowl or customize it. Even though that they have a chicken teriyaki bowl as a signature plate, I want to customize it by choosing that as my protein and the rest of the ingredients of my choice. From the fountain machine, I'm quite surprised that they have Thai tea as a dispenser. That's really unusual because that doesn't really happen in other businesses. The food is really delicious especially the chicken teriyaki and cilantro. I've always seen people adding cilantro on their plates in social media and so I decided to do it here. Never go wrong when adding it haha If I ever want to eat something light and healthy, this is one of the restaurants I'll go to. read more

Love going to this place when I know I've been eating horrid and need a break from the junk. Their black rice is filling, and my favorite ever is their lemon chicken; the lemon hint is just right, and their glass noodles give it that chewy goodness. Their Thai tea is also superb! The service is always great, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining area is clean, and their restrooms are as well. read more

Visited Boltiful Fresh Kitchen around 8pm on a Monday! The restaurant is located in a big shopping complex so there were lots of parking spots available. It was nearing closing time so not too many people in the restaurant. There is some indoor and outdoor seating. Friend and I each got the regular bowl. My order was the following - base: sweet potato noodles and chopped kale salad, veggie: balsamic glazed mushrooms, protein: miso glazed tofu, toppings; corn, cilantro and pickled red onions, and sauce: sweet chili mayo. My friend got the ginger turmeric sauce, spring mix base, no protein (two veggies instead - mushrooms and potatoes), and then she added chimichurri tomatoes. The ingredients tasted very fresh. The employee recommended the mushrooms and they were delicious! Sweet potato noodles were good as well - made the salad more filling. Generous portion size. Only drawback is that the sweet chili mayo didn't really enhance the dish. It tasted more like mayo than anything and I didn't get that sweet chili flavor. I tried my friend's order and I think the tomatoes made the salad a lot more vibrant! I wish this didn't cost extra. The ginger turmeric sauce was also more flavorful compared to the sweet chili mayo. Overall, I would potentially consider coming back to Boltiful if I was in the area and craving something fresh and light. Some of the sauces could be more flavorful but the ingredients are high quality and portion size is good. read more

We were looking for a quick lunch spot and found this place. Ordering was similar to poke restaurants where you could choose a base, a protein, veggie, topping and sauce. For protein, We got BBQ chicken and Thai shrimp. For base, we got greens and sweet potato noodles. I liked the sweet potato noodles! It had a chewy texture and slightly sweet. BBQ chicken was tender and nicely seasoned. Thai shrimp was okay though. The shrimp was small but nicely seasoned with Thai curry sauce. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of seating for dine in. Very convenient for a quick lunch. read more

Stopped by during lunch on a work day. It's very clean inside and there are a lot of parking in the plaza. I like the concept of healthy Asian fusion food and you get to create your own bowl! The staff were friendly! I got the regular bowl which came with 2 bases, 1 veggie, 1 protein, and 1 sauce. I chose half spring mix half black rice, harvest brussels sprouts, bbq chicken, picked red onions cilantro, parmesan cheese, and herb pesto sauce + creamy garlic (they let me choose 2 sauces hehe). The black rice was really good!! They also do a punch card for buy 5 bowls, get 1 bowl free, which I think is a great deal! read more

I've been searching for a suitable option for a light meal or a simple yet delicious salad for quite some time, and I've finally found it! I've tried a few other places with the same concept. Still, I somehow leave with a bad taste in my mouth, or never return, especially since I'm a vegetarian and their options are limited to lettuce, corn, tomato, and cucumber. Here, you'll find a variety of flavors, including three hot sauce options in addition to its dressings. If you don't want dressing, try the salsas; they're full of flavor (I promise they're not spicy) and add a special touch to your salad. You will also receive large portions and be served by super-friendly staff. Their drink options include, in addition to the typical fountain drinks, a couple of lemonades and delicious Thai tea! There's plenty of room to eat inside (there are also a couple of tables outside); the place is bright and clean, and they're constantly refilling the utensil and napkin containers, as well as cleaning the soda fountain. If you're in the area, definitely check it out! read more

This is a DIY, choose your own adventure fusion Asian create your own bowl establishment. Depending on if you choose a regular bowl or a large bowl, you get one or two choice of veg and proteins. The large is a generous portion and I ate it as two meals. I like the teriyaki chicken, lemon chicken and tofu selections. You can make it a noodle bowl, rice bowl, or salad bowl depending on what base you like. There are also premium toppings that cost a little more. Overall I enjoyed the experience. We came at around 5pm and the only disappointment was that some of the proteins look like they were sitting out for a while as they were dry. Prior experience serving fresh food was better. Good service. Casual. Please come and create your own experience. read more

i came across this place accidentally while looking for a "chicken caesar wrap near me." while boltiful doesn't have what i was looking for originally, the options seemed good and healthy (!) to me. i mobile ordered a chimichurri steak bowl through their website. when i arrived, my order was ready. the seating area was very clean and spacious, so i dined in. the portion of the meal is really filling! in terms of taste, i think it tasted really good. the steak was stellar and the creamy garlic sauce was SO GOOD. the roasted potatoes were seasoned well, and the pickled onions added a fresh tang that i appreciated. definitely would recommend this bowl. the staff are super friendly. while eating, i was offered a free freshly baked cookie -- warm and delicious! i briefly talked to the owner on the way out, and he was very kind and seemed very proud of his craft. overall, a great find for the new year. i'd recommend coming here if you're starting your health journey. while my lunch break is only 30 minutes, the service appears to be super quick, so i'll probably try ordering in store next time so i can sample their other menu items :) read more
