This place is awesome - fresh, healthy food that is completely gluten-free! We come here at least 3 times a week. The Boltiful spicy sauce pairs perfectly with the rice bowls. read more

Boltiful is offering fresh and healthy food for whenever you're looking for something filling but not heavy. They have bowl options that are pre-made as well as a build your own bowl options as well. Variety of different proteins, veggies, sides, and sauces so people with different dietary preferences can get whatever they'd like! The large bowl is a generous portion and I was able to split it in half to make two meals. Their sweet potato noodles taste similar to Korean glass noodles (japchae). I also got the lemongrass chicken and miso tofu as my main proteins. The lemongrass chicken was tender and had good flavor. The workers there let me know there was a fresh batch of tofu coming out in 5 minutes and asked if I'd like to wait for it. I love that they offered to give me the freshest option! The veggie sides are also well seasoned and cooked so you're not getting boring, bland veggies. I tried their creamy garlic sauce which adds a nice creaminess to the bowl. The workers are really friendly here. One of the workers had accidentally given me the wrong kind of chicken and she quickly noticed and offered to re-make my entire bowl. I told her I would take the bowl since I'm not picky with my food so that there's no food waste but she insisted that she make it correctly and quickly remade it for me. Very filling without feeling heavy. Glad there's a good healthy option around! read more

Boltiful straight fire. Staff is always friendly. I eat here weekly and take all my clients here for lunch. Every item is a hit. Bob is an amazing owner. This place is going far. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Sweet potato noodles, mushrooms, spicy thai sauce - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

We were trying to kill some time till our next appointment and wanted to eat something very light and healthy. That is a difficult task when surrounded by fried fast food. We spotted Boltiful Kitchen and popped in. I was sharing a meal with a vegetarian so we ordered the Lemon Chicken Salad and asked for the chicken on the side. The guy that was making it screwed it up and the manager came by and asked if I wanted it made over. I didn't want to waste food so I said it was okay and she immediately offered me a free drink and I never even complained in the first place. The food is super fresh and they have lots of options for toppings. What's great is it's not just raw ingredients. They have flavored, roasted, cooked additions that are really good. I was also happy to see they had Thai tea. read more

Fresh and healthy food, great selection and friendly staff. Good location with lots of parking. I had the garden salad, I paired it with Thai sauce and pesto and lot of edamame for ~$12, which is a good deal. Will visit again to try other items. read more

The service is good since they're not that busy at the time I went. The foods is ok, just didn't like the way that you have to select your option from step 1 to step 4, then some dollar added on if you choose different option. It's end up quite pricey for my opinion. It's ok if you're a foodie and want to try new things. But regularly customer, I don't think so. read more

This was about this BOGO deal.....my brother was telling me about it sooo he got me one and I was craving for the steak bowl. The bowl came with greens on the bottom and on the sides with rice, potatoes and the chimichurri sauce, the steak was cooked great imo, and chimichurri on steak is just hella good. Additional chimichurri sauce came with the bowl which I added more. read more

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

My sister got us both the steak bowls during their 2 year anniversary deal! (BOGO). Their sauces are so good, I can't tell if the white sauce is a ranch mix with yogurt? The chimmichurri sauce was amazing. For the bowl itself, I wish I could sub 1 scoop of rice with more potatoes, maybe next time. Everything I ate felt like I was eating healthier and clean. Steak was perfection too! read more

I've been supporting them since they opened because I've always loved supporting local businesses and liked their concept. However, today was my last straw. To be honest, I've had a handful of bad experiences with them in the past, such as inconsistent portion sizes and food quality. Sometimes the portion size is half of what I usually get. The food quality is hit or miss too -- you might get the driest chicken, hardest rice, or dirtiest lettuce. It's 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 that cost an extra $4. I don't mind paying extra for good food, but if there's an upcharge, I'd like it to be worth it. Safe to say, after all those bad experiences, I'm never coming back to support them or recommend them to anyone. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - 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

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

Tried a steak chimichurri bowl last week. I asked for a large bowl but I'm not sure if that's what I got, based on the price and number of vegetables/sauces in the bowl. Subbed out rice for noodles. It was a small piece of steak, maybe 2-3oz. And it looked a big overcooked Flavor wise everything was good. Id come back but the non-premium meats just do not sound appetizing to me. And paying $4 for the premium meats is steep. If I get a large, with two premium meats, is that like $27 for a bowl??? I'd probably feel comfortable paying $16 at most for a steak bowl. read more

Everyone is super nice and the portions are pretty huge. I'm generally a big eater and I don't think I can finish a large in one sitting. It's like a poke place but with cooked meats so there's a lot of variety in flavors and vegetables. I'm pleasantly surprised for my first time here even though I've eaten at a bunch of other nearby places for years, but most of them are chains. The shopping plaza parking is a bit of a mess, but this place is right in front of the moto parking, so there's always space if you're on 2-wheels. read more

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

It was my first time visiting this location and was incredibly impressed by the service! Bob welcomed us as we walked in. He was super forthcoming with offering samples, suggestions, and recommendations for the options down the line. I absolutely loved the sweet potato noodle base. I ended up ordering that with the teriyaki chicken, added a few toppings, and finished it with the creamy garlic sauce which was amazing!! Bob was truly so wonderful and the bowl I ordered was fantastic! read more

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.

Everything here was so delicious! The food tasted fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. They offer samples, which made it easy to find my favorites before ordering. I also tried the pineapple lemonade from the fountain drinks, and it was incredibly refreshing. I loved that they make all of their sauces in-house--it really adds to the quality of the meal. The atmosphere was great too. The music was enjoyable, the restaurant was clean, and it stayed nice and cool inside. The service was excellent as well. They had plenty of staff on hand, so everyone was attentive, friendly, and quick to help. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back! read more

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

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 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

I wanted to like this place but everything was so underwhelming. I got the baked salmon with black rice, potato noodles and balsamic mushrooms with the sweet chili mayo sauce. The salmon was dry and everything was bland. Maybe it was the combo I order but I was not impressed. 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

Garden salad is on sale for the summer (11.99 a bowl, 3 bucks off!). It is our first time trying it and it was delicious! The worker helping us was clearly new, but she was professional and kind. They ran out of eggs and she offered us another side of avocado instead. The owner also happened to be in the store and chatted with us a little bit, telling us some of his story. Overall a great experience! ambiance is fantastic. no loud music blaring which makes intimate conversations nice and we are always able to have a nice clean conversation in their dining areas. we finished our bowl and gluten free cookie which are so good and soft. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Harvest Garden Salad (empty) (1) GF Cookie (digesting) - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here during their BOGO and it was starting to get hectic after 4pm. I would say that the service was questionable with it being their second year.. I got a large bowl of bases and was starting to move forward with getting my protein. I noticed that one of my bowls was somehow mixed up with the previous customers so I had to get an extra bowl for my original bowl that was given away. I think the music inside was kind of loud too unless it was just me, but I had to repeat myself a lot of the times to the employees more than once. I ate in the restaurant. I got their pesto and balsamic sauces I personally would not get their pesto sauce, but your miles may vary unless you try it. It had such a weird aftertaste to it but I was not sure if I was able to get another one or if I had to pay for a new sauce. No comments about the basalmic vinegar. The teriyaki chicken was good but I thought there was no flavor towards the lemon chicken. I did like how they used chicken thigh though. I did ask for a water cup but after paying, it wasn't given. I don't blame them since the party before me was a family of 4, but not sure if that could be excused either. read more

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 was delicious!! I got this bowl with jasmine rice, sweet potato noodles, BBQ chicken, balsamic glazed mushrooms, sweet corn, cilantro, pickled onions, and the herb pesto sauce!

I would definitely come back here! read more

Good bowl! I like the sauce options. Boltiful makes it easy to pick healthy options that taste good.

my experience with boltiful is a 5/5. The food and service was amazing and super sweet staff, I went initially to see if I could purchase a side of their creamy garlic sauce so I can make food for lunch tomorrow. I previously had their bowl when they first opened up and their sauce really paired well with their bowl. I asked if I could purchase it and the owner gave it to me and said not to worry about it. So sweet!! I'm definitely recommending this place to my friends next time!! 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

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

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
