My friend and I decided to give this place a try. I got my bowl with spinach, noodles, zucchini, teriyaki chicken, cilantro and pickled onions topped with their boltiful hot sauce. The bowl was pretty good, but I'm not sure it's something I would crave again. Everything was flavorful, but perhaps the combination of what I selected wasnt the best? It's a good spot to pick up a quick meal though. I liked that I didn't feel sluggish or heavy after my meal read more

I really enjoyed dining here as one of my first meals back in San Jose. This is a relatively new establishment near North San Jose with vegetarian and healthy options. I was interested in finding a good restaurant to have lunch with my vegetarian friend, and I think this was a great choice! If you love build-your-own bowls, I think you would enjoy Boltiful Kitchen. They offer a variety of options for proteins, veggies, etc, that not only look healthy, but look delicious, too! They also have signature bowls you can order instead of customizing. I decided to build my own bowl, and the service was quite satisfactory. The server even let me know if what I was gonna add to my bowl added an additional charge, which I thought was nice of him. Free water cups are also always a plus. I thought everything in my bowl was fantastic. The lemon chicken and sweet potato noodles were so tasty and flavorful. Combined with the greens and sauce on top, I thought everything went together nicely. Even though I ordered the regular sized bowl, the portion size was rather generous, and I did not finish my bowl in one sitting. Overall, this is a great place for anyone to eat out at. I would love to come back here again to build another bowl! read more

I had lunch at Boltiful Fresh Kitchen today, and what an experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly, and the upbeat music set a positive, inviting vibe. The food looked so fresh and delicious that I had a hard time deciding what to order. With some helpful recommendations from the staff, I finally settled on a large bowl--and I'm so glad I did! I tried the black rice for the first time (what a fantastic surprise!), paired with their Spanish salad, garlic broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. I added shrimp and BBQ chicken for protein and topped it all off with their flavorful ginger turmeric sauce. The portion was generous--I'll have enough for dinner, too--and everything was fresh, healthy, and packed with flavor. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend Boltiful Fresh Kitchen to friends and family. read more

The food is really good! It's a bit expensive but I'm taking into consideration the ingredients. It was kind of hard to hear the servers over the glass since it was kinda noisy. I took some stars off because I saw a fly go on the teriyaki chicken and that's what my partner wanted to eat. The server swatted it away, which is appreciated, however, it didn't make the chicken look appetizing anymore due to a fly going on the food .--. I wast getting the chicken but it was still kind of gross? So he chose another protein option. Suggestion: Have something to cover the food to prevent flies from touching the ingredients would be a good idea to have so it's guaranteed the food isn't touched by flies? I don't think that looks good from an outside perspective seeing food having flies on it. read more

Very amazing food! Very fresh and delicious. The bowl was very boltiful. The service was also very awesome.

If you're looking for a healthy meal try this place out !! The customer service was great and they had a variety of different options. The sweet potato noodles were my favorite!! The owner was super kind to me and my fiancée !! Will definitely be coming back !! Thanks ! read more

This has quickly become my family's new place for a healthy, kid-approved meal to eat with friends. The meals are pretty reasonably priced, and I especially appreciate not having to pay for grown-up prices for a simple kid's meal. The kids really like the chicken with rice. I've tried a little of everything, but my favorite has been the salmon with eggplant and noodles. The rosemary potatoes and brussell sprouts are yummy, too. Everything is full of flavor and fresh. They keep their serving trays small so that the food doesn't sit out for too long before it gets replenished from the kitchen. The staff is really friendly. My little one was fidgety waiting for the rest of us to finish eating, so the owner handed over a couple postcards to play with. Thank you for being understanding and trying to help! read more

Wow! I am so happy there's a healthy style restaurant here! Walked in not knowing what to expect but the worker was so kind at letting us sample items that we were curious about and building your bowl is really affordable. It cost $30 for two regular build your own bowls with no extra priced items. Overall, super excited to see this place thrive! read more

I was visiting the San Jose area due to a tattoo appointment and self care day and at the end of it all I was STARVING . I wanted to eat somewhere healthy and refreshing , and Boltiful Fresh Kitchen caught my eye because of the photos and the ratings. I am so very happy I gave it a try because everything was so flavorful! I got the Spicy Thai Shrimp Bowl and devoured it in less than 5 minutes. I suggest the creamy garlic sauce but was given other sauces to try (so kind of them to give me btw) and everything just added an extra to my dish. Everyone was so knowledgeable, patient and nice to me as well. Def a 5 star experience and I highly suggest stopping by if you're in the area read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Spicy Thai Shrimp BowlThai - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

We built our own bowls on a Sunday night. The place was clean with indoor seating available, and staff was patient and helpful as it was our first time here, even gave recommendations for sides, and let me sample the balsamic glazed mushrooms (before I decided not to get it cuz it was too sweet). I got mine with white rice, spring mix, garlic broccoli, miso glazed salmon, chimichurri tomatoes, and herb pesto and creamy garlic on the side. I was not a fan of the sauces at all, the pesto was way too herby for my taste and the ranch somehow tasted plasticky (though I can't really put my finger on why it tasted so off). My bf got the spicy thai sauce with his bowl, and wasn't too fond of his sauce either. Some of the food during the last hour of the day was dry and looked unappealing in the hot food station at the restaurant, though the flavor of what we got was still good enough to eat without sauce, so can't complain too much. read more

Delicious, fresh ingredients with flavorful meats to go with it! They have different selections for each base, veggies, and protein - usually veggies that look seasoned end up tasting a bit bland but not here! What I loved most about this place is that they let you sample each one that's displayed. The veggies had a lot of flavor, it was hard to choose which one I wanted to add to my bowl. The protein included: marinated barbosa beef, curry chicken, miso salmon, and spicy thai shrimp. AGAIN, very hard to choose but I decided to go with the curry chicken (very good!) Their Thai Tea was also really good, just a bit sweet for my liking. Nevertheless, definitely worth a visit. read more

We came just when it opened and had to wait about 10-15min for them to set up everything. The place is clean and the staff were nice. The food here is good especially if you are looking for something healthy/ whole food with Asian flavors. The food did taste fresh and the sauces really tied everything together. The only down side are the prices. It's quite expensive. Salmon cost +4 and a large bowl is ~$20. Because of the price, I don't think would go here too often. I got a large bowl with potatoes noodles, spring mix, mushrooms, zucchini, teriyaki chicken, miso glaze tofu, and onions. For me, the protein weren't anything crazy..like you can make it at home. The star of the show were the potato noodles + the sauces SO YUMMY!! It really gave the bowl the it factor. Also, get the purple/black rice if you've never tried it before. It's kinda like sticky rice with a nice nutty earthy flavor profile. read more

Update: owner saw the review and immediately came out to talk to me if there's anything he can do to make my experience better for next time. You don't get many owners who goes out of their way to make sure that your concerns will be heard and something will be done. Def will come back! Chipotle/Panda/Poke style, but pretty healthy. Food: 9/10 For the price, the portion is so good, you get 2 bases. (I asked for rice and noodles; got 2 big ass scoop of rice and a lot of noodles. I'm pretty sure I woulda had to pay $10 for that alone in another place). Anyways, you also and 1 protein, and 1 veggie. I got the potato as my veggie, and teriyaki chicken as my protein. Super good portion and food :))) I loveee their Thai tea. Vibe 10/10: I love the interior, it's super clean, and the lighting is great. When you walk in, you can tell everything is pretty healthy from just the vibes itself. Service: 8/10 For the most part, they're pretty nice. It was our first time, so my boyfriend and I were looking at the food and everything so we knew what to order. I saw one of the worker turn around looking at her friend with a certain face... as if we were wasting her time. I've worked in restaurants and food places, so I know that look. But they're still p niceeez Overall: 9/10 Pretty good portions and good food. I love the vibes, good place to chill and eat at. read more

My first thought of this restaurant was it going to be a cheap copy of Chipotle, but boy was I wrong. They created a better and healthier Chipotle. When walking in I was greeted by the employees. They were also so nice and even offered us some samples. When trying their food I could tell they knew flavor. They do not hold back on their portions. The bowls were pack and I appreciate that a lot!!! I'm excited to comeback and try their other flavors. I got the lemon chicken and teriyaki both were delicious. I really enjoyed the sweet potato noodles also. The interior was bright and green and matched their brand well. Excited to come back try everything else! read more

This is probably going to become my favorite healthy bowl place. I think I could definitely have a 5 star experience in the future with some small tweaks. Parking and traffic at this shopping center are horrendous, so I don't like going here, but I'm probably going to make an exception for this place since there aren't other locations nearby. It's a slightly Asian inspired build your own bowl place. Since it was my first time, I decided to try their signature teriyaki bowl and add zucchini and mushrooms so I could try all of the vegetables that I wanted. Unfortunately I didn't know it was $3.50 per extra veggie option so what initially was supposed to cost $14 ended up being $24 after tax and a $1 tip. That's too much for me, so next time I'll see if there's a way to get the extra veggies for free and if not, just pick 1. The value feels somewhat more justified since with the addition of the extra veggies, my bowl was HEAVY and was enough for 2 satisfyingly big meals. Of the ingredients in my bowl, I loved the sweet potato glass noodles and the chicken. It was small cubes of thigh meat with plenty of teriyaki sauce. The rice was excellent too, but I may skip it next time for more noodles since I already eat rice all the time at home. The zucchini had the best flavor of the vegetables, but it was overcooked. The broccoli was barely cooked at all, but I know a lot of people like that. I'd skip it. The mushrooms were cooked well but didn't taste particularly seasoned and I think they would've been better if they were sliced. These were just whole mushrooms. Pickled onions are always great. I got the white sauce on the side which was delicious. Definitely not enough sauce for the whole bowl, but it worked out because the ingredients were so flavorful that it was fine without sauce. One final nitpick, both my bowl lid and my sauce lid did not fit properly which could've resulted in a spill if I hadn't noticed. I will definitely come back to try a different variation of this bowl to make it cheaper. I'm also interested in trying their tofu. They have shrimp and salmon too for an extra charge. I'm glad I didn't go for the salmon though, it looked dry and unappetizing. Overall I would definitely recommend as a unique option for a healthy bowl that doesn't have to be a salad (or can be if you want it to). read more

The Miso Glazed Salmon Bowl was delicious. Not only was the food great the service provided was excellent (Thanks Steven)!! Nowadays, I've become a custom to rude people so when I go somewhere and the person behind the counter is great I make sure to let others know where to get great food and deal with great people. Also the dining area is very clean and esthetically pleasing last time I went I enjoyed my lunch at the outside eating area. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen is located in a busy shopping plaza. Parking is hit or miss in the shared lot, depending on the time of day that you stop by. I came around lunchtime on a weekday and there were only a few spots scattered around on this side of the plaza, but there were more spots further away in the middle of the lot. While the exterior may be simple, the interior is clean and modern. It reminded me of Asian and healthy style Chipotle. Service was good, I was welcomed and helped by several employees. I tried several of the bowls from 2 of their Boltiful Inspired Bowls and a few of their Build Your Own Bowls, which included: - Bowl 1: Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl with jasmine rice, Asian sweet potato noodles, garlic broccoli, teriyaki chicken, cilantro, and my choice of sauce on the side. I enjoyed how flavorful the chicken was, I would probably try their lemon chicken next time. It went well with the jasmine rice, sweet potato noodles, and garlic broccoli - this was definitely a good combo. - Bowl 2: Miso Tofu Bowl with chopped kale salad, Asian sweet potato noodles, herb roasted potatoes, miso glazed tofu, chimichurri tomatoes, and my choice of sauce on the side. I like tofu a lot, but it usually is not my go to protein when eating out. It was good, but I would rather a different veggie though, but overall it was a good combo. - Bowl 3: Custom spicy Thai shrimp bowl with spinach & almond salad, Asian sweet potato noodles, tuscan zucchini, spicy Thai shrimp, pickled red onions, and my choice of sauce on the side. I usually do not like shrimp, but this spicy Thai sauce that the shrimp is marinated with was good, so it was more enjoyable. This spinach & almond salad was surprisingly good, I enjoyed the sweet potato noodles and zucchini as well. - Bowl 4: Custom miso glazed salmon bowl with chopped kale salad, jasmine rice, forbidden black rice, harvest brussel sprouts, miso glazed salmon, goat cheese, and my choice of sauce on the side. Salmon is one of my favorite proteins and I like miso too, so I was stoked to try this out. Both the salmon and miso flavor was good (the goat cheese was a good addition to it), and it went well with the jasmine rice, but I would probably get it again with the sweet potato noodles and a different veggie. - Bowl 5: Custom pulled pork bowl with spinach & almond salad, jasmine rice, Asian sweet potato noodles, power beans, chimichurri tomatoes, and my choice of sauce on the side. The pulled pork is for a limited time only and this was one of my favorite proteins here. It went well with the jasmine rice, sweet potato noodles, beans, and tomatoes as well. Overall, the bowls were delicious, but best of all, they were healthy! All of the bowls were already flavorful before I put any of the sauces, I only drizzled a little sauce on my food - I honestly could eat it without the sauces. The herb pesto and sweet chili mayo sauces were the best ones in my opinion. If I lived closer, I would definitely come here for my post workout meal. read more

Got the regular bowl build your own, portions are big and will last you 2 meals, got a sample of the bbq chicken which was a bit dry so I opted for the teriyaki chicken which I'm glad I did. They offered samples for the proteins which I really appreciated. Overall I'd go back. read more

Really yummy, healthy & filling "enhanced" salad choice offerings. Right now I like these bowls better than poke or burrito bowls. I was able to select from a base of greens, sweet potato noodles, and/or rice, plus a great selection of grilled veggies, proteins & sauces. At my first visit, my server was helpful, making suggestions & even allowed me try before buying, offering me samples of the selections. I really enjoyed my Boltiful bowl. I've now been twice within the same week! read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - My customized large salmon and tofu loaded bowl - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

I really love this place and have eaten here while on my lunch break a few times and have picked up a bowl during the weekend. The food is fresh and you get a great selection. The price is also very reasonable considering the high quality of ingredients. If you have family with allergies or are on a certain diet, Boltiful is convenient. You can customize a regular rice bowl, make a salad, go low carb, or even make a keto bowl (which I usually make for my dad). The portions are also super generous. I usually get the large bowl and it's like two meals, so I save the other half for later. The service is great too. If you haven't eaten here before, the staff is always warm and friendly and will ask if you've been there before. If you haven't, then they are so patient in explaining your options, down to the way they cook and prepare the food. They also recently started a frequent customer punch card. One of the best places in the Sprouts plaza by far. Everything is tasty. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Large bowl: 2 scoops of white rice, 1 scoop of purple rice, mushrooms, tomato, tofu, salmon, and cilantro. - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Looking for a good healthy meal with lots of protein and veggies enough to fill one's appetite then come on down to Boltiful Fresh Kitchen you won't regret it. I remember this used to be Asian Box same concept and I was taken in by how wonderful the staff were greeting each customer with a smile and always helpful. I chose the BBQ chicken unfortunately that was taken off the menu so I chose lemon over teriyaki and the young lady was kind enough for me to sample what I liked. Here's what I had: 1. Base: Asian sweet potato noodles Spinach & Almond salad 2. Protein: lemon chicken 3. Veggies: Herb roasted potatoes 4. Toppings: Pickled red onions Freshly chopped cilantro Parmesan cheese 5. Sauce: Boltiful Spicy Mind you for $13.99 you're getting alot more and they don't skimp back generous portions for a regular size bowl and for drinks iced lemonade large size for $2.79 can't beat that. It was definitely warm so I chose indoor rather than outdoor seating. Would definitely be back a better alternative than at any fast food restaurants. Best to come by early in the morning parking fills up quickly on the weekends worst in the afternoon. read more

4.8/5 I ordered takeout over the phone and got a build-your-own regular bowl. The employee I spoke to on the phone was very friendly! We get a choice of two bases, one veggie, one protein, one topping, and one sauce. I decided on the black rice and kale salad, herb roasted potatoes, lemon chicken, pickled red onion, with creamy garlic sauce on top. My favorite part of the meal was the lemon chicken, which was diced chicken covered in a rich, slightly lemony sauce. The garlic sauce was pretty good as well, but I would ask for extra on the side if possible because I personally like mine with more sauce. Overall, I'd say this was a great food spot with lots of healthy choices that I would return to again! read more

The miso salmon is always a hit with me. I don't mind the extra premium charge because the salmon is always consistently flavorful and moist. Sometimes I'll buy just the salmon to bring home and eat with other things! Staff is always super nice and the owner is clearly passionate about his food. 10/10 would go again. read more

We ordered three bowls for takeout, and the service was really fast and convenient when you order over the phone. They included a lot of utensils and the pricing was fair. We ordered a teriyaki chicken bowl, the miso tofu bowl, and a spicy shrimp bowl. The overwhelming review was that all of our food was saltier than we would prefer to be. I expected this place to be a fast and easy way to have a nutritious meal, but unfortunately I wasn't able to finish my bowl because the greens and potatoes were a little too salty for me. I was the one who ordered the tofu bowl and for the high notes I really enjoyed the japchae and tofu! They are a new spot, so I anticipate that there will be improvements along the way. The inside of the store looks really clean, efficient, and well-managed. Our order was ready when we came to the store, so keep in mind we didn't spend too much time in it. I'm looking forward to giving it another try at some point down the line. read more

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

4.5 Stars. My GF and I remembered Boltiful opened not too long ago, and finally decided to try it because we were craving some chicken teriyaki, but with a healthy flavor.. When we walked in, the restaurant was very clean and maintained. The staff was very nice and attentive. We decided to share a medium bowl, there are 2 sizes you can choose from. For our picks, we went with mixed greens, potato noodles, broccoli, and chicken teriyaki, and a few sauces on the side I don't remember. We topped it off with the pickled veggie. Everything looks and tasted pretty healthy. The broccoli was excellent with a little crisp, the chicken was flavorful and tender, and the potato noodles were my favorite. I couldn't get enough of it. Overall, it was a delicious meal to share. Next time, I would love to try the beef, shrimp, and salmon. My GF loved the food as well, so I'm sure we'll be back. read more

I was sooo looking forward to trying this place as there aren't too many healthy inspired places in sj. This is located in an area with lots of businesses so there were plenty of parking. There's also plenty of seating inside but I took this togo during this visit. This place has a concept of chipotle or like poke style which is cool because you get to choose what you put in your bowl. I enjoy the variety they have but I wish we were allowed to put in more than one topping per section, since we were only allowed to put in 1 carb, 1 veggie and 1 protein. It was good but portions were small, honestly better off going to chipotle as they give more and you can still meet your macros too. I would want to try this place again another time but as in now, I was hoping I would really like this place. read more

To start off, the staff were incredibly nice- offering to clean the table when I had intended to do it myself and being accommodating with providing a bag and a lid when I had forgotten to ask earlier. It wasn't too crowded, so the staff were able to drop in but it's by no means empty. They go by a base, veggie, protein, topping, and sauce ordering system, but some proteins will cost more than others. We tried the chili shrimp bowl and it was delicious with the mayo sauce and ESPECIALLY the potato noodles. The lemon chicken was a bit overpowering with the sourness, but still enjoyable. The seating is mostly for 2 people, but appears to be easily put together for bigger parties. Very nice and clean as well. read more
