Been coming here since they opened and I usually come here for a healthier option if I'm lazy to cook at home. Pretty good selections, I usually just get their teriyaki chicken bowl. I appreciate how they let you sample as well and I've always experienced good customer service from the staff!! read more

Visited Boltiful for a late dinner after having it on my bookmarks for a while. They had pretty solid options for healthy food! I ordered a regular build-your-own bowl. In it, I got the kale salad + sweet potato noodles, mushrooms, teriyaki chicken, and pickled red onions. They mentioned the teriyaki chicken was the most popular and I thought it was the best protein too, since they allowed samples. The mushrooms were addicting - I also was able to try the potatoes; I thought I'd enjoy them more, but thought it was just okay compared to the mushrooms. Portion sizes are HUGE here! Overall, I thought the food was solid but didn't exceed my expectations. read more

This was my first time visiting. I love the BYOB concept, but the Premium Salmon Bowl caught my eye, and I'm so glad I went with it! The staff was super friendly and helpful, offering recommendations for their favorite dishes. All the ingredients on display were fresh and tasted incredible. I'm especially obsessed with the combo of red sauce and garlic sauce--such a delicious pairing! The service was both kind and efficient, and the store itself was spotless and well-maintained. I can't wait to return and try something new :D read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Roasted Salmon Bowl w/ a lot of sauce HAHA - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

The place is pretty spacious with many tables to sit at. The way you order is like how you would at chipotle. There were many options to choose from and they also offered samples of the food too! Regular Bowl(5/5): For my bowl I got half noodles, half greens, mushrooms, and teriyaki chicken. For the sauces I chose creamy garlic sauce as it was a popular choice, and sweet chili mayo on the side. The bowl was very flavorful and very filling! The noodles didn't have much flavor, but that's ok since there were other aspects to the bowl that balanced everything out! The chicken was tender, the noodles were bouncy, the greens were crunchy, and the mushrooms were the star of the show for me! I think I'll skip out on the pickled onions and the sweet chili mayo, but everything else was delicious! Strawberry Lemonade(4/5): I think I got strawberry lemonade, but I remember it being really tart and sour. Not what I expected, but it gave a nice palette cleanse to my bowl! Service(5/5): The workers were so nice and friendly! They were quick to serve me and the ordering process didn't feel rushed. I had the chance to talk to the owner and they were very nice as well! Overall, I would definitely come here again! read more

I don't really write reviews but i had to - the workers there were amazing! My cousin & I were looking for healthy options to eat after the gym & saw this place on yelp! We went there on a Sunday night around 6pm & it was pretty empty but a line quickly formed behind us. I told the worker that it was our first time & he let us sample literally everything! I didn't expect that The service was so great & he was so kind! I really like the vibes of the store; it was very clean & green :) I got a regular bowl with spring mix & the yam noodles (so yummy - basically japchae), teriyaki chicken, garlic broccoli (so flavorful), & a pesto herb sauce. I thought the pesto sauce was just ok but I tried my cousins garlic sauce - definitely my favorite of the two! I wanted to mention that I really like that everything is baked & gluten free - would definitely go out of my way to eat here :) read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - We both got teriyaki chicken with greens & noodles! - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Dropped by Boltiful Fresh Kitchen for the first time today. The interior was clean and had ample seating. The bathroom was also clean. We were greeted immediately upon entering and one of the employees asked if we were ready to start building our bowl. I got the small bowl with spring mix salad, sweet potato noodles, lemon chicken, broccoli, and pickled onion. They recommended the pesto sauce for the lemon chicken, so I went with that option. Overall, I enjoyed the flavors incorporated into the bowl. The broccoli was definitely my favorite - highly recommend! I sampled the brussel sprouts and the potato and wasn't impressed - I'd skip those and get the broccoli as the veggie option for your bowl. The lemon chicken was good, but I did not like the pesto sauce that was recommended. It lacked depth and didn't taste very pesto-y to me. I'd try a different sauce next time. read more

What a cute name.. Boltiful! I found this spot nearby me on Yelp, and I got takeout from there twice so far. Both times I got the terriyaki bowl, which was very yummy, big portions, and a good mix of things. You got the protein, vegetables, and carbs. I love the spicy chili mayo sauce. Staff is friendly and fast. The place looks clean and vibrant. I definitely would come here again when I want a yummy and pretty healthy lunch. :) read more

Service// Amazing and quick Ambiance// Music is good with holidays vibes at the moment Food// Two sizes for bowls available which was initially misleading because depending on the proteins you get, the price may vary. I got the Miso Salmon Bowl with sweet potato noodles, kale salad, zucchini story fry, cilantro, onions topped with sweet chilli mayo. Highly recommend the sweet chilli mayo sauce since it pairs perfectly with the miso salmon which had a nice char. read more

The first time I came here, I did not like the food. I had no idea what to order, and I didn't know you can sample the food before you order it! Second time... I tried the different proteins and went with teriyaki chicken (the best chicken they have). Base is half kale and half potatoes noodles.. SO GOOD! Brussels sprouts, corn, and cucumber for my veggie, and topped with their house spicy sauce or garlic... chefs kiss! SO GOOD! And the portions are plentiful. Now I keep coming back! This place is great! I feel great after I eat here. The place is spacious enough to have lunch with a friend. And it's reasonably priced! read more

The service was amazing! The options are plentiful and the ambiance is truly soul inspiring. I had a teriyaki chicken bowl with kale and their boltiful sauce which has a Korean twist. Definitely will come back here for a clean delicious high nutrient meal again! If you like Cava you'll enjoy Boltiful! read more

Pretty fresh and on the lighter side for dinner. Asian Chipotle style. Got a teriyaki chicken bowl. You can pick what you want. It was a decent amount of food. Jasmine rice was soft. And noodles weren't salty so thats a plus! Fairly clean and workers were nice to us. Would comeback to try the others. Private lot in front read more

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

Great food. Great customer service. Love this place. The chimichuri steak is amazing.

Not sure how long this location has been around, but I tried it for the first time on April 20, 2025 and it was great! I got a large bowl with chimichurri steak and shrimp, and my bowl was nice and warm. The rice was cooked well. The veggies and sauces all taste really fresh. I especially liked the zucchini and mushroom sides. Service is quick and they're really nice about explaining items if you're unsure. There are so many solid high-protein options. It's pretty casual, but I enjoyed dining in and taking my leftovers home. Will be back! read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - salmon with potatoes noodles and chimichurri tomatoes. - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

We received a coupon in the mail for a BOGO free regular bowl. The coupon says "excludes premium items" but apparently the extra can just be paid. I wanted to get barbacoa beef (+$4) but I guess the woman putting the bowls together misheard me because I received lemon chicken instead. Didn't notice until checkout but I wanted to try it at some point anyway! My SO and I always share plates/meals so I just asked for specific items to be put in whichever bowl, but the employee made the effort to match the ingredients suitably - maybe for taste or maybe for presentation because the colors looked appealing at the end! The website says "toss on a topping" which makes it sound like "choose one" but she gave me all three of the free ones (pickled red onion, cilantro, and parmesan cheese) which I think is standard practice for these types of places. The lemon chicken is surprisingly tasty - more like a subtle and bright acidic finish rather than overpowering. I didn't expect it to be more flavorful than the teriyaki chicken! The Tuscan zucchini wasn't very well-spiced but I loved the char on the Brussel sprouts. The sauces are given on the side in separate containers, made easy for the staff to just pick out the pre-portioned amount. The black rice and sweet potato noodles are unique options with great texture too. read more

I wanted to get lunch but something healthy and I found this place! It's basically like chipotle or poke style when you order. I got regular bowl which includes 2 bases, 1 veggie, 1 protein, and 1 sauce - $19 after tax. It's really expensive for what it is. $19 when the bulk of the bowl is protein and a veggie with rice/salad as filler. I got a piece of salmon which was a good sized, not sure how much they serve with the other proteins. Price wise I can't justify coming here too much but food quality was pretty good. The salmon is seasoned well, something like a teriyaki marinade? For veggie I picked Brussels sprouts which was delicious too. They were out of tomato so I just got cilantro and pickled onion. They have some premium toppings too like avocado. Sauces - I tried the pesto and creamy garlic. The sauces are alright, nothing special, but I liked the garlic more. **update: its Miso glazed salmon! No wonder it was so good. read more

Amazing build your own bowls! My husband and I have been here twice now and the we both did the build your own bowls! This is like an upscale Asian chipotle with high quality ingredients. The Lemon chicken, black rice, mushrooms, spinach almond salad, cilantro, and pickled onions with pesto sauce bowl was stellar! I loved how they had a choice of black rice which was tasty and unique. My lemon chicken was very flavorful as well. The mushrooms had a balsamic glaze which stood out as exceptional! Do try those mushrooms! My husband loved his teriyaki bowl and he can't wait to come back. His bowl was spotless! The service was great too and the manager (I think) checked in with us to make sure everything was great. He was very friendly! Oh yes don't forget to grab a stamp card! I know I'll be back here soon again for more! read more

The deets: $14.99 or $18.99 for a bowl and if you want a premium protein like shrimp $4 more or some toppings are $1.00 too. Came here on a friends recommendation of their black rice, I was intrigued so went in and got 2 bowls and 2 drinks, $50 plus dollars later not sure if it was worth it when other options just as yummy and not so price thirsty are in the area. What drove me to put 2 stars is it was fresh and good flavored but the lack of enthusiasm from the meh attitude of the girl helping, her small portion of shrimp and one of the non premium toppings was cucumbers which my friend got 3 slim slices of was a joke. In an era where we all want and strive to be healthy this establishment is not for the masses, go else where or sprouts buy your own items $50 worth and eat for a week. Was the black rice good? It was...but not worth the price and what's more parking is a headache. Establishment is clean and bright, drinks were yummy otherwise hard won't ever come back pass for me. read more

If you are looking for a clean eats option this is the place. They have a lot of great options that will leave you feeling full. They give you enough portions that can last the next day as a lunch.

High recommend if you are looking to eat better and have it taste as good too read more

I dropped by at 5pm as I saw how highly rated this place was and when I came inside, it was very clean. It resembles a more upscale chipotle. I wish the price reflected it. The food handler was kind to let me try the meat, like the chicken teriyaki and Thai shrimp. None of them tasted authentic at all and was overcooked. I got a salmon since it was something I didn't try and was disappointed but not surprised that it was a bit over cooked. The glass noodles were bland. Everything else was acceptable, but I don't think I'd ever come back here, it's not worth the food to taste to cost ratio in my opinion. read more

Highlights *Build your own bowl *Delicious food, if you're okay with a generalized pan-Asian style *This plaza has very full parking lot on weekends This is a Chipotle-Style, build-your-own-bowl kind of place. We got the biggest size and shared between the two of us. I'm not really sure how to classify the cuisine though I'll go with pan-Asian/American fusion. Although it wasn't from a specific region, it was really delicious. Ambience was great on a Sunday afternoon. The only challenge is the parking lot can get very full on weekends (which is true for the whole plaza). The House drink (a lemonade) was really sweet. I kept going back to dilute it with the carbonated water and it was still too sweet for my liking. Once I got home and could do a 50/50 split, it was perfect. I'll be back again! read more

I really didn't know what to expect when it came to Boltiful's cuisine and menu but once I saw the Asian sweet potato noodles... SAY LESS!!!!! My initial descriptions for Boltiful Fresh Kitchen would have to be: healthy, fresh, & Asian. This joint is kind of the Asian version of Chipotle IMO. The menu offering is pretty self explanatory and extremely direct. You have the option of choosing from the list of 5 signature dishes or you can build your own bowl. Building your own creation is narrowed down to 5 steps: 1) your choice of a base [rice, salad, noodle, etc.] 2) your pick of a vegetable 3) select a protein from the list of 7 options 4) adding a topping 5) your choice of sauce to round out the bowl. Do be advised that certain options will result in additional fees. There are 3 bowl sizes [kids, regular, & large]. For my purchase, I went with the regular sized bowl which includes up to 2 bases, 1 protein, & my choice of 1 sauce. I opted for double Asian sweet potato noodles, Tuscan Zucchini, teriyaki chicken, pickled red onions + chimichurri tomatoes [+$1]. Requested for a little bit of each sauce on the side. Food: First things first, them noodles did not disappoint!!! As a forewarning, there is a bit of heat to the noods which was already noted on the menu. I didn't notice anything too strong but my toddler sure did. The potato noodles had a nice chewy bite that paired well with the rest of the ingredients. The teriyaki chicken was flavorful and so very moist. The zucchini was really herb-y [a little too much for my tastebuds but I wouldn't classify them as bad]. Pickled onions and the tomatoes added a nice fresh aspect to the overall meal. Ingredients were fresh and I honestly didn't find the need to utilize any of the sauces. My bowl was just fine as is. 5/5 stars. There are some additional items I look forward to trying, a few being the balsamic glazed mushrooms & the miso glazed tofu. I'm a fan... KEEP THOSE NOODLES COMING!! read more

Fresh healthy new spot in San Jose that's somewhere between sweetgreen and chipotle but better quality than both! Such yummy ingredients for a fun build your own bowl experience with a good space to sit and chat. I got a chicken teriyaki bowl with a base of kale salad and sweet potato noodles. Though the portions were generous, the amount of noodles was a little overpowering, so next time I will probably go for either a green base or just rice. The vegetables were extremely well cooked, and next time I will probably opt to get more than just one.the sauces were also great. I tried the spicy Thai, which was a great addition to the kale itself. I will definitely be back to try marvel combinations. I love how customizable and fresh everything is. read more

Delicious and unusual flavors, fresh ingredients, and delightful customer service. Make for a lovely impromptu lunch. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE Dang, apparently my Yelp review was not meant to end there. In a feat of being spaced out, I managed to leave my card in the register at checkout and only discovered its absence when I was at the grocery store also at checkout. Little did I know that Jason, the friendly human who had made my Lunch Bowl, upon discovering my card had yelped a message to me which entailed creating a new account, and when I walked into the shop it was in the register all wrapped up in a like the receipt with the date and time I had abandoned it. Wonderful customer service and humanity along with a great lunch. Thank you so much Jason! read more

We were looking for a healthy quick lunch to grab before heading to an A's game from SJ to Oakland and found this place on yelp. I am so glad more places like this are popping up with fresh and wholesome options in a quick dining setting. Did I also mention it is in the same shopping center as Home Goods? Talk about power fuel for shopping! We each got a large bowl and it was enough for two adults and one toddler. I ordered the lemon chicken bowl after trying the teriyaki and my toddler preferred the former. I had it with noodles & rice, potatoes, and paid extra for the tuscan zucchini. I absolutely loved the noodles and how light but flavorful they were. My son loved the chicken, rice and potatoes. I am obsessed with the tuscan zucchini (one of my fave veggies) and now want to recreate them at home. I got the spicy mayo on the side but I honestly didn't even need it. The food help up well a few hours later. My only feedback is that I wish they had brown rice as an option instead of black rice. That would be a much healthier option. The service is super friendly and despite only being open a month, everything was organized and they were very helpful! I can't wait to come back! read more

Came here for lunch with a friend and so thankful it wasn't super-packed. As some others have said in their reviews, it's like a Chipotle-style setup where you can build your own bowl (w/ limits) or get one of their signature bowls. The food is here more Asian-skewing, but I can't say full Asian or even Asian fusion, really. They have things like Spicy Thai shrimp and Miso tofu which are Asian origins but then Barbacoa Beef, Mediterreanean tomatoes, and pesto which are not. I ordered a regular-sized Spicy Thai Shrimp bowl which came with a recommended creamy garlic sauce. With a regular bowl, you get 1 protein, 2 bases, and 2 veg sides. At first, I was kind of bummed at the idea of the limit on the veggie sides since I had Chipotle in my head from reading other reviews, and they load the sides and toppings on with as much as you want but ultimately, it made sense for this place because it's a decent amount of food and really, the two gives balance to the bowl flavor. All of the ingredients in my Spicy Shrimp bowl were very fresh. I got a very generous portion of shrimp which was great because it's easy for a food business to skimp on protein and load up on bases. The sweet potato noodles are more or less like japchae Korean noodles, which I happen to love. The spinach and almond salad was a nice, crisp, fresh element to the texture of the bowl, but I only found one sliver of almond in my bowl, so it was more like just a base of spinach. There was the option to get sauce on the bowl or on the side - I didn't want to create extra waste so I just got it topped on my bowl. It was nice and garlicky, VERY creamy, and a good compliment to the flavor of the dish. I had the taste of garlic in my mouth for hours after the meal I do, however, wish I had asked for a little less sauce as it was much thicker and creamier than I expected. Note to self for next time. The spice of the Spicy Thai shrimp portion of the bowl was pretty mild. I may just try topping the bowl with the spicy Thai sauce next time to see if it kicks things up a notch. All in all, it was clean, fresh, with great options to get a healthy meal. I would totally come back and hope this business stays open long enough for me to make another visit. Some of these spots seem to be a revolving door for restaurants, but I'm crossing my fingers that this one does well and finds a nice long-term home here. read more
