The staff were so nice and the dining area is really clean and modern. Great location and huge parking lot. We got large bowls which consisted of 2 bases, 2 veggies, 2 proteins, and 2 sauces per bowl. I love that we're able to customize our whole bowls! Everything was good and tasted clean without being flavorless. Two things that I would have liked better: - If the rosemary leaves weren't on the potatoes. When eating potatoes, I expect a soft experience. The rosemary leaves were kinda hard and got stuck in my teeth. I think cooking the potatoes with sprigs of rosemary instead of the leaves themselves would help a lot. - Less sauce. The sauces overpowered the already flavorful foods and made the bowls too salty. I did ask for less sauce but I think the staff didn't hear. Even my partner who LOVES saucy foods said it was a bit much. I'd come back but I'd probably get less to no sauce and skip the potatoes read more

Tried this place again, and had a great experience. The portion size was very generous today (with my bowl getting full scoops of the protein and veggies today), and I found the price to be more fair when I brought my own drink. The woman who helped me gave great recommendations that resulted in a much better tasting bowl, and when I asked about the sauces, she told me that the mayo base was vegan. I appreciate the attention to quality, taste, and overall healthy options and ingredients they have available to choose from. read more

Food is healthy and delicious with variety of options for vegetarians. Service is quick and clean environment.

Friendly staff, healthy food options, and super clean storefront! Will definitely be coming back.

Hearty and healthy and you get to build your own to your liking! We've been here a few times and everything is consistently fresh and yummy. The bowls are very filling so you get your moneys worth. They have a good variety of bases, protein and sides so you can change it up each visit. It's quick and easy for those who are crunch for time during their lunch break. It's located in the same plaza as the habit, sprouts and ulta so parking lot if busy during peak lunch hours. read more

Tried this place out with a friend for the first time today and while the food was good, the service made the experience somewhat distasteful. We arrived a little before 12pm and were the first ones in - the ambiance was empty and not busy. As I looked at the menu, I was disappointed at the lack of detailed ingredients for each menu item. I'm dairy-free - so I ultimately wanted to know if their proteins, veggies and sauces were made with butter. When I asked the employee assisting with my bowl, they responded with uncertainty when it came to knowing if the salmon was made with dairy/butter (tbh, it concerned me that this wasn't clarified). I felt rushed and almost as if I was inconveniencing the employee with my questions around each item and the ingredients, but if I'm paying for it, I have to make sure I can eat it. When it came down to the sauces, another employee was assisting me and I asked for further clarification on if the sauces had dairy; the initial employee assisting me interjected and said "all the sauces are dairy free" - I found that incredibly hard to believe considering one of the sauces was labeled as "creamy garlic" & decided to go with the pesto.. unsure if there was cheese in it. *edit: just noticed the owner confirmed on this page that all the sauces are dairy free* What I ended up ordering was okay - Not sure if I'd return but if I do, I'd probably opt to have the sauce on the side because drenching it over the bowl was too much. I hope that the next employee(s) I come across would be more knowledgeable in the menu items. read more

Fresh and delicious. Great amount of food for a bargain. Customer service with a smile.

Megan and Natalia were great in serving my friend and I. They were helpful in telling us what options are available, and their energy was great! I felt welcomed and am excited to come back again. read more

Amazing meal, good variety of options and all good quality food. Excellent location too!

My new favorite spot in this area tbh! I've been on the hunt for a somewhat healthy place that is open later. I love that they have a good variety of bases, proteins, and sauces! It's like a better version of Chipotle lmao. They also HOOK IT UP! Hence the wild portion in my pic. The employees are super friendly as well. I would def come back here! read more

Service and food was 10/10. The people were so kind and very personal. The food was incredibly fresh. We need more places like this!

Just my second time around to trying this place but still very impressed with my experience here. From ordering, to the service and taste - this place is a solid place to eat at. Walking in the space is well lit, super clean and pretty well spaced out with the amount of seating they have going on. The space is bright and not stuffy at all like other lit places I've been to and I enjoy that very much. Service is quick! It's pretty similar to ordering at a poké place or chipotle so nothing really crazy going on. The workers seem really chill and they are great at making recommendations if you're not sure of what to try. Even when it was busy with lunch rush I've observed their team swiftly serve without any kind of hold up. The flavors are flavoring. Everything I've tried so far from this place was seasoned and cooked very well. Like every protein option didn't seem to let me down in anyway. I would say that my favorites so far has to be the Spicy Thai shrimp - bursting with flavor and the right texture for shrimp. They also give a good amount to you! Me and my friends felt satisfied and filled with our bowls and didn't leave us feeling hefty and lethargic. Anyways I'll stop before this becomes too long of a review. LOL just give it a try and enjoy this great eatery. :) read more

I've been recommending this place to my family for awhile now. It has a nice selection of options and customization. The environment and food itself is very clean and I always leave feeling healthy and fulfilled. It was my sister's first time today and the service we received from the moment we walked through the door was more than welcoming. Jason had incredible patience as he tended to our indecisiveness, specifically my sister's, who usually doesn't like to speak up, but felt comfortable enough to express her preferences. He made a great first impression from beginning to end, offering recommendations and giving us samples so we felt confident in our choices. We appreciated not feeling rushed by him even when more customers came in, who were promptly helped by the other employee. Thank you for the experience! Will be back. read more

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

Great spot for fresh and healthy food! It's a build-your-own bowl concept similar to Chipotle and poke restaurants. Loved how there's several whole food options to choose from. I went with the regular bowl (2 bases, 1 veggie, 1 protein, 1 sauce), which was more than enough -- they don't skimp out on portions here! The brussel sprouts and lemon chicken were super flavorful. If you're stuck between options, you can ask to try a sample. Very clean and spacious restaurant. Staff were patient and friendly. May come back to try their miso glazed salmon, though it's a +$4 add on. read more

Love the black rice, brussel sprouts, and salmon/chicken!! I always get this combo in my bowls. The proteins are super yummy here and the herb pesto sauce is great. read more

I loved the tofu bowl ordered here with sweet potato noodles, broccoli, corn and cucumbers. I had ordered the Spicy Thai sauce with it but on checking with the manager, got to know that it contains fish sauce. I asked if I could switch to a different sauce instead and he immediately gave me another sauce and did not charge me extra for it which I thought was very kind. I'm going to be a regular here ! read more

First time here. Food was tasty, healthy and calorie friendly. Service was excellent being that it was my first time. Would recommend!

Boltiful is an awesome choice for a healthy & filling lunch! I've been here a few times with my partner and we always enjoy how fresh and flavorful the food is here. I love their wild/purple rice, salad blends, lemon chicken, chimichurri tomatoes, and roasted broccoli! All their sauces are also to die for. Their brussel sprouts are a bit too salty for me, but I love their other veggie options. I always have leftovers when I eat at Boltiful because they give you so much food and it makes for a perfect dinner or midday munch. The service here is quick and friendly. There is some indoor & outdoor seating here, but we typically pick this up and bring it back to the office to eat. The store is clean, welcoming, and located in a pretty popular plaza - it's one of the better lunch spots in the area. Pro tip: they have stamp cards, so make sure to get one and get yourself a free meal! More lunch spots need to follow Boltiful's steps. read more

Always fresh, definitely recommend for something quick and healthy. Lemon chicken bowl if my favorite.

I was looking for dinner options and stumbled upon this spot. I was immediately drawn because of all the yummy options and awesome reviews. Upon arrival, I was happily greeted and helped by a very kind gentleman. He let me try some samples since it was my first time. When I chose Barbacoa as one of my options, it was almost out so he advised me that a fresh batch would be ready shortly. He was super patient and friendly during my whole experience. Since I took the food to-go, I was so hungry and couldn't wait to dig in. I loved the mixing a few of the different sauces together, specifically the creamy garlic, herb pesto, and sweet chili mayo. I got the large bowl with chopped kale salad, Asian sweet potato noodles, balsamic glazed mushrooms, harvest brussel sprouts, the chicken teriyaki & barbacoa pickled red onions, & chimichurri tomatoes. My partner got the large bowl with jasmine rice, chopped kale salad, harvest brussel sprouts, garlic broccoli, red pickled onion, chimichurri tomatoes, the barbacoa & spicy Thai shrimp. THEY WERE BOTH AMAZING. Can't wait to come back. Plus, the strawberry mango lemonade was pretty darn good! read more

I've been going here occasionally since the grand opening months ago, and would say my review would go from a 5 to 3 star now. While I appreciate the healthier / Asian Chipotle vibe and clean ambiance, I feel like their kindness and portions to price ratio has gone down a lot. Each visit lately in recent weeks there is something that turns me off a bit such as the workers lack of friendliness compared to the beginning of the grand opening. I wish for the price that more proteins and options to mix/match were available such as the veggies and toppings, such as perhaps half a scoop of two different veggie options for the regular size and that more of the toppings could be free and included or just at least a small scoop. It can be hard deciding between a normal veggie, potato, or mushroom when it all looks good. Many things just add up easily here that you want to have. I'd say my latest irk is the sauces, previously staff were very nice letting me have 2-3 and often on the side but today someone helping me said 1 only. While I understand food and everything costs, just hearing that was upsetting compared to the times I was able to get more before and maybe can at least offer a smaller pour of various sauces if a customer wants more. I likely won't be coming here as often anymore due to all of the above. read more

First timer! 10/10 for food. 1000/10 for customer service. Jason was super helpful and friendly.

While I still love the food, they've recently changed their containers and it feels like shrinkflation... charging the same price for less. And they now charge if you want more than one sauce container. When they opened, they were far more liberal with the protein and veggie portions. But it seems as if with every visit, I get less and less value for my money. read more

My husband looked up a yummy new lunch spot near our church and we settled on Boltiful! What a great find!!!! The food was super delicious and their drinks are yummy too! My husband and I weren't sure which protein to choose for our daughter's bowl and they offered to let us sample some. In the end, we got the tofu because she had a giant smile after eating it! The rice, the sweet potato noodles, chicken, tofu, potatoes, broccoli... everything was so good!!! We will definitely be back! :) Also echoing what other reviews said-- every single employee we interacted with was very friendly and kind! Yay Boltiful!! ETA: my power lifting husband got a Large bowl and had leftovers for the first time in many many moons. read more

This place I what I have been looking for. I feel light and full. The price is worth especially the amount of food we got. Fairly generous with their scoops. Would definitely go again. The service was amazing since it was our first time they provided some tester to try out. The store is really clean and lively. read more

I had no expectations of Boltiful Fresh Kitchen. I saw it pop up recently at one of the local strip mall where I get my nails done. While wrapping up a long nail appointment that went well into my lunch time, I placed an online order with Boltiful Fresh Kitchen. I picked up my bowl but decided to eat inside. A Staff member greeted me and helped grab my order. I got a regular-sized build-your-own bowl of creamy garlic sauce over lemon pepper chicken with sides of harvest brussels sprouts, spinach almond salad, and Asian sweet potato noodles. Although the flavors of each component were very unique (i.e. the creamy garlic against the ginger of the Asian sweet potato noodles against the balsamic flavor of the brussels sprouts), they all somehow tasted fine together. The sweet potato noodles, which tasted like Korean japchae, were especially amazing, so I look forward to repeating that side in future orders. I was highly satisfied with my bowl, and I thought it was such a good value ($13.99) for fresh, quality ingredients. I didn't have to break the bank unlike other health-food conscious restaurants. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Kids meal is yummy ! - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

tl;dr You can get an affordable, healthy bowl here but the overall flavor experience is more like a hodgepodge of individually tasty food that doesn't go too well together, in my experience. I love salad and vegetables so I was excited to find this spot for a healthy meal option. The concept is like a healthy Asian-inspired Chipotle, so you pick your base(s), protein, veggie, and sauce. You may get more than 1 of each item depending on if you get a kid's, regular or large size bowl. Each individual item I selected was tasty and fresh but considering the bowl as a whole, it did not make for a cohesive meal. I selected the kale and acorn noodles as my base, lemon chicken for protein, and mushrooms for veggie. I asked the worker for the recommended sauce for lemon chicken, and he paired it with one of the creamy sauces. I think having the kale salad base be oiled and massaged would help since it is raw kale, which can make for a dry and overly crunchy experience. Maybe also some consideration about the flavorings of the protein among the other selections and sauces and how they'd go together would help the overall experience. The pricing was fair so I didn't feel ripped off and felt just full enough, but the biggest drawback for me was the fact that it tasted like you threw all those ingredients in together rather than crafting something that still makes a tasty meal altogether. read more

Came to Boltiful for the first time after hearing great compliments from my friends! It's priced well, tastes amazing, and looks beautiful from the inside. I wasn't able to finish my food since the serving size was huge, but that's just another compliment to Boltiful since they were able to fill me up for a very cheap price! The first thing you'll see when you walk in is the kitchen - it's kept VERY clean (it's as if the restaurant had just opened yesterday). The workers were all very kind, they helped me pick solid base / veggie / topping choices since it was my first time there! I noticed that, during downtime, the workers would be cleaning up their area in preparation for the next customer. Anyway, it fits the bill for a casual lunch dine-in. I'm excited to come back here again! :-) read more

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
