Came here for lunch last week. I've been on a bit of a salad kick lately, and this place definitely hit the spot. I went with the two-protein bowl and chose the salmon and teriyaki chicken. It was a little pricey for a salad in my opinion, but it is what it is. They have a huge selection of ingredients to choose from, although some items cost extra once you go beyond the included toppings. The portion size was generous--I couldn't even finish the whole bowl. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the mushrooms were easily my favorite part. This is also a great spot for vegetarians and vegans, with plenty of fresh options to customize your meal. There's enough variety that you'll want to come back and try something different. The lunch rush wasn't too bad, and I received my order fairly quickly. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, but I did notice a few tables that could have been cleared sooner to help seat customers more efficiently. Overall, it's a solid place for a fresh, healthy meal. A little on the expensive side, but the quality, freshness, and portion size make it worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

First time here, the reviews were solid and I am glad I stopped by for a bite. The establishment is nice and clean, staff is courteous and attentive to orders being prepared, food is fresh and delicious, overall a great experience. Will be back! Thanks!

The food was amazing. All of the workers were very nice and treated me with lots of care. The music was good, the food was good, everything was good. The worker, Mic, was especially amazing. 10/10 service, if I can give them 6 stars I would.

Great place for build your own bowl when speaking about healthy food. Service was nice and quick as there wasn't a line when we were there. But the sauce staffs added might be a bit more than we expected for each one we asked for lol. All the meats we ordered on that day were all a bit dry and hard to bite.

A new healthy bowl fast-casual restaurant prioritizing fresher ingredients. Get the sauce on the side, and always ask for samples if you're unsure. I talked with the owner at length since he was around for the opening, and he really emphasized how important to the store it was to get the freshest ingredients possible. From the always-fresh chicken and steak ("New York strip!"), to the meticulous brand choices for the black rice ("specifically pressure cooked to perfection") and the white rice ("this [REDACTED] brand is the best!"), it's clear that there's a lot of deliberate choices and love behind the portion sizes, veggies, proteins, and even the branding ("everything but two things are gluten free"). I would personally recommend the sweet potato noodles, the steak, and the roasted chickpeas as the highlights of the menu. I think the base proteins being three different sauced chickens and tofu is a bit disappointing, as getting the premium bowl at $19 makes it an expensive meal compared to all the options in the rest of the plaza. Also, the one time I got the sweet chili mayo on top, it overpowered the rest of the bowl, so while the sauces are all good I'd still strongly recommend getting all sauces on the side. There's a lot of different salad bases, but while those don't really appeal as much to me, it does spoil the average consumer for choice. If you're unsure of what to try, there's a really generous sampling policy currently where you can basically try everything. In terms of quality, you can't go wrong!

Boltiful just opened their second location in Rivermark and it's the perfect spot if you're trying to eat clean without sacrificing flavor. Everything here is made with fresh ingredients, and the best part -- you can fully customize your bowl! Pick your base, veggies, protein, toppings, and sauce to build exactly what you're craving. My go-to combo: - Salmon - Potatoes - Brussels sprouts - Sweet potato noodles - Sweet chili mayo So filling, balanced, and actually hits every time! They also offer catering (and I've heard they're a go-to for a lot of tech offices ) The owners are super sweet and I can tell they are really passionate about what they are building here. If you're in the area, come by to support!

We heard about this place recently and came in to try it. Seems like this location just started couple of weeks ago. So impressed! Great healthy options to pick. Especially with families who have all diverse requirements, this is a perfect place. Plenty of vegetarian options. The veggies are grilled so well too. My personal favorite was the black rice, it was perfect. Teriyaki chicken was the most popular option and we liked it. I missed trying the kale salad, next time! The sweet potato noodles were a little on the sweeter side, but it was a great hit with the kids. Tip: Take the sauce on the side, so that you can relish the flavors of the meat and veggies too.

If you want a place that sells your typical healthy food, but without the healthy labelling kind, look no further than your locally Asian-owned green business -- Boltiful Kitchen! I want to give a big shoutout to the Boltiful Kitchen staff for giving me the opportunity to try (and purchase) some new things at the store -- along with some goodies that they gave us. They had a wide variety of drinks available -- from mango lemonade, to Thai tea, and iced tea, and more. They also had fountain drinks as well, and honestly it made all the difference. There were different types and varieties of vegetables and grains to choose from, ranging from jasmine rice to kale bits and more. I love how there are a wide variety of protein options to choose from, including teriyaki chicken, barbecue chicken, miso glazed tofu, and more. They also had spicy Thai shrimp, roasted salmon, and more premium options -- all of which were really good options because none of the proteins were ever fried or put through the frying process. It neither contained any MSG. The ambiance was BRAND new, and I'm so glad they opened this location for all the people who live in the Rivermark. All in all, this experience was such an amazing one and I'm glad that a second location opened for all the people who live around the Rivermark Santa Clara -- or who have activities that happen around that area. A must recommend!

Sam and Kim were so nice and helpful cause this was my first time here. They gave great advice on what to combine and also explained how a few things were made and let me sample what i wasn't sure about. The food was very veryyy tasty and i really enjoyed it. I dined in and it was very clean, chill and the music was good haha

I've been craving a good bowl and really missing Cava, so I was so happy to finally try this place out. It's basically a build your own bowl spot where you can customize everything with their fresh toppings or choose from their created signature bowls. The employees were so sweet, answered all of my questions and even let me sample after telling them it was my first time. I liked the variety of their protein options, but I probably wouldn't go for the chicken again. I liked the flavor a lot, I just didn't like that it had a lot of bones and it was veiny. I liked the steak, it was really tender. A lot of their better proteins were $4 extra, so it could get a little pricey. Overall still a very fresh and tasty spot that I'd come back to!

I wasn't planning to stop at Boltiful Fresh Kitchen. I just saw it was newly opened at Rivermark Plaza in Santa Clara and thought -- why not. That was the right call. I ordered two bowls: the veggie and the spicy Thai shrimp. The shrimp had this slow-building heat that actually made me pause mid-bite. The veggie bowl was the kind of thing you eat and feel genuinely good about -- not in a sad salad way, in a "I'm actually full and happy" way. Everything is built in front of you. Open kitchen, fresh ingredients, zero mystery about what's going into your bowl. The sauces are all house-made and gluten-free, and the portions are generous without feeling heavy. The kids eat free deal every Saturday and Sunday is the kind of thing that makes a newly opened restaurant an instant regular spot for families. Smart move by them.

My lady and I stumbled upon this restaurant after seeing the other restaurant we originally want to go to closed for Easter Sunday. We walked in and were immediately greeted by workers and what seemed like the owners as well. We told them it was our first visit and a kind gentlemen gave us a rundown on the menu and let us know it was actually the last day for their BOGO Bowl deal since they just opened recently. I ordered a bowl with Kale salad, black rice, Tuscan Zucchini, and BBQ chicken. My lady ordered Sweet Potato Noodles, Kale salad, Herb roasted potatoes and Chimichurri Steak. The food overall was pretty solid, it's another, "build your own"' style of restaurant. My lady and I found that the Kale salad was a little dry as well as the black rice not being as soft as we'd like. The taste of the protein options were pretty flavorful. I hope to see more and newer protein options in the future too. My favorite things were the glass noodles and the herb roasted potatoes. For the portion size/taste, price, and customer service we got for our first visit I couldn't really complain.

Grand opening store in Rivermark Plaza - with special BOGO offer, I customized my bowl to include lemon chicken, Asian chicken, broccoli, corn, cucumber, button mushrooms, Soybeans and almonds - with a combo base of spinach and clear noodles. $18 per bowl but then $4 extra for anything other protein than chicken or tofu. Salmon, shrimp, steak, which is slightly sneaky. Creamy garlic and pesto dressing both add a positive dimension to the palate, otherwise, most of the ingredients are quite bland. It's a large portioned bowl that very much fills you up. Boltiful is a great healthy option compared to the other restaurant options in the plaza.
