Galbi Bowl
Carmen H.

I was craving Bowl Lab for lunch, so I decided to visit. When I walked in, I noticed they had added some new items to the menu. I was torn between ordering my usual Pokè Bowl and trying something new. The guy assisting me mentioned that the Galbi Bowl has been a crowd favorite, so I decided to go with his suggestion. The Galbi Bowl comes with a choice of rice or all greens, along with corn, kale, edamame, red onions, and carrots. They prepare the Galbi fresh, so it's a short wait. Once it was ready, I was given shoyu and yum yum sauce to accompany it. When I finally had the chance to eat my bowl, I was extremely satisfied. The flavors were bold and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh. It was so good that I told my husband about it, and he grabbed one for dinner. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and look forward to trying it again. I hope you all do not change anything because it is perfectly made.

Bow lab is one of my favorite spots to pick up food after running my errands. It's small but cute and clean space. The food is always fresh and so many options to choose from. I'm loving the Soul of Seoul (tuna and salmon bowl) right now but Hotlanta is one of my favorites. Easy parking and free. Oh and staff are nice. They are very helpful if you're having trouble selecting a meal.

POKE BOWL (LARGE)

THE BEST place for a poke bowl, they do not play with their toppings and the portion sizes are the best I've had in Atlanta! It tastes amazing and the service is great.

Confession time: I don't like poke bowls. If you're like me, the word 'poke' makes you think of raw fish, and perhaps the thought of raw fish evokes some queasy feelings. I get it; I'm right there with you. But I hope you won't let that keep you from trying Bowl Lab. Non-fish eaters will be happy to find out they've added gyudon beef, tofu, cooked shrimp, and chicken to the menu of protein offerings. Besides proteins, there's a lot of other customizations available, from the rice/salad base, to the mix-ins and sauces. My compunctions with my meals here have been few but notable. First, there seems to be a limit to the number of crunch toppings (e.g. onion crisps, fried garlic, rice puffs, furikake, etc.) that you can add atop your bowl. I'm a big fan of contrasting textures in my meal, so I've often wished I could add more than the maximum of two tiny spoonfuls. My other drawback is sheerly a me-opinion. There's plenty of sauces available, but I've yet to find one that hits just right for me. Some are muted, others are overpowering. My personal favorite is a spicy mayo, which most poke bowl joints seem to have, but Bowl Lab is surprisingly without. Since the sauce comprises such a significant part of the meal's resulting flavor, I've sometimes brought my own Sriracha mayo to the restaurant to ensure I'll have a happy meal. All that said, everything is always incredibly fresh. There's never any fishy smell - in the restaurant or in our bowl - and we often leave feeling satisfied with the serving size. Service here has always been quick, efficient, and polite. There's a limited number of tables and stool seating against the windows, but it's often pretty quiet in here and we've never struggled to find seats.

Bowl Lab is my favorite poke spot in the area! It is located in Vinings, next to Cafe Comma. It is really nice inside, and they have a good amount of seating. I appreciate that there is a free parking deck, as well as a few short term spots out front. The first time I went, I wasn't sure what to get, and the staff was really helpful to help me decide. I got the sunny salmon bowl, which is so tasty and definitely my favorite! I love the pineapple in that one, as well as the crab salad and shrimp that are added to it! You can also build your own bowl, which is always fun. The ingredients are always fresh. The pricing is good. A regular bowl is $10.85, a large is $12.95, and and x-large is $14.95. Definitely check it out if you haven't been!

First time trying a Poke bowl establishment and I am in love! I was looking for something semi healthy yet filling for opt and decided to try somewhere outside my normal "greens and grains" type joint. Upon walking in, I see that this is a very popular place as the staff cranked out numerous in person and online orders. Despite being busy, the staff answered any questions I had as a poke newbie and helped me create a delicious bowl

Lauren A.

I absolutely love this place! I come here about twice a month! The bowl is very delicious and filling!

Unfortunately, there aren't enough fast food joints with a focus on fresh salads but lucky for me, Doc Green's was right on my pathway for the day. Located in a huge plaza in Smyrna, Doc Green's is a salad lovers dream. I can't believe this was my first visit! The restaurant itself is narrow but long, offering plenty of seating in the back of the place, as well as the entryway. Doc Green's is actually paired with another restaurant it seems, but I was focused on the salad. They have some recommended combos but you can also create your own with a wide array of toppings. I was in heaven looking at all of the fresh veggies, proteins and dressings available. I decided to create my own and just went wild. I was super bummed because I ended up forgetting some favorites (like avocado) because I didn't see/notice them on the cold bar. I chose my dressings, had it mixed up and then checked out. I opted for a fountain drink and unfortunately, the lemonade was toooooo sweet. But that was the only downside because my salad was wonderful!! Everything was fresh, the portions were generous and I felt like I got my money's worth. I'm always in the Akers Mill plaza buying things I don't need so I can't wait to grab another salad at Doc Green's when I'm in the neighborhood!

We also took the bread pudding to go huge slice, homemade taste, and a great way to end the meal. If we're on this side of town again, we'd definitely come back. Our waitress did a good job very helpful snd friendly!

I have hesitated for months to write this review because there is always a line and I didn't want to encourage anyone to get in front of me but...to be fair, they deserve a great review. First, the chicken is amazing, the salsas and tortillas are amazing and they have Dos Equis Amber on draft. What's not to like. They have open comfortable seating inside and a huge outdoor garden as well. I have ordered a lot of their smoked, wood fired rotisserie chicken. I've also ordered several different tacos. My recommendation is always order more than you can eat. The leftovers are great. I throw some chicken, cheddar and their ranchero sauce on a tortilla and eat every bit of their leftover chicken. You order at a counter but that's fine. You get your food faster. They have a great system and the staff are great. Again, what's not to like?

I've eaten at many L&L Hawaiian Barbecue locations throughout Hawai'i, and I'm even friends with Eddie Flores, one of the founders of L&L. So when I find an L&L on the mainland, I'm always interested to see how it compares to what I remember from back home. I ordered the Loco Moco, and it definitely hit the spot--rice topped with hamburger patties, plenty of brown gravy, and fried eggs. Once those runny yolks mix with the gravy and rice, that's pure local-style comfort food. The macaroni salad was creamy and exactly what you want alongside a plate lunch.
