a nicer chipotle with healthier options stuck in the 2010s. nothing to rave about but worth trying once.

I'm a fan! I wasn't expecting to be but have come here 3 times in the past week when I needed a quick meal and healthy option. The line can get long but it moves fairly quick. There is also an option to place your order online if you prefer to order ahead. I've tried the 4 and 6 bowl and find 4 bowl to be the perfect amount. The portions are pretty decent so 6 was almost too much for me. If you have a big appetite go for the 6. 4 bowl = 2 base, 1 veggie, 1 protein 6 bowl = 2 base, 2 veggie, 2 protein My favorites are the coconut rice, kale slaw, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, and tofu. They offer sweet potatoe noodles which is like Korean japchae (glass noddles). A variety of fresh juices, I recommend the black currant tea! If you're looking for a sweet treat without feeling terribly guilty, try the zucchini brownies - yum! Indoor and outdoor seating available. A great new addition to Waterford Lakes! read more

The food is great, but the customer service is lacking. The associates working behind the counter are hit or miss as far as our friendliness. Today I ordered to go, the cashier didn't speak to me, so when I went to ask for a lid and then a bag she had to stop as she was walking away to continue a conversation with the coworkers before I had even put my card up from paying. Wish the my were friendlier and more attentive but the food is worth it. I do wish the servicing size on the protein was larger, the small scoop leveled off is only a few bites. read more

Honestly the best dish I've had in a while. The creamy white ginger brought everything together. I had a 6 bowl and I am full! That almost never happens when I eat "fast" food. It is on the pricey side, possibly because I had so many add ons (guacamole, pesto tomatoes, feta, an extra sauce). The brussel sprouts were crazy good! The tuna was fresh and not fishy tasting. I am just truly impressed by this place. Will definitely return. I simply don't have a negative thing to say about the place. Even the staff was nice! read more

This is probably one of my favorite quick service franchises! I have eaten at all of the Florida locations! I first discovered them 2 years ago in Tampa! I love that there are so many options and they are ALL GLUTEN FREE! besides all the other dietary needs they meet! whether you are vegetarian Vegan, Soy free or just like to eat healthy fresh food!! This is the place to be!! read more

Fresh Kitchen - Fun lunch day with friends - New American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Recently had to go on a strict gluten free diet. Sooo many things that's considered gluten free seem to also lack good taste. I looked up this restaurant online and finally went to try it out. I was blown away and extremely happy with the food and experience. Everything was fresh and the salmon was nicely cooked. I had to share with the others I know who have made a lifestyle change. Highly recommend to others. read more

For $13 and the portion and that it's healthy I'd say this is a win. My only complaint that it isn't closer to where I am staying. I'm not an east sider so I look forward to this chain being closer to the downtown core. But at least I have an option when I am staying on the east side. Next time I'm definitely ordering online as the line was a bit long at 2pm on a Wednesday. Tasty healthy food quick? Win in my book. read more

QUALITY FOOD! I loveeeeeeee this food! It's set up similar to Bolay. You get to pick your base ( assortments of rice, kale, sweet potato noodles, etc.), vegetables, protein, and sauce. I love that this place has healthy, AND tasty food! I would love to see this pop up as much as I see chipotle around. There aren't enough locations. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they charge extra for certain items such as tomatoes and cheese, and it can get pricey-ish. read more

Fast service and a great atmosphere! The food was so good and their strawberry lemonade was amazing! The green beans had great flavor. 10/10 experience read more

Amazing service, very kind workers! Cassidy came and got our empty bowls. We're cleaning the tables very consistentl! The BBQ chicken was very delicious and flavorful. The sweet potatoes were delicious and I would recommend to all my friends! The mash potatoes and rice were also very tasteful and enjoyable! read more

I love this restaurant. Reminds me of Chipotle, with better tasting food and healthier. BTW FK, you should take a tasting sample menu over to Chipotle and steal their customers. I guarantee you, they will never return. LOL I digress, I normally get the Quinona, Spicy rice, Sweet potato noodles, Steak and Barbecue chicken. Absolute delicious. read more

Today my boyfriend & I visited Fresh Kitchen. Both of us enjoy healthy diets so we figured it would be great fast food run! Honestly everything looks so delicious here, as our predictions were correct! The atmosphere is so cute & I love all the bright colored decor. I think the hardest part is deciding what goes with what. My concoction is the clean green rice, sesame green beans, roasted mushroom, baked almond chicken, herb grilled steak, kale pesto potatoes with the herb balsamic vinaigrette. It sounds like a lot all in one, but it paired pretty well. I got the six bowl & had enough for lunch & dinner. I can't wait to return! I'm excited to try the tuna! read more

Okay. So lots of great reviews on here and I see why, but I'm going to have to dissent just a bit. First off, I got the Six bowl with spinach, sweet potato noodles, Thai chicken, and baked chicken. It was good. I enjoyed it. I would order it again. But it wasn't a 5-star ranking. Where I dissent is that for what you get the price is about $1 or $2 more than what the quantity or quality demands. They nickel and dime you for just adding tomatoes, I think she said an additional $1.50 for a small scoop. Also, everything was way way over-salted, and I don't mind salt at all. Service was good and the place was clean. However, the noise level was crazy loud for only being half-way full. read more

I'm in love with their bbq chicken. The cauli mash is bomb and I'm also a big fan of their rice selection. You always feel great after eating here. read more

I come from Boca where I think this now franchise started and I've heard that this location was different so I had to see myself. The inside of the place was about the same, staff are really friendly right when you walk in so that's always a plus for me. Location is great so I know they'll do well with it being in Waterford and having plenty of parking. Now comes down to the food, which I always get the same thing, 4 bowl with coconut rice and spice rice, steak with broccoli and avocado. Everything was really good as usual, I found the avocado was done well cause it was actually mashed and not huge chunks some times like the Boca spot. Only complaint I have was the portion of my steak was terrible in comparison to the Boca location. I had taken one piece and it already looked like my bowl was practically finished. I think I had about 7 pieces of steak which to me was terrible. All in all, the food was really good as usual. They just need to correct the portion of the "protein" in my opinion read more

Fresh Kitchen - In my bowl I had Spinach, green beans, mushrooms, beans, cauliflower mash, tuna and salmon that came with 2 sauce - New American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

They place is well themed and has amazing flavors of drinks to choose from. The only thing that this place doesn't have going for it is a variety. I hope you like bowls and getting charged for everything! It's s a bootleg chipotle that is somehow more expensive in the end. read more

Really similar to Dig Inn or Sweet Green, Fresh Kitchen is a FL-chained restaurant specializing in customizable healthy bowls from fresh ingredients. You can choose how many bases/veggies you want by picking a 6 bowl or 4 bowl. Adding in proteins that are prepared in-house daily and sauces, there are endless opportunities. I can already tell that I'll be coming whenever I'm too lazy to prep my own meals. I went during the Friends and Family event prior to their grand opening and it was packed!Super colorful decor and really friendly staff. They got my order wrong twice, which is expected in their first two weeks of opening, but I will most definitely be back. My favorite has to be the proteins - I got the pesto chicken and tuna poke and they were full of flavor. Welcome to Orlando Fresh Kitchen!! read more

My absolute favorite casual dining spot in East Orlando!!! Located beside Waterford Lakes' Best Buy, this location has a convenient setting with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. An assembly line ordering system allows you to construct an eat-in/to-go bowl filled with healthy, delicious and quality items. Vegetarian and carnivorous options available. Clean eating dessert options available with no white flour/refined sugar ingredients. Highly recommend ordering a fountain drink as there are a variety of infused waters/flavored teas/etc. to enjoy. read more

Would be helpful to have additional signage about the fact that you all aren't offering inside seating right now. There was a tiny sign on the EXIT DOOR THAT NO ONE GOES IN. I don't mind sitting outside but it is hot as hades and probably would have made me change my mind in choosing an establishment to eat. I LOVE this restaurant but I don't always feel like you guys are always about the customers read more

So fun to have choices of FRESH! Veggies and protein served by smiling faces - who could ask for more? A little confusing on the first trip but well worth the learning curve :) Stop by here after a long day and have a FRESH dinner and feel better. You're welcome. read more

I went here as a last resort since I attempted to go to Domu. I am glad I went here and would definitely come here again. Healthy dish you create which I love. Think Chipotle kind of setting but way healthier. I picked their two base/two veggies/two protein at $9.99. Great price and awesome portion. I ordered brown rice, cauliflower mash, tuna, almond chicken, sweet potatoes and broccoli. My sauce is their white sauce. I will definitely come here. Fast service, helpful staff (helped me choose), and great healthy food. Come here if you are looking for something healthy and not too filling. read more

Delicious food that you don't feel bad about eating! Fresh Kitchen offers a clean and aesthetic environment to enjoy healthy but flavorful bowls.

10/2/18 UPDATES- sooo, I had to knock my review down from my 5 star rating and it truly breaks my heart. I love fk I really do.. to the point that I come here around 2-4x a week! But lately... I think they have been truly stingy... way too stingy.... the quality is not the same ... they have a following now so maybe they don't care as much? Idk but for 10-12$ a bowl I should be getting quality chicken and not these skimpy ass bowls ... the bowls I've been getting are pathetic... I've been holding my tongue about my bowls but my last bowl was so pathetic.. I have to say something, I wrote them on IG and sent pictures.. they responded and said someone would take care of me and nothing! I've given FK my business, my friends and families business and I just feel like I was done wrong read more

Really surprised with how tasty the Kale Slaw was! It was sweet and tangy, and adding some of the feta cheese added the right kind of saltiness to enhance it. Had brown rice and the citrus chicken with it as well. Super delicious and filling meal. Big thanks to Trinity for helping me out and the conversation! read more

There's no reason this isn't a 5 star review other than the consistantly overcook the protein. BBQ chicken is delicious but burned to coal on the edges. The citrus chicken, good flavor but dry! Salmon? Nope, no better. Why kill the animals twice? I shouldn't need a sauce to make my dish moist. If they would sous-vide then quick grill for color then it would stay moisture rich but instead they cook the holy heck out the protein. Other than that, i literally love everything about the food. I've taken to going vegetarian on my bowls because I can't stand the protein cooking process flaws. Will i eat there again, yup. Going again today but the kitchen crew need a meat thermometer and someone to show them how to use it. read more

Great food and service. We will be back even thou we live 45 miles away in Mims. Everything seems very fresh and hot. Salmon was to die for and chicken was too. read more

Always pleased with this location The service is phenomenal. My husband always orders from here its his go to place and he loves it. Thank you read more

The food and sauces here are phenomenal and healthy. Clean and fast, it works every much like a Chipotle where you pick what you want in it. I got the spinach and quinoa as the bases, poke as the protein and the broccoli as the veggie. Pair the bowl with the ginger sauce and jalapeño sauce. Would highly recommend! read more

Fresh Kitchen - New American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I can't believe I'm just now getting around to reviewing Fresh Kitchen when I've been eating there since I moved to Waterford Lakes in January. I eat here at least once a week or every other week. The thing is, in January, this would've been a 5-star review all day, but after being a regular for so long, I have to knock it down a bit. Let's start with the food. If you're on some sort of strict diet, like paleo, low-carb, whole 30, keto, gluten-free, vegetarian, etc. it's easy to find something here to fill your plate. The veggies and meats change every couple months, and it's nice to try a different combination each time. Everything is so flavorful. There's some magic way they take 6 different things that would never go together and somehow make them go together. Their sweet potato noodles, as others have mentioned, are amazing. You'd have no idea they're gluten-free, but I do wish they were served hot. More on this later. The protein options are definitely the highlight. They usually have 3-4 different types of chicken, my favorites being the almond chicken (GF chicken tender) and the teriyaki chicken. I've yet to try the steak or tuna because it's already pretty pricey as it is. More on this later, too. The veggies are a major hit or miss. Sometimes they're really fresh, and sometimes they seem like they've been sitting around for a while. There is very little consistency in the seasoning, and something is usually way too salty. The selection, however, is nice, especially with all the rotating items. Back to the food temps. If you eat-in, your meal is going to be warm. Never hot. If you take it to go, just accept that you'll be eating cold food when you get home. I'm not sure why, but they just haven't gotten around to getting the heat-holding quite right. And if you order the cold bases, like the sweet potato noodles or quinoa, they somehow suck the heat out of the other hot items. Now, back to the price. It's $8-10 to get a bowl with either 4 or 6 items. In the past, it was a pretty good deal because I could easily get two meals out of a six-bowl (I don't eat much, though). Lately they've gotten stingier with their portions. They also uncharge for everything: parmesan cheese, feta, tomatoes, guac, salsa, extra sauces, any meat other than chicken, just to name a few. Your $10 bowl can easily become $12-15 with a few simple additions. They go for a Chipotle-type experience, but should really include more add-ins with the price. That being said, it's still a great option for health-conscious people looking for something other than a salad. I did Whole30 and was still able to order a lot of the items here thanks to most of the food being gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, etc. The combinations are endless and it's tough to get bored eating here. The service is always great - friendly, engaged team members. I'm going to continue coming back simply because you can't get something this healthy to-go anywhere else. I just wish they could figure out how to keep the food hotter and the portion sizes and flavors more consistent. read more

Friends and I wanted a light dinner so we tried this place out . I had the salmon with cauliflower potato mash kale salad , mushrooms and pesto tomatoes ! Supper filling super delicious obviously more expensive than your average place but well worth it. read more

Came here Saturday with a friend highly recommend. Line was a little long but we were quickly attended to. I ended up with cauliflower potato mash, sweet potato noodles, roasted mushrooms, roasted sweet potato, grilled citrus chicken, teriyaki chicken, and coconut Sriracha. Overall, it was good. I'm Hispanic and I'm used to my food having a lot of flavor. To me personally, some of it didn't. Like the sweet potato noodles and grilled citrus chicken. Luckily, I dipped the citrus chicken in the coconut Sriracha and that kinda did it for me. Normally, I find organic places don't really season some of their food like that to protect the integrity of the meal, which I get. Not completely for me but not bad. read more

I have seen fresh kitchen piping up around town and was interested in trying them out. Unfortunately, they tend to be busy and I don't like to wait when I'm hungry. Yesterday, after church so decided to check them out a and I was going to wait no matter how long. To my surprise upon arrival there was now line and this cute cozy establishment was smelling delicious. All the food was fresh and served in bowl. i like being greedy so I chose the six bowl which allows for 2 bases, 2 vegetables and 2 proteins plus sauce. My bowl that I created was absolutely delicious and you should try. The ingredients I choose were the I doubled my base with the Spice Rice followed with my two veggies of lemon garlic broccoli and golden spice chickpeas. The two proteins I chose are grilled citrus chicken and the grilled herb steak then topped my bowl of with some guacamole, pico, herb balsamic vinaigrette and creamy white ginger sauce. The fresh made Strawberry Fresca was a nice refreshing addition to the my meal. I can't wait to return and try other combinations. read more

Used to come here all the time for a quick and healthy bite to eat but now I stay clear, unfortunately. Service and food has lacked lately---not as fresh or flavorful like before. read more

Healthy and delicious, steak was tender, power rice is amazing, bbq chicken on point and coconut sriracha is fire!

Their seasonal stuff is ridiculously good. Every once in a while, I pop in and see if they have something new on the menu. This winter's menu is something else. The herb salmon, the truffle potatoes and the brussels sprouts all go well together (at least for me) and the sweet potato mash makes my little girl very happy. As long as you take responsibility for yourself and make the right menu choices, this is one of the healthiest places to eat 'til you're full. If there is any negative criticism I can think of, sometimes the food can be over-salted and the meats can be dry. Whenever that happens for me, I usually end up taking leftovers home and watering them down for another meal. A little bit of a bother, but not enough to get me to stop coming at all. read more

They don't disclose their calories on any of their menus both online or in person. Hmmm....
