Healthy, yummy, fair priced. I ordered from here in dire need of some greens in my diet and they didn't let me down! I got a bowl with a brown rice base, roasted chicken, and citrus ginger sauce. The bowl came with a free (mistake so complimentary) vinaigrette and was packed to the brim. Chicken was good quality and greens all fresh. It was a bit spicier than I expected due to the Jalapeño but that made it even better if anything! Overall, highly recommend. read more

Freshroll - Bowl - The Freshroll - Pan Asian Near Me - Berkeley, California

Freshroll was my go-to during college. I ate here at least once a week and never got sick of it. Their spring rolls are filling, delicious, and don't make you feel like crap for eating out. I've never had the little crispy tube of goodness in a spring roll elsewhere. Their drinks are also usually creative and refreshing. Download Snackpass if you're going to eat here-- it's not hard to build up rewards for a free sandwich now and then. read more

I'm very sadden to say that my takeout has a fly in it today. I ordered through Yelp and neither GrubHub or Freshroll would pick up for me to call in a replacement, so I don't think can in good conscious recommend ordering here. Guess I'm skipping lunch read more

Good atmosphere, restaurant is too small to really eat at. Taking the food to-go is the more go to option for the size of the establishment. Food tastes great, is healthy, and offers a good sized portion. If it weren't for the price tag, I would be going consistently. ~$12 for a bowl. read more

Pretty good Viet place for FRESH spring rolls & sandwiches --Fresh rolls + garlic shrimp: THE SHRIMP WAS SO FRESH, ingredients are all very fresh as well, will reorder, mini crispy egg roll throughout the middle of the roll so that you get a little bit of crunch w/ every bite --Fresh rolls + extra roasted chicken: chicken was delicious, fresh, mini egg roll in the middle too --sandwich spicy porker +  extra roasted chicken: almost a little too much meat (but no complaints), bread was crispy, could have more veggies, eat sandwich like a taco so things don't fall out --Viet cold brew coffee: way too much ice...bittersweet taste, would not reorder ORDERING: Via Snackpass or in-person...5-10 min pick-up time read more

I really wanted a healthy food option near campus and this is one of the only spots by me. I got 15% off my first order with snack pass and I got the tofu fresh roll and a side of papaya salad. The papaya salad was SUPER good and fresh tasting. I also paired the roll with the peanut sauce and enjoyed it very much. read more

Great little hole in the wall, especially if you're looking for Southeast Asian-inspired dishes. Always friendly service and great turnaround time for online orders. My personal favorite is the lemongrass pork (either in roll or bowl form) paired with the house peanut sauce. If you're looking for a simple, healthy, and delicious meal to go, Freeshroll is the place to go. read more

Love love love freshroll! I always order this when I'm near campus or stuck at the library. It's a healthy option and comes with enough food for two meals. I really love the nam nam sauce and how flavorful it is. My go-to dish is the freshroll bowl with chicken, rice, and nam nam sauce! The banh mi's are also super yummy. read more

I'm on a mission to basically try every banh mi in my side of Berkeley, and Freshroll gives a good deal for a small banh mi if you're not looking to be mega full of bread! That namnam sauce is also something you won't find at other Vietnamese establishments, and it's ridiculously addictive. I've also had their bowls, and while they're on the pricey side, they're also packed with veggies and toppings. The chicken here is also really good and well-seasoned! I also like that the vegetarian option includes both tofu and mushroom; just tofu as a protein option can get tiring. read more

OMG! This is my favorite lunch spot in the Bay Area. The food is so fresh and mega-tasty. Nice warm spicy treat to give your day a kick in the pants. Plenty of veg-friendly options. A must try! read more

Freshroll - Spicy Porker sandwich - Pan Asian Near Me - Berkeley, California

I'm a big fan of East Asian food and I had to try this place. The place seems very inviting with its fresh cool colours and quaintly image. They still don't allow seating as of July 2021 but you are able to order via the screen or on the phone and only to go. The customer service is not great or I at least didn't feel it. I had no connection or inviting feel from the staff. Even for people who come and pick up their food are not greeted or ask the name. The food was great and had good flavour. I had two banh mi type of sandwiches and they were very good. It's difficult to come to a place where it's not welcoming or at least greeted well. Would I come back? I don't know. Two full stars for the food. read more

Honestly, I have been very disappointed the last few times at Freshroll. For $14 (15.50 after tax) I should not be hungry after the bowl. The portions have decreased so much it's ridiculous. I'd rather have the price be increased to $15 and get a better bowl. This is sad. Hoping this gets better! read more

Freshroll - Only half full bowl! - Pan Asian Near Me - Berkeley, California

I've come back for the freshroll bowls and haven't had any incidents since my first review so it was time for an update! I love the variety in every bowl and this place has risen the ranks of my go-to take out restaurants with their fresh vegetables, succulent proteins, and tangy sauces. I always get the freshroll bowl with pork and I'm always just as excited to dig in as the last time. Since they have a snackpass store, customers get to try one of their sandwiches for free after enough purchases (currently 12). Thanks for bringing a fresh take on take out to Berkeley! read more

I love that there is another healthy and filling option near campus besides Chipotle and Ladle & Leaf. You can customize your bowl with rice or salad, and choose all meat, vegetables and sauces. There are also default bowls if you don't want to go through that hassle! I got my bowl with the pork and a salad base with a Vietnamese chili sauce. I loved how fresh the ingredients were, but the only downside was the pork was a bit dry. My friend got the chicken bowl and he loved how much customization there is. He couldn't finish and saved half of his bowl for another meal. Great spot for fresh food and personal customization. read more

This is THE best spring roll I've ever had and the bowls here are excellent as well. The pork, shrimp, and chicken proteins are all great options. My favorite condiments are the fresh red sauce and the peanut sauce. I could drink the red sauce from the container it's that good. I like to get extra sauce to take home and eat with some home cooking. The spring rolls are a good portion and surprisingly filling - I typically order 2 and I struggle to finish the second one. They're stuffed to perfection and are so fresh tasting. The crispy fried wonton wrapper that comes inside each spring roll is the perfect crispy texture that really elevates the roll. I've never tried to build my own bowl here because I think the pre-crafted selections are good as is. My favorite combo of veggies would be Seoul Sensation and the North Shore bowls. read more

We really enjoyed the food, wouldn't eat it as a weekend treat but found it hearty and healthy. Things we would definitely order again: Spicy pork with rice: although the broccolini has some very tough stems and was not the most enjoyable, my partner felt it was tasty and nourishing. He ordered it with double pork but wouldn't double next time because the portion of meat is enough for a dinner. He liked the vinaigrette sauce, which is not spicy, both of us enjoyed it. He preferred pork to chicken. Chicken bowl: the chicken was generally tender although with some gristly pieces. It has a marinade that is quite sweet, and the meat is cut in long spearlike chunks that are much more than a mouthful, so eating it with a fork is awkward. I didn't like the sweetness of the peanut sauce and it had an unpleasant aftertaste for me, maybe the herbs? But overall would eat chicken bowl again. Tofu bowl: Great fried tofu with lovely taste and texture. I liked avocado as an addition in all the bowls. The citrusy sauce was pleasant although very tangy, not as good as the vinaigrette to my taste. I also tried the Nam Nam sauce, which tastes strongly of mayonnaise, has a little kick but not too spicy, and was great as a dressing on the greens. I left cucumber and pickled vegetables out of my bowl and regretted it because they are both really good, cucumber is in thin julienne strips and pickled vegetables were tasty (mostly carrot and radish I think). I also loved the added omelet. Things we might not order again: The garlic noodles were a little sweet, not that exciting or craveable and tasted a little too much of raw garlic (we got them without the furikake topping,maybe they are better with furikake) The house FreshRoll was nothing very special, we preferred the bowls (to be fair though, we ate it the next day so maybe it's good when first made!) All in all a solid choice for healthy dinners. read more

Fresh Roll takes over Eatsa's long vacated space. limited seating. understaffed-2 people working inside and counter. drill: order, pay, wait, for food on counter while cashier takes new order. (understaffing/training issue) not much waiting area. offerings: sandwiches, bowls, proteins, beverages eats: portobello sandwich(7.99) -sandwich filled with daikon, carrots, parsley, jalepeno, 2 pieces of portobello mushroom. mininum flavoring, i.e no pate, mayo, fish sauce. just slight house vinegarette not tastable. crumbs: -terrible value. 7.49 just for base (bowl of rice...+ protein 2.49) -sandwiches mostly vegetable fillings, little protein. not fusion at all not a good value. does taste fresh. bakers' roll tasted fine, but not typical baguette. -cool that management reached out. offered a comped menu. since it would replicate experiece. said no. resolution was to cancel transaction. *good ingredients used. just not fitting my tastes. it may fit yours. 3.5 stars read more

Freshroll is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Berkeley! After discovering their tofu banh mi, their sandwiches became my go-to takeout meal. There was a point when I would eat one of their sandwiches at least once a week. Sandwiches are one of the easiest on the go meals, but it can be hard to find solid meatless sandwich options that I'd be willing to pay for. I love using the Snackpass app to order ahead. The meal is almost always ready on time or early. As mentioned, I typically order a large tofu banh mi sandwich. I've had a fair amount of tofu banh mis and Freshroll's is definitely one of my favorites. The sandwich includes fried tofu slices, pickled vegetables, jalapeno, cilantro, cucumber, and namnam sauce. When ordering on Snackpass, I usually customize my sandwich so it doesn't include jalapeno or cucumbers. Part of what makes their banh mis so enjoyable is the way the tofu is fried. I think it adds a nice texture. Also, I love the namnam sauce! I think it must be some sort of sweet spicy (sriracha?) mayo. I really like the subtle spice and sweetness. I do think that there is sometimes a little bit too much sauce for my liking, but that might just be a personal preference. One sandwich is a little under $10, which is generally a little bit high for a sandwich, but $10 is typical for any meal in Berkeley (and might even be on the cheaper side). One large sandwich usually makes 1.5 to 2 meals for me, so I think it's worth it! I would recommend Freshroll to anyone looking for a quick meal, especially if vegetarian! read more

If you're looking for a fast, casual restaurant that uses high quality ingredients, tastes amazing, and is still reasonably prized with generous portion sizes, Freshroll is THE spot for your Vietnamese craving fix! Stopped by the soft opening and fell in love with the food here! We got the: + Saigon Swag Bowl with Papaya, Chicken, Nam Nam Sauce: So tasty and so fresh! Very impressed with the high quality ingredients. The variety of proteins and sauces available keeps someone like me who prefers very savory foods extremely satisfied. I definitely recommend trying out the bowl (with the papaya) if you're looking for something refreshing and healthy! + Pork Banh Mi: Wow!!! The baguette was toasted perfectly. The ratio of meat to the rest of the ingredients in the sandwich was also well done. They definitely don't skimp, and everything is so flavorful. + Vietnamese Coffee: DELICIOUS and strong. Overall, this is a trendy but casual restaurant that produces high quality food at a great price. I definitely recommend stopping by this location or any of the other ones in San Francisco if you get the chance. read more

I don't know why, but the two times I've been here it's been a miss. The first time I made my own bowl with garlic butter shrimp. I thought the shrimp would be hot/grilled but it was just cold. Then I tried the pork and it was extremely chewy, thin and hard. Maybe I just got a bad batch. Next time, I'll either get tofu or chicken and give them another chance. I like how you can build your own bowl with fresh vegetables, sauces, protein, and base. It's like a Vietnamese chipotle! They also have sandwiches, fresh rolls, and taro chips! It's a great, healthy option for a quick lunch on Telegraph which is great because most food on southside isn't the healthiest. The prices are decent, but there is not much seating, so most orders are taken to-go. read more

My absolute favorite bite to eat in Berkeley (tied with Mezzo)! I've been consistently going ever since I started school and I quite literally cannot count how many times I've gotten freshroll so far- about once a week on average during the school year. Their fresh rolls are amazing and a healthy, filling option (if you get 2). Favorite is the chicken + NamNam sauce. ($5 each) Banh mi's are quite decent and a good option for something that's easy to eat when you're on the go. Both the spicy porker and chicken banh mi options are good. (~$10 each) But the absolute love of my life from here has to be the Spicy Porker bowl. It literally brightens my day. You can choose different bases and sauces, but I get the vermicelli noodle base (or white rice) and NamNam sauce, and I love it. The bowl itself feels indulgent, but is well balanced with different vegetables and a fantastic flavor profile. Highly highly recommend. It's $14, and the portion is generous so it's super filling. (Tip: get sauce on the side unless you want a LOT of sauce on top, which sometimes, I do) Limited seating inside though, definitely a takeout kind of vibe. Fast service, reliable, and actually tastes so good. Live laugh love freshroll. Truly a staple in my Berkeley eats. read more

If you're looking for a quick and easy bite, freshroll is the place for you! You can order through the Snackpass app and your order is ready within 5-15 minutes. I've had both the banh mi and the vermicelli roll and both are delicious and affordable. Definitely recommend if you're in a rush and want something quick for on the go! read more

Oh hecksss yassss! Dropped by today for their soft opening and loved the bright layout, the adorable Oski on the wall and obviously being able to get something fresh, light and portable. I've been to the Freshrolls in SF and find myself craving it often. So it goes without saying it is pretty nice to have a healthier option on campus with all the other super over processed options around. If you feel like going light, but don't want to sacrifice favor and volume I would definitely recommend. New thing here are the Freshbowls, choose a base like rice, salad, green papaya (!!), then protein then flavor and sauces. I loved the combination - especially the Rising Sun with shrimp! I would also order the pork or shrimp freshrolls (shrimp are my fave!) and don't forget to try the taro chips! Yum! read more

Sad to say that my second experience here wasn't that great. Arrived an hour before closing and they were out of every meat. However, if I waited an extra 5 minutes, shrimp would be available. I decided to wait, because I was craving my protein. My order came out within the advertised time: vermicelli noodles, Saigon swag, Vietnamese vinaigrette, and shrimp. I even spent a little extra to get dark chips and extra sauce. Imagine my disappointment when I took my first bite and discovered that the shrimp tasted basically boiled, with no flavor at all. Also the flavor of their nuoc mam / vinaigrette wasn't as strong as last time -- and there weren't any cucumbers in my bowl. All the components for a great bowl of Vietnamese food were there, but none of the actual taste. I ate about half of the bowl before I decided the lack of flavor was enough for me. Additionally, the server forgot to give me my taro chips until I reminded her. And even then, the chips weren't as good as the ones I remember eating from their stores in SF. Berkeley Freshroll, sorry to say this, but I won't be coming back. Considering that only a week has passed since my last review, I am surprised that the quality of food and service has dropped so sharply. Super unfortunate since I had given you five stars last time ... read more

Overall I enjoyed my north shore chicken rice bowl with nam nam sauce. I didnt realize they forgot to add in the red cabbage until I left so I was at fault for not fixing my order. The chicken was tender and flavorful. I did feel like the ratio was too heavily on the rice portion though. Otherwise, the nam nam sauce really made the bowl so great since it's basically like a delicious aioli that has a little of a kick to it. It was interesting/little odd to see the pineapple cut into strips, but yummy nonetheless. The portion is pretty big for the price so it's a really good deal! Glad to see we have healthier options at Berkeley now and I can't wait to come back and try their sandwich and rolls. :) As for the interior, it's small with about 4 tables, but it feels cozy and welcoming! read more

My go-to spot when I'm on campus near southside. Think of it as an Asian-inspired Chipotle: reasonable prices and a filling meal. What more could you ask for? I usually grab a bowl with white rice or vermicelli noodles, lemongrass pork, and peanut sauce. Service is always fast but I typically order ahead on Snackpass to make sure there's no wait. The ingredients are always fresh and the meals are always well packaged. There's little seating inside, so takeout is basically the expectation. Bottom line: it's an absolute blessing to have this place so close to campus. read more
