Charred chicken bowl here is the bomb! That flavourful chicken with avocado and mashed sweet potatoes... oh my goodness, such a genius combination. You don't really need the bed of purple rice for this. It's good with those toppings alone. read more

Let's talk smoothie bowls! The moment I saw the vibrant pink base I knew I had to get my hands on the Tropical Pitaya bowl. Topped with ripe bananas, juicy strawberries, and luscious blueberries. The crunchy granola added the perfect texture. Drizzled with honey and sprinkled with chia seeds, it was a bowl of pure yum! If you're creative, opt for a Build Your Own Salad Bowl but if you're indecisive like me, you can go for a pre-built signature bowls. I opted for the Hungry Buddha, one of their many vegan options. You can choose from a variety of greens, veggies, and tasty toppings. I am quite anti-mushroom but let me tell you, the way these mushrooms were sautéed, completely changed my mind. The staff at the Adelaide location were so unbelievably kind and a pleasure to chat with! read more

ImPerfect Fresh Eats - Chipotle Chicken Bowl, Hungry Buddha Bowl, Tropical Pitaya Smoothie Bowl - Salad Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm Perfect is a hidden gem just steps from my office on Bay Street. I had the chipotle chicken bowl with broccoli and it was absolutely fantastic--fresh, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. The bowl came loaded with wild rice, lettuce, cucumber, corn, beets, tender chicken, and sweet potato that was surprisingly delicious. I chose the spicy peanut dressing, which tied everything together beautifully. It's rare to find something this tasty and wholesome right downtown. So glad I stopped in--I'll definitely be back, and this might just become a regular lunch spot. read more

ImPerfect Fresh Eats - Chipotle chicken bowl - Salad Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

As the original location of Imperfect Fresh Eats in Toronto (before the franchise gave birth to numerous other locations throughout the city), this one seems to be one of the busiest compared to some of the other locations. Food quality, taste, and menu selection are the same as any other ones - delicious, satisfying, healthy, nutritious, and I love the concept of using imperfect produce that would otherwise go to waste. I like the flexibility of choosing any number and combination of bases, proteins, toppings, and dressings / sauces. All the ingredients are fresh and all the proteins (at least the ones I've tried) are delectable, especially the lemongrass tofu. There are lots of vegan and vegetarian options here. Their dressings / sauces are also made in-house. I recommend the Garlic Avocado Aioli, Garlic Aioli, and Carrot & Ginger dressings. read more

Like a Chipotle for salad bowls. The bowls themselves seem unassuming but they are power packed with flavor and so good! They have a menu of pre-designed combinations or you can make your own. I decided to build my own. I chose two bases: mixed greens and roasted vegetables (yam, onion and carrots). I got the charred chicken as my protein that was very well cooked. If you come in person, they have two additional veggies you can add on for free: roasted potatoes or charred broccoli. From there, I was able to add on a bunch of goodies like edamame, beets, onions, bell peppers, carrots and corn. It was delicious and super filling! Nice way to get your greens and protein in and have a delicious and quick clean meal. read more

Order often when at work, fresh healthy salad bowls. I recommend the honey chicken bowl. Great sauce and fresh veggies.

Tonight we ventured to this location because the other location was closed on New Years Day and the food/service was fantastic. This location is very efficient and they make custom food bowls. I ordered the BYO Bowl and added spinach, black rice, portobello mushrooms, shrimps, pickled carrots, pickled beets, edamame, potato, sweet potato, broccoli, seaweed, carrot ginger sauce, and aioli. My dish was both gluten free and dairy free and the portion was huge. I would definitely order this again. My fiancé ordered the surf and turf bowl and they let him swap out some of the vegetables he wasn't a fan of. We both loved our bowls and will definitely be back. read more

I love a good smoothie bowl to make me feel full while being energizing. I was stuck in meetings all day so I had a Super Green Smoothie Bowl and a Peanut Butter Breakfast Smoothie delivered to me via UberEats. My courier was a bike and they actually package it really well so you don't have to be afraid of any spillage. The smoothie itself is sealed on the top similar to what you see at the bubble tea places. The smoothie bowl was a delight! I was a little worried that there wouldn't be enough toppings since there was so much base but it wound up to be just right. The smoothie on the other hand, wasn't my favourite. It was really sweet so I actually couldn't finish it. read more

My all time favorite healthy food spot and I love the message behind their brand - reducing food waste by using produce that are not "pretty" enough to meet the general grocery store standards but still perfectly to eat I love how they prep and diced tomatoes & beets in the store so they don't taste like those pre-made sad ones and homemade sauces was well Check them out if you're in the mood for healthy food with a good cause read more

Ate the bowl before I took a photo but it's still an excellent place. They've expanded their protein options compared to before, and they also offer signature bowls instead of just build your own. I still prefer building my own so that I can select from almost 20 different toppings. Pay the extra $1.50 for the upsize, it's worth it. Just make it a second meal if you can't finish in one sitting. read more

My husband and I had lunch at imPerfect Fresh Eats and we loved it! It's a build your own bowl or wrap sort of place. You pick your base, protein, and toppings. Large bowls are $11.50, small bowls are $9.95, and wraps are $9 regardless of your choice of protein. If you want to double your protein (or chose 2 different proteins, it's an additional $2.50). Bases include mixed greens, spinach, black rice and sweet potato noodles. You can do half and half at no extra cost. Proteins include Chipotle Chicken, Kalbi Steak, Garlic Butter Shrimp, Lemongrass Tofu, and Portobello Mushrooms. You get unlimited toppings! How cool is that, right? They have over 20 toppings and I don't remember them all, but I can tell you want to got on my bowl. So I got the small bowl with chicken. I got half black rice and half spinach. For toppings I got beets, green peppers, pickled daikon radish and carrots, mashed sweet potatoes, tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, feta cheese, crispy onions, and taro chips. My husband got a large bowl and 2 proteins (shrimp and beef) with half black rice and half mixed greens. We both really enjoyed our meals. The ingredients were fresh and everything was so tasty. I love their tagline: "Source ugly, serve beauty." So they use "imperfect" produce, so misshapen, ugly, overripe or bruised produce that is rejected by commercial supermarkets. They save such produce from going to waste and in turn provide the farmers with additional income. Truth be told, my bowl looked and tasted like bowls at stores that use "perfect" produce. In fact, the taste was better than most other places. Service was very courteous. When we were there, it appeared that they were training a new staff member, so there was some confusion and she had to go and ask for help for a lot of things, but this is understandable, and people have to learn somehow, so I forgive this entirely, since in the end we got exactly what we ordered. I can't rave about imPerfect Fresh Eats enough. The food is healthy, delicious, and reasonably priced. I like the philosophy of saving rejected produce from being wasted, and the decor is pretty sweet too. If I still lived in Toronto, I would be here all the time :) read more

This is honestly the best value for quality poke I've had...like, ever. Less than $10 for a "regular" (read: large) bowl with any protein of your choice and unlimited toppings? Sold! What's more, neither the quality nor the quantity was compromised at all. As soon as I picked up the order (use Ritual to get $5 off the first time) I immediately noted how heavy it was, absolutely packed to the brim. The lemongrass tofu that I got came in these numerous, huge chunks and with just the right degree of seasoning and firmness. I also sampled the butter shrimp, which was just as savoury and delicious. All of the other ingredients tasted fresh and although there wasn't really anything unique about the offerings, the blend of flavours and textures was fantastic. My personal favourites were the corn salsa, pickled radish, and the sweet potato noodles (served warm). While it's mainly a takeout place, we were to find a table pretty easily even during lunch hour, and several seats opened up throughout our stay as well. The inside has really cute decor and was surprisingly not too loud or crowded. Not much to say about the service, but it seemed to go pretty quick - and you can always order ahead. Can't believe that it's taken me so long to come here! I feel like I've said this before - fickle customer that I am - but this will be my go-to poke spot from now on. read more

Really good sauces on their bowls, love the garlic aioli. Fresh vegetables and delicious broccoli. Yum yum yum. Great for vegans/vegetarians/people who want a good serving of healthy veg. read more

I love the concept of this place and I'll definitely be here during my lunch breaks more often. I came with a friend and we were both very impressed by the portions and taste. I ordered a small BYOB with garlic butter shrimp. What I love most about this place is the flexibility they give you with your bowl. They let you mix and match the base and you can add an unlimited amount of toppings. I had the sweet potato noodle and forbidden black rice as base, and got a bunch of things for topping, including red onions, taro chips, pickled radish, edamame, cucumber, tempura bits, corn, tomatoes, and sweet potato mash. I topped it off with garlic and chipotle sauce. Though the bowls look shallow, they really surprised me. The bowl felt almost bottomless and I was super full and satisfied by the end. Everything tasted fresh and yummy. To add on to that, the price point is great ($9.95) because they use "ugly" produce which would otherwise be thrown away. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. It's definitely worth it, not to mention that it's decorated adorably as well :) read more

ImPerfect Fresh Eats - Build your own bowls - Salad Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I never knew eating healthy could be so delicious! Imperfect eats makes beautiful and nutritious food using imperfect produce, so consumers are able to still get their nutritional boost for a lower value, without compromising on taste. Isn't that amazing? They offer premade bowls or you can Build Your Own! The customizations are endless! Ordered the Surf & Turf which consisted of Spring Mix and Sweet Potato Noodle Base. Kalbi and Garlic Butter Shrimp for protein, topped with Alfafa Sprouts, peppers, jalapeños, taro chips, sweet potatoes, and crispy onions with House-made Peanut sauce and Sweet Chilli sauce. As well as the Açai Blast smoothie (Braillian açai, banana, mango, and organic oat milk) All made with real fruits! For the Surf & Turf one of the staff recommended to add broccoli into it and he was right!! Everything tasted so good but the broccoli was my absolute fave! Also their peanut dressing is to die for.. kind of wish I got some more... I used the sweet chilli sauce to dip instead of mixing it in.. that's really personal preference. The sweet potato noodles had a chewy texture to it which I really liked as well. Perfect meal to cool off in the heat! The Açai Blast smoothie was really good too but I found the banana flavour to be overpowering the rest of the drink! They also offer Keto and Vegan options as well! read more

Let me start off by stating, that it's such a great value for money! I love that I can order a Large Build Your Own Bowl for $11.50 This includes, any protein of your choice and unlimited toppings!

We came in here to try out a bowl at this new restaurant. I ordered a bowl of tofu. This is literally the best tofu bowl I have ever had! Well seasoned with great texture. There are no limits or premiums when it comes to toppings so feel free to go crazy on the veggies! The name "imperfect" comes from the fact that this restaurant uses fresh fruits and veggies that are naturally imperfect shapewise. Therefore cutting the cost and reducing food waste at the same time. Looks perfect to me! Normally I don't review washrooms, but their washroom is on a whole new level! So fancy! It's basically a selfie room! Reasonable prices. Decent portions. Clean and modern place. Extremely quick and friendly service. Free WiFi available. read more

ImPerfect Fresh Eats - Tofu bowl - Salad Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Have you ever met a passionate owner who walks the talk? That's how I feel when I listen to ImPerfect Fresh Eats' elevator pitch! The food not only felt healthy, it also felt true to its mission. The owner started by seeking a new business model where he wanted to open a restaurant with affordable healthy delicious food. He discovers that sourcing produce is actually a lot more than he initially anticipated. To circumvent this, he decided to source imperfect produce that did not make it to supermarket or our dining table. These are, for example, avocados or peppers that are too small and did not meet the size requirement. Items at the restaurants are highly dependent on the season and whatever that is available at the terminal! Everything is sourced by the owners directly. We visited ImPerfect Fresh Eats for a tasting. I was very impressed by the care that was placed into the food. It was no surprise that ImPerfect Eats broke even in two months! Food not only tasted fresh, it was also warm. Protein was made to order! It felt like a very different experience compared to its fellow competitors like Freshii! I commend the owners for executing their vision to a T! I suspect Freshii is going to be in a hot-potato situation in a few years when ImPerfect expands! They may even be pulverized into a sweet potato mash ;) read more

Visit Imperfect Fresh Eats again. I found out they buy imperfect looking produce to lower the cost, and I love this philosophy because imperfect looking produce is consumable and it can reduce food waste too. I got to try the Asian noodles, chipotle chicken and sweet chilli Thai sauce in addition to the toppings I tried before. It is very tasty. This time I ordered the large and indeed a lot of food. I will order regular next time which is just right for lunch. Customer service of this place is super! Love to go back again! read more

ImPerfect Fresh Eats - Make your own bowl (small) $9 - Salad Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is awesome! Concept is exactly the same as all the other bowl/wrap places out there. You start off by picking a base and protein but the best part is being able to select as many toppings as you want. I think there are over 15 topping options and several sauces to choose from. ImPerfect is Definitely better than places like Cali love where they limit toppings to two or three. I ordered a small build your own bowl and it was packed to the brim and could easily be split into two meals. There is a large bowl option and you can always pay extra for more protein. Note: I ordered off Ritual and it was $9.50 for a small bowl last week but the price is now $9.95. Just an FYI although it's still cheaper than other bowl places and I'll definitely go back. Oh yeah, great customer service. Asian woman at the front stopped taking orders to ask about mine when she noticed I was standing in the Ritual pick-up spot for more than 10 minutes. 5 stars. read more

Got the BOGO vegetarian special for Farmers Harvest Bowl, with a purple/black rice base, and spinach, brussel sprouts, beet, roasted potato, corn, alfalfa sprout. Went with chipotle and caesar as the sauces but neither of them goes well with this bowl. Ill try another sauce next time. Flavours blend well together for the most part. I get the taro chip on top as decoration but there are some crumbled bits in the rice as well. Alarmed me when i took a spoon full of rice and there was a flavourless crunch (miminal taste bc small pieces mixed in) amidst my chews. Usually this means broken egg shell or a bug that flew in lol, i guess what im trying to say is that i wasnt expecting the taro chip in the rice too. As a garnish its fine, but it doesnt really make sense, and doesnt go well with the texture and flavours of other ingredients in this Farmers Harvest bowl. I dont know about you but i like to mix everything and just dig in. Perhaps if taro appeared as its originally root veggie texture, alike that of sweet potato, then it would blend in easier. You got all sorts of earthy, mouthful ingredients like avocado, potatoes, beet, and some juicy crunch textures like brussel sprouts, broccoli, corn, and spinach, with the final pizzaz of alfalfa sprouts. I think thats a good mix. Taro chip sounds chic, modern, and gives a creative twist, but it doesnt belong in a hearty veggie bowl. Well, it could belong on the side as a snack. Also could do with more of the alfalfa sprout as it was one bite and gone. The feta was toooo crumbly, i was expecting to see it in chunks. Maybe more of that too? Overall, generous portions and i will be back to build my own bowl next time. Heard the garlic shrimp is bomb. read more

Perfect lunch meal. Had the chipotle chicken bowl. Great portion, veggies fresh. Friendly staff.

This is one of my favourite lunch spots around work (my co-workers can vouch for this) and a continuous go-to for me! I have been at this location many times and tried pretty much most of their protein + base combos but now always get the same thing: a small bowl with spring mix as my base, charred chicken (dark meat), and a bunch of toppings since they offer unlimited (I pretty much put almost everything - cucumbers, beets, edamame, sweet corn, pickled carrots & radish, taro chips, crispy onions, croutons, marble cheese, feta cheese, parmesan cheese and then top it off with garlic aoli sauce)! They never fail to satisfy. They also sell smoothies and acai bowls and I recently tried the acai bowl and it was amazing. I highly recommend checking them out for lunch if you are looking for something filling and delicious in the downtown area. read more

you can't go wrong with the ingredients here! love the peanut sauce (reminds me of asian peanut sauces that go with glass noodles, which you can get here too). all their sauces, bases, and add-ons go well together. there is ample seating inside, and you can also order online. with all the delicious heavy foods in toronto, your body with thank you for coming here! read more

LUNCH Cozy place off the beaten path to grab a healthy and delicious bowl of protein and veggies! First time here and ordered the small bowl, which even for my fat ass is more than enough. :P They weren't kidding when they said "unlimited" toppings cuz I just went buck wild on the add ons (Imagine a busload of chinese tourists at a buffet) that was me with the toppings lol For sauce I tried the spicy peanut and sirarcha sauce. It was subtle but very tasty nonetheless. Shout out to the people on my friends list for being the 'guinea pigs' and recommending this amazing spot. Will definitely be back to try out different concoctions, Kudos! Keep it up! read more

I got the large shrimp bowl, loaded up with all the toppings. The protein portion was a bit small relative to the rest of the bowl; it seemed like the large version only had extra rice / veggies. While the shrimp were delicious, the rest of it including the sauces (peanut / thai sauce) were pretty bland. I thought it was overall just average, but maybe I just didn't get the right thing. read more

Disappointing. I really wanted this place to be great because i love the concept but flavors just weren't there and in the grand scheme of bowl places it was not one of the best. Pretty pricey, too. read more

Unlimited toppings!!! I say take that to all other restaurants that sell bowls. I love variety in my salads and bowls so that really sold me. Not to mention that their meats are fresh, hot, and very flavourful. I got extra avocados in my bowl, because, I felt like it. The taro chips are sooo good too. Tip: take the taro chip and dip it into the mushy avocado, and it is so perfect. They do bowls, and they do it well. It's not like other places where I'm waiting for them to make a million smoothies before they get to making my bowl. The space is super cute, and has a unique ceiling that is very IG friendly. They are very green and use biodegradable bowls, and even their sauce cup is biodegradable! Owners are super friendly and are very passionate about what they do, and how they do it. Keep using those imperfect vegetables. They end up in my stomach the same way anyway. I've requested that they make a spicier sauce. Not like I can handle all that much spice anyway, but I know people love that. I could also use a bit more spice! Make me cry Imperfect Fresh Eats! read more

Got hooked on this place after giving it a try thanks to their Ritual promo, and I'm glad I did. Not only is the premise of reducing food waste good, so are their salad bowls! For just $10, you get a fresh, filling, and delicious bowl filled with one or more of your base of choice, along with unlimited toppings. Will definitely eat here anytime I'm in the area. read more

One price for a bowl and unlimited toppings say no more! My friend and I were introduced to this place by another friend and since then we came back here several times in a short period lol. I usually order the large size ($13) and choose the kalbi steak with everything except spinach for the base (mixed greens, black rice and sweet potato noodles). For sauce I go for the spicy peanut sauce (not spicy don't worry lol). I love how they have beets, mashed sweet potato, and alfalfa sprouts here. Definitely a healthy meal choice. Only downside I really noticed is that there is a ton of sodium in the food. First the sauce but also they add salt to the rice and noodles (I can taste it). Definitely watch out for how much sauce you get. One time my bowl was drenched in sauce (unfortunately don't have a photo of it). So I'm usually overly dehydrated after. Just a heads up. Especially since I am sensitive to salty foods I notice it more. Also a bowl usually lasts me like two meals because I ask for like almost every topping lol. read more

You mention salad, raw and healthy food and I will run the other way so fast that it will surely be a Guinness world book record lol. But then my friends told me they wanted to go to this place for kalbi beef, garlic butter shrimps, chipotle chicken and lemon grass tofu. I was like, let's go!! When we got there, I was horrified to discover that they were talking about salad bowls with these ingredients. But too late to back out, so I ordered a bowl of salad with butter shrimps and kalbi beef. Then they asked me to choose from a menu what other ingredients I would like for the base. I ended up choosing everything. One notable item was patato noodles since I havent tried it before. Then, just like the way they do it in Subway, you can choose all the veggies and cheeses and I chose pretty much a bit of everything, and then i selected a spicy peanut sauce to top it off,and the server also suggested adding sweet chili sauce to it as well. All that for just under $10 before tax! And BAM, best salad ever! I like how the shrimps and beef were warm. Everything was fresh and tasty. I begrudgingly enjoyed it haha. read more

Perfectly Imperfect Delicious Meals! I was introduced to Imperfect Fresh Eats a few days ago. It is a new salad bar styled restaurant that just opened recently on Adelaide West. Imperfect Fresh Eats seems to focus on the concept of using imperfect looking produce and oddly shaped items and turning them into the healthy tasty meal without sacrificing nutrition. This concept also helps to reduce food waste and to lower the overall cost for us! Sounds great to me! FOOD (4/5) It's a "build-your-own meal concept. You can choose either having a bowl or a wrap. Their wraps are $8 while their small bowls are $9.50 and the large bowls are $11.00. How to Order! Step 1- Choose your bowl size. Step 2 - Choose your Salad Base: Asian Sweet Potatoes, Black Rice, Spring Mix and Baby Spinach. You can mix all the bases if you like . Step 3 - Pick your Protein: Chipotle Chicken, Garlic Butter Shrimp, Kalbi Beef and Lemongrass Tofu. Step 4 - Add Toppings. Step 5 - Add Sauces. I had Chipotle Chicken and Garlic Butter Shrimp, mixed with all the bases and added all toppings! It was difficult to decide! They look fresh, colourful and pretty! Made me even more hungry when I watch them preparing my meal! AMBIANCE (4/5) I'm amazed by the fast service restaurants these days. They seem to care about their atmosphere and decoration more than before. Imperfect Fresh eats is one of them. The restaurant theme is based on White & Green Color with the lively green ceiling. It made me feel like I was dining in the garden. OVERALL (4/5) It's a good spot for grabbing a quick lunch to go. It's healthy and the price is reasonable. I would come back again and recommend it to other people. read more

Salads, Acai Bowls, and many more - Imperfect Eats strives to provide all people in Toronto with fresh food, made with imperfect produce. Recently opened for about a month now, Imperfect Eats has been thriving on Adelaide Street to provide healthy and reasonably priced items for its patrons and has attracted a variety of people to its doors. Upon first entering Imperfect Eats, I was immediately captivated by the ceilings - it was decorated very nicely with bright green vegetation, and bright light bulbs which captured a very fresh essence and ambiance. The inside was nice and polished, with great wall art as well (loved the quote Perfectly Imperfect on the wall!) I had the honour of meeting the owner himself, Jeff Dang, who was very happy to serve my friend and I that afternoon. All the staff were extremely friendly and helped with creating our bowls and wraps that we were going to test try for Imperfect Eats! The process to making our bowls was very comprehensive - you'd choose a protein at the beginning (some of the choices included Kalbi Beef, Chipotle Chicken, and Garlic Butter Shrimp) your base (which includes things such as spring leaves or glass noodles) and garnish this with a variety of different options, such as cucumbers, taro chips, fried onions, scallions, pickled carrots, sweet potato, edamame beans - you name it! Nearby the station was also a cute water station where you can get some fresh water that was garnished with limes for taste and scent. Once you've chosen the proteins, base and garnishes, it's all topped off with your choice of sauce - a popular choice of sauce was the Spicy Peanut, Ginger Carrot or Chipotle; it really depends on what kind of bowl you make! Be sure to ask the staff for suggestions, they are always eager to help you make the perfect lunch for you! My friend and I, once we got our bowls and wraps made, took a seat in the dining area and began our little feast! I loved how the bowls turned out, it simply screamed "healthy", "colourful" and of course, delicious! My bowl consist of Garlic Shrimp, Edamame Beans, Tomato, Pickled Carrots, Cucumber, Glass Noodles, and Spring Leaves, topped with Spicy Peanut Sauce. This was such a delightful dish - I really enjoyed the peanut sauce mixed in with all the healthy veggies. In addition, the different textures of the bowl really added to the dining experience -from the crunchiness of the fried onions to the softness of the sweet potato, this bowl really packed a filling meal for myself. I would say that I wish that Imperfect Eats would be a bit more generous with the proteins, as I felt that there was an uneven ratio of proteins to everything else. As well, the beets that I had also added to my bowl was a bit too earth tasting to me, so unless you like that kind of taste I wouldn't recommend adding it to your bowl. However, it was a great dish to eat! My friend had similar garnishes as mine, adding Taro Chips into hers and minus the Edamame Beans. She also had a different protein, which was the Chipotle Chicken. Overall she seemed to have no complaints, and mentioned that she really enjoyed having the ambiance we did because it really added to the freshness of the bowl for her. Lastly, we were also given some wraps. I actually ended up packing the wraps to go, just because we ate so much in our bowls! However when I had the wraps later, it really still kept its freshness! I did enjoy the beef in my wrap - however I think that my favourite protein from Imperfect Eats has got to be the Garlic Shrimp. It was just so rich and really captured some great flavour for anyone looking for something to remember. Imperfect Eats has been a great addition to the food scene here in Toronto, and I would recommend anyone whose looking for something healthy yet filling to give Imperfect Eats a try!
