    Ordered a customized salad by myself. I LOVE the mashed sweet potato and honey chicken! It's fresh and healthy, highly recommended!!

    Build Your Own Bowl - regular size

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Imperfect Eats offers a great selection of healthy bowls, smoothies, and juices. The fresh food met expectations and provided a satisfying meal option.

    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 :)

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    I first discovered this place through RITUAL and I've kept coming back multiple times! For anyone that doesn't know, Imperfect Fresh Eats sources local imperfect looking produce and passes those savings on to the customer and reduces overall food waste in the process! 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! My personal favourite is: Asian Sweet Potato Noodles, Baby Spinach, Spring Mix, Chipotle Chicken, Alfafa Sprouts, Beets, Crispy Onions, Crispy Taro, Cucumber, Pickled Radish & Carrot, Red Onions, Red Peppers, Sweet Potato Mash, Ginger Carrot, Peanut Satay As soon as I picked up my RITUAL order I immediately notice how heavy and full my container was! Oh! and the service was so lovely! on multiple occasions, they've written my name with smiley faces & hearts ( think they've noticed I've been a repeat customer lol ) While it's mainly a takeout place, you can easily find dine in seating here too. The decor inside is also super cute! Overall, their food is tasty, nutritious, and you can feel good about eating their food in more ways then one! I definitely recommend checking this place out for lunch, if you're in the area!

    Tofu bowl

    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.

    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 ;)

    Harvest Clean Eats

    (4 reviews)

    I was venturing around Union Station for lunch and came across Harvest Clean eats!…read more First impression was that they had a lot of options on their menu that also accommodated various dietary restrictions - lots of vegan and vegetarian options were available. I was craving a warm bowl and their new Spicy Miso Salmon Bowl caught my eye. The price of the bowl was on the higher end (~$22 before tax/tip) but not surprised as we're in the downtown core. I will say .. the portions were very generous and all the ingredients were very fresh! I was pleasantly surprised and am satisfyingly full. They had a lot of different vegetable options mixed in and the rice was nice and warm, reflecting the freshness once again. There were a lot of other items on the menu that I was interested in so I would be keen to return, especially for their smoothies. The ladies at the cash were very quick and helpful when I had some questions about my order. I got my bowl pretty quickly (~11:30 am) but can imagine this place gets busy. Luckily they do let you order in advance so may take advantage of that next time.

    Food 4/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 4/5 Harvest Clean Eats is located within the Union Station food court. This is one of the few healthy options at union station. I got the steak salad with some customization (no corn). Just a note for those who have allergies, the steak already has a sauce on it. I was okay with the sauce so I didn't ask for any modification there. I came before the lunch rush but this place was already relatively busy so I had to wait about 10-15 minutes for my food. Given everything downtown is pricey, I'd say Harvest Clean Eats is in line with downtown prices. It costs me under $20 for the salad. I think the quality of the food was good and I was satisfied but not bursting. Portions for the salad were reasonable for the price as well. The person taking the orders at cash was friendly & knew what they were doing. Everything went smoothly. Ambiance is food court ambiance. LOL. Harvest Clean Eats has a few small tables in their area but isn't big enough for a large crowd. So I preferred to order & bring my food back to the office. I would definitely order here again when I want something healthy.
