Can I say #Delicious that creamy sesame sauce is to die for I can just pour it over everything. Service is pretty straightforward since it is just a ghost kitchen and there's no ambience other than a pick up window again it's just a ghost kitchen. Everything is done online. The only thing I don't appreciate is, I feel that the portions are kind of small or what you get when you purchase individually, however when I did a catering order for an event at my job there was a lot more food. read more

The food at this place is literally delicious!! The impossible bulgogi bowl is to die for I continually order through the Picnic app at work when I don't bring my lunch. Unfortunately, my only gripe is the food is always delivered cold. The first time I was 30 minutes late to picking it up and I was like okay it a on me. I tried again and picked up the food with in 2 minutes of receiving my notification and it was still cold. The food is so good that I ate it anyway but darn I wish it would come hot. read more

We ordered delivery through Doordash and did a whole tasting tour of the menu. Will definitely order again! What we would get again next time: Side order of broccoli was fun to have, tastes great, garlicky Kale slaw is pleasant, mildly flavored, no mayo Enjoyed the chicken broccoli bowl, the chicken that is grilled is tender dark meat We got a side of BBQ chicken and it was also delicious and not spicy What we might not get again next time: Fries seemed entirely unsalted and too spicy for us Both chicken nuggets and fried chicken are dry breast Tofu had a pleasant texture but no flavor Crispy breaded battered cauliflower was fun but not very seasoned Steak tastes great but was not very tender Impossible beef was nice but a little bland Sweet potato noodles were not to my taste, texture a little strange, next time will stick with riced cauliflower Glad to find a place that fills at least some of the hole left in our hearts when Mad Seoul went dark! read more

With a great food program at the office via "fooda" we are able to experience a great variety of local businesses. Today I chose moonbowls and their chicken bowl. At first glance, the bowl is colorful and portioned well. At second glance, I'm disappointed to have canned corn during the summer and to not have any char on the broccoli. The chicken was tasty and tender which is a must for me, and the light sauce was good. It was more like a vinegrette than a BBQ sauce. Rice was cooked perfectly and topped with some green onions. Oh, and the jammy egg! I love me a jammy egg mixed with the rice and chicken! It's a perfect bite. Overall, I would order this again and will continue to support local businesses. Give them a try! read more

moonbowls - hot chicken bowl - Korean Near Me - Oakland, California

I ordered from Moonbowls through UberEats - slow time of day so I thought I'd get my food quickly - my driver informed me that my order was delayed and he would wait - 30 MINUTES to prepare two identical bowls - what's the matter with you guys? Phone support was a joke as it was impossible to talk to a human - I tried and so did the driver - you guys need to get it together and stop disrespecting your customers - last time I'll EVER order from you and I'll be show to tell others how unprofessional and disorganized you are. PS don't bother with your copy and paste response - if you actually cared about your customers you'd have a way for to contact you by phone when they have a problem - the number you give out does not let you speak to a human so forget it. read more

Very very meh meh. 3 stars for potential. I got the chicken and ribeye bowl with fried rice and mixed veggies. Rice was soggy and very lacking in both flavor and quantity. The potential is there, but the execution seriously failed. After waiting over an hour and a half for my order it was super disappointing. The veggies were ok. The ribeye was ok, chicken was ok. Seriously just OK! Wouldn't try again. Really this deserves 2.5 stars read more

Ordered on DoorDash, both bowls were so delicious. They had the perfect amount of food. We love that it's not too heavy, so you actually feel good after eating. Definitely ordering again. read more

This is my go-to vegan take out. The ingredients are fresh, portion sizes are big, and the impossible beef is divine. The service is decent. You may have to wait when you go in. However, the food is worth the wait. read more

moonbowls - Fried chicken bowl - Korean Near Me - Oakland, California

I ordered two Korean chicken bowls here since there was a BOGO offer on Uber Eats but I was so disappointed with the quality of the food. Luckily we got the by one get one free offer because I wouldn't pay this much for such a tiny bowl. The pictures in some reviews look like there was a lot given, so I wondered if we were purposely given less because this was an uber eats order that had a bogo offer. I literally ate both bowls in one sitting. The food looked pretty well presented when we got it, but once we pushed aside the toppings, there was barely any rice there. The caramelized onions were extremely mushy and gross, so we threw them out. The citrus marinated kale was literally just regular kale and had no flavor. The chicken was very crunchy on the outside and the coating had some flavor, but was very dry on the inside without much flavor. read more

Moonbowls is Korean cuisine in delicious food bowls! Moonbowls has opened a ghost kitchen in the Longfellow Food Pickup in North Oakland. It's menu offers appetizers, bowls, desserts and drinks. On a Tuesday evening, I ordered a Chicken and Egg Bowl, with sesame tofu, green onions and seaweed added. My base of choice was brown rice. Okay, usually when I order a food bowl, the "base" is over 50% of the bowl. So in this case, I was expecting a big bowl of brown rice with the toppings covering it. Not so at Moonbowls! The food bowl was mainly the mixture of food I asked for, and the brown rice was hard to find. I had to stir it up to find the rice. The Chicken and Eggs Bowl is just that.....diced moist chicken and a fried egg on top. All kinds of good stuff like...."charred peppers, cucumber slaw, caramelized onions, a fried egg, fresh arugula, basil, green onions, sesame seeds, our sweet Korean BBQ sauce, and a side of gochujang sauce." However, it's not a huge bowl of food, but it's good healthy food. Especially if you're watching your carbs. Their website says "they're taking a fresh approach to Korean cuisine thru chef driven food bowls using high quality ingredients and bold flavors." Yes, Moonbowls does all that. Would I order again? Yes, if I'm in the area. Located at the Longfellow Food Pickup, which is a Cloud Kitchens facility. I used the Doordash app for a food pickup. Food was ready in 15 mins. Simply walk in the lobby, tell them your name and the restaurant, and they hand you your order. You save $$$ by picking up your order, and you know that food will be hot & fresh when you get it. Enjoy, and Support Local Business! read more

We ordered for delivery from here today for our family and got four different bowls: crispy chicken, grilled chicken, steak, and cauliflower. They were all very fresh and flavorful. Everyone enjoyed the bowls even the kids. We will definitely order again read more

Dining in the mind of franz Kafka. Ordered a pickup order from moon bowls so I could eat in between clients. The order was supposed to be ready when I got there. I was greeted but two broken iPads and one functioning one. The functioning one informed me my order was delayed. After waiting 20 minutes (there is no human to help me) I decided to leave. Ubereats charged me the full price of my meal to cancel. I canceled anyway thinking of course they would waive that fee. I never was able to reach the store and I cancelled in good faith to save them time and money. Nope that cancel button is a binding contract for them to steal from you. Now I'm chatting with their very understanding ai charbot to has told me for two days in a row they will look into it. Stay far far away unless you want to be poor frustrated and hungry. read more

I try for a long time now to loose weight but still want to enjoy my food! I found moonbowls some time ago which even has a list for how many calories their ingedients have!! I am finally loosing a lot of weight and still have super tasty food, thanks to moonbowls!! If they would advertise this aspect more i am sure they would get overrun by people even more! Incredible! Oh and i highly rec the Cauliflower rice as an alternative to rice for dieting reasons! I will for sure continuing eating there even after my diet is finished. read more

Food is fantastic -- 5 stars for everything moonbowls could control: good ammount of food not too much sauce healthy while tasting great, thoughtful presentation and good price for what you get. Adeline Food Hall-- 3 stars : cool concept, makes it possible to have places like Moonbowls nearby, but such poor follow through , chaos in there read more

Wait time of 4-16 minutes (ordered at the Adeline hub) is approaching an hour, already paid so no recourse -- SAVE YOURSELF, don't go!!! update: food finally arrived: -bland -cauliflower raw (w uncooked coating) -chili-dusted pineapple missing -at least there was some avocado read more

TL;DR - good portion, poor quality food. See pic for burnt corn. Ordered from here since I was looking for something light & healthy, and saw the BOGO on Uber eats. Saw the bad reviews on both Yelp and Google... but decided to give it a try since I liked the idea of this place being a healthier version of Chipotle. I ordered: sweet chicken kimchi, and Korean hot chicken. Portions were large! As you can see from the photo. The bowls were fill to the lid. The sauce on the sweet chicken kimchi was not to my liking. Too sweet and watery. the chicken was very dry. The rest of the bowl tasted fine tho. Now the really sad part.... The corn in the Korean hit chicken bowl. The corn was so burnt it was BLACK. Practically pieces of cancer. On a bed of kale, I didn't notice at first and took a bite. Had to rush to the sink and spent the next 10 minutes rinsing out the charcoal taste in my mouth. I cannot believe someone would let food burn to this state, much less scooped it up and put in a bowl. It effectively ruined the entire dish and made it inedible. Even after throwing out a good portion where the corn was, the burnt charcoal taste was still in the rest of the food. Really really poor quality control. I hate wasting food, but I had to toss the entire bowl. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're just looking to take advantage of the Ubereats offer. read more

Ordered the 2 types of potstickers and 2 bowls. The potstickers were not good, the skins were too thick and oily and the filling was pasty and not much flavor. We got the vegan bulgogi bowl and the vegan cauliflower bowl, both were okay. The volume wasn't there, I felt like they could have gave more for the price overall not bad but probably wouldn't go back again. read more

Got two bowls and fries to share. The food was super good. It was yummy and also was pretty healthy. I will be back again!

I ordered the buy 1 get 1 sweet kimchi chicken through Uber eats and I quite enjoyed these bowls. It felt like eating Chipotle but with Korean taste/fusion to it. Each bowl came with brown rice, seasoned chicken, kimchi, green onion, kale, shallots, corn, onions and peppers. Once everything was mixed well, this bowl tasted sweet with hint of spiciness to it, was so saucy. The sauce kinda tasted like teriyaki/gochujang flavor. It was a great deal and a nice lunch for me. read more

Excellent healthy seasoned food. Their customer service is outstanding. I've never been to the actual physical breaking mortar but have had home deliveries and everything was awesome. Plus they give you discounts like buy one get one free bowl. read more

I ordered through Doordash while staying at an Emeryville hotel. Food arrived promptly and hot. I ordered orange cauliflower and roasted broccoli with ginger-garlic sauce. The cauliflower was good, a solid meal with a base of brown rice. The kim chee topping was especially tasty. But the real star in my order was the broccoli - one of the best mouthfuls ever. So, so good! For vegans and vegetarians this place is find! read more

had ANAPHYLAXIS after eating their sesame tofu bowl with sesame sauce. was able to customize the order and had a false sense of safety since none of my allergens were listed under the ingredients from what i chose. dont know if specifying my allergies would've even helped the situation, being as though there is no contact with staff. the chefs arent even visible, no one in the back responds to customers ordering in and the people delivering food were ignored as well, and you pick the food up from a locker? their website claims "possible cross-contamination" with gluten and shellfish, but unfortunately for me i am allergic to nuts and most fish. wish i could identify what allergen triggered the reaction so i could medical tell staff at the emergency room. $30 meal so not worth this wretched experience. the flavors were tasty at least, so if i'm planning my last meal i know where to go! if you're immune system is compromised, i would stay away at all costs. read more

Gentrified korean food. Not good. I got the fried chicken rice bowl thing. Its just bleh. Overpriced for a few pieces of chicken over rice. read more

I'm a big fan of moonbowls! -Excellent taste! I had the tofu bowl and really enjoyed the various toppings (you get upto 5). My favorites: fresno chiles, roasted corn, citrus kale. -Fast delivery, everything was very fresh -Vegans, vegetarians and gluten free people can easily order. Love that the menu is so nicely labeled. read more

moonbowls - Tofu bowl (left) and sweet potato potstickers (right) - Korean Near Me - Oakland, California

This place used to be really quality - great fresh food, good portions for the price. They changed the menu completely and it has gone completely downhill. Prices went up and portions went down. The last time I ordered from here the meal was inedible - I paid extra for sweet potato noodles as my base and it was like biting into pure salt. I ended up throwing away the food and having to cook dinner. Not cute! This place is a weird pop up situation that specifically only sells delivery and to go, it's like a take out only with a big shared kitchen used by multiple restaurants. That's fine! But just know there's nowhere to sit here. To the owners - bring back your old menu! Especially the chicken and egg bowl! You've lost some pretty consistent customers with the new menu and lower quality. read more

Spontaneous order due to a door dash credit. So yummy and I still keep thinking about it/next time I go. I think it's located in a food hall so it strictly take out read more

Ordered bowls through Doordash for lunch. It wasn't anything spectacular, and the portion size was on the smaller side, but it tasted just fine to me! Overall, a solid lunch. I wouldn't go out of my way to try it again, but I'm glad I tried it read more

We ordered a pickup order for 4 people which was delayed beyond the pickup time so we had to wait around 15 minutes. I ordered the crispy cauliflower bowl with noodles, which came with a ranch dressing style sauce. The cauliflower coating was greasy and not crisp at all (it was coming off of the cauliflower) which was undercooked. The remainder was under-seasoned to the point of it being unenjoyable (which the ranch dressing wouldn't pair with). My son got the fried chicken bowl which he liked. The two other bowls had cauliflower and they were in the same state and were left unfinished. I will not be coming back, which is a shame as everyone but me had tried them before and they found the meal enjoyable previously. So this is really a hit or miss experience. read more

SERVICE: Timely, delivery FOOD: Absolutely amazing! Everyone was pleased with their bowl and the sides. I cannot say enough about the citrus marinated kale or the cauliflower wings. WOW. And I don't usually like kale! Everything had so much flavor. It was like nothing I've had before, a superb fusion of Korean and healthy, fresh ingredients. OVERALL: My new favorite place. I am thrilled to have found something super healthy and super flavorful. read more

As a fellow celiac, this place is excellent. The food is fresh. Chicken is crispy and juicy without being greasy. We love the Korean hot chicken and the French fries. The sauces and salad that come with it are always crisp and flavorful. 10/10 in my book. We will continue to order from here! read more

Is this how every moonbowls location is? Small portions, flavorless food, and nothing Korean? I wouldn't recommend this place to an enemy read more

The Crispy Cauliflower Bowl is everything!!!! I crave it fortnightly lol The sesame sauce is so delish, the fried cauliflower is some of the best breaded gluten free I've had, and additional veggies are always cooked to perfection - not too crunchy not too mushy. I recommend paying the extra $2 for the yummy sweet potato noodles. The service and timing of the order has always been on point and as expected as well. Love love love it! read more

The portions are honestly not that great for what you pay for them and it looked like they gave me the oldest, most bottom of the barrel chicken and sweet potatoes they had. This was also consistent with the rice, which got stuck in my teeth because they gave me the oldest rice which appears to have crusted the bottom of whatever pot they made it in. I will be spending my money elsewhere in the future. read more

Food comes in a good size, not too much of everything. Beef tastes pretty good. However felt very thirsty afterwards, they probably put in quite a bit of MSG. Does not come with any sauce and many add ons cost extra. read more

Ordered through Uber eats for pickup. First impression was that food was nicely packaged. Unfortunately the purple noodle salad was missing the mandarin oranges and peanuts. The Cesar salad guachong dressing was in the purple noodle container and the sesame dressing was in the Cesar container so we mistakenly put the wrong dressing on the wrong salads pretty much ruining the flavors. Missing ingredients, wrong packaging, small portion size. Now I'm still hungry and sad. Too bad because I could see how this could be good without all the mistakes. read more
