    Thai bowl
    Zoe B.

    I DoorDashed this bowl and loved it. A lot of sriracha, which is great for me. Everything was fresh.

    Honolulu Poke Bowl
    Alex A.

    Ah the weekend! Time to find a nice place to dine and see the sights of my new city - Raleigh! I've been reading about how popular the Morgan Street Food Hall is so my significant other and I decided to see the place. So after checking the different options I opted for this food kiosk. I asked if they can do half salmon and half tuna and refused me and with that I decided to dock a star on what could've been a nice 4 star review. This salmon poke dish was fresh, delicious and well seasoned. The portion was just right. I'm just disappointed they didn't consider my request. Will I buy food at this joint? Might be a while since I plan to come back and try the others first.

    Kona Poke Bowl with Salmon
    Kellie D.

    Tried this place at lunchtime today. I ordered the Kona poke bowl with salmon. This bowl includes seaweed salad, kimchi salad, sweet potato, spicy cucumber, crab salad, gochujang and white sauce. I ordered it over a base of 1/2 greens, 1/2 rice. Order was ready and literally two minutes. I had just found a table and sat down when my buzzer sounded. Rice and sweet potato were hot, all the other ingredients cold, and such a mix of flavors in the bowl! Sweet potato was an interesting touch. Generous portion -- plenty for me for lunch. I was not disappointed in my choice! Husband ordered the Seoul bowl which also looked delicious. I look forward to returning and trying another bowl.

    Kona Poke Bowl
    Mike M.

    Came in my 7,000 mile 24 city food tour. Can't ask for much more in a food hall stand. Great service. Appealing plated poke bowl. Food tasted fresh and quality. Ordered the Kona poke bowl with white rice, salmon, seaweed salad, kimchi slaw, sweet potato, spicy cucumber, crab salad, gochujang sauce, and white sauce. Fresh and paired nicely. Enjoyed being able to make multiple blends of bites the way the items were plated apart.

    I got super excited when The Bowls started coming to our company for lunch! It was always my go to at the food all but now it's a special treat in the office! The Seoul Bowl is a must try!

    California Chicken Katsu Sandwich
    Marissa M.

    I got the California Chicken Sandwich which comes with homemade chips. The flavor of the sandwich was great and the chicken was crispy. My only notes are I didn't like the whole sprig of cilantro and the chips needed some seasoning. Otherwise it was great!

    My Kona Poke bowl at lunch yesterday.  Zero sauce.

    Disappointed on my return to this restaurant. I had the Kona Poke bowl last July add it was fabulous. Fresh and spicy. Large pieces of tuna. I ordered the exact same bowl. The tuna pieces were much smaller. There was zero white sauce on the top. I asked where the sauce was and I was told it was inside. Nope. It was not. I took a photo of both bowls.

    This place would've gotten 5 stars if I had reviewed it the first few times I ate there years ago but unfortunately when I ate there the other day, it seemed like they changed their delicious purple forbidden rice for regular white rice. Honestly, the purple rice they used to do made the whole dish. It was so delicious paired with everything. The flavor and crispiness of their chicken and the rest of the ingredients are still good, it just doesn't pair as well with the white rice. Or at least since I have something to compare it to, it doesn't. I'm very sad and I hope they go back to the other one. I also don't like the spicy cucumbers that usually come with this bowl, I always ask to switch it out with warm zucchini because I felt like having the cold and hot together felt off.

    Thai rice bowl with black rice and chicken
    Katie T.

    Can you really go wrong at Morgan Street Food Hall? It was a very indecisive day for picking what I felt like eating, but The Bowl won out. I ordered the Thai rice bowl which had grilled Thai basil chicken, red pepper, pickled carrots & radish, eggplants, zucchini, cilantro, chopped peanuts, panang curry sauce, and Thai basil sauce. Delish! It had just the right amount of spicy zing and lots of flavor. I will say the black rice was a little different visually, but I was full by the time I finished. The oolong tea wasn't anything special, but the food hall is not providing cups of water (obviously because of the pandemic) so I had to pick something. The food was ready fairly quickly.

    The Bowls in Morgan Street Food Hall, Raleigh NC
    Bruce K.

    Excellent keto-compliant lunch today at the Morgan Street Food Hall! Simply switching from rice to salad greens and dropping the sweet potato, I had a flavorful, delicious and satisfying meal! And despite the various sauces and big pieces of lettuce, I avoided wearing any of it. I chose the "Kona" bowl and it was lovely. Nicely filled with spicy tuna (a little too spicy but that's just my taste) and crab salad and a bunch of other nicely textured add-ons. Yummy! Plenty of options here and they're fresh!

    Seoul Greens Bowl
    Alexandra H.

    Wonderful experience! I've had Bowls about 5x now and must admit that they food has been consistently great! It's so hard to choose which bowls to order. I usually get the Thai bowl with greens instead of rice (5 stars!!), but this time I ordered the Seoul bowl which was amazing as well!! Ordered takeout and it still tasted so fresh once I got back to my apartmentWill be back soon for more!!

    Seoul Bowl
    Taylor S.

    My favorite bite: The Seoul bowl is very good! It's Korean beef, kimchi slaw, citrus slaw, zucchini, scallion, pickled red onions, pickled radish + carrots, fried egg (ordered mine without) sesame seeds, sesame oil, white sauce, and gochujang sauce. What to know for next time: Ask for light pickled onions and radish. Ask for sauces on the side. Pro tip: Morgan Street Food Hall is normally really busy. Even if you are dining in, order your meal online. What gave me pause: So. Very. Crowded. It was very hard to find someone where sit.

    Seoul rice bowl
    Cindy C.

    The food at this place was delicious and filling, and I absolutely loved all of the flavors! I tried their bulgogi egg rolls and the Seoul rice bowl which had Korean BBQ beef, kimchi slaw, citrus kale, zucchini, scallions, pickled red onions, pickled radish & carrots, a fried egg, sesame seeds, sesame oil, white sauce, and gochujang suace (what a mouthful). Everything about the rice bowl was fantastic -- the purple rice is quite interesting but a good base nonetheless, the beef was very flavorful, and all of the veggies just added to the overall bowl itself. On the flip side, while I enjoyed the bulgogi egg rolls, I do wish they were still hot and crispy (but we did wait until we got home to try everything). Nonetheless, this is certainly a spot I would come back to in the food hall in the future!

We came in with some friends on a Monday to celebrate a birthday. My friend has a gluten and dairy allergy, which was actually no problem here. So if that is a dietary concern for you or a loved one - this is a great spot to bring them! We were all able to enjoy a majority of the food. My partner and I both enjoyed a mocktail version of the roselle freezy - it was amazing! Either as a mocktail or a cocktail, you should try this drink. For starters, we had the crispy chicken wings, spring rolls with veggies, and the lettuce wraps. We all enjoyed the chicken wings so much that we got a second order of them. I enjoyed the spring rolls much more than the lettuce wraps as they had more flavor to them. For dinner, we shared an order of the Manda Amphone's Curry and the chicken pad thai. I originally did not expect to be blown away by the pad thai - boy, was I wrong. This is hands down the best pad thai I have ever had. If you love pad thai, you need to try theirs. I also thoroughly enjoyed the curry. Both dishes were rich and flavorful and came with enough to share between 4 adults. Overall, not having been to Bida Manda in 10+ years, I was impressed and will definitely return.

TLDR: I was so disappointed! The vibe is cool, and the hostess was sweet as can be. But our waiter started off rough when we asked him what the sauce on the shrimp bao was and he looked at us blankly and said he really didn't know how to describe it. We eventually figured out that it should be analogous to bang bang sauce, so we ordered those, the brisket bao, & the potstickers to share, plus we each got a taco (shrimp for her and tuna for me). We also ordered the strawberry basil rum-based cocktail to share. The cocktail was ok to me and unpalatable to her - it didn't have even a hint of discernible basil flavor. It tasted like the strawberry daiquiris my parents made in the early 90s except poured over ice instead of frozen. It was fine, but not worth the price to me. Then it was on to the bao. They were both weirdly moist on one side, like they had been sitting on the plate too long. The filling was good, but eating the bun was like eating wet bread. We ate the filling and left the buns (disappointing for the price!). The shrimp is fried and the sauce was good. I was surprised to prefer the brisket - it is quite spicy, though! Next we tried the potstickers. They were decent but nothing outstanding. I am no potsticker aficionado but they seemed very similar to the fried dumplings at Bul Box... but more expensive and less tasty. Last were the tacos. My friend took one bite of hers and made a weird face before placing it back on the plate and pushing it away - she said it just was not good. I saved my tuna poke lettuce wrap taco for last because it sounded so good, and the waiter had pronounced it the best thing on the menu when I ordered it. It was the biggest disappointment of the night. It wasn't wrapped at all; it was just a piece of lettuce with toppings piled on it. The lettuce was too floppy and wilted to use it as a taco. There was too much of whatever was wet in the toppings - there was literally a wet puddle around it. There were so many green onions in it I couldn't even pick them all out (they are not in the menu description, and I hate them). And the tuna, while beautiful in appearance, was variable in quality. Some chunks were great; some chunks had a weird texture like the stuff you cut off of chicken when you're cleaning it. And some was so fishy I had to spit it out. I estimate I ate about half of it. So overall, some things were good, some things were not, and some were in between. I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could but I rounded up. At a lower price point I'd be more forgiving, perhaps. But I won't seek it out again.
