My coworker and I were trying to figure out a good place for dinner before our flight. The Vessel Kitchen menu looked good and we saw several flight attendants getting food to go, so we figured it had to be decent. We both loved the food! The employees who we ordered from and rang up our food were very nice. They answered questions and food is nicely presented. I went with a Custom Plate. For the protein I got the Braised Beef which was flavorful and tender. For sides I got the Roasted Brussels Sprouts (delicious) and the Macha Corn (amazing) . The Macha Corn has Cotija Cheese, Salsa, and some kind of finely chopped nuts, great combo. I also ordered the Horseradish Crema for $1 since I love Horseradish and it went perfect with the beef. Seating is comfortable and tables were cleaned off and ready to go. They had a lot of orders to go and they pack everything up well, ready to take on the plane. If you want a good meal and not just fast food, I highly recommend. Located at SLC Airport, in Terminal A. read more

When I fly through SLC Terminal A, Vessel Kitchen is my go-to. The primary reason is the abundance of healthy ingredients and their preparation (hot and cold). Secondly, the value for the price as well as the on-site dining experience: brightly lit, open plan yet slightly personable - unlike the IG-inspired decor. Thankful for the service team members too! * If you think brussel sprouts aren't popular, you haven't tried Vessel's! The first batch was already out during the early lunch I was taking. read more

Just like other reviews say, this is one of the best "airport food"! It's easy to go to (over priced) fast food places at airports but when you are on the road for a while, you start looking for real food that is more nutrient and fresh. Vessel Kitchen is a gem! I tried their Mountain bowl and enjoyed it a lot for breakfast. Loved the picked pinion as an accent. Sweet potato hash and braised beef were perfect! I highly recommend this spot. read more

I love the chicken and mashed potatoes but the last time last two times I was there their miso salad ( can't remember the exact name) was not as good as good as the first time I had it. Always looking forward to this place when I have a connecting flight to California. read more

Vessel Kitchen is hands down the best airport food I've ever had (lounges excluded, of course). I ordered the Mountain Bowl for brunch, which came with eggs, braised beef, sweet potato hash, pickled onions, Peruvian green sauce, and feta. The combination of flavors worked really well, and I loved that it felt both healthy and satisfying. The portion was generous enough that I was able to stretch it into two meals. This spot is especially great for health-conscious travelers or anyone with dietary restrictions, as allergens are clearly marked on the menu. Breakfast offerings were somewhat limited to a few bowls, toasts, and coffee, but everything looked fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Service in the airport location was minimal as it's an airport location and more of takeout style with about 5 tables available for dine in. I've also eaten at Vessel Kitchen in Salt Lake City and know they offer a wider variety of lunch and dinner options. I almost wish my flight had been later so I could have enjoyed more of the menu! read more

I love a spot that knows their flavors. I was surprised to find a place that had such delicious food at such affordable prices for an airport. The bowls are fresh and colorful and absolutely delicious. There are many options and proteins to choose from. They are quick because they build your bowl assembly style. I had the Utah Bowl ($14) - it had shredded chicken on top of this amazing sweet potato hash and cilantro sauce. It did not feel healthy because it was so large but of course I ate it all. Best airport food I'd ever had. read more

A small restaurant inside Terminal A in SLC offering bowls featuring grains, veggies, and proteins. They won't swap ingredients in the bowls (I wanted the poke with rice, not couscous and they couldn't do it). I ended up with avocado toast and a side of poke. It wasn't a hearty meal for my $20, but it was tasty enough. read more

Big bowl of food for $15. Staff pretty friendly but there was an overhanging feeling of disorganization. Had to wait for coffee to brew, which took more than 10 minutes. While I was waiting, they ran out of beef, but continued to take orders for it?, just requiring a lot of refunds and order changes. Early morning light reflects off the terminal floor and makes it almost impossible to sit at the counter which faces that way. Seating is very tight; not helped by singles taking all the four tops. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Fortunately I was early enough to not be bothered by the minor delays. read more

When you're traveling on a plan especially a long flight, a good meal is even more important. We were on a layover and noticed Vessel Kitchen and their menu looked great. You order at the counter and they load the bowls for you, just takes a few minutes. We got two bowls - the chicken + grains bowl and the uncle Rico with chicken and mashed potatoes. Both bowls were definitely tasty. Hot, fresh, and flavorful. Great combination of ingredients. The only reason I'm taking one star off is because I had 1-2 undesirable "crunch" in my quinoa bowl which was unappetizing. Hopefully they can be more careful going forward. read more

Managing to find good food in the airport?? Next to impossible but Vessel defies that! We had several hour layover in SLC and we were super thankful to find some good food! You can build your own bowl but I opted for one of the pre made options which was the Uncle Rico. This was delicious! I loved the mashed potatoes and the sauce was so good and the pork was tender! Is it pricey? Yeah but I mean I think overall for the price its not that bad especially for airport food and it was delicious! If you're looking for a meal while waiting in the airport, stop by Vessel!! read more

I'm so happy to have found this restaurant in the SLC airport! I looked it up and it got great reviews. I'm not a vegetarian but I love getting well made veggies and grains when I can . So much better than a burger or pretzel any day. It's got a grab vibe, open kitchen. Lots of food to combine. Service was good, standard. I put together the sweet potato hash along with the Israeli couscous with miso and sesame. It was soooo good I went back on my return flight. Great fresh food items. Great variety. Highly recommend. I guess there are actual sit down restaurants however I've not been to those . read more

Nasty. The workers were more worried more about getting my order than customer service. I had to figure out where the spoons and forks were. No help from the two workers behind the corner. The portions were not what was expecting. But honestly the food was nasty anyways. read more

I recently flew through Salt Lake City and had a 3-hour layover. I decided to treat myself to a nice lunch at Vessel to spend some time. I normally get their chicken grain bowl which is absolutely fantastic, but I saw they recently updated their menu and it wasn't available. In its place, I decided to try their Utah Bowl which came with Al Pastor chicken thighs, sweet potatoe hash, pepita lime vinaigrette, Israeli Pico, and micro cilantro. I also decided to add the spicy Korean broccoli for freshness. The bowl came generously filled with fresh sweet potatoes, a generous helping of chicken and a delicious vinaigrette that brought everything together. The pickled onions on top also added a pallet cleanser for this rich meal. As for the spicy broccoli, I was really hoping for some spice but to me it didn't have any heat. What it did add was great freshness and crunch which I appreciated. Vessel is always a winner at this airport. read more

Not good. The Med wasn't even mid. I know the falafel was fresh because I had to wait for it from the kitchen, however, it just tasted acceptable. The kale was fine. The hummus was good as well as the pita bread. The couscous was just bad. I took a bite and a half and threw away the rest. Of course, most of the platter was couscous. I wouldn't go back. read more

The customer service was trash. The cashier Elana was rude. I asked to order a side of bacon with my avocado toast and she told me they did not have bacon. So I left and went somewhere else and bought some bacon and when I returned, I noticed that the menu had changed. So when I got to the register and I asked her, I said so did you change to a lunch menu and she said yes. I told her that she could've easily told me that they were changing to lunch menu and that's why they did not have bacon so that I could review the lunch menu. She had a smirk on her face and as I was walking away her in the black girl on the line making the food we're looking at me and talking, so I guess they were talking about me. It was my first time visiting and my last. If she is unhappy with her job, then should get another one instead of being rude to people who have not done anything to her. read more

Fast & friendly service, clean restaurant, and good food. Such a nice change from garbage fast food.

Very good airport food. I stopped on a layover at Vessel kitchen. You order a premade bowl or construct your own bowl, then wait for your food at one of the tables. My Utah bowl was very nice. This is very good airport food. read more

Some of the best quick airport food anywhere. Doesn't give you a heavy feeling on the plane. Only ones ordering so I had fun talking to the staff. Food was prepared and ready just as soon as I ordered (quicker than I was able to swipe my card). Very tasty. Open to the terminal, you are not going to sit for very long. read more

Healthy and hearty! Located near gates A26+, it's a great place to stop, sit down at the many tables, and eat a meal. This place is apparently very popular, so I had to try it! I got the hash hash, which is braised beef, sweet potatoes, pickled onions, harissa sauce, smoked feta, and lemon ricotta creama, and then I added Brussels sprouts on top. Delicious, and I feel so healthy! They give a decent amount, so much that I could probably save half for lunch tomorrow. Ordering and getting the food was very fast, and the cashier was nice. read more

While at the SLC airport, I stopped here for a late lunch. The young lady at the counter who helped me (Natalie) was super friendly and helpful. She was quick with my order. She was way more pleasant than most airport places I have been to for food. In addition, the food tasted great and it was nice to have a vegetarian option available. The portion size was not too big and not too small either. read more

Hands down the best airport food I have ever had. Got the vegetarian Med Bowl. It comprises 5-6 different minisalads/couscous/hummus/etc. incredible flavors. The falafel were a little tiny bit tough, but tasty despite that. Amazing stuff, $13. Can't beat it. read more

This is one of the healthiest, freshest, and tastiest airport food eateries I've visited in a long time. For $14, I got the Al Pastor Chicken, brussel sprouts, Sweet Potato Hash...then I paid an extra $4 for Falafel. All of this was yummy! I just wish the food portions were larger...after 90mins(I had a 2.5 hour layover) I ran over to Shake Shack to grab a burger cause I was getting hungry again. I will admit I'm 6-2 200lbs with a big appetite, so for most average humans it's probably enough food. Friendly service, and clrean, nice modern seating area. read more

Wow, this isn't just great airport food, it's great food in general. Among the best I've had in the US, especially for a fast casual restaurant. It's also very adaptable to different diets (whole30, vegetarian, gluten free) and allergies. Also really appropriately priced for the amount and quality of food. I ordered the falafel bowl and the miso sesame couscous in particular was wonderful. Wish I had one of these back home. read more

This was a good layover airport restaurant for vegetarians. I wanted to eat something with fresh vegetables, and this hit the spot. I had a bowl with chickpeas and falafel balls and spinach. It had good spice flavors. I think the root vegetables in the salad were carrots prepared in an unusual way--that's what it was listed as on the menu, but they were less sweet and less crunchy, like parsnips or rutabaga. I kept looking at the menu confused but I ate it. The falafel balls were fresh and particularly tasty. Honestly I was tired and not sure of what I was eating, but it was vegetarian and both hearty and healthy. I appreciate the mostly compostable to-go packaging. I like supporting local places at the airport and was pleasantly surprised by this option. read more

The food was healthy AND good. Service was great. The outside tables could use cleaning, though, after customers leave. But, the quality of the food was really good. read more

This is something to celebrate! Delicious, healthy food in the Salt Lake Airport. Hooray! Newly opened on the A concourse, this is sure to be a crowd favorite. And if you're lucky enough to be there at breakfast time, 5-10am, you can enjoy a real treat. This is the only Vessel location I know of that serves breakfast, but it wouldn't surprise me if they start offering it elsewhere. The selection is top notch. The prices are reasonable for an airport, too. I appreciated the numerous vegetarian options on the menu. The Morning Bowl was delicious, with fresh ingredients and creative additions. The pastries all looked delicious. The yogurt parfait was tasty but I wouldn't get the berry compote again, it was too much and very sweet. The layout was a bit confusing on where to order. Service was slow. But, if you plan ahead and arrive early for your next flight you can enjoy a great start to your trip. read more

I've travelled over a million miles and hands down the best airport food I've experienced. About $20 per person with large portions. I had the chicken & grains, my wife had the beef and it was delicious. How rare to find good Mediterranean/American food quick but fresh and in an airport!! The service was good counter and it was clean and open. If only every airport had a Vessel Kitchen! Some may think this is not a real review but I promise it is. 12/15/25, 5:40pm MT. read more
