We went in a group of around 7 adults and ordered a variety of food. Didn't get a chance to take all pictures. We have been to Annapoorna many times and never went in here. Didn't know it was fusion Indian. Finally went in after seeing a insta reel. We liked the farmers noodle with paneer chili, khao suey, Malaysian curry puffs, and bao. Didn't like the Manchurian and Malaysian sizzler as such. Didn't like kimchi fried rice as well. May be because we are not used to kimchi favour. Drinks were pretty good. We got mango one and dreamy coconut milk read more

After weeks of trying to get eat here ( they are closed on Sunday evenings which used to be the only time we could normally find to be there.) we finally made it on a weekday evening. Ambience is average to slightly modern but well lit decor. Being a weekday night, I think they weren't expecting too many people but at the time we went they had a 12 person party just seated. This made overall service extremely slow. I understand stuff happens but it would have been nice if we had been told upon being seated that service would be a bit slow due to being understaffed. Beyond just slow service the tables were sticky (my wife used the hand sanitizer on the table and a paper tissue to clean the table) and we had to ask for water twice. All that said, the owner apologised profusely when I went to the counter to pay, so there was some redemption. And now the food: We couldn't order everything we were hoping to try given the long wait time, but here's my rating for what we did order: Malaysian Noodle Soup (3/5): when it arrived it was barely lukewarm, so it loses a star. I was thinking soup will be served piping hot. The taste however pretty good. There's a kick to the broth but a good balanced broth on the whole with hint of coconut and light noodles (I don't like a soup where all you can see is noodle), which worked well for me. The only other thing was whosoever was adding the lettuce did a terribly lazy job - massive piece of lettuce sitting at the bottom. Banh Mi sandwich (3/5) - I'm a sucker for Banh Mi. For those who follow me, you will have heard me mention Bi Cycle Banh Mi more than once and that is the standard by which I judge all Banh Mis. While this Banh Mi didn't get close to Bicycle's, it wasn't bad on the whole. My only feedback would be add fewer jalapeños as they completely overpowered the subtle tastes of the sauces. Pad Thai (3/5): pad Thai looked as it was supposed to but it was missing one of the veggies as described in the menu. Taste was a bit bland but a dash of lemon fixed it. Khow Suey (3.5/5) - my wife gives this a score of 3.5, which says a lot. Good amount of veggies but wished the broth was a bit thicker. But she liked the spice levels and felt it hit her palette just right. Overall, I'd like to come back when it's a little less crowded so we can truly get a taste of the variety thats offered. Let's see what the future holds... read more

A unique concept that brings together a variety of mainly Southeast Asian dishes in a vegetarian fusion style. While sizzlers are probably the USP of this place, the menu offers many other exciting options as well. It's a must-try for vegetarians and vegans, and they even offer Jain-friendly choices. The management and staff are warm, welcoming, and polite. They were kind enough to accommodate us for dine-in just before closing time. The ambience is cozy, pleasant, and well maintained. The pricing is reasonable, and the portions are good. Highly recommend this place for sizzlers, Asian, and Indo-Chinese cuisine--especially if you are vegetarian or vegan. The Khow Suey was awesome. read more

Not a good sign when the restaurant is empty, but I decided to try anyway. Ambiance is decent, typical dine in fast food, clean and bright. However the signs on the walls and counters are a bit confusing. Same with the formal menu. I found it very hard to figure out what I should try because it's a bunch of vegan fusion dishes, and there was no easy guide for new customers to choose favorites or best dishes. The online menu is much much better. The theme and menu need focus. I tried the Manchurian Sizzler to go, Hot plate with Manchurian rice, garlic noodles, fries, manchurian balls, vegetables (broccoli/cauliflower, carrot, baby corn and celery), cabbage and topped with Manchurian sauce. I waited 25 mins for my order to come out and I was the only one in there. There was no communication as to the expected wait time or if there was a problem with the order. Food was hot, spice was mild, sauce was average. However, I don't think it's worth the price. The noodles are premade from a packet (no garlic flavor at all), rice was not high quality and lacked flavor, veggies were cut too thin and not enough servings (why cut baby corn into thin slices?), no Manchurian Balls (it was a flat thinly sliced veggie patty that was wayyyyy toooo salty and burnt), and curly fries were not garlic fries (also prefozen from a bag). Entire dish was very very disappointing. I ended up with a lot of gas and stomach discomfort an hour after my meal. The flavors and freshness are not there. I will not return and cannot recommend this place. Sorry. read more

Good: -Mao bao (less spicy): good, fresh, nice flavors -Shaken tofu (medium spicy) with garlic noodles: this is the meatiest tofu I've ever eaten--somehow they made it taste fatty like chicken or beef, quite remarkable. The sauce was sweet, I was expecting savory. -Thai iced tea no toppings 25% sweet: the expected flavor, and a large serving Not good: -Pad Thai (no spicy) added tofu: bland, boring, Americanized -Basil fried rice (less spicy): very garlicky, less vegetable content than the description makes it sound --Tofu bahn mi: the tofu wasn't flavorful and the bread didn't have a crunchy crust, so it was too Americanized tasting. Unfortunately I had stomach pain and nausea after eating this. I hadn't had any other new food within the previous few days, so it seemed like a mild case of food poisoning Chow mein non-spicy added tofu: had one bite and it seemed ok, though not quite the classic chow mein flavor. We threw it out because I had an unhappy tummy after the bahn mi and we didn't want to risk anything further from the same order with this restaurant. read more

The term "American-Indo-Asian" can describe the menu here. We had Mao Baos and Manchurian Sizzler, and loved both. That Mumbai Sandwich style chutney in Bao with pickled vegetables hits a perfect taste spot... I am definitely coming back to have some more Bao here. Manchurian Sizzler had both rice and noodles as well as fried and veggies. All tasted great! Service was quick and friendly. We were here for weekday lunch it wasn't crowded. Nice simple ambiance. Menu is really good with variety of options available. Must try place for vegetarians and vegans in the bay area. read more

Ordered mao bun, green soup & manchurian sizzler. Mao bun had amazing flavors. Mix of fresh & crispy texture in the bun. The green soup(have had multiple times here) is the best dish here. Tons of vegetables, noodles, flavors! The quantity is very good as well. Manchurian sizzler was a disappointment. It was super dry, lacked flavors. The sauce which they gave on side was not at all manchurian sauce but seemed like tomato sauce. Service - We always do take out from here but this was the first time we came in. Service was slow(considering it was very busy being friday) Ambiance - Decent, spacious +Point 1. Great vegan options 2. Innovative use of tofu in dishes. read more

Went here for the first time taking a break from Annapoorna next door which was super crowded. This is owned by the same owners. Food was really good and tasted authentic. We ordered the Thai sizzler and pad Thai. Large food portions and we were stuffed at the end. Both can be split by two adults unless really hungry. In the Thai sizzler, the cauliflower bites and pineapple rice were especially good as was the noodles. Highly recommend this place if you like Asian food but are vegetarian. read more

Overall, this is a nice place to visit, especially if you need vegan or vegetarian options. However, the service was quite slow and it took a while for our food to come out. We ordered a couple things, our favorites were the pad thai and the spring rolls. But again, nothing crazy. While this is a good place, I wouldn't recommend it for Asian food or Indian food as neither were exemplary here. The restaurant was very cozy and well decorated! Overall this place was alright and our only issues were with the service and the blandness of the food. Not sure I would recommend! read more

I didn't expect flies buzzing around throughout the meal. The exterior and deco of the restaurant is nice, dish presentation is also nice, however flies are annoying. I got the tofu vermicelli, it was ok, instead of fish sauce they used soy sauce. Understandable because it's vegan. My friend got the Thai basil fried rice and that was the best among the group. Other things on the table were so-so. Nothing bad but no surprise as well. For the food it's 3-stars but flies are annoying. read more

We were here for dinner on a weekend. We got the table quickly. We tried the following items Crispy Cauliflower: 5/5. This lived up to its name and was really crispy. Pad Thai with extra tofu : 5/5. My husband loved this so much the other day that he reordered the same dish. The tofu that comes with it was flavored very well. Vegan Pho : 5/5. If you enjoy pho, this is definitely worth the try. I enjoyed the flavor of the broth. There was good amount of veggies and tofu that came along with it. This is a very wholesome dish. This place offers such great value for money. And the service is very really friendly. I'll be back to try more items from the menu. read more

Food was really bad! I am very tolerant and always give the benefit of the doubt that well today this item is not well made but other items will be good. But each item was bad - as in they had no idea how to make it or even how it looks or tastes. Pineapple fried rice looked like Mexican rice with 4 pieces of pineapple. The spring rolls were so loosely wrapped that everything fell out and not possible to eat without a mess. We had to return the Pad Thai - raw and bland. The Manchurian sizzler had some issues as well - it was very salty and Manchurian seemed stale. It seems the chef is just winging it. I never let food go waste but this time I had to cos it was inedible . The menu and pictures look great but not the food in reality. E.g the pad Thai didn't have the sprouts as shown in the picture and the Manchurian sizzler didn't have the spring rolls included as shown in the picture. There was so much commotion and their music system was jarring. read more

Ordered the Manchurian sizzler and honestly, it was the worst sizzler I've ever had. The rice smelled old, the veggies tasted like they were just frozen and reheated, and the noodles were half-cooked and sticky. The fries were the only okay part. The Manchurian balls were extremely dry. Definitely not worth it--would not recommend this place at all. read more

We went to Asian Bowl as it had vegetarian and Jain options. We went around 7 pm and there was not much rush at the weekend. Around 8 pm restaurant was full and 1-2 families were in waiting line. Service was good and quick, and servers were respectful and pleasant. Restaurant and tables were clean. Although Restaurant can do better in napkins and sauces at table (had dirty hand sanitizer). We ordered Jain Sizzler, Roti Parata, Manchurian Sizzler, and Thai Sizzler. All the food arrived on time. Roti Prata was Malaysian readymade Paratha that you easily get in indian stores, so I wouldn't recommend it, although the chutney with it was good in taste. All 3 Sizzler were presented well but bland in taste, perhaps can't compare them with india standards. Manchurian balls were not prepared fresh. You can feel crispyness on the balls but rawness inside. Garlic chutney on the table was oily and something weird in taste. Overall, the food was very oily and bland in taste, so I wouldn't probably go again because the price is also too high (may be because it is in a commercial setting). read more

I didn't know this place was a vegetarian restaurant but we decided to try it anyways. We ordered the Mao Bao., tofu green curry, lafsa soup, and the Manchurian sizzler platter. All the food came right away except for the Manchurian sizzler plate. The food was ok but the sizzler plate which came with noddles rice and veggie stick fritter was really salty. Could not eat it at all. We were going to say something and complain but decided not too because I don't think we will be trying it again. read more

I ordered the Green Hue (Bun Bo Hue Chạy). I was a bit suspicious that the workers referred to it as "the green soup) and on the label also was put as "green spicy soup). It was weird to me because I expected them to refer and label the food as it was on the menu. Anywho, I tried the order and it was so disappointing. The consistency of the noodles was over cooked and mushy. It was also chopped up which I was confused on why they would cut the noodles. I had to keep pulling the noodle apart because it was so soft and mushy that it got clumped up all together. The broth itself was bland and had no flavor. For this to be an "asian vegetarian restaurant," I would expect the food on the menu to be up to par at the very least, rather than leaving it flavorless. The broth was seriously just water. I had to add a whole bunch of my own seasoning and condiments to give it ANY flavor. It felt so inedible as I had to eat it like I'm feeding a baby due to the noodles being randomly cut up, and basically eating over cooked noodles in warm water as soup. Completely disappointed and would not recommend. read more

We ordered kimchi fried rice and Panang curry. Both of the dishes were way less than expected. Consistency of the curry is very poor. It was more like water with some powder in it. Kimchi fried rice is just like pickle rice. read more

Visited this place for the first time and was amazed how good the food quality is. It is freshly prepared and you can feel it in the first bite!! This place is a unique gem hidden in Milpitas that offers all vegetarian Asian food options as well as great menu for unique drinks including boba. We order the fresh spring rolls with tofu and I must say pair it with their house-made spicy chilli oil and peanut sauce it is so yum!! Order Manchurian Sizzlers and the chef was very kind to add grilled tofu on our request. It is one of the best Asian Veggie Sizzlers I have had!! It is so good!! Sizzlers are accompanied by the sauce which adds more flavors. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very welcoming and clean and the owner makes sure you enjoy the food and also provides suggestions when asked. A must visit for anyone looking for mouthwatering healthy Asian food choices along with options for people who prefer no garlic n no onion in their food choices. read more

Asian Bowl - Manchurian sizzler with tofu added on request. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Milpitas, California

New vegan place located in the same business plaza as crust sourdough. We came for a late lunch on Saturday which was convenient that they open all day. We ordered the pad Thai, shaking tofu and bun chay hue. Unfortunately the pad thai was very salty so we didn't enjoy that. The shaking tofu was the best thing. If you're garlic and onion sensitive then make sure to clarify when you order because the menu didn't specifically say there were onions in the noodle soup. It seems they have the same protein in all the dishes. Service was ok, they only had one person work in the front since it's a small restaurant. There are a lot of outdoor tables but you would have to order take out to eat out there. Parking is plenty here. read more

Food is bad. How can a chef cook dishes from different countries? You will like it if you don't know how the original taste is. Service is mediocre. Slow service. Not many tables. Tables are not clean well. Surface is sticky. I am surprised people are giving 5 stars. Probably they don't know what they are eating or they may be paid reviews. read more

I am in love with this light and delicious curry and blue rice. The tofu's texture and taste is so unique and I loved it and I'm not usually a tofu person. You have to take one day out of the week and try something new. This place is a perfect start to healthy eating and mindful eating. read more

Great new vegan joint. Our first experience here, the menu is amazing and we had a hard time narrowing down on what to order. Ended up over ordering like usual lol. The sizzler was really big serving size, and provided a nice variety of things to try. The only thing we didn't care for was the manchurian sauce which was a little too sweet for my taste. The fries were so good we ordered another separate plate! Would love to try other kinds of fries next time. The Mao Bao was a cute little thing and served in individual plates for a nice eating experience. Finally, we ordered the kimchi fried rice with tofu. Not pictured here, but this dish was finger-licking good. The sourness of kimchi while not being too spicy and the freshness from the cucumber really brings it all together beautifully. Would definitely visit soon. read more

We visited this place last Friday. We ordered Manchurian Sizzler, Malaysian Roti Prata,Passion Fruit Lemonade and Hazelnut Bliss. This place has good ambience and was not too crowded. The Malaysian Roti Prata was fresh,flaky and sauce was flavourful. Passion Fruit Lemonade was very refreshing and had real passion fruit pulp in it. The Hazelnut Bliss(Vietnamese Coffee) had a nice taste and we loved the flavor of the coffee. The Manchurian sizzler plate had Spring Rolls instead of fries(because they were out of fries). The spring rolls were crispy and tasty. The Veg Manchurian balls were crispy and had good taste. Fried rice and Noodles were a little bland but when combined with the sauce given both tasted very delicious. Everything was very tasty overall. But I think for 18$ the quantity was a little less(probably because of inflation,can't blame them). The fact that this place is fully vegetarian and all the dishes we ordered were flavourful,would make us go back to this place again to try out some more dishes. Best Indo Chinese food in Bay area. read more

New vegan Asian restaurant in town! They have a vegan menu spanning indo Chinese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai etc. We decided to order the ocean blue fried rice as the color looked enticing, the waiter suggested crispy cauliflower and we also decided to get the chilli garlic fried noodles. Unlike the other vegan restaurants they don't have a lot of fake meat dishes. They also didn't try to mask the veggies, the ocean blue fried rice was almost 50% veggies and was delicious. The best dish was the chili garlic noodles, it was delightfully garlicky and spicy though on the greasier side. The crispy cauliflower was not remarkable though, just Uber crispy on the outside, soft inside with subtle flavor and banking on a sauce to elevate it further while being very greasy. Overall a very decent place for vegans and vegetarians. Ambiance is clean and fresh with plenty of outdoor seating as well. read more

This place serves drinks but they don't know how to make a basic boba drink . Service is extremely slow even when there is no one in the restaurant. Their Manchurian sizzler plate looks appetizing but so bland and feels like a lame try . I would like them to do better . read more

Our second visit here. Annapoorna is a boon here. They serve even if it's an outdoor seating. The menu is eloborate and is a heaven for vegans and vegetarians. We ordered noodles. There were loads of veggies and the sauce was tasty. It was little salty, but could've been better. I really like the way they serve and take care of their customers. And the location as well. It's a very casual ambience with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Service used to be good, but things have changed apparently. Be prepared for some slow service! There is only one person in charge and they seem to be prioritizing phone orders. Tables outside are splattered with food, no one came out to clean. Took 30 minutes to get out the food. As a finishing touch, they gave us an incorrect item we had ordered to take home with us. Date of service: May 31, 2025 8:30 pm. read more

We were going to go to Annapoorna but saw a new vegetarian and vegan place had opened right next door! And the sign was advertising for Vegetarian Bao!! We decided to try it out and were not disappointed! We have stumbled upon a new favourite! The service was amazing! We ordered the Manchurian Sizzler. Mao Bao. I have never been able to have vegetarian Bao for some reason and this was sooo delicious! The bun was soft and the filling inside was perfect with some crispy fried tufo and lots of grated veggies! The sauces were very on point. The sizzler was rice, noodles, manchurian balls lots of veggies and spring rolls (were out of fries). They provided extra sauce in the side if we wanted. It was very well made, not oily (which is usually the case) and the veggies great! Will visit again to try the rest of the menu soon! I only feed back would be that the packaged fortune cookies be replaced with a newer batch -- they taste was a bit old and stale. Couldn't eat ours. read more

Ordered online and waited almost 40 min for our food. Then we were not even told that our food was ready. We ordered a few things, I can only speak for the Pad Thai that I got. It was not edible to say the least. Added tofu to only get 4 little pieces? All the noodles were clumped together and tasteless. I was only able to stomach a couple bites unfortunately. read more

With the high cost of dining out not to mention take-out Asian Bowl is one of few places that I can truly enjoyed for those on a shoestring budget. They have a list of diverse menu selections and drinks which is why I chose this place so I came by on a Saturday morning rather than on a weekday in an area that is comprised of high tech business otherwise it would be pack with lunch crowds. It was quite refreshing being the only customer and greeted very warmly by a young employee I placed my order payable by credit/debit they don't accept cash which is understandable with all the recent break-in. For $12 I chose the chilli garlic wheat noodles comprised of red bell peppers and green onions you can request non spiciness if you desire so. For drinks I chose one hot cup of Vietnamese coffee with a bit of condense milk for $5 very reasonable for its price. I really enjoyed the meal very generous portion and would definitely come back for pad thai and appetizers. A real plus is they have a large outdoor patio shared with other surrounding business along with ample parking and less traffic on a weekend. Highly recommend to my co-workers, friends and families. My go to and probably the best Asian fusion in the South Bay. read more

If you're looking for flavorful and delicious vegetarian restaurant in North San Jose, look no further! Asian Bowl/My Asian Bowl can deliver South East Asian vegetarian cuisine that will leave you full and satisfied. We dined there and tried so many dishes: 1. Chili Garlic Noodle. A must order if you love spicy and noodle dishes. The flavor just hit the spots for us, and we would re-order this dish again for future visits. 2. Blue Ocean Fried Rice. Aside from beautifully plated, the blue rice was also delicious! Using pea flower, which is organic edible flower, blue rice flower can also be a healthier choice from any regular fried rice. 3. Tofu Manchurian. Protein lovers, here is your protein dishes, packed with tons of flavors, simmered with reduced sauce. A perfect combination to have with the Blue Ocean Fried Rice. 4. Malaysian Roti Pratha. THE CURRY SAUCE is the BOMB! I have never tasted curry sauce this GOOD! The roti pratha can be a little be thicker for me, but the flavor is there. All you need to do is just to dip the roti into the sauce, and indulge in tons of spice and flavors! 5. Vegetarian Baos. This is similar to any pork baos that other Chinese places have. Yes they are good, and yes they are perfect of appetizers. This dish also perfect for kids, or someone who like to have a lite bite. Get their awesome Vietnamese Coffee. Surely will give a little boost that you need for that 2pm time! read more

Management feedback: Kudos on opening a superb vegan eatery. During our initial visit, we ordered garlic noodles which was too spicy and phad thai which was great. However, on last two occasions at approximately 5:30 pm, the restaurant was closed for cleaning, leading us to dine at Annapurna nearby. Suggest adjusting hours or completing cleaning tasks before 5 pm to avoid potential business loss. read more

In short this is an Americanized Indo Asian fusion restaurant.

( Thai + Malaysian + Chinese + Korean etc) Will definitely be coming back ! read more

Excited to try a new spot only to be disappointed. ordered the Thai sizzling plate and it wasn't very good. Nearly all of it was greasy, flavors were off and too spicy. When I asked the woman who took our order if they ask their customers what scale of spicy they would like she said no and that normally its not spicy...alot of East indians like it really spicy. I didn't appreciate that ignorant remark. She didn't ask if we'd like our food remade or if we'd like something different. Two thumbs down for food and lack of service. read more
