Get the mongo tacos. You don't need to try the other tacos , I'm telling you we did the three variety pack and we regretted not just getting all mongo tacos. I loved the strawberry matcha but what stole the show was the OG bubble tea! Oh wow, so yum! The staff was so nice and such a good vibe in there. They have a DJ some Saturdays and I can't wait to go back! read more

I was looking for a healthy dinner option and found Balance Pan-Asian Grille. I really enjoyed my food here. From the menu I chose to built my own bowl which I enjoyed the most because of all of the flavors and veggies. However a word of warning the sauces can be spicy so I am glad they also added the yogurt base sauce! I also liked the milk tea and finally the nachos which were very different in taste and texture but surprisingly good. My order looked as following: 1× Build Your Bowl + Protein: Wok-Fired Steak (Bowl) + Starch: Fresh Greens (Bowl) + Vegetables & Garnish: Red Cabbage Kimchi Pickles Carrots (Steamed) Kale (Steamed) Crushed Peanuts 1× Purple Taro + Sweetener Options: Light Honey + Dairy Option: Dairy Milk + Garnish: No Garnish + Bubbles: Tapioca Bubbles + Tea Base (Milk Teas): Green Tea (Milk Tea) 1× Bang Bang Nachos + Vegetables & Garnish: Balance Farms Micro Cilantro Red Onion Tomato Chickpeas Seasonal Potatoes All in all I would recommend Balance and eat here again! read more

Balance Pan-Asian Grille - Toledo - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

The place is clean and the people are nice. But it is taking a very long time to get my food. Not sure why.

I've heard tales of dining at Balance, but I had to find out for myself if those tales were non-fictional or myths -- they're myths. Balance is one of the freshest eats you could ever stumble upon. They even grow their own herbs and veggies. One thing I hope the downtown location would invest in is curbside pickup. Overall, great service and spotless restaurant! read more

So insanely mediocre - this place is a joke to Asian food lol and the bubble tea is horrible (not sure if it should even be considered bubble tea) read more

Our first food experience in Toledo. We'll be here a couple of days, so fortunately we'll have time to make some better choices. We had to place our order on a touchscreen kiosk like it was Taco Bell or something. I despise that. If I wanted to avoid human interaction, I would have stayed home. My Bride ordered a standard teriyaki chicken bowl. I got the "Thai Guy" peanut curry chicken bowl. The kids did build-your-own bowls, and got that hypersweetened tea with the little balls in. None of our food was actually served warm. Mine was warm noodles with cold ground chicken, warm peapods and matchstick carrots, covered with literally RAW jalapeño slices and sprouts. Kid 1's bowl included roasted garlic cloves - they were so cold, they must have just come out of the fridge, but they included a surprise chunk of chicken bone, so that's something, I guess. Kid 2 had gotten "seasonal potatoes." On the bright side, they were blue potatoes, which are usually delicious. But these were both ice cold AND weirdly seasoned with a spice mix that was completely at odds with their teriyaki sauce. The ballful teas were, I'm told, good. At six bucks apiece, they ought to have been! After two days in the car, we just weren't even in the mood to deal with the hassle, so we got to-go lids for our boxes (they don't, evidently, use dishes) and took our food back to the hotel. Once we ran it through the microwave, it was actually pretty tasty. The total cost for two standard bowls, two build your own bowls, and two large cups of tea was $56.03 including tax, which wasn't too bad. In Richmond I'd have paid more than twice as much in tax, but those people are crazy. TL;DR- tasty enough once microwaved, but if you like your food served above room temperature, there are a lot of other restaurants in the area, and I'd recommend trying one. read more

Many great food options that are fresh and tasty! Quick service as you self order. Clean and well lighted establishment.

I love balance. Love love! But oh they dropped the ball tonight. I ordered a bowl, with a few adjustments and didnt get the sauce that was supposed to come with, got another sauce that I literally can't feel part of my tongue so spicy, and they put in a standard ingredient I asked them to omit due to an allergy. Unable to eat. The store on central has done better for us. read more

Lots of options for everyone including vegans and vegetarians. I got their lentil tacos which were pretty good, preferred them over their tofu. Their bang bang sauce is super spicy but delicious! Would also recommend their creamy wontons! read more

So quiet in there you could hear a pin drop. No ambiance music. Employees didn't say hello or acknowledge me until handing my food.. even then it was a 2-3 word interaction. Personal preference, but I despise automated ordering machines. Without human to human interaction it continually adds to the mental health crisis we've come accustom to. One employee was on his phone most of the time while other was cleaning and prepping. The silence killed me. Food was ok and served the purpose. read more

Soooooo stoked to have these guys downtown. It's great to have another healthy option that doesn't require me driving to west Toledo, and the demand is CLEARLY there. I popped in today for a quick to-go order and the line for ordering and waiting for orders was out the door! Pro tip: order online using their app 15-20 minutes prior to arriving. I noticed several people grabbing their online orders and then grabbing a seat. Smart! read more

Balance Pan-Asian Grille - Toledo - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

DELICIOUS FOOD! My kids love it hereband are always asking for balence fast service. Never had something here that I did not like! Thevmirald and paintings are so cool! Everyone comments on th ambiance of it. read more

One word: delicious. Easy ordering on the app that was ready when it was estimated to be. Staff are friendly and attentive. High quality food! read more

Background: Business traveler, mid-30s, solo. This is a neat pan-Asian fast casual place right in the downtown district of Toledo. The concept is simple. Order at the register, and your food is prepared behind a glass assembly line. I am deducting one star because the ability to customize (i.e. Moes) is simply missed. I had to rely on a cashier to explain the menu, rather than being able to pick and choose as I went down the line. Also, the bowl portion was incredibly tiny...I'm still hungry. The ingredients were clearly high quality, and the service was prompt. I would come back, but with the knowledge that a bowl is not a full meal here (unlike similar competitors in this space). read more

I come to this spot every Wednesday for lunch...it never disappoints...I don't think there is a bad item on the menu...wether you get the creamy wontons, the citrus Brussels Sprouts, a few tacos, or one of their bowls - you are in for good eating...it is vegetarian and vegan friendly, if that is your preference, or if you can get your meal with steak or chicken...the place if very clean, which is something I appreciate very much...though I am not a fan, they do have a Bubble Tea bar which is extremely popular! The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge! Definitely recommend anyone and everyone. read more

Ever since we found balance Grille we eat much better when we're on the go. It's fast food that's actually good for you. Prices are very competitive for just about any restaurant in the city of Toledo. It's actually Cheaper to eat at Balance then it is at McDonald's. The family loves Balances food because you're getting good for you nourishing food. Balance DOES NOT USE heavily processed food. And last but by no means least, you order your food in an à la cart fashion building whatever your choice is. It's a neat experience quite a place and there are about six locations in and around Toledo. I know the Toledo Summit St location is very good in the Maumee location on Dussel drive is also excellent. Don't cheat yourself, give Balance Grill a try I think you'll like it. read more

Balance is not only delicious, it's healthy too. There are vegan and vegetarian options. The staff is super friendly and make great suggestions for those of us who can't make up our minds. read more

Happy to see them downtown. I love their hours and that they are open until 9 on weekends. Great employees and the food is good and reasonable. Food is healthier than most of the restaurants downtown. I wish they would offer build your own bowls as an option. no bike parking though:( read more

Today was opening day and as expected it was very busy. I won't knock any points off for that. I ordered the Five Spice Tacos with Chicken. On the taco was Caramelized Onion, Potato Crisps, and Carrot, topped with Scallions and local Microgreens. You get a choice of a blue corn tortilla or a flour tortilla. I chose the blue corn tortilla. I also got their Curry Cauliflower. I enjoyed both, but I really enjoyed that Curry Cauliflower! I'll be back for that! I'm addition to tacos, they also offer rice and noodle bowl all fresh made. They also have bubble tea! All the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable of their menu. Balance Pan-Asian Grille is located in the heart of downtown Toledo and sure to be a lunch spot for those working in the area. I look forward to returning and trying the rest of the menu. read more

Awesome food. Great atmosphere. Friendly employees. Love the bubble tea. Will always be my favorite place to go.

My new favorite obsession! I love this place. The mongo tacos are addicting. I'm not really hipster enough to go in and order, but I use the app and just run in and pick up my food. read more

Food is always fresh, healthy and delicious. I don't ever feel guilty after eating Balance. This location can get busy during weekday lunch hours. I would recommend ordering ahead. You can that do via their app. I would go here for lunch more often if downtown parking wasn't so bad Would be great if you can offer delivery or Uber Eats read more

This was my first visit to balance and it was delicious. The Bang Bang taco were fresh and the ingredients crisp. The chicken was nice and moist. I'm glad I asked for the sauce on the side as it does deliver a bang! The creamy wontons were crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The Bang Band nachos were delicious. The purple potatoes on top were a nice contrast. My only complaint is that the frozen peach tea didn't have much peach flavor. If it had more flavor I would have given it 5 stars. read more

I'm visiting Toledo for a conference and this place was within walking distance to the hotel I'm staying at. Our group of women went there last night and it was DELICIOUS. The food was fresh, healthy and it had a really hip vibe. The gentlemen who helped us was very nice and answered all questions. I ordered the Thai guy bowl and the melon milk tea & they didn't disappoint! I think I'll go back for lunch again today! read more

Delicious fresh food and super friendly service! The only bummer for us was that they can't sell "just" popping bubbles, which is what we give our 3 year old when we get Bubble Tea for everyone else. read more

The bang bang nachos are crazy good, but when it comes to the other food options it is just ok. I have gone to this location a couple times and will not be coming back, because the employees come in sick. I went over to the bubble tea station, and the girl who would have served me had a runny nose that she was wiping with her hand. read more

I ordered two tacos and waited 35 minutes for them. By time I got them it was time to return to work so we had to scarf our food down. The tacos were so spicy that I was crying. I went to ask for a cup of water and nobody acknowledged me as I stood there for 10 minutes. I ended up having to get back in line and wait even longer just to pay for a bottle of water. The people who ordered ahead of time online were also receiving their food 30 minutes late. I would not go back read more

The new Balance location is very nice! Street parking is free on weekends and there is a parking garage right across the street that is free to the public after 4:30 pm. So far my favorite location! read more

I'm glad I found this place. The food was great. The wontons were a greater starter. Steve at the front walked me through the menu and ordering to my tastes. The green curry sauce was excellent. read more

I had the Wiseman chicken bowl. The veggies were really fresh, perfectly cooked. Not too mushy, nice crunch to them. Also had the blackberry cold crew boba, which was delicious. read more

I love balance. I could eat it every day of my life and be happy. BUT. Parking is an issue at this location. There is metered parking, but it is incredibly limited. I'm just saying, it would be incredibly useful to have a designated parking area for balance guests. Aside from that, everyone needs to try their new protein option; THE LENTILS! They are out of this world, seriously. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Nothing better than balance downtown. we have a work meeting every Tuesday that consists of 5 of us. We typically choose balance to eat at for the meeting. Every single time it is truly astonishing, the food and service is 10/10. Brenna, Jenna and Casey are always a delight to see and help us tremendously. Brenna remembers everyone's order!! The whole work crew at This place deserve everything they ask for they are hardworking and very very good at making customers feel welcomed. I can not wait To eat there next Tuesday. read more

My girl friends and I wanted a restaurant in downtown we could walk to. This place was excellent. 5 women all got different things from the menu and it was all great. Nice prices, fast service, Matt took care of us like we were his best friends. I highly recommend it! read more

Tacos are good. The bowls are a little above average. Nachos are ok, nothing special. The Brussels sprouts are very good. Glad to see downtown Toledo bringing in business and people. I will go back again. read more
