I really like Bountiful Bread and I go their frequently, mostly for their morning glory muffins…read more Their sandwiches, soups, and salads are just special and made with care. For example, my simple breakfast sandwich (pictured) was on a full ciabatta sub and it had spinach. The server, who is always there in the morning and always so kind, suggested an array of veggies when I told her I did not eat pork. The decor is peaceful - light brown wooden aesthetic. It would be a cool place to study. The only thing I do not like at BB is their coffee. They have a nice selection of bottled beverages, and if I really want coffee, then I go to Uncommon Grounds, but not until after I get breakfast from BB.

Love how they collect and cook all the ingredients right in front of you. It's kinda fun to watch. lol! My food was done in about 10 minutes and cost me around $10. The price differs depending on what you get. And the portion......took me two days to eat my bowl but I'm not complaining cause it was delicious so I'm happy I got to enjoy it twice. Next time I definitely wanna try another sauce cause I feel like it'll be a completely different experience. Yum!

I stopped in on a weeknight and ordered from the kiosk. I got the Grilled Chicken Signature Bol,…read morewhich is chicken, white rice, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta and their signature white sauce. I also ordered a side of pita and hummus. I was dining in and waited less than 10 minutes for my food. The portion was absolutely HUGE! I couldn't believe it. I barely made a dent in it! It tasted fresh and the sauce was really tasty. The pita and hummus were also fresh too. I grabbed a box for my leftovers and had another meal out of it. Overall, the place was clean, there was enough seating if you're dining in, the food was fresh and ordering was extremely easy. Definitely recommend!

As soon as I read some reviews and looked at Bol's menu, I made it a point to get over there as…read moreconveniently as possible to begin enjoying their food. The restaurant is clean and bright and comfortable. You can order either from the kiosk at the side, or at the counter - and they're really helpful at the counter. I crafted a bowl with grilled chicken. I was expecting the chicken to have a slightly stronger flavor, but all the extra items in the bowl plus the sauces I requested really enhanced the flavor. I'm a big fan of their hummus, and I'm almost addicted to their house white sauce, which has just the right amount of garlic in it. Their cucumber mint iced tea also has a great flavor, though I do find it a bit sweet. Be aware that it might take a few minutes for your order to be ready. Bowls with cooked ingredients will take slightly longer. Plus, they are already doing a huge take-out business, so you can't judge only by the number of customers sitting in the restaurant. This is a wonderful addition to the area, and I look forward to many more meals here.

The sub roll is toasted, then marinara is added, meatballs (without sauce), mozzarella and parmesan. Rolled tightly into paper, even for a sub staying in. Contrary to the photos - the cheese is NOT melted by a toaster, so it globs together in a mass, warmed slightly by the sub. The marinara is good, but because it's at the bottom, it soaks through the bread, making it a sloppy mess. And I was eating it right away, I can't imagine take away. I did ask for the sub to be toasted after the cheese was added, but I was told that isn't something they can do. The employees were super nice & friendly, as usual.

Every course was exceptional. The crab cake was outstanding, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and, as my wife said, it was the best blondie dessert she's ever had. The service was warm, attentive, and professional from start to finish. The cocktails were also outstanding--easily on par with some of the best we've enjoyed in major cities across the country. This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. It's clear the team takes pride in every detail, from the food and drinks to the hospitality. My wife and I will absolutely be back. Bravo to the entire staff for an unforgettable dining experience!

We were in town here grabbing some dinner with my nephew who is a student at RPI. It's been forever…read moresince I've been at a mall, but there was plenty of parking despite the rainy weather, and we got into here quickly for a table for dinner. Their dessert case right in front of the entrance was taunting me.... We were seated and greeted by Sang Jun, who was fantastic. It turns out that we are all Korean, we figured that out at the end of the meal but he was amazing as a server. Never needed to ask for anything, made several recommendations, and we had a really great meal and evening. The menu is giant! Come hungry for sure! I started out with a margarita flight, which was not only beautiful, but delicious. We started out with the ahi tuna nachos, which was delicious and beautiful. Scallions, tuna, fried wonton skins as chips, jalapeños and sauce that made it all worth every calorie. I ignored the jalapeños, but still inhaled the tuna and everything else. Crowd pleaser for sure. My nephew got the salmon special, served with sweet potatoes. I ordered the bang bang shrimp and chicken that came with lo mein. The sauce was a Thai curry base and has veggies and was literally inhale-able. I ate the proteins (cooked perfectly) and some of the noodles, then ended up eating the leftover noodles the next morning. Still just as good cold out of the fridge! My brother got the ramen. They were out of the pork (or it was off the menu) so he went with the beef. That looked so good, bowl was filled to brim with noodles, garnishes, and beef. It was perfect since he wasn't feeling well. My nephew decided halfway thru his salmon dish he wanted a side Caesar salad and Sang Jun brought one tha looked like it was made for the Internet. Well plated and giant portion. We were absolutely stuffed so we had no room for desserts, even though they looked so good in the cooler walking in. We had a nice discussion with SJ about our family trip to Korea last summer, telling him about some of the most embarrassing moments and getting a good laugh. I guess this is a chain, but I hope that I see one again. I'll be ready to have the same exact thing, or try something new- I'm sure it will be amazing. Thanks to the team and Sang Jun for a memorable meal here in Albany!

And they handle a line faster than some of the other places in Stuyvesant Plaza (think burgers and shakes). For a first meal here, I went with one of their bowls made without adjustments, so I'll have a better idea of what to tweak on future orders. It was about an hour before closing time, and I noticed that the greens were starting to look a little dry, perhaps not refreshed recently. You get a lot of rice. All of the ingredients blend well, though I wouldn't necessarily want as much sauce slathered on (something I can easily adjust). I was pleasantly surprised by the small, warm, soft pita I was given at the cashier. I do wish they had a few more unsweetened beverage options, all of their fountain drinks are sweetened. This is definitely one of the better options in the Plaza for a quick and healthy meal.

Husband and I came for date night and we LOVED everything we had! The drinks the food the atmosphere, everything was perfect! The service was quick friendly and fun! I had the lavender mocktail which came with actual pieces of lavender in it and my husband had the other mocktail offered. Both had beautiful presentation that was so enticing! For food I had the chicken skewers which for hot honey was NOT spicy in the least so don't let that scare you away if you're sensitive to spice it's incredibly mild. I wish a small bit of rice/zucchini or something was served with the chicken to fill out the meal but the chicken itself was SO yummy!! we also ordered the shoestring truffle french fries and we were a little nervous cause shoestring could be really thin, but these were the perfect size. They weren't too thin and they were so yummy. My husband ordered the salmon and that equally was perfect, served with quinoa. After we both had the raspberry cake for dessert! I found the dessert to be larger than the dinner for myself and I had a hard time finishing it so my husband finished his and mine lol it was so so good!! it's a beautiful dining room with the screened in porch. There is a champagne vending machine for mimosas. If you come for brunch, they also offer catering.
