Been coming here since they opened and I usually come here for a healthier option if I'm lazy to cook at home. Pretty good selections, I usually just get their teriyaki chicken bowl. I appreciate how they let you sample as well and I've always experienced good customer service from the staff!! read more

Fresh healthy new spot in San Jose that's somewhere between sweetgreen and chipotle but better quality than both! Such yummy ingredients for a fun build your own bowl experience with a good space to sit and chat. I got a chicken teriyaki bowl with a base of kale salad and sweet potato noodles. Though the portions were generous, the amount of noodles was a little overpowering, so next time I will probably go for either a green base or just rice. The vegetables were extremely well cooked, and next time I will probably opt to get more than just one.the sauces were also great. I tried the spicy Thai, which was a great addition to the kale itself. I will definitely be back to try marvel combinations. I love how customizable and fresh everything is. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

The deets: $14.99 or $18.99 for a bowl and if you want a premium protein like shrimp $4 more or some toppings are $1.00 too. Came here on a friends recommendation of their black rice, I was intrigued so went in and got 2 bowls and 2 drinks, $50 plus dollars later not sure if it was worth it when other options just as yummy and not so price thirsty are in the area. What drove me to put 2 stars is it was fresh and good flavored but the lack of enthusiasm from the meh attitude of the girl helping, her small portion of shrimp and one of the non premium toppings was cucumbers which my friend got 3 slim slices of was a joke. In an era where we all want and strive to be healthy this establishment is not for the masses, go else where or sprouts buy your own items $50 worth and eat for a week. Was the black rice good? It was...but not worth the price and what's more parking is a headache. Establishment is clean and bright, drinks were yummy otherwise hard won't ever come back pass for me. read more

High recommend if you are looking to eat better and have it taste as good too read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Highlights *Build your own bowl *Delicious food, if you're okay with a generalized pan-Asian style *This plaza has very full parking lot on weekends This is a Chipotle-Style, build-your-own-bowl kind of place. We got the biggest size and shared between the two of us. I'm not really sure how to classify the cuisine though I'll go with pan-Asian/American fusion. Although it wasn't from a specific region, it was really delicious. Ambience was great on a Sunday afternoon. The only challenge is the parking lot can get very full on weekends (which is true for the whole plaza). The House drink (a lemonade) was really sweet. I kept going back to dilute it with the carbonated water and it was still too sweet for my liking. Once I got home and could do a 50/50 split, it was perfect. I'll be back again! read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - House drink - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

We were looking for a healthy quick lunch to grab before heading to an A's game from SJ to Oakland and found this place on yelp. I am so glad more places like this are popping up with fresh and wholesome options in a quick dining setting. Did I also mention it is in the same shopping center as Home Goods? Talk about power fuel for shopping! We each got a large bowl and it was enough for two adults and one toddler. I ordered the lemon chicken bowl after trying the teriyaki and my toddler preferred the former. I had it with noodles & rice, potatoes, and paid extra for the tuscan zucchini. I absolutely loved the noodles and how light but flavorful they were. My son loved the chicken, rice and potatoes. I am obsessed with the tuscan zucchini (one of my fave veggies) and now want to recreate them at home. I got the spicy mayo on the side but I honestly didn't even need it. The food help up well a few hours later. My only feedback is that I wish they had brown rice as an option instead of black rice. That would be a much healthier option. The service is super friendly and despite only being open a month, everything was organized and they were very helpful! I can't wait to come back! read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - Lemon Chicken Bowl (bottom) and Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl (top) - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is awesome - fresh, healthy food that is completely gluten-free! We come here at least 3 times a week. The Boltiful spicy sauce pairs perfectly with the rice bowls. read more

I dropped by at 5pm as I saw how highly rated this place was and when I came inside, it was very clean. It resembles a more upscale chipotle. I wish the price reflected it. The food handler was kind to let me try the meat, like the chicken teriyaki and Thai shrimp. None of them tasted authentic at all and was overcooked. I got a salmon since it was something I didn't try and was disappointed but not surprised that it was a bit over cooked. The glass noodles were bland. Everything else was acceptable, but I don't think I'd ever come back here, it's not worth the food to taste to cost ratio in my opinion. read more

food is up to standard, service is good, ambiance is alright, but one thing they get wrong all the time is portion sizing, i am paying a good amount to get 3 oz of whatever protein. its ridiculous, i feel like im being shortchanged out of my hard earned money to get a dinky portion, cmon boltiful! we pay already so much for the bowl i will make it back at some point; but next time; PLS GIVE UR CUSTOMERS MORE PORTIONS FOR WHAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR!!!! read more

Great dine-in experience at Boltful! The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back!

Delicious and unusual flavors, fresh ingredients, and delightful customer service. Make for a lovely impromptu lunch. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE Dang, apparently my Yelp review was not meant to end there. In a feat of being spaced out, I managed to leave my card in the register at checkout and only discovered its absence when I was at the grocery store also at checkout. Little did I know that Jason, the friendly human who had made my Lunch Bowl, upon discovering my card had yelped a message to me which entailed creating a new account, and when I walked into the shop it was in the register all wrapped up in a like the receipt with the date and time I had abandoned it. Wonderful customer service and humanity along with a great lunch. Thank you so much Jason! read more

The service was amazing! The options are plentiful and the ambiance is truly soul inspiring. I had a teriyaki chicken bowl with kale and their boltiful sauce which has a Korean twist. Definitely will come back here for a clean delicious high nutrient meal again! If you like Cava you'll enjoy Boltiful! read more

The staff were so nice and the dining area is really clean and modern. Great location and huge parking lot. We got large bowls which consisted of 2 bases, 2 veggies, 2 proteins, and 2 sauces per bowl. I love that we're able to customize our whole bowls! Everything was good and tasted clean without being flavorless. Two things that I would have liked better: - If the rosemary leaves weren't on the potatoes. When eating potatoes, I expect a soft experience. The rosemary leaves were kinda hard and got stuck in my teeth. I think cooking the potatoes with sprigs of rosemary instead of the leaves themselves would help a lot. - Less sauce. The sauces overpowered the already flavorful foods and made the bowls too salty. I did ask for less sauce but I think the staff didn't hear. Even my partner who LOVES saucy foods said it was a bit much. I'd come back but I'd probably get less to no sauce and skip the potatoes read more

Came here for lunch with a friend and so thankful it wasn't super-packed. As some others have said in their reviews, it's like a Chipotle-style setup where you can build your own bowl (w/ limits) or get one of their signature bowls. The food is here more Asian-skewing, but I can't say full Asian or even Asian fusion, really. They have things like Spicy Thai shrimp and Miso tofu which are Asian origins but then Barbacoa Beef, Mediterreanean tomatoes, and pesto which are not. I ordered a regular-sized Spicy Thai Shrimp bowl which came with a recommended creamy garlic sauce. With a regular bowl, you get 1 protein, 2 bases, and 2 veg sides. At first, I was kind of bummed at the idea of the limit on the veggie sides since I had Chipotle in my head from reading other reviews, and they load the sides and toppings on with as much as you want but ultimately, it made sense for this place because it's a decent amount of food and really, the two gives balance to the bowl flavor. All of the ingredients in my Spicy Shrimp bowl were very fresh. I got a very generous portion of shrimp which was great because it's easy for a food business to skimp on protein and load up on bases. The sweet potato noodles are more or less like japchae Korean noodles, which I happen to love. The spinach and almond salad was a nice, crisp, fresh element to the texture of the bowl, but I only found one sliver of almond in my bowl, so it was more like just a base of spinach. There was the option to get sauce on the bowl or on the side - I didn't want to create extra waste so I just got it topped on my bowl. It was nice and garlicky, VERY creamy, and a good compliment to the flavor of the dish. I had the taste of garlic in my mouth for hours after the meal I do, however, wish I had asked for a little less sauce as it was much thicker and creamier than I expected. Note to self for next time. The spice of the Spicy Thai shrimp portion of the bowl was pretty mild. I may just try topping the bowl with the spicy Thai sauce next time to see if it kicks things up a notch. All in all, it was clean, fresh, with great options to get a healthy meal. I would totally come back and hope this business stays open long enough for me to make another visit. Some of these spots seem to be a revolving door for restaurants, but I'm crossing my fingers that this one does well and finds a nice long-term home here. read more

Tried this place again, and had a great experience. The portion size was very generous today (with my bowl getting full scoops of the protein and veggies today), and I found the price to be more fair when I brought my own drink. The woman who helped me gave great recommendations that resulted in a much better tasting bowl, and when I asked about the sauces, she told me that the mayo base was vegan. I appreciate the attention to quality, taste, and overall healthy options and ingredients they have available to choose from. read more

Hearty and healthy and you get to build your own to your liking! We've been here a few times and everything is consistently fresh and yummy. The bowls are very filling so you get your moneys worth. They have a good variety of bases, protein and sides so you can change it up each visit. It's quick and easy for those who are crunch for time during their lunch break. It's located in the same plaza as the habit, sprouts and ulta so parking lot if busy during peak lunch hours. read more

Boltiful Fresh Kitchen - It WAS the roasted SALMON Bowl with the boltiful sauce - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Tried this place out with a friend for the first time today and while the food was good, the service made the experience somewhat distasteful. We arrived a little before 12pm and were the first ones in - the ambiance was empty and not busy. As I looked at the menu, I was disappointed at the lack of detailed ingredients for each menu item. I'm dairy-free - so I ultimately wanted to know if their proteins, veggies and sauces were made with butter. When I asked the employee assisting with my bowl, they responded with uncertainty when it came to knowing if the salmon was made with dairy/butter (tbh, it concerned me that this wasn't clarified). I felt rushed and almost as if I was inconveniencing the employee with my questions around each item and the ingredients, but if I'm paying for it, I have to make sure I can eat it. When it came down to the sauces, another employee was assisting me and I asked for further clarification on if the sauces had dairy; the initial employee assisting me interjected and said "all the sauces are dairy free" - I found that incredibly hard to believe considering one of the sauces was labeled as "creamy garlic" & decided to go with the pesto.. unsure if there was cheese in it. *edit: just noticed the owner confirmed on this page that all the sauces are dairy free* What I ended up ordering was okay - Not sure if I'd return but if I do, I'd probably opt to have the sauce on the side because drenching it over the bowl was too much. I hope that the next employee(s) I come across would be more knowledgeable in the menu items. read more

Great, healthy, food. Good portions. Food has great flavor! Split the large bowl into 2 and have 2 meals.

Megan and Natalia were great in serving my friend and I. They were helpful in telling us what options are available, and their energy was great! I felt welcomed and am excited to come back again. read more

Just my second time around to trying this place but still very impressed with my experience here. From ordering, to the service and taste - this place is a solid place to eat at. Walking in the space is well lit, super clean and pretty well spaced out with the amount of seating they have going on. The space is bright and not stuffy at all like other lit places I've been to and I enjoy that very much. Service is quick! It's pretty similar to ordering at a poké place or chipotle so nothing really crazy going on. The workers seem really chill and they are great at making recommendations if you're not sure of what to try. Even when it was busy with lunch rush I've observed their team swiftly serve without any kind of hold up. The flavors are flavoring. Everything I've tried so far from this place was seasoned and cooked very well. Like every protein option didn't seem to let me down in anyway. I would say that my favorites so far has to be the Spicy Thai shrimp - bursting with flavor and the right texture for shrimp. They also give a good amount to you! Me and my friends felt satisfied and filled with our bowls and didn't leave us feeling hefty and lethargic. Anyways I'll stop before this becomes too long of a review. LOL just give it a try and enjoy this great eatery. :) read more

10 out of 10!!! Would definitely recommend anyone looking for something new and delicious! We had the opportunity to meet the owner who was fantastic! Clearly passionate about his unique menu and sauces. We had the lemon chicken bowl and the bbq chicken bowl. We devoured both before we could get a photo. So good! We will definitely be back for more! Also- restaurant has a simple, clean, esthetic that is very comfortable. read more

Great spot for fresh and healthy food! It's a build-your-own bowl concept similar to Chipotle and poke restaurants. Loved how there's several whole food options to choose from. I went with the regular bowl (2 bases, 1 veggie, 1 protein, 1 sauce), which was more than enough -- they don't skimp out on portions here! The brussel sprouts and lemon chicken were super flavorful. If you're stuck between options, you can ask to try a sample. Very clean and spacious restaurant. Staff were patient and friendly. May come back to try their miso glazed salmon, though it's a +$4 add on. read more

Boltiful is an awesome choice for a healthy & filling lunch! I've been here a few times with my partner and we always enjoy how fresh and flavorful the food is here. I love their wild/purple rice, salad blends, lemon chicken, chimichurri tomatoes, and roasted broccoli! All their sauces are also to die for. Their brussel sprouts are a bit too salty for me, but I love their other veggie options. I always have leftovers when I eat at Boltiful because they give you so much food and it makes for a perfect dinner or midday munch. The service here is quick and friendly. There is some indoor & outdoor seating here, but we typically pick this up and bring it back to the office to eat. The store is clean, welcoming, and located in a pretty popular plaza - it's one of the better lunch spots in the area. Pro tip: they have stamp cards, so make sure to get one and get yourself a free meal! More lunch spots need to follow Boltiful's steps. read more
