Food, service, experience, atmosphere, cleanliness. Kim,Megan & Malika and cooks do a good job in balance. Seeing the owner is good as well. A well balanced experience from Boltiful team at this location. Always room for improvement!!! read more

Amazing food and customer service. Whether you're on a diet or want to try something new they have great options. I've tried 6 of their premade bowls and like all of them! read more

The service was really good the people were all very welcoming and hospitable. The noodles were my fav along with the shrimp

First time visit and totally impressed! Kim & Lauren were incredibly helpful talking us through the options and sharing their favorite combos. Given all the options I needed the help. I ended with a chimchuri steak and teriyaki chicken bowl with broccoli and mushrooms (plus all the bases, toppings and sauce). Everything was cooked well (meat tender, not dry) and well seasoned! My daughter had a BBQ chicken and rice kids bowl that she actually ate and it was part of a kids eat free promo- thanks for the nice surprise! Excited to come back and try more! read more

Looks like a promising restaurant with a build-your-own bowl or salad experience. I appreciate that the ingredients were all gluten free. There is also a nice variety of proteins and vegetables. The atmosphere is clean and gives modern cafeteria vibes. The people working were friendly and helpful, explaining the process, as it was my first visit. I ended up going with the sweet potato noodles and spinach base, adding garlic broccoli and teriyaki chicken. You can choose some toppers as well. I actually found the combination too heavy and greasy. Portions are decent. Next time, I would skip the noodles and maybe try a rice, plus a different protein or vegetable. One of the specials also caught my eye, so I ordered the harvest salad. When I went to add a protein (I asked if it was possible, they said yes), I chose the steak and it was $8 extra. I was confused since it was labeled with $4 extra charge, but evidently that was only if you ordered a regular build-your-own bowl. That was not apparent to me, and unfortunately, it defeated the purpose of trying the special, since it ended up being even more expensive than a regular BYOB. My husband said the flavors of the salad were good, that the steak was a little overcooked but fine. They have a rewards program, but right now, it sounds like it's special offers, not necessarily earning points for credit. I have been looking for healthy meal take-out options to try, in lieu of food delivery services. I'm open to trying this place again, but maybe because of my high hopes, it was just alright. If they would consider less sauce on the protein (when it's mixed together), it may help it feel less heavy. This is coming from a sauce on the side kind of gal. read more

Absolutely love the concept, but the reality was pretty underwhelming. Although the selections were pretty standard stuff, nothing really tasted all that complimentary or cohesive, and it kinda just felt like a mish-mash of random stuff thrown together. Also, the taste / cooking of the food was nothing special and honestly tasted like something the average person would quickly throw together at home on a weekday night. Not exactly something you want to spend your time and money going to eat out for. The sauces were also too heavy in my opinion and didn't add any value to the bowl. If anything, it made it more difficult to finish since I got tired of eating it pretty quickly. I think the concept has a lot of potential, but the actual execution felt like a swing and a miss. read more

Great place for build your own bowl when speaking about healthy food. Service was nice and quick as there wasn't a line when we were there. But the sauce staffs added might be a bit more than we expected for each one we asked for lol. All the meats we ordered on that day were all a bit dry and hard to bite. read more

Came here for lunch last week. I've been on a bit of a salad kick lately, and this place definitely hit the spot. I went with the two-protein bowl and chose the salmon and teriyaki chicken. It was a little pricey for a salad in my opinion, but it is what it is. They have a huge selection of ingredients to choose from, although some items cost extra once you go beyond the included toppings. The portion size was generous--I couldn't even finish the whole bowl. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the mushrooms were easily my favorite part. This is also a great spot for vegetarians and vegans, with plenty of fresh options to customize your meal. There's enough variety that you'll want to come back and try something different. The lunch rush wasn't too bad, and I received my order fairly quickly. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, but I did notice a few tables that could have been cleared sooner to help seat customers more efficiently. Overall, it's a solid place for a fresh, healthy meal. A little on the expensive side, but the quality, freshness, and portion size make it worth checking out. I'll definitely be back. read more

A new healthy bowl fast-casual restaurant prioritizing fresher ingredients. Get the sauce on the side, and always ask for samples if you're unsure. I talked with the owner at length since he was around for the opening, and he really emphasized how important to the store it was to get the freshest ingredients possible. From the always-fresh chicken and steak ("New York strip!"), to the meticulous brand choices for the black rice ("specifically pressure cooked to perfection") and the white rice ("this [REDACTED] brand is the best!"), it's clear that there's a lot of deliberate choices and love behind the portion sizes, veggies, proteins, and even the branding ("everything but two things are gluten free"). I would personally recommend the sweet potato noodles, the steak, and the roasted chickpeas as the highlights of the menu. I think the base proteins being three different sauced chickens and tofu is a bit disappointing, as getting the premium bowl at $19 makes it an expensive meal compared to all the options in the rest of the plaza. Also, the one time I got the sweet chili mayo on top, it overpowered the rest of the bowl, so while the sauces are all good I'd still strongly recommend getting all sauces on the side. There's a lot of different salad bases, but while those don't really appeal as much to me, it does spoil the average consumer for choice. If you're unsure of what to try, there's a really generous sampling policy currently where you can basically try everything. In terms of quality, you can't go wrong! read more

Boltiful just opened their second location in Rivermark and it's the perfect spot if you're trying to eat clean without sacrificing flavor. Everything here is made with fresh ingredients, and the best part -- you can fully customize your bowl! Pick your base, veggies, protein, toppings, and sauce to build exactly what you're craving. My go-to combo: - Salmon - Potatoes - Brussels sprouts - Sweet potato noodles - Sweet chili mayo So filling, balanced, and actually hits every time! They also offer catering (and I've heard they're a go-to for a lot of tech offices ) The owners are super sweet and I can tell they are really passionate about what they are building here. If you're in the area, come by to support! read more

This is the best food in the Plaza if you want healthy options. The service is excellent and it's a good place to sit down and eat your meal in peace. The outdoor seating is pleasant and the interior has good lighting and presentation. A lot of people coming in for the first time build their own bowl. Everything is fresh and the portions are generous for the price. Shout out to Kim, Lila, and Malika making my bowl great every time. I eat here a lot and always leave satisfied. read more

Their grand opening was a week ago. I saw it on social media and decided to have a work lunch there with my former and current staff member. Negative was that there was a bone in my teriyaki chicken bowl. Luckily I was able to catch it before it went through my throat. Prices were steep for bowls from $14-20. Although I do understand that rent for that location must be expensive. Positive was that staff are friendly, although, somewhat got confused on the orders. She quickly corrected it. There is some seating inside and outside, but the place is on the smaller side. Of course the location is ideal in the Rivermark Plaza where there are lots of shopping and eating including the best Safeway in the Bay Area IMO. read more

We heard about this place recently and came in to try it. Seems like this location just started couple of weeks ago. So impressed! Great healthy options to pick. Especially with families who have all diverse requirements, this is a perfect place. Plenty of vegetarian options. The veggies are grilled so well too. My personal favorite was the black rice, it was perfect. Teriyaki chicken was the most popular option and we liked it. I missed trying the kale salad, next time! The sweet potato noodles were a little on the sweeter side, but it was a great hit with the kids. Tip: Take the sauce on the side, so that you can relish the flavors of the meat and veggies too. read more

If you want a place that sells your typical healthy food, but without the healthy labelling kind, look no further than your locally Asian-owned green business -- Boltiful Kitchen! I want to give a big shoutout to the Boltiful Kitchen staff for giving me the opportunity to try (and purchase) some new things at the store -- along with some goodies that they gave us. They had a wide variety of drinks available -- from mango lemonade, to Thai tea, and iced tea, and more. They also had fountain drinks as well, and honestly it made all the difference. There were different types and varieties of vegetables and grains to choose from, ranging from jasmine rice to kale bits and more. I love how there are a wide variety of protein options to choose from, including teriyaki chicken, barbecue chicken, miso glazed tofu, and more. They also had spicy Thai shrimp, roasted salmon, and more premium options -- all of which were really good options because none of the proteins were ever fried or put through the frying process. It neither contained any MSG. The ambiance was BRAND new, and I'm so glad they opened this location for all the people who live in the Rivermark. All in all, this experience was such an amazing one and I'm glad that a second location opened for all the people who live around the Rivermark Santa Clara -- or who have activities that happen around that area. A must recommend! read more

I've been craving a good bowl and really missing Cava, so I was so happy to finally try this place out. It's basically a build your own bowl spot where you can customize everything with their fresh toppings or choose from their created signature bowls. The employees were so sweet, answered all of my questions and even let me sample after telling them it was my first time. I liked the variety of their protein options, but I probably wouldn't go for the chicken again. I liked the flavor a lot, I just didn't like that it had a lot of bones and it was veiny. I liked the steak, it was really tender. A lot of their better proteins were $4 extra, so it could get a little pricey. Overall still a very fresh and tasty spot that I'd come back to! read more

I wasn't planning to stop at Boltiful Fresh Kitchen. I just saw it was newly opened at Rivermark Plaza in Santa Clara and thought -- why not. That was the right call. I ordered two bowls: the veggie and the spicy Thai shrimp. The shrimp had this slow-building heat that actually made me pause mid-bite. The veggie bowl was the kind of thing you eat and feel genuinely good about -- not in a sad salad way, in a "I'm actually full and happy" way. Everything is built in front of you. Open kitchen, fresh ingredients, zero mystery about what's going into your bowl. The sauces are all house-made and gluten-free, and the portions are generous without feeling heavy. The kids eat free deal every Saturday and Sunday is the kind of thing that makes a newly opened restaurant an instant regular spot for families. Smart move by them. read more

Drove up from San Francisco for a concert at Levi's and wanted to stop for some food before a concert we were attending. As someone who is gluten free, I really appreciated this place's attention to detail and their commitment to a fully gluten free and allergen conscious menu. The place is very nice inside and the employees are super helpful and friendly. The food was tasty and definitely left us feeling FULL! We will definitely be back. Special thanks to Kim who helped us out today. :) read more

My lady and I stumbled upon this restaurant after seeing the other restaurant we originally want to go to closed for Easter Sunday. We walked in and were immediately greeted by workers and what seemed like the owners as well. We told them it was our first visit and a kind gentlemen gave us a rundown on the menu and let us know it was actually the last day for their BOGO Bowl deal since they just opened recently. I ordered a bowl with Kale salad, black rice, Tuscan Zucchini, and BBQ chicken. My lady ordered Sweet Potato Noodles, Kale salad, Herb roasted potatoes and Chimichurri Steak. The food overall was pretty solid, it's another, "build your own"' style of restaurant. My lady and I found that the Kale salad was a little dry as well as the black rice not being as soft as we'd like. The taste of the protein options were pretty flavorful. I hope to see more and newer protein options in the future too. My favorite things were the glass noodles and the herb roasted potatoes. For the portion size/taste, price, and customer service we got for our first visit I couldn't really complain. read more

Grand opening store in Rivermark Plaza - with special BOGO offer, I customized my bowl to include lemon chicken, Asian chicken, broccoli, corn, cucumber, button mushrooms, Soybeans and almonds - with a combo base of spinach and clear noodles. $18 per bowl but then $4 extra for anything other protein than chicken or tofu. Salmon, shrimp, steak, which is slightly sneaky. Creamy garlic and pesto dressing both add a positive dimension to the palate, otherwise, most of the ingredients are quite bland. It's a large portioned bowl that very much fills you up. Boltiful is a great healthy option compared to the other restaurant options in the plaza. read more

So, this is my first time here. Although not what I was expecting, my Miso Tofu Bowl was delicious! (From the photo and description, I was expecting the dish to be more like a salad and cold, not warm --except maybe for the tofu. I guess you can say it was a pleasant surprise. The ingredients all went well together and it was very filling. If it wasn't warm, I may have split it into two meals! read more

I work around here and go around for lunch. This new location has been such a good addition to the rivermark plaza. All the ingredients are so fresh, clean, well prepared. I like the build your own bowl model and they have more healthy and filling options here than any other restaurant in the vicinity. I got the chimichurri steak salad, absolutely delicious and they had so many dressing options too. All the vegetables were crunchy and you can taste the freshness. Easy 5/5 rating! read more

Extremely good tasting food and excellent costumer service. Very chill spot as well to loaf.

The food was fresh and service was amazing! Kim was the best 10/10! Music was cool and vibes were nice

Just order and pickup so no ambiance. Food was great and it was prepared fairly quickly. So of the family has celiac and no one got sick so that also a plus. We were initially looking for somewhere to sit down and eat and there wasn't anything I saw that stated that before we arrived so that was a bit of an issue. Still , if you're going to order for pickup it's wonderful read more

Mediocre overpriced food. Healthy? Sure but its no better than making my own food at home. The chimmichurri steak was chewy and everytime we go (which this is only our 2nd time), it's always "sold out" so we have to wait 5-10 minutes. Bowl is loaded with mostly base. For the kids bowl, i asked for veggie instead of base, but they said no, its veggies or protein. The menu clearly states base OR veggie plus 1 protein. Prob won't go back. Sorry, I'd rather go to the Chipotle across the street. read more

What makes Boltiful stand out is the friendly staff and food selection that will elevate your bowl experience. Kudos to Joe and Megan who were very helpful and super kind to me. When I came in, Megan immediately said hi and welcomed me with samples. Joe, the manager, stepped in and helped me with the rest of my bowl, even recommending his favorite sauce, which is the creamy garlic sauce! He wanted to make sure every customer was served. It was cool seeing him talk to the other customers enjoying their food.   I created my own bowl, which had jasmine rice, noodles, bbq chicken, corn, and sauce. Everything was very tasty, especially the garlic sauce. I can see why Joe likes it a lot! The portion size is surprisingly a lot since the bowl itself looked kinda small. I was full the entire day. When I finished eating, Megan gave me this korean sauce on the side to try, which was really good!   I implore you to visit Boltiful Kitchen if you want good service mixed with delicious food. The team here obviously cares about their craft! read more

Great spot for a tasty and healthy bite. The protein choices are amazing. Highly recommend the signature bowls especially the Barbacoa beef!

Kim is always so helpful whenever I come in. Love coming here and getting new recommendations!

Caught the grand opening and honestly? This place might have just stolen my heart (and my stomach). The staff was genuinely helpful -- like, actually helpful, not "let me point vaguely in a direction" helpful. Portions are hefty, so come hungry. The flavors are great which makes sense because the ingredients actually are fresh. Think Chipotle-style build-your-own vibes, but Asian Box like food, but make it way better. I walked in a curious neighbor and left a loyal regular. New go-to unlocked. read more

Ordered the large bowl and man I am full. Feels so healthy. The Thai tea with refills is a nice touch.

Fresh and fast food with really great flavor profiles and lots of customizability! Kim and Lauren at the front were super kind and asked if I wanted to sample anything before committing to it in the bowl which was fantastic. The space is nice and clean and there is a bathroom available for customers in the back. read more
