    Bulgogi Bibimbab Bowl
    Kristen Z.

    Simple and quick but great with flavor! Located in the Nashville Farmers Market in their food court, the set up is as you would expect. But all the restaurants here are above standard food court status. The staff at Bowl & Roll and very nice and even help you to order if you e never had them before. Including with how to pronounce items. I got the Bibimbap (Korean rice bowl) with Bulgogi and veggies. Very delicious. And paired well with my matcha Bubble tea from Bubble Love next door!

    Great stand at the Nashville Farmer's Market offering Korean cuisine and sushi at very reasonable prices. We ordered the bulgogi bibimbap bowl and it was delicious. After eating so much Nashville hot chicken, it was a great change of pace. I loved the flavor and fresh ingredients. We always stop at this market when in Nashville and will make it a point to stop by this restaurant during the next visit.

    Bulgogi Bibimbap and Kimbap Crazy Roll, both delicious!

    Bowl & Roll is a small stall situated among plenty of more brightly lit and colorful stalls, so it's easy to overlook. Do NOT overlook it!! The service was spectacular and quick, and the food was amazing! I have Korean relatives and have also spent time in South Korea, and I can tell you that this food is authentically Korean and delicious. The stall is clean and well-kept as well. I had the bibimbap and the kimbap and it was so tasty that I could barely walk around the market afterwards because I was so full! I highly recommend Bowl and Roll. Pro tip: let the halmeoni (grandma) make your food as she sees fit, you won't regret it.

    Single order of Fried Rice Plate with Shrimp and Egg, split between two people.
    iridescent t.

    Split a Shrimp Fried rice between two people, cost $12.99, was absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and great for the price. Right next to the TN State Museum and close to Cannery Hall, so it's good for a pre concert meal or an afternoon lunch after the museum. Service was quick and polite. The market is air conditioned and the ambiance is fairly calm on a Thursday afternoon at 4:30. It was nice to just sit and have a meal somewhere that wasn't super busy.

    Beef ramen
    Veronica M.

    I'm really disappointed... everything is smoochy. I got the ramen and the PK Roll. The roll consistency was so sticky it was so hard to eat. It would get stock on the roof of my mouth, ha! And the ramen well, I could of made a Maruchan taste and look better than what I got. Portions were great, but it doesn't matter if you won't eat it. The staff was rude and they seem like they were annoyed with being there. There are other stuff you could be doing to earn money that won't kill your souls guys. The farmer market food court has plenty on space but it can get crowded during lunch ours so is their parking situation. They do have a parking lot.

    a bowl of ramen and a drink on a tray

    Vegetable ramen is amazing. Perfect amount of spice and I added all of the veggies! The service is outstanding, the man and lady who served me were so kind and helped me out with choosing. 10/10 would recommend Vegetarian Ramen

    Bulgogi and veggies over fried rice
    Maddie H.

    I had the Bowl & Roll food stand inside the Nashville Farmer's Market bookmarked for quite some time as I have not had Korean food since I moved to Nashville almost 2 years ago! When I had two friends visiting in town I decided to take them to the Farmer's Market to eat and all three of us ended up picking different choices for lunch, but I think I got the best thing! I ordered a bowl of fried rice with veggies and bulgogi on top. For anyone who has not tried bulgogi it is thinly sliced pieces of marinated beef which are delicious! They customize each bowl so they asked me which veggies I wanted and I said everything and was not disappointed with that decision. They give you a container of kimchi (fermented vegetables) and a hot sauce that tasted like a smoky, mild sriracha sauce. I happily mixed everything together and it was a delight. I got a bottle of Lipton sweetened green iced tea to go with it and my total was $12.87. Service was quick, the price isn't too bad and the food was great! I will definitely be back on my next visit to the Nashville Farmer's Market.

    Ordered veggies rolls to eat in and one to go, their bibimbap samples were delicious. The rolls are okay, would have been better with crab, spinach a and less eggs. Good enough until the next meal at least.

    Crazy Kimbap w/ Bulgogi
    Nicolette T.

    The Nashville Farmer's Market is a Nashville must. It is full of community, local artisans, farmers, business owners, and cooks. With so many dining options, it can be a bit overwhelming to choose where to eat. One of my all time favorites is Bowl & Roll. It's affordable, fresh, and delicious. I chose to get a small order of the Crazy Kimbap with Bulgogi. It is yum yumm yummm! So tasty, you really can't go wrong with any of their options, but I highly recommend ordering the Bulgogi as your meat.

    Rolling the Kim bop! Korean sushi is simple - no raw fish. Everything is cooked!

    Ask the Community - Bowl & Roll

    Is there parking that doesn't require paying?

    There is free parking at the farmers market (where Bowl & Roll is located). Depending on time and day, it can be easy to find a spot or it can be extremely difficult.

    Food was amazing!…read more Trinity was awesome! Atmosphere was beautiful. Music was a little loud for polite conversation (not a huge deal). HOWEVER, the manager ANGELO is a jerk (I can't publish the words I really want to use to describe him here). My brother and I were there with my 30-year-old nephew (we'll call him N) who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury. He was overstimulated from the 4th of July crowds and was dissociating a little. We were finished with our meal and dessert and waiting for the check. My brother and I were getting a little anxious about taking N back out into the crowds, so we were taking a few minutes to let N wind down. While I stepped away to the restroom, N rested his head against the back of the bench and put his feet up. Granted, not the classiest thing to do, but FAR from being a crime. When I returned from the restroom, little fatman ANGELO was blustering at N (where other diners could hear him) and telling my overwhelmed nephew how sleeping was not allowed in the restaurant and how N was violating ABC code...or some other garbage excuse to justify his "little-man syndrome" posturing. (BTW little-man syndrome is when insecure men have to puff themselves up and put someone else down to feel bigger- a spot-on description for Little Angelo). I am not a violent man, but I had to really fight my 'protective uncle' instinct to throw ANGELO through a plate glass window AFTER breaking some more ABC codes upside his pointy bloated head. We reported this inexcusable behavior to another manager on shift, who was appropriately horrified. If this is how ANGELO treats special needs customers (or ANY customer for that matter) he needs to be in the kitchen washing dishes (or better yet, wearing a "Zulu Zebra" suit and standing out front twirling a sign board) instead of being allowed anywhere NEAR respectable customers. I truly hate to give these awesome guys three stars, but ANGELO's behavior stamped a traumatic ending onto our wonderful dining experience.

    Fancypants blew me away. I don't say that often. I do give a lot of five star reviews because I…read moreadjust for expectations and situation, but Fancypants is so amazing I would rate it 10/5 if I could. The vibe is immaculate. Red velvet, gold streamers, a fancy chinatown vibe. You get a welcome cocktail for free, just for walking in the door. We sat on the patio, though a number of seating options are available. The patio was warm and breezy, lit with Christmas lights, and well separated from the street (though every now and then obnoxious street hotrods might make some noise). We started with the jammy ramen egg. And it's exactly as described. Jammy, not too runny, rich, savory, and a little spicy. Six bucks. After that, things start to get a little more pricey, but it's worth every penny. We also tried the ruffell's potato chips, sour cream, and caviar. I'm not even a caviar person, but I ordered it because where else am I gonna get the chance to try this combo?! It was salty and tangy and such an unexpected tastebud explosion. You can tell someone put a lot of thought into this menu. We shared an entree, the "roasted nubby farms chicken." My friend wanted this dish, so I acquiesced. I normally find chicken boring. But this dish was made with peach mostarda, mustard jus, spring onion mousseline . . . and the staff painstakingly explained each dish to us, but our senses were overwhelmed . . . but they served two different parts of the chicken and one was like this crazy almost bacon like flavor bomb and the other was this sexy, silky, moist, tantalizing wing and breast. I took more photos of my meal, but I was so excited that they were mostly blurry, so what you see is what you get, and you have to rely on my raving review. There are so many dishes I'm interested in here . . . including their BBQ mushroom, their vodka shells, the roasted cauliflower, Italian sausage. If we had been more hungry (we'd had a big day with small appetites), we would have gone for the chef's special or chef's big night out, where the kitchen chooses for you. They also had a giant steak available. The fun thing about this place is that it's kinda mysterious. The only menu you can find online are photos of menus, like mine, and it seems to change all the time. I don't know what you'd call this place aside from "fusion." Fusion of what? I have no idea. Japanese? American? Something else? NO IDEA. But it's amazing. For drinks, they have an interesting cocktail menu, but I am privileged enough that I could try their "roulette whiskey" game, where they bring a roulette wheel to the table and you might end up with a standard whiskey/bourbon or something that's usually 160 dollars a glass, like a rare Pappy Van Winkle. The game is truly random and fair and not fixed at all. And I broke even essentially, though honestly, the cheaper bourbon tasted better to me. The bartender brought it out personally, with the bottle, and explained what it was, the flavor profile, and why he made the particular cocktail he made (I requested a cocktail, you can also have it straight or on the rocks). The service is unmatched. I've been to a lot of Michelin star restaurants, and this service just . . . floored me. Every single person made it their mission to make sure this was the best dining experience I ever had. In addition to perfect dinner service, I asked where the bathroom was, in the back of the restaurant mind you, and the person led me all the way to the bathroom personally. Even though, "take a right and it's right next to the front door" would have easily done the job. These people have PRIDE in their work. The food is phenomenal. I am trying to come up with a reason to come here again soon. Like, who can I ask to go out with me? Who is adventurous? Who else can I share this fantastical place with?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

It's definitely has a scenester vibe but not in an off-putting way. The restaurant is smaller inside than it looks from outside making it feel intimate and cozy which is part of the appeal. The decor is whimsical and colorful. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Most of our group opted for the Chef Tasting menu as we wanted to try a lot of dishes. Standouts to me were the amuse bouche, a carrot mochi tart, the jammy egg, the tuna shiso bite, the vodka sauce macaroni and cheese and the steak course. There were a lot of other courses that had interesting flavors/textures but not exactly my taste. All of the plating was beautiful. I personally think that for some of the mid-service courses, the portion size could be reduced. It was tough to make it through to the steak course due to the size of some of the portions. The steak course is generous and served with a broccolini that evening. Also, a dessert course could definitely have replaced one of the middle courses. That being said, the Chef's tasting menu was well worth it and a fun culinary adventure. I highly recommend dining at Fancypants if you have a chance.

The Drunken Noodles didn't have very much flavor or any spice at all and also was a smaller portion since it was the lunch size which made it expensive as well. Not totally worth the price for everything in my opinion. The vibe and ambiance of the restaurant is great though, and it was a pretty easy place to go for a lunch in the middle of the work day. Parking is really easy with a large lot right out front which is always a huge plus!
