    Salmon Bowl
    Nhi V.

    Great price for the portion and macros. I got there at 1pm and there was no line. There was a great variety of ingredients to choose from, including some interesting ones such as curried cauliflower, sweet potato, and butternut squash. It was my first time trying farro and I love the texture. Since there were so many options, each bite becomes a texture heaven and flavor bomb. You get the crunch from pumpkin seeds and edamame, the tangy from pickled onions, the slight flavor from curry and yogurt, and of course your choice of meaty protein. The salmon was a bit tough, but seasoned nicely. I recommend getting the dressing on the side.

    The management staff was extremely helpful! As a first time customer I was offered a promotion deal to deduct 10 bucks from my 16 dollar order but the QR code didnt work. The manager on duty graciously honored their promotion and sold me the incredible bowl $5.87! Not to mention, all the salmon was cooked on cask iron skillet infront of me. And the veggies were fresh and seared to boot. The seating is open and easily accessible with free wifi and charging outlets. Noise level is moderate. One other thing to mention, this spot inside of understory and closes at 2pm. Hope you get a chance to try the food!

    Good quick lunch spot in the food hall. Ingredients felt healthy and was decently filling.

    Had an incredible lunch at Farro. I was seriously surprised at how delicious the food was... Wasn't expecting such incredible flavors from a healthy power bowl, but wow! You can build your own bowl or select the suggested combos from their menu. I went with the Baja, to keep it simple, and it packed amazing flavors! Heirloom rice, avocado, crispy tortilla chips, red peppers, cilantro, roasted sweet potatoes, queso fresco, perfectly cooked salmon, and that lemon vinaigrette! Seriously, I'm ready to go back and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Outstanding find among so many options in the downtown tunnels. There was a small line but moved super quick, under 2 minutes. Great value for the amount of food, quality ingredients, and outstanding flavors. And it's healthy! What's not to like? I wish there was one in my neighborhood where I could have it for dinner - but I guess I'll settle for it being my new lunch spot!

    Very filling salad bowls! I've been to Farro several times now, and it always hits the spot. My usual order is the Keto Bowl. What stands out to me the most here is the chicken, which they typically give a generous amount of. My only complaint is the price - while you do get a lot of food, it is more expensive than some of the other lunch spots offering similar items in downtown Houston. For how filling it is and the amount of protein included, however, I will continue to be back every once in a while.

    I tried Farro for the first time during the lunch rush. Since I work downtown, our work group loves to go to the tunnel and try new things! We walked towards the Understory area and found this place! It seemed like healthier lunch options so I tried the Vegan one and didn't sub anything because I wanted to try their bowl how it was intended to be eaten. One note- As a person who grew up vegetarian, I never liked imitation meet for ex: plant based nuggets I never tried before but never had the urge to try. The bill came out to be $15.00 without tip- I really didn't enjoy the taste of the bowl, It was definitely healthy but tasted bland even with the sauce they gave it with. It might taste better with other substitutes.

    Farro is located at the Understory food court in the Bank of America building. I'd never really paid attention to this place in the past, but a coworker mentioned it so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a BYO Grains bowl through the app Ritual and was able to step away from my desk at work to run downstairs and pick it up quickly. They prepared my meal in a timely manner, and it was DELICIOUS! The portions are generous - I barely got through half my bowl and had to save it for later (and I eat a lot LOL). I chose the Thai chili dressing for my bowl (pictured), and for all the various veggies and the chicken I added, it was well worth the price. If you're looking for something healthy, filling, and tasty, check this place out! I know I'll be back.

    Part of Understory set up across from Flippin Patties this build a bowl or wrap presents many different unique toppings, raw & marinated options. They have some good flavors on the marinated vegetables, I added the dill cucumber and the curry cauliflower to my salad which gave the flavor a little pop. Topped it withe a piece of salmon. The only thing I would like is to have them mix the salad, not a fan having everything sectioned and the bowl not really big enough to mix ourselves. I ended up eating all the toppings and really never got to the salad part by the time I was full.

    Great option for a healthy build your own bowl lunch! Fresh ingredients and great flavors. I love the curried cauliflowers and the seasoned Brussels sprouts. The lemon dressing to top it all off just gives a fresh and tasty healthy option for my lunch!

    Mediterranean Bowl (one of the pre-fix options)

    Farro Healthy Power Bowl is just that -- Healthy and Powerful! This lunch spot is perfect for choosing something nutritious and delicious, all while suiting your taste perfectly. Since you can choose between building your own bowl or one of the pre-fixed options, it's really easy to cater towards what you're craving in the moment. I would suggest anything on a bed of Farro, and then load up on those veggies! You can't go wrong with any of the dressings, either. They have vegan nuggets, and I'm not even vegan and I love them! I also love the Baja bowl (pictured in one of my pictures), which satisfies my craving for a Chipotle bowl any day. If you're downtown Houston or within the vicinity for delivering, I HIGHLY suggest you try out Farro!

    Went here two days in a row when I was in town. Food was fresh and delicious, portions were great and the service was efficient and helpful. It's in a cool spot that has WiFi and tons of work space.

    For those of you that want a healthier meal option Farro is the place for you. With different options for both wraps and power bowls, you'll feel full and recharged in no time. Although I'm not vegan, I suggest their vegan bowl. They have a nice balance of veggies and their balsamic sauce is LIFE. Cheers folks!

They had the same menu items and I noticed the prices increased since I last been. The cashier was a bit timid, he talked so low but he was as helpful as he could be. The ambiance is exactly the same. It's intimate and small, cool for a private or solo outing. I would say the music was up a bit louder than expected but it was cool. Now shall we????? The food. Cali ($13) : 4/10 - simply put. No flavor. Fried well though. Not the same. Lil Red BBQ ($12) - 8/10 - The jackfruit could've been seasoned more but the texture was great. My girlfriend liked how soft the bread was also. The BBQ was also good. Notyo Salad ($13) -8.5/10 - This was the most consistent item on the menu. The only thing I can say about it was that it needed more sauce to cover the amount of arugula and micro greens that came on it. But y'all ITS FLAVORFUL. The lime flavor with the avocado. It's MUAAAAHHHHH :* Sweet Potato Fries ($3/each) - 8.5/10 - Fried well. Good portion for price. Left us feeling light. My rating... this is an affordable and great health spot. If you're paying attention they inform people about their needs, ingredients included in the meals, and what the benefits are. If you are new to vegan food this is a great start.

They then told me it would take less than 15 minutes to prepare it. I agreed. However it took half an hour. So far, I have tried their soulberger, nori rolls, raw cheesecake, and rawritto. They were good but not so great for me to dive an hour from my home to their place.

The bathroom area was atrocious and smelled that way too. Service was was A1, the guy taking our order was also cooking so for him to had been busy and taking orders, the smile he gave was reassuring he could handle himself. He also made sure he gave me the biggest piece of cake Shoutout to him for that!!!! Now what y'all are really waiting for.... The food review. We ordered: Shroom Tacos (3) - 8.5/10 because they skimpy. It came with chopped white onions and limes on the side. The problem was there was an upcharge for oyster mushrooms but wasn't filled up with the mushrooms. I shouldn't bite into a taco and end up with just tortilla. And the limes were dry. However, the flavor of the tacos were A1. Chicken Chikn Alfredo sub Oyster Mushrooms- 7.5/10 because NO EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR. It was INSIPID. However, the noodles were cooked well, sauce was saucin' and they didn't skimp on the mushrooms in this dish. BUT they could've gave more pasta as a whole, it really wasn't much in there. Philly Steak Sub sub Oyster Mushrooms with KORNY SAUCE- 7/10. It lacked flavor AND there was barely enough mushrooms for how big the sandwich bread was. There was plenty onions and peppers which were cooked well but that's not what we were looking forward to. In addition, we couldn't even tell whether there was KORNY sauce added to it or not. Cookies and Cream Milkshake- 7/10. It was pretty good. Nothing special. Had a good consistency and flavor. German Chocolate Cake- 5.5/10. The cake itself was cooked well and really good. The icing which was coconut and something else wasn't very appetizing or appealing nor was it sweet. It was cold but we prefer our cakes room temperature. Overall, we would go back for the shroom tacos and probably try something else. They did have a very extensive menu. So I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others to try for themselves.

    We had passed by this place a few times and finally decided to give it a try. I almost let the Yelp…read morereviews discourage me, but as someone who enjoys sharing honest feedback, I wanted to experience it for myself. I'm visiting from Florida on a work trip, so I'll keep it brief. The interior could use some updated furniture, but honestly, it didn't take away from the experience. The AC worked well, and it was comfortable inside. The concrete floors might come across as "unfinished" or even dirty at first glance, but it felt more like part of the place's hip, industrial vibe. It's an older building with plenty of character. The person who took our order was very friendly and offered great recommendations. We tried the steak tacos, okra bites, and taquitos and everything was absolutely delicious. Don't let the negative reviews steer you away. We're glad we gave it a shot, it was definitely worth it!!!!

I have no negative comments on the food whatsoever. The facility is a little dated, however the quality and quantity of what arrives from that kitchen brings you back home. I will definitely be making this a home of mine in my search of Vegan cooking in the area. Please forgive me for almost leaving out the sauce that compliments pretty much anything they cook.

Service was great here. Overall, I just love this place. It makes me smile, and I will be very sad to see it go.
