We stopped here on our journey from coast to coast. This place is very vegan and GF friendly, something I was worried about finding in MT. The bigger bowl is super filling and lasted me for both lunch and dinner. Getting through line was fast and they were very helpful explaining everything. Also, talk about a flavor explosion! Everything tasted amazing and I didn't feel heavy or gross like you would eating at a lot of the other options around town. Healthy, taste, inexpensive! Doesn't get much better in my opinion read more

We were strolling through downtown Missoula a few days ago (Wednesday, to be precise) and decided that we'd try this place. It's sort of like Brazil meets Chipotle (it's food bowls). It looked nice and since we got to pick the fixings, I could be sure of getting healthy gluten-free options. We both ordered basically the same thing. Except, BF got the cheesy roll. You pick five things (thus, I gather, the name). 1. base. I got brown rice/greens. BF got white rice/greens. 2. protein. They had a special rosted pork, so we both got that. 3. side. Both got picked collard greens. 4. sauce. We both opted for the spicy coconut. 5. topping. We also chose the farofa (toasted cassava flour mixture that's gluten-free (whee)) and some chimichurri. I was expecting FLAVOR since this was Brazilian food. It tasted just...well...okay. Most of the flavor came from the sauce. Everything else was a conveyance. BF didn't finish his lunch (which is an abboration). It was meh. They had awesome Tractor Beverage Co. (organic craft fountain drinks). BF had root beer and mine was the creme soda with other fancy delicious flavors mixed in. read more

This is a good place to go - we are from out of town, it's a local chipotle (which is nice to not have to hit a chain but with allergies you have to be careful). Love the option of the two bowl sizes. I had chicken, Brown rice and black bean with the BBQ and tomato and cilantro Two others in our group got pork, it was ok. One got beef she liked it with the coconut sauce. Super cute place. Servers very nice! read more

Really enjoyed the bowls here. My husband used to study abroad and was obsessed with their puffy little cheese balls. We got them by the bag because they are so good. This is also the first time that my hubby had something with coconut milk in it and loved it. Great flavors and good feelings. We were on vacation and been eating so much greasy food that this place was our saving grace. They follow covid guidelines but still had some outdoor seating. I would love to try all of their bowls. read more

Driving through, checked Yelp and Five on Black had an interesting menu, we were intrigued so we stopped. Some reviews complained that the food was bland so, I tried made choices that would add flavor. I chose: the Spring salad base, tilapia protein. With spicy coconut sauce. With the toppings of: tomato vinaigrette, Spicy chimichurri and cilantro. The coconut sauce and the spicy chimichurri added great flavor I loved the meal. I chose a small bowl that was perfect size to not leaving me overly full. Service was great as the explained the different choices. I loved the interior, it was fun and a great design! I would definitely come back if I'm the area. read more

Yes! Wanted a protein/veggie dinner, this hit the spot. Think Brazilian poke bowls: base of rice, greens, or mixed, add steak, chicken, fish, or other protein choice, then add side (sweet potatoes were awesome), and finally add sauces and toppings! Yum! We all ended up with something different and all enjoyed them! Wish we had one at home. read more

So good. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful made a great recommendation and loved my bowl. Very tasty with loud flavors love it. Would be a regular if I was a local for sure Highly recommend read more

Amazing food, the flavors were delicious and I love the building your own bowl aspect

We ordered from Five on Black during our trip to Missoula. We tried the Brazilian bowl with chicken and vegetables, which we favored over the Brazilian stew with fish and vegetables. These bowls are packed and nutrient dense. The Brazilian bread was okay but one of the balls was dry and hard. You can see in the photo that it's brown vs the yellow one. The other was soft and tasty. Based on our experience, I suggest the Brazilian bowl with chicken. read more

Great quality food, fun loud atmosphere! Was our first visit and they offered us great suggestions. Combo chick/steak with collards and spicy coconut was a winner! We'll be back for sure. read more

The delivery menu was compact without beverages or desserts. Basically, a bowl - albeit delicious - with brown rice, chicken, cilantro, etc and some very cold "biscuits" for lack of better term. Why a 3? I can't give more because of the inconvenience and inconsideration of not including utensils (even plastic would have sufficed) and napkins. Had to get some from the dining room at the hotel plus a coke! The driver was on time. No issue there. Come on, think about who your delivery food to. read more

The BEST delicious and fast Brazilian food!! must try the coconut sauce with sweet potatoes, chicken or beef or roasted veggies and try all toppings and a cheesy bun! read more

Quick spot, I had a rice dish with tofu, collard greens, chimichurra and coconut sauce. I would recommend asking for less sauce as they really pour it on there. read more

Super-fresh, very filling. Loved the sweet potatoes - they had good form but were super easy to smash around a little. So I mixed some of the potatoes with other ingredients and popped the rest in my mouth. The restaurant is cozy but really clean and everyone behind the counter had energy and smiles. Good vibes, fast lunch, tasty food.....what else could I ask for with the 20 min I had to spend on a quick bite to eat? Oh - and the Brazilian buns - easy to savor with that warm cheese bite in the middle. As for other reviewers commenting on the bland taste - they might be creating their own bowls missing key flavors - if you want to go with one of the suggestions that suits you, it will have flavor, guaranteed. Plus - add some of the extra spice they have available on the side or at the tables. Even a teeny splash might help if you've picked a combo that isn't hitting that flavor note you wanted. And last but certainly not least....ask an employee! They're good about combining what you say you want vs. what the bowl will actually taste like. read more

It's like Chipotle, but better. But Chipotle is also really good. Loved their cheese-bread and organic sodas!

Excellent vegetarian rice bowls with choice of protein,...sauce and side, very tasty and filling too..

I was in town for a night and saw good reviews on this one. This place did not disappoint me at all. I took the stew with white rice and spicy coconut and each of us ordered different proteins like fish and chicken. Lovely food, nice trance music allows you to enjoy the food and I would say must visit for this place. read more

Fresh wholesome food bowls customized by you. Layer five items for a satisfying meal. I got the small bowl of greens and rice, chicken, black beans, with mango BBQ sauce topped with cilantro, tomato and green pepper salsa with a lime slice, while it was plenty to fill me, I wanted more because it was so tasty. Outdoor seating on shady side of the street was perfect for an75 degree evening. Will return to try the coconut sauce with other selections. read more

This restaurant is located in a college town and is a very popular place for lunch. We came just right before the lunch crowd hit and didn't have to wait in line. You have the option of a small bowl for $6 or large for $8. The small was plenty of food for me. Ordering is easy in just 5 steps. I ordered white rice, roasted veggies, coconut sweet potatoes, spicy coconut sauce topped with chunky tomato vinaigrette, spicy chimichurri and cilantro. It was fresh, healthy and delicious! There's both indoor and outdoor seating available. We were able to find street parking right across the street. read more

First time we tried it and it was amazing. It's so nice to fish as an option that's fresh on the menu. That's also quick and healthy.. I got the rice bowl with white rice, lemon roasted tilapia, roasted veggies, coconut roasted sweet potatoes, spicy coconut sauce, on top and cilantro. Delicious. There soda options are awesome too. read more

GREAT food! Highly recommend the tofu and spicy coconut sauce. A little expensive for portion size, but worth it in my book!

It's pretty simple to order walk inside look at the wall and order in 3 steps I made it easier I ordered the Brazilian stew which was under $10 and filled me up everything is served in a bowl. Parking is paid street parking but is really cheap and seating on a busy night may be a problem because only a couple seats indoor but there's a few seats out front. The foods good,fast and under $10. read more

It's okay food. Maybe it's my personal taste, but it's a lot of rice in the large bowl. The sauces are good. The pan de queijo is not fluffy as it should be when it's warm, but if you are hungry, it's fine. read more

The food is divine! You can't go wrong with the dishes at this restaurant. The food is healthy and filling. I always get two meals out of a large bowl. The restaurant is best for a quick pick up and take home dish, however, employees are quick and kind. read more

Amazing place! I wish they still had a location in Denver. I really appreciate that everything but one item is dairy free. Staff was very friendly. read more

The quality of the food is superb. Healthy options all around. I'm hopeful we will get a location in the Flathead Valley. Highly recommend. Excellent service as well. read more

Caught this place at this "food truck" type deal in Caras Park. Being adventurous, I tried out the feijoada which apparently is the national stew of Brazil. I'd like to be able to tell you exactly what it is but I really don't know. It has rice and coconut and a lot of spice. I really liked the sweet potatoes with the stew. I've always been a fan of Brazilian soccer and now I can say I'm a fan of their food as well. Always bet on black. read more

Lovely stop for lunch as we passed through town. We were so happy to find some clean healthy food on on our way home after a weeklong roadtrip. We both had the curry sauce which was the perfect mix of spicy and creamy but still light. I had the tilapia and he had the beef. Both were really good but we regretted not trying the chicken after we saw that it was homemade rotisserie chicken. The veggie and toppings options were also bomb. We both had regular size bowls and couldn't finish. Combined them and are saving it for later. A small would've been fine if we hadn't been so excited to eat some clean food! Definitely would recommend this spot to anyone passing through! read more

Absolutely outstanding. This was my first time trying this kind of food. I got the brown rice with tilapia and spicy coconut sauce along with some sweet potato and some fresh herbs and garnish on top. It was so refreshing and delicious. The small bowl was the perfect size to fill me up but not put me into a food coma. I would very highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. I really wish they would start one in Seattle. I'm sure it will be a huge success. read more

For the price, the food was pretty good! And seemed like a relatively healthy lunch choice. Granted, I came here with a Brazilian who was able to point out that it's pretty much like Chipotle but with a Brazilian twist. For example, the "Brazilian black beans" side is just generic black beans. The chicken and beef are not actually BBQ (but are pulled chicken and steak cubes). The pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) was really delicious and soft/savory! So solid 4 because for the low price you get a very filling and healthy lunch. Advice to the restaurant - they should consider lowering the volume of their music, was really hard to hear and communicate with the staff which made things slower/more difficult. I witnessed one staff member giving a customer the wrong portion of rice as a result. With masks it's much harder to hear each other! (Great job to the staff for wearing their masks.) read more

Argentinian take on the Poke Bowls! Great!!! Argentina stew, on brown rice, Chimmichuri cilantro, plus more flavors. Loved it!

Food was bursting w/ flavor. Brazilian food, never thought I'd try something like this but I'm a regular now. Great experience clean in both locations. Speedy service. read more

The only reason for the decent ratings has to be due to the lack of quality food available in Missoula. I ordered a bowl and everything was piled on and I couldn't tell what was what. There was no flavor. No fresh taste. Bland pile of gunk in a bowl. The employees looked like they didn't care about anything. Sad. Didn't this place just open recently? read more

Fun clean spot for a late dinner. Great modern farm style decor. Excellent veggie selection, vegan if ya wanna. Sin spice for kids and muchas spice for adults. Service was quick and the menu was easy to read. I think it would be best do make is super sloppy and with loads of sauce. But I went with just a bit of the sauce, maybe I regret that move, but whatevs. The fun fountain drinks are pretty tasty. Kids really liked the root beer option. Would def stop by again! read more

Great flavors, music, and tasty. Friendly staff. Definitely a unique find. Hope to visit again.

My first visit to Missoula and my first Brazilian bowl ever. It was quite tasty - didn't disappoint! I got white rice, chicken, and sweet potato with curry sauce, cilantro and a lime wedge. As well as a yummy little cheese roll. A really fresh, flavourful and warm combo that filled my belly and was a very nice lunch. Definitely wouldn't be able to do the large bowl - I could almost not complete the small one! Give em a try when you run across Five On Black! You won't be sorry. read more
