The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff is super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. It’s my go-to place for a healthy and delicious meal. Highly recommend! More

Sometimes the food tastes like it's been sitting around for a while, but the flavors are still really good. This could be due to the time of day we eat (sometimes irregular hours), however we always leave satisfied and we keep coming back. … More

I recently ordered a poke bowl from this place and was extremely disappointed with my meal. The spicy tuna in my bowl was old and had a bad smell, which made me concerned about its safety and quality. Despite the decent rice and greens, there was nothing else in my bowl that was fresh. The toppings seemed like they had been sitting out for hours, and the overall quality of the meal was subpar. I won't be ordering from here again, and I can't recommend it to anyone looking for a good poke bowl experience.

If you want a sandwich you have to order at the counter next called the bowls. It’s confusing because the chicken sandwich I wanted was from katsu but the tablet to order only had the noodles. The bowls had the sandwich. It seems like the names switched which was confusing. I would definitely change that or fix it. Other than that, my sandwich was delicious .

I had the Malibu poke bowl and it was very refreshing. The tuna and vegetables I had were fresh. I would definitely recommend their poke bowls.

Their service and atmosphere was great.
My meals sauce had a weird aftertaste but most curious is the sweet potato seems to have gone straight from refrigerator to bowl as it was chilly.
The ingredients looked fresh in the bowl, but just bland flavor.
I think with a better sauce and heating up all the ingredients this could have been good.
Perhaps I was just unlucky but this was my experience.
I like the Tokyo meal idea, just lacked flavor.

I’ve stepped foot into here and the smell was horrendous I can’t believe such a store could smell like this and the service and they sure like to take their sweet time I’ve been hungry and I expected quick and fast service but I had gotten my food an hour later and they barely gave me any meat like 4 small pieces like what are they? Rationing out here I’m starving they could go down to one of the worst “the bowls” out there for having such sticky tables like they don’t clean.

Quality and quantity! This place and these flavors are top notch. I got the Malibu with tuna, as well as the egg rolls. It was all so great, including the fast, friendly staff.

I tried the bulgogi noodles and the flavor was definitely good, but there were a few downsides. The veggies were almost nonexistent—I could barely find any in my whole portion. The protein was also very limited. The beef is sliced so thin … More

This was the first business I ate at at Morgan St. Food Hall! My partner and I shared a Kona bowl and a Malibu bowl; both were uniquely delicious and very filling. The ingredients taste super fresh. I highly recommend trying them out and I look forward to trying other places in Morgan St. Food Hall!

Just like most of the places here at the Morgan st food hall, The Bowls is excellent. I had the Seoul bowl which contained Korean bbq beef, bulgogi, cabbage, onions, an egg, and what looked like purple quinoa or some other similar grain. … More

Ordered delivery and they entirely messed up half the order. We had ordered and sandwich and it was just straight up not in the bag. The bowl that we did receive didn’t taste very good at all, not fresh and a weird flavor, and the little rice pods sprinkled all over it added an unpleasant styrofoam texture.

I enjoyed the Seoul bowl. Very flavorful.
I would’ve enjoyed my egg fried on both sides. I think I’d request this in the future. Overall, a great choice. More

Located inside the Morgan Street Food Hall—busy and lively. Service is good. The poke bowls are tasty with choice of salads or rice as main base. Protein choices without variable charge. Bowls are small compared to price. More

Loved this place. The lady who took my order was very nice. I love that they give you a buzzer for when your order is ready instead of us having to listen for an order number. I got the Seoul rice bowl, it was great. My daughter got the Teriyaki chicken noodle bowl and she liked it. More

The food tastes good however for a $15 bowl they are EXTREMELY stingy with the protein. I got a Malibu bowl with spicy tuna and they gave me a very small 1 scoop of spicy tuna. I also asked for sriracha which I don’t taste or see in the bowl either. Without more protein what exactly am I paying $15 for? More

I got the California Chicken Sandwich which comes with homemade chips. The flavor of the sandwich was great and the chicken was crispy. My only notes are I didn’t like the whole sprig of cilantro and the chips needed some seasoning. Otherwise it was great! More
