Rolls-n-Bowls

Good food, good prices, and good friendly service. We will be back!

I waited way too long to try Rolls n' Bowls (originally thought the place was a head shop due to its name).  It was fantastic.  I was a banh mi virgin so I really can't compare it to other restaurants, but I was blown away.  Delicious and fresh-tasting ingredients in a large portion for less than 4 dollars.  I loved the competing flavors in my sandwich, fresh crunchy pickled vegetables and meat that didn't overwhelm.  While the pate was new for me, the banh mi overall was definitely a win.  My dining companion had the vermicelli and he was very pleased, particularly with the flavor of the shrimp.  We started with some butterfly shrimp (served with a better quality sweet & sour sauce) and it was good, but I wouldn't call it a must.  I highly recommend the boba tea.  To a newcomer it's what Frappucinos only dream they could be, and slightly cheaper too.  The honeydew and the taro flavors were both phenomenal.  Service was good and the dining room was very clean and spacious, if kitschy.  I wish I'd discovered this place when I lived nearby, but will definitely visit again.

I am in love with this place. I eat there way more often than I should. I usually either get one of the Bun Bowls or their Lemongrass Beef as my main dish. YUMMY! They also have great spring rolls and the cabbage salad appetizer is so much better than you would ever expect. (Cabbage salad just doesn't sound appetizing to me, but theirs is great.) I have eaten the Bahn Mi sandwich (only $4 for a 5 -6 inch sandwich on a french baguette) and it was very good but has pate on it, I'm not a huge fan of pate.

The atmosphere is not impressive. Cheap tables and chairs and bright lighting. Not a place you would take a first date. But the food makes it worth everything.

I recommend you give this place a try.
