Yummy protein bowls! Server was young and polite! Little expensive. 2 bowls and a water was over $40.00 but they were a decent size portion.

Bowl me up is delicious and the quality of the food is great. I’ve always gotten a nice amount of chicken and ingredients when I visited there. Today was different, the worker there today definitely did not put as much chicken at all and the same went for my daughter’s bowl. He put about half of what I usually get. When paying $21 dollars for a bowl you would think a good amount of chicken would be added. Very disappointed. Again the quality of the food is amazing but when paying this much for a bowl of food I should be able to get chicken on every bite.

Response from the owner

Thanks for your compliment about our food!! I am sorry for your experience today . Please reach out to the store and ask for the owner Nas! Not sure who served you and what went wrong but it’s our job to give you what you pay for. We would like to make things right. Thank you

I was bowled over by Bowl me up!! Food was so fresh and delicious and the guacamole was the best I ever had. My bowl was overflowing and I could definitely make another meal out of it! My husband had the wrap and he was quite impressed. Will definitely order from them again. Also, our Uber driver was prompt and courteous! A great experience all around!

BOWL ME UP excels in creating a welcoming environment with very good service and atmosphere. The staff is attentive, friendly, and clearly committed to providing a positive customer experience. They're efficient at processing orders and make you feel valued as a customer. The atmosphere is inviting and pleasant, making it an enjoyable place to grab a meal or hang out with friends.<br>The restaurant has clearly invested in creating a comfortable dining space that encourages customers to relax and enjoy their time there. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeout, the overall vibe is upbeat and positive. The combination of good service and pleasant surroundings makes this a place where you'd want to return.<br>However, the food itself is just average and doesn't quite match the quality of the service and setting. While the bowls are edible and will satisfy basic hunger, they lack the flavor, freshness, or creativity that would make them truly memorable or worth seeking out specifically. The ingredients are acceptable but nothing special, and the overall taste profile is middle-of-the-road.<br>BOWL ME UP is worth visiting if you value atmosphere and service highly and don't mind that the food is just okay. It's a pleasant place to spend time, but don't expect the food to be the star of the show. Better for the experience than the cuisine itself.

This is the best salad bar i have been to hands down! The hospitality from the owner is one of a kind. All of the ingredients are fresh. You have to get your hands on their pita chips too! 10/10 spot will definitely be coming back.

They sent me a promotional email-buy 1 chicken bowl and get one free.I tried using it the app and on the website,but it didn’t work.So I called them and they couldn’t help me with it.And when I came in person the employee told me the promotion ended at 5:30.However there were no details regarding time limit on the promo.Highly disappointed.No client orientation.I don’t recommend this food place. PS. I decided to order take out today again and your team helped me out by providing a discount, which I was not able to use the last time.

Response from the owner

Hi Aysel— sorry for the confusion and for the trouble you had using the promo. There was a temporary system issue that prevented the code from applying directly, and we understand how frustrating that is— especially if the email didn’t say the cut off time. We are updating our promo messaging to make this clearer going forward. If you are open to it, please contact us directly, call the store and ask for the owner and we will make it right. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Happy holidays

Bowl Me Up is a hidden gem. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. You can really tell they use quality ingredients, and the bowls are both healthy and filling. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. Great vibes, great food, and a spot I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a clean, delicious meal that actually satisfies.

Really great bowls! Loved that they had lots of protein and grain options. Sweet potato and corn were amazing

One of the best bowls I ever had! I got the Mexican bowl with Peruvian Aji Dressing inside and guacamole on the side that paired extremely well. I came back from college and ordered through their app on my way back home, the app was efficient, easy to use and there were even promos! My order also came extremely fast, good for getting food quickly before work. Highly recommend.

Everything about my visit was absolutely perfect! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared especially the Asian Steak Bowl, which was delicious and worth every penny. The atmosphere was so welcoming and relaxing, and the workers were incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel right at home.<br>I truly appreciated how friendly everyone was and how smoothly everything went from start to finish. You can tell they really care about their customers. Definitely one of my new favorite spots I'll be coming back soon!

Great to have a healthy option on the island, especially for a quick post workout meal. We got bowls, the protein cookie, and the pita chips. Everything was amazing. Love all of the healthy options I could choose from to fit my lifestyle. The star was great. The owners were there and they were so kind to us. Definitely recommend

Got myself a little BOWL ME UP!!! I’ve said this before, Staten Island does not have a great salad/healthy bowl spot. Now it does!! I got the Greek with a little Peruvian Aji Dressing. It was very good!<br><br>Staff is very friendly and respectful! The place has a great vibe. I’ll definitely give this place another try as it has so many options!<br><br>Overall - Excellent!!

Response from the owner

Thank you Mr Cobaj, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed it. :)

Oh my god. Let me tell you, I recently tried Bowl Me Up and had an amazing experience! I got the Asian in a wrap, and it was absolutely delicious—so flavorful and satisfying! The ingredients were fresh, and the combination of flavors really hit the spot. The employees were super friendly, making the whole experience even better. The vibe of the place is laid-back and welcoming, making it a great spot to grab a healthy and tasty meal. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!<br><br>Also we tried the Teriyaki and the pita chips it was PERFECT! I could eat so many of those pita chips - they were absolutely nuts. Such an amazing spot.

Sam you couldn’t have said it any better. You were a pleasure to have. Thank you

I order a bowl for my wife and I via uber eats. We were obsessed with the freshness, taste, and portions. We got a Mexican bowl with the Peruvian Ají, and a Grains bowl with green goddess vinaigrette. Both were amazingly tasty! We can’t wait to try all their other bowl options.<br><br>Also, the delivery came in such a cool box. It felt like it was an exclusive order. The attention to detail is spot on.<br><br>P.S- I hope you guys open a location on the north shore. Please and thank you :).

Response from the owner

Jose, this means so much. Thank you and glad you guys enjoyed them. North shore is definitely an option. Hopefully soon. We appreciate your Buisness 🤝😄

Such great food and great service. The owner bought us some free pita chips for waiting, and the only wait is because everything is made fresh. The food is delicious, and such a great option in the neighborhood. Will be back!
