WELA

I almost walked out. I'll tell you why.

After an intense morning workout, I needed a great lunch and was not planning on trying a new place, as I did not want to risk a crappy fast break. You don't wanna see me hungry, trust me. On my way to my usual favourite poke place, I just kinda popped into this place. I was the only customer and the place was very quiet. So, I thought maybe another time, but the attendant welcomed me with a warm smile and her energy and demeanor had me looking at their menu.

I decided on the Bangkok Bowl with added steak. Here's what made it great and what will have me coming back.

They grill the steak right in front of you....so you know it's fresh and it tasted like it. Also, the added charge for the steak is justified as they are generous and give you what you pay for.

The veggies were all fresh and even the brown rice was alive. "Alive" meaning it's not rice that's been sitting there on the counter and then refrigerated for a week.

Another thing I noticed was the amount of dressing tossed in was just perfect. Not overloading and not lacking....just the right amount. Have you ever had salad swimming in sauce? You don't have to worry about that here.

With all the competition around them their price point is decent and reasonable. Will be back.

I prefer something healthy for breakfast. It was a 15 minute walk from the hotel I was staying at, but I thought it was perfect for my lack of exercise. The cheerful staff greets me inside the store and is very friendly. The staff kindly gave advice on the menu. I chose an Avocado Wrap and a Green Colada. Green Colada was a very refreshing smoothie, Cleanser & Immune Booster drink and the Avocado Wrap was mashed chickpea and avocado, baby spinach, chili flakes, spinach tortilla wrap, lightly seasoned and easy to eat. My breakfast was just green,, loll
Looks like my day will be happy! Thanks!
I will come again

Good healthy food that's priced right. However, not much in the amount of food. Friendly service, clean shop, clean restroom. Limited seating. Would eat here again if I'm not too hungry and want something healthy.

Finally remembered to drop in at lunch to try this place out, was not disappointed! Always a huge soft spot for anyplace that has loads of Vegetarian options.

Very friendly staff, helpful with my ordering experience when I told them it was my first time there. I opted for the straight up Bangkok Bowl with no extras just to taste the meals true foundation. This was a great choice, the mix of fresh veggies (Romaine, Cucumber, Peppers, Cabbage, shred Carrot) and Brown Rice was very appetizing. Could not get enough of the delicious Peanut dressing, what a perfect complement, could likely drink half a litre if challenged to do so. There were Chickpeas for protein but next time I will likely add Tofu because (my only minor complaint) was that the serving size wasn't large enough for my constant hunger!

Sat at the high top table facing outside to eat my food. There was a little plant that was dead AF next to me, made me wonder why it wasn't thrown out or better taken care of. I'm excited to go back and try another bowl, I'm thinking I'll go for the Green Curry.

A new healthy restaurant in downtown Vancouver! This is their second location (first in North Vancouver) and today was their grand opening. I got to try some smoothie samplers and spun the wheel for a prize. Got a free premium topping so decided to pop inside to grab a bowl for lunch.

There are a ton of options and you can make your own bowl or wrap. I decided to go for the Bangkok Bowl with steak as my topping. It came out to be $14.65. The bowl was delicious and the dressing is super tasty. Good amount of food. Steak was a little dry though.

It's a healthy place to eat which I like, hard to come by in this day and age. My favourite bowl is the green curry, I normally substitute the tofu for the chicken. There's also a wide selection of smoothies. The location on Howe St has limited seating available but has a nice vibe inside and the staff are friendly. There's also a location at Lonsdale Quay market.
