WOW!!! This bowl is AMAZING! My noodle bowl is vinegary, tangy, crunchy, and full of flavor!! And super healthy. I wasn’t expecting much after seeing the small amount of topping options but I am blown away. I wish this was on Capitol Hill so I can eat it everyday! The staff was also super nice and helpful since it was my first time.

Really tasty! A healthy, reasonably priced quick bite—and not one you’ll likely find anywhere else.It’s the first time I’ve seen southeast Asian food (and especially Burmese food) get the “Chipotle treatment,” and it turned out quite well. I ordered the curried chickpea salad with all the fixings (pictured below); needless to say it was well-seasoned and flavorful.Also—the staff were super kind. Will likely go again!

OMG, way more tasteful than I expected. After sightseeing Georgetown, I was seeking something healthy and light to grub on. Luckily traffic was low so customer service was speedy and friendly. Limited seating upstairs available. Food was really good. Portion size was fulfilling.
Parking: Parking decks located throughout shopping district. Limited on street parking available.
Wheelchair accessibility: This place is not ADA accessible. Stairs at entrance and to dinning loft.

What a cute little salad place in the heart of Georgetown. It’s a smallBurmese salad place. The salad was so flavorful. They have a rice noodle which is a great gluten free option.

One of my favorite light lunchbox in DC. They basically have a do it yourself rice, noodle, and or salad bowl with a south east Asian flair. A.k.a. dressings are more fish sauce and acid-based which is delicious and refreshing but still flavorful. The first time I visited I believe it was one of the owners who was working the front so there was a bit more love in the salad than my recent visit but the employee helping me this time was still really friendly. The chicken salad is always a winner and you can choose how spicy you want it. They also have an array of vegan dressings and different protein options or even a chickpea curry if you are looking different. The star of my visit this time was the butter semolina Cake. This thing was so soft and creamy with a warm fatty syrup soaked throughout. And the nuttiness and slight texture from the semolina really works in this cake. An extremely decadent way to finish and otherwise light meal

Got the shrimp noodle bowl from here and it was so delicious! Service was amazing and the staff was so attentive! Will definitely be coming here again :) They’re prices are really affordable (especially for this area) and seems like business has been a little slow for them so hoping more people will stop by and give them a try! #supportsmallbusiness

It’s a good thing it’s not near me, I’d probably eat here 4 times a week. I usually get shrimp as my protein—it’s high-quality.As others have mentioned the staff is lovely, store is clean, and the food is so tasty. I always leave feeling full, satisfied, and healthy!

Came to Bandoola Bowl this weekend when we stopped in G’town. AMAZING! Food was fantastic. Staff was great. Can’t wait to come back.
Great take on a Asian fusion bowl. The spice level was also spot on. Incredibly friendly staff and atmosphere is also great. The warm bowl could have been a little more warm.

This was one of my favorite bowl places ever!!!!! The food is scrumptious - so well flavored, refreshing, and filling. There are lots of options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The staff was also incredible. They walked us through the menu since it was our first time, and even gave us samples to taste so we could decide on what to order. I don’t live in DC, but every time I come back, I will definitely be coming to Bandoola!!

We really enjoyed our experience at Bandoola Bowl. The employees were so kind and helpful and since it was our first time they helped us chose our salads and dressings. I am a huge salad lover and these salads have plenty of elements and toppings. Wonderful flavors and a cute place for a date. We hope to come back again!

Healthy & flavorful salad bowls! Few chairs & table for outdoor sitting as well.No wonder it has a 5 star rating. I can eat it for lunch 5 days a week?

Me, ordering to-go: How does this place have a perfect five-star rating?(After a detailed walkthrough from the manager of her entire menu, including multiple samplings, discussion of best spice combinations, customization of every ingredient option, and background on Burmese flavors and tradition later, followed by bountiful spicy chicken salad bowl lunch)Yep, that explains the perfect five-star rating!
