Bola

Restaurant

😐 It was not bad, though sadly some ingredients were... strange, like cheap wasabi nuts(?). Salmon also was okay-ish. Overall staff was very nice, but price and quality points away from this place. There is better places to eat in Downtown food hall and better bols in Vilnius. People often mention taste, bowl, ingredients, chicken, rice, time,

    Good taste journey, nice chicken, but I don't see myself coming back here more than once a month, for dinner maybe. The portion is far too big and in consequence expensive for lunch. A daily lunch offer would be better, and a bit of work on proportions of ingredients.

    Postives: - ingredients seem fresh - big portions Negatives (I tried the salmon bowl): - the taste spectrum is just strange. It's not enjoyable at all. The pickles taste meh, some other pickled vegetables have an off taste. That could be ignored but each ingredient does not play well with each other. There is a chance that I don't understand these flavours but I liked other bowl places in Vilnius.

    A huge serving of chicken bowl. Unusual combination (chicken, rice, coconut milk, marinated radish, melon, mushrooms, jalapeno and other uncecognized ingredients) but it was fresh and tasty. Moderately priced (7 eur)

    Great food! Something new to try. Some of the ingredients were canned but it does not ruin general taste. Great chicken! Well customer service, cozy, friendly staff. Had some difficulties to find empty parking spot at 6pm. Willing to come back!

    I have ordered from this place twice. First time the ingredients were missing (mushrooms & some rice puffs or something). I texted the restaurant and they said those rice puffs shouldn’t even be on the menu (so the menu was misleading). I did not understand why the bowl was so dry. Just a little sauce sprinkled on top of tofu (my order was tofu katsu curry bowl). Overall taste was good but I couldn’t finish due to being too dry. Then after couple weeks I decided to give another try and ordered from this place again. This time nori rice papers were missing! After trying the bowl for the second time I realized, that first time they also forgot to put the sauce!!! Because second time it was super delicious, not dry at all. Only ingredients missing AGAIN. I am very disappointed and will never order anything from this place again. It’s a shame, coz bowls there are one of my favorites. But the fact that I ordered 2 times, and both times were lacking ingredients is not excusable..

    Very taste, but there should more than one worker or he/she should check the counter more often. I waited 10 min for the worker to show up at the counter to order..Or have a bell!

    The food is overpriced compeared to what you get, while the service was really good the food that they make you isn't something that i would be happy for spending 10+ euros for some rice and chicken, but the one thing that does save it is the souce.

    I am your loyal customer and I love how you offer relatively healthy meal options. However, your rice became notably sweeter recently and most likely, because of sugar added to it. This is very sad, because I dont think putting taste enhancers without noticing the customer is appropriate.

    I have to confess that it wasn't good experience. You guys need to experiment with tofu a bit because what I was eating was tasteless product. I don't know if you were short on spices or too lazy to cut it to smaller pieces but it was very bad. Not mentioning 0.3 liter of water in the bowl..

    I was only able to eat the chicken (which had little taste) and batatas chips in my bowl. The ingridients didn’t fit together. At least kombucha bought in downtown was amazing!

    Food is just bad. Tofu is badly prepared. There is water in a bowl. There is no sauce In Bola downtown food hall

    I have ordered Bikini Season bowl and it looked fantastic, however the taste was disappointing. The chickpeas were covered in some sort spicy liquid, which also had soak into marinated ingredients. And there was not a single mention in the menu that this dish was spicy. I couldn't eat it.

    I ordered chicken Katsu bowl, the chicken was dry and burnt, radish was without any taste at all. Mushrooms had a very intense and weird taste, rice was salty, nori seaweed was old because it was not crunchy and lastly the curry sauce was disgusting 🤮. I want my money back.

😐 The staff was not friendly and seemed very unprofessional. I had to wait for at least 20 minutes before I placed my order, and the restaurant was not busy at all. Had to draw attention to myself to finally place an order. The food was mediocre, not worth the money. It was not served as described...
