Best WLM Reviews
Stopped by the Western Market on my way home. I wasn’t sure what to eat. There are many good options. I wanted to try a new place.
I walked past Bandoola Bowl and it looked fresh. I’m glad I tried this place finally, it’s one of the best options in Western Market. The vegetables are plenty and the shrimp I had was very good and fresh. They made it to exactly the spice level I was looking for on a chilly day; just enough to make my noise run but not enough to over power the food flavors.
The staff were very friendly and helpful as I was asking questions before choosing the brown rice bowl w/ shrimp.
I will return here quickly for more delicious bowls.
Thank you.
I don't usually write restaurant reviews. But Bandoola deserves the praise. My favorite is the Spicy Pork Noodle Bowl. It is a handsome amount of perfectly seasoned pork. The sauces, spices and herbs are a harmonious blend of southeast flavors. The food is reason alone to return to this little stall, but the customer service is amazing! The man who greets you is always happy and eager to make suggestions based on your preferences. He has also helped our fundraising efforts at the law school.
Whether you are just stopping by or looking for a regular spot, come by this little stall that packs a big punch!
Made to order bowls, I really enjoyed this the most at Western Market. Flavors were great (got the bandoola Burmese sauce), and they will ask for your level of spiciness. It was very filling even though it felt light due to the vegetables. Definitely would come again!
The papaya salad was so delicious and refreshing. We shared one and also got falafel sandwiches from the falafel place in Western, and it was the perfect combination! The bowls are quite big and filled with a variety of toppings.
The workers were enthusiastic, friendly, and efficient. The worker taking orders asked each pwrson about food allergies before beginning the prep. My food (spicy rice noodle bowl with chicken) was fantastic and a reasonably good value. It is a very sizable portion- a meal and a half. If I was a DC local, this would be a regular apot for me.
My first time there and i had the curry chickpea salad bowl. Best salad I've ever eaten, hands down. Customer service was above and beyond. They even asked if i had any allergies before adding ingredients. A+ overall experience!
Bandoola Bowl, located in Western Market, serves a quick meal alternative to the neighborhood’s chipotle and roti. A bowl’s $15 and full of spice. Takes them about 5 minutes to make - heavy on cabbage with a bit of meat (your choice of protein). I always get their noodle bowl, which is consistently tasty with a great warm balance to the room-temp vegetables. If in the mood for an Asian-spiced bowl, Bandoola is worth a visit.
This place is absolutely DELICIOUS. Totally fresh ingredients, build your own, great options, and completely satisfying. It is family owned, and the staff are so friendly and attentive. Don't miss this place!
