It might be easy to miss this place, as it’s down the stairs at Larimer Square. If you’re looking for a delicious healthy vegetarian/vegan bowl for lunch, this is the place! Great service and very fair prices make this place perfect. Enjoy!

This place is brilliant! They have several bowls on the menu representing different ethnic inspired bowls (Mexican, Californian, Asian, etc.) and the option to make your own with a choice of a base (brown or white rice, noodles, salad, etc.), protein (meat, raw fish, shrimp, chicken, tofu) and finally a wide assortment of toppings and dressings. All items are fresh, translating to a healthy and delicious meal. I can’t wait to return!

I placed an order for pickup at Bubu this morning. After we picked up, they called to tell us they did not give us the complete order but could deliver it. After giving them my address, I waited for the delivery. 2.5 hours later and no delivery I called them. They answered, asked to me on hold once I mentioned who I was and then instead hung up on me. Upon calling again multiple times, no one answered. All I was looking for was a refund for the lunch I never received, but overall the entire experience has been underwhelming. Things happen, but I expect the team to at least be professional about it.

I have been a big fan of Bubu’s for some time, used to be 2-3x a week Republic regular, and have been missing it since working a bit further out from downtown. Finally got to hit up the Larimer Square spot for the first time today though after months of craving it! Bubu gets right what so many places get wrong. First, there is no fear of flavor here. Not only do all of their bowls come packed with it, there are so many options here that it’s just hard to go wrong. And yet, the menu doesn’t go nuts. It’s simple while still allowing for plenty of choices. My favorites include the Thai (with added kimchi) and Mexican bowls both with a half salad/brown rice mix and chicken. You can’t go wrong with these! Second, the price. Bubu is a rare place these days that gets value right. They’re not overvaluing their outstanding product: you’re getting a full and fresh lunch for $10-12. That seems to be a rarity these days where every sandwich you come across is $12-15 and doesn’t approach what comes in these bowls. I only wish this place was open more days and beyond lunch. I look forward to finding more ways to make it back often.

Variety of well designed ‘bowls’ with a couple of basic options like white or brown rice and protein. Personal favourite is their Thai Bowl with chicken and brown rice, ready in 10min or less.

Super disappointed in Bubu Ordered from Uber Eats. Spent $40.00 for 1 spring roll, cost $9.00 which came in a cup. Loose wrap, old lettuce. Also ordered a bowl with steak. Steak was not fresh and I couldn’t finish the bowl. I tried calling and no answer. No doubt you can improve here.

Great, delicious, fresh bowls with a unique taste compared to most other restaurants of this type. Ducked in during the chalk festival because all the vendors lines were so long, what a find! The staff was very friendly and helpful since it was our first time in and overall just an amazing experience for a reasonable price. Will definitely be back

It’s convenient. I went here a few year ago between classes. It was ok. Not particularly tasty or flavorful. I didn’t think the meat tasted quite right. It is really convenient and healthy. Went again this week, same thing. Good service overall

I liked the options for customization in addition to the pre-set bowls if you didn’t want to get creative. Staff was very friendly & patient while I “crafted” my selections. Communal seating mostly so if you’re not into that, there’s limited options. But nice environment – busy lunch spot.
