13 Jul 2023, dinner take out. Had a salad bowl, loaded with different kinds of veggies and chickpeas, $15 final. The main ingredient selection was half and half between tofu and mushrooms. The food was fresh and tasted good. Tofu was a little too tight, but everything else was great. Plus their serving quantity is bigger than most restaurants. Food is ready to go, no wait time. My server was nice. I deducted a star because the overall taste could be improved, so I’ll revisit and see how it goes.

I ordered the Pesto Caesar Salad through DoorDash, and it arrived with chicken and tomatoes missing. Not sure what happened here, but very dissatisfied for the price I paid.

Love Roots! Lots of options to customize your meal for your dietary restrictions and tastes. I enjoy their seasonal options as well. Highly recommend for a more health friendly option with large portion sizes.

I feel like the only thing worth getting here is the El Jefe bowl but that is really good. I also love the fact that kids can eat free. It’s clean and management is very nice

I have been on a very strict AIP diet and Roots came up on a search as n restaurant where I could find a meal to eat. I opted for the ‘build your own’ bowl and it looked pretty good until the person who was making it literally poured half a cup of dressing all over it. They also did not have the lemon herb chicken as advertised on their menu.

One of the best places to eat healthy bowl! They have wide varieties of bowls and ingredients to choose from. Ordered Mayweather bowl and asked for stir fried tofu. Portion is also generous and a really good service. I wish they could expand this to the New York city or west coast and grow from here!

Where do I begin? Not only was it a rainy Sunday running errands type of vibe but this was my first experience at Roots Natural Kitchen Downtown VCU and let’s just say they gained a customer forever! Let’s list the pros because there were absolutely no cons: 1) the amount you pay for the amount you get is amazing this is the only place I have been who gives you enough portions that I now have lunch tomorrow or for two small eaters! 2) the customer service for my first time was amazing so very sweet and helpful 3) the items in the EL JEFE (highly recommend) were so fresh it’s like it’s handpicked from an all natural farm I could literally indulge in it all! If you are in the area you have to try it out you guys are amazing

Pretty standard line-style food. Pretty much like a chipotle or subway but for rice and salad bowls. Can’t really go wrong with any menu choice. Enjoy!

I like their food. But when I go to this place and try to order a salad and ask them to add Sriracha sauce, I am always asked multiple times, what’s that? I felt so humiliated 3 to 4 times and I asked my friends if I am pronouncing it in a different way! My friends never had hard time in understanding my pronunciation! After multiple incidents, I just stopped going there! They don’t value the customers and the staff is rude.

This place serves excellent salad bowls which you can order off the menu or design your self. The prices here are reasonable given that the bowls can last for two meals and cost around $9.00. The employees here are always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed, natural modern.
