Pro: A bin that states ‘compost’ recently appeared at Fishbowl on Swan St. Con: A colleague spotted them dumping it in the general waste bins out back. Also confirmed by the staff working there ‘we don’t have any compost / fogo bins to use’, so we just use the general waste bins. Would love someone from FISHBOWL to explain this to me. 🥴 This is literally why people give up trying to do the right thing. And completely wrong and misleading to represent that you're doing the right thing, and not. Fail. EDIT: Fishbowl are really disappointed that someone figured out they're just marketing that they do the right thing, not actually doing it, and as such, when they do the right thing, they'd like us to update the review. lol. If the building management (who you are trying to blame) wouldn't allow a larger compost bin out the back, why did you still put the bin marked 'Compost' in your store for weeks until someone spoke up anyway? You knew it was going in to general waste... Fishbowl...transparency with your customers would be processing items from a bin marked (marketed as) 'compost' through a proper compost waste provider.

A forty-five minute wait for a single bowl of rice, salad, and some stringy beef as a line of staff scurry between two counters. The staff member responsible for taking orders was possibly soulless or dead on the inside, rattling off, "Regular? Large? Base? Salad?" in a monotone. It's not that the staff weren't working hard, but I don't think wait times are well communicated. The staff member who took my order gave me no indication that there was a significant wait time, but on later orders began to tell people things like, "It's a twenty minute wait." "It's 15 minutes." It's twenty five." For the record, it was forty-five minutes just to get to my order, so I'm not sure that those estimates were accurate. The food was a little dry and feels a bit like you have to chew it excessively to get down the mixture of dry rice, dry beef, and so much kale that it resembled tabouleh. There's not a lot of worth going to this place as someone who works in the area. Lunch time is valuable and could be better spent elsewhere.

Delicious! But they really need to up their takeaway game. When they stack multiple bowls on top of thin plastic, the lids buckle under the weight and the bowls collapse. I’ve ordered takeaway 3x and all 3x the salad and dressing has leaked into the bag and the bag has broken. It’s great food, but if you’re going to order takeaway bring an extra bag or carry each container separately! Or, better yet, dine in! :)

Am not having a good run with Fishbowl. This time I ordered brown rice which didn’t eventuate. Ended up with glass noodles which went kind of strangely with the beef brisket which I also found a bit dry. At over $20 for a takeaway lunch I wasn’t impressed and would like to see more variety in the veg offering eg corn would go nicely in the bowls

I order the vegetarian large bowl with coconut flakes as first it looked so yummy but however overall i felt dry eating the large bowl full of noodles and leaf! it’s a shame they charge 1 cos extra for dipping sauces while they charge almost 18 bucks for large bowl and feels very dry eating! overall great but the sauce is very disappointing!
