Bandoola Bowl — Restaurant in Washington

Bandoola Bowl at Western Market, is a gem for quick and flavorful meals. I frequent the place whenever I run errands nearby and am always impressed. My go-to is the pork spicy noodle bowl, which never disappoints. The roasted pork pairs beautifully with fresh, crunchy cabbage, romaine, onions, tomatoes, red bell peppers, cilantro, and lime. The crispy garlic and fried shallots add a satisfying texture, and the sweet soya sauce ties everything together perfectly.

One of the standout features is the staff—they’re incredibly friendly, chatty in the best way, and always welcoming. They make sure to ask about spice preferences and potential food allergies, adjusting ingredients accordingly, which makes every visit personalized and thoughtful. The restaurant is also impeccably clean, and the service is quick and efficient, so I’m never waiting too long. If you’re looking for a delicious, fresh meal with great service, Bandoola Bowl is the...

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.

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...

One of the best, most flavorful AND nutrient packed salads I’ve ever had. I got the chicken salad with brown rice & added both papaya and mango with the house dressing - I think it’s called the Bandoola Burmese. Honestly - bomb. It was both light, fresh, packed with herb and spice flavors, AND filling. Lasted me two meals or at least one and a half. Lastly the two people working there were profoundly helpful, gave excellent recommendations and made the whole experience absolutely delightful. The location inside western market is ridiculously charming. 10/10 would recommend. I will eat here every time I come to...
