The Green Bowl

Having just moved back from the San Francisco Bay Area and all the amazing, authentic Asian options there, I was in need of some bibimbap; it’s good for the soul.
What I found at Green Bowl was a terrific local option! The bulgogi beef was tender and well-​marinated. The egg (over hard) added a great balance and the veggies were fresh and crisp.
My only feedback would be what seems to be everyone else’s feedback. The price tag was a bit steep, but I’m willing to pay up for tasty food. And the marinated bean sprouts were really intense in flavor. My big bite of them was a bit of a rude awakening.
All in all, great lunch, friendly staff, quick service, delicious product. See you next time you’re by my office!

This is a fun simple and unique food truck. Its the only place in the area I can get mofongo (and also the first time I’ve had it) so I usually opt for that. The BiBimBap is pretty good — but I prefer a different place nearby… and the Mofongo is really good. You get a sizable lunch, but not ridiculous portions, so that’s nice. The lines can get a bit long, so budget a little extra time if you’re going at a peak time, since each dish is freshly made (read: this takes some time). But if you’re patient, you’re in for a unique treat.

The bibimbap is delicious, fresh, and has lots of goodies in it. And it’s very filling. The tostones are also very good, though I don’t care for the mayo based sauce served with them and therefore they have a dry mouthfeel for me. The food is a bit pricey for food truck grub IMO.

I had the lemongrass chicken bibimbap. I’ll start that it was fresh and delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The only reason I gave 3 stars is the prices. $ 12 for a rice bowl meal seems expensive to me. This is what I’d expect to pay at a casual sit down restaurant for something like this. So despite the fact that it was really yummy, I can’t imagine spending $ 12 again for a to-​go meal from a food truck.

I seriously cannot believe how crispy their chicken egg rolls are. It was the crispest egg rolls I have ever tried. The egg rolls come out super fresh.
The sauce that they serve with their egg rolls is delicious. The sauce has a great balance of sweet, tangy and salty that keeps you dipping for more sauce! I can totally tell that they make their own sauce.
The tostones are very unique! At first I was overwhelmed by the flavors from the tostones sauce. However, the more I ate it, the more I couldn’t stop eating more. The sauce has a very strong old bay flavor which makes it a bit spicy. The suave is very creamy and addicting because of the mild spicy level. However, the spicy level is so mild anyone can handle it!
An added bonus — the service is so fast. The employees are super friendly and they are clearly very hard workers! It’s a food truck you need to try out!

Got the lemongrass chicken bibimbap. Tasted great, a bit small of a portion for what you pay, but that’s truck food for ya. The chili sauce they supply is fantastic, but believe them when they say it is HOT. Took down a gallon of water getting through that meal after taking a scoop too much. The food was delicious, just wish I hadn’t jacked it up with too much spice.

The food from The Green Bowl is pretty good. I like the simple menu and the fresh ingredients. I’ve stopped by the Tuesday Market in Lauraville a few times to get a bowl from the truck. I usually get the veggie bibimbap with shrooms and an egg scrambled hard; then hit it with a hint of sriracha and I’m good to go.

Delicious Korean and Spanish fusion with a straightforward menu, I only wish they had a brick-​and-​mortar location I could visit!

Spring rolls are fresh mushroom or beef you can’t go wrong. Caught them on thames for lunch. Just while they were about to pack up. Pro tip … spring roll sauce is good on everything.

I had The Green Bowl after the most recent Baltimore Bike Party and loved it. I’m Vegan and Julio suggested the mushroom mufongo and it was delicious. It tasted like fresh, high-​quality ingredients were used and cooked to perfection. RECOMMEND A+++ WILL BUY AGAIN

Had the bulgogi beef Bibimbap (alliteration FTW) and it was awesome. The food seemed incredibly fresh and the portion was enough for two meals. I would have taken a picture, but it smelled and tasted so great that I couldn’t pause long enough for that!
Further, everyone in the truck was working their butts off to make sure orders were taken smoothly, dishes came out promptly, the condiment/​utensil area was continually stocked, etc. It was a machine during a busy lunch hour!

Service: super friendly
They accept cash & card.
Tried for first time at TU. It’s always right btwn. the union garage and CFA.
Food: Bibimap with beef bulgogi. I was super excited to try this place, especially after reading the menu online. I also ordered the tostones .
Bibimap: beef bulgogi (really good flavorful shredded looking beef)
Zucchini– sautéed and yummy!
Carrots– ehh, they’re pickled so they are a bit soft and sour but not overly sour. They didn’t really match to me
Bean Sprouts– the say marinated on the menu but I feel like it should say pickled! I adore bean sprouts & took a HUGE bite and was super shocked when they were so sour/​tart. I was so mad I had already mixed them around/​into the entire bowl. These also did not match to me. They would’ve been fantastic is they were not sour.
Rice– completely plain «Asian» white rice, cooked perfectly
Egg: just a random egg on top to me, the flavor of the egg was great
Overall, I’m a foodie, I love new foods but I wouldn’t order it again. I don’t feel the flavors really matched in the bowl, I did mix it up so maybe keeping them separated would’ve been better. The truck is super dirty on the outside but I was watching and the inside looked very sanitary. I felt good about trying this truck. Because the zucchini, rice & bulgogi was so good, I’d like to go back and try the other menu items. The food was fresh. I wish they showed the calories!
Tostones: I wasn’t a fan of the sauce, but the tostones were good. I wish they were the sweet plantains though

This is the best food I have had in Baltimore. I love it and would eat here every day. I love that they do a limited menu perfectly. Love when they come to Towson! That makes my Tuesday.

Stellar service! On February 21^st The Green Bowl was scheduled at Union Craft and I had invited 30 people to my daughter’s engagement party. Snow was forecast. I thought they would cancel. Dave, called me that morning before the snow started to confirm the party was still happening… Snow started falling… I thought they would cancel… heavy snow… The Green Bowl food truck fired up its grills… Lots more snow falling… no sign of letting up… I thought The Green Bowl would surely shutter its doors and call it a day… Nope… Dave served all my guests and lots of Union Craft’s walknin traffic that day. All of my guests raved about the dishes they ordered… but I can’t help but rave about Dave and the Green Bowl who went above and beyond to deliver hot food and service with a smile that you don’t always find on this planet!

I’ve had this food truck at a brewery (Union Craft Brewing) and at a beer festival. While they don’t have a big selection to choose from, what they do have is delicious. Bibimbap is the best!

Fresh ingredients and friendly people… and I didn’t even borrow those words from Andrea J (previous reviewer)! Smaller portion options would be a nice addition.

I was able to try out The Green Bowl while they were out serving for a concert at the Flying Dog brewery out in Frederick. Between my wife and I we tried out a good portion of the menu, including Bibimbap Bowls in both pork and beef along with the Tostones and Spring Rolls. Everything was great. The Old Bay sauce for the Tostones was delicious and the spring rolls had a very satisfying crunch. The Bibimbap bowls were the real treat though. That’s a lot of food and it’s all loaded with flavor. I don’t think I’ve ever had bean sprouts where I thought, «man, I hope there are more bean sprouts in here» but even the bean sprouts were great! Try this place out of you see them.

Most often found in the Fell’s Point and Canton areas of Baltimore, the Green Bowl serves a handful of light Asian and Latin-​inspired dishes that can be served with or without animal proteins. The two elements that make this food truck special are its use of fresh ingredients and its friendly staff. The menu may appear daunting at first glance with words like Bibimbap, Tostones, and Mofongo prominently written in bold to catch the eye; however, the dishes themselves are quite simplistic once explained. And since the menu carries a small number of items, it only takes a moment to narrow your choice down to something delectably familiar. I’ll quickly run down the bulk of the menu: Bibimbap is a Korean-​style rice bowl often served with eggs and meat; Tostones are fried plantain slices; Bulgogi is meat grilled with a Korean flare; and Mofongo are mashed plantains shaped into a savory cake and served with a meaty (or veggie) broth. The Green Bowl also has a couple varieties of fried rice and spring rolls — to my slight disappointment the spring rolls are the small fried kind made popular in East Asia, not the fresh Vietnamese rolls I was desperately craving. During my visit, I ordered a bowl of chicken Mofongo and those fried spring rolls. Mofongo is a new dish for me, so I was surprised by the mildly nutty flavor of the plantains. Like I mentioned at the beginning, it was the palatable brightness and freshness of the ingredients that impressed me most. Overall, I felt the dish could use a little more seasoning and a larger layering of flavors (e.g. the sauce for the chicken had spice complexity, but the chicken itself seemed devoid of anything other than salt). The spring rolls were crisp and light — no excess greasiness — and came with a wonderfully sweet and spicy dipping sauce that was clearly handmade and the highlight of my meal (green onions, cilantro and what else… give me the dipping sauce recipe)! All in all, I would definitely saddle up to the Green Bowl again if I happened to run into them on the street, but it wasn’t a meal that would make me want to track them on Twitter so that I could catch them as they tour around the city.
