Menu
Sirloin Steak Mushroom Bowl
This bowl has a base of mixed wild rice, kale, mixed greens, wild mushrooms, picked beets and cabbage, tomato, radish and pea shoots with the sirloin steak and egg. There is also a raspberry balsamic dressing on the greens. A very hearty bowl with clean flavours.
At 433 calories, it’s pretty impressive.
Truffle Chicken Bowl
The truffle chicken bowl uses chicken breast, and has wild rice, mushrooms, greens and an egg. The chicken was cooked nicely, but could have used a touch more salt and pepper to bring out more flavour. The mushrooms were delicious with a lot of umami flavour that paired well with the ingredients in the bowl. Also, the truffle oil is nice and fragrant.
This was our favourite of the two bowls. The chicken was very moist and tender. At 370 calories, this isn’t bad at all.
Final Thoughts
The bowls do range from $13 to $19 depending on the ingredients, so it can get pricey. Nonetheless, they do use quality ingredients and isn’t too salty or saucy. You leave feeling good as it has a clean taste. As there isn’t a lot of sauce, some would say its a bit bland. We were impressed by the low calories of their dishes.
If you’re in the Kerrisdale area and you want something healthy, definitely check out One Bowl.
